Understatement of the year, or at least a nominee for it.

Great, but this will turn us into magnetic chimeras.

Sheezus pleezus, I hope so!

“Somebody sent me a thing this morning where they’re talking about putting the vaccine in salad dressing,” said Flynn. “Have you seen this? I mean it’s — and I’m thinking to myself, this is the Bizarro World, right? This is definitely the Bizarro World”

Yes, yes it is. It’s so good that you recognize how crazy it… oh, you weren’t finished with that sentence?

… these people are seriously thinking about how to impose their will on us in our society, and it has to stop."

But it’s like really cold salad dressing

Plus, I thought they were all worried about having their hamburgers taken away?

kxkvi · September 22, 2021, 8:53pm

That’s the problem! Libruls are infiltrating MacDonalds and secretly replacing hamburgers with (ptoo) salads!

Lucy_Gothro1 · September 22, 2021, 8:55pm

Like, I thought salads were only for women trying to be rilly thin for their men. White women, at that.

And which dressing? From where? Hmmm…Kraft would be the uh…craftiest choice, or not?

Something a little less facetious…

In the St. Luke system—which includes several hospitals across the state—COVID-19 patients accounted for just 8 percent of adult hospitalizations in July, but they now account for 67 percent. “That’s an unprecedented event in modern medicine,” he said. In the system’s intensive care units, the percentage of COVID-19 patients went from 17 percent to a current high of 70 percent.

As for the patients themselves, they’re skewing younger and sicker than those seen in the previous surge, Souza said. Of 51 COVID-19 patients in system’s ICUs, 36 are under the age of 55 and 13 are under the age of 40. The hospital system is also using more invasive treatments than before. Souza attributed this to the younger ages of the patients, who are attempting to use every method possible to try to survive their infections. “If we’re honest about it, 40-year-olds have not contemplated death before,” he said.

And all the profits go to charity.

And if it turns men into Paul Newman clones, HEY - I got no problem!

I heard it turned Gary Oldman into Gary Numan.

Lucy_Gothro1 · September 23, 2021, 3:09pm

Good one!

It might turn my brother into this, seeing my dad was a USPS worker:

or this

Oh fuck no - my dad didn’t like his character at all! Mostly because he had his keys with him when he stopped into the bar, and that was a BIG no-no! And he’s the kind of guy I’d move away from at a bar.

But I do tell folks I’m a postal brat, so…

kxkvi · September 24, 2021, 2:29am

He was funny as heck though – as were most of the other characters.

“Norm! What’s hangin’?”

“All four cheeks and a couple of chins!”
