Virus 1, Far 0

[darthfar]

So. My hypothalamus has gone on Christmas vacation, my throat feels as if I've been eating economy packs of razor blades, and the mucus-production plant in my nose, having realised that it is already the end of the year, with nothing to show for it, has, in a fit of frenzy, gone into production overdrive. I'm pretty sure that a battle between nucleic acid invaders in protein capsid armour, and my body's police force and SWAT team, is raging somewhere. In the meantime, said defending army is far too busy to engage in less important maintenance activity, with the result that I also managed to come down with a very interesting case of food allergies last night, and had to be medicated with long-acting antihistamines - and so have been in Major Wooze Mode from last night right through to this morning's meeting (and I'm still woozy). The only good news is that, come hell or highwater, I am still perfectly capable of aiming and firing a sniper rifle with impeccable accuracy. So I may be shambling through the city with bloodshot eyes and a gushing nose, but those dang zombies in Louisiana are still Eating Lead. Aheheh.

That was a remarkably entertaining account of what seems like a pretty dreadful flu. D: At least you can still kill zombies at your leisure?

Let me know if there is anything I can do for you!

"At least you can still kill zombies at your leisure?"

Since the cold has given me a foul disposition, I'd say that'll be my remedy for the next few days. Boom, headshot. Oh wait, wrong game.

Thanks for the offer, but you might want to take preventive measures yourself, say, eating sackfuls of oranges. Cos I'm pretty sure I caught this virus* from a friend in Texas...

Aw, hope you feel better soon. Er ... at least your sense of humour hasn't been infected? That's good, right? Louisiana had better appreciate the fact you're ridding them of zombies even in your weakened state. :)

Hope the defending army manages to beat back the invaders quickly.

Thanks. LOL, it would be a bad bad day indeed if my sense of humour were wiped out by viruses. It just gets corrupted. ;)

And yeah, I totally deserve an award for my part in eradicating zombies in Louisiana, ROFLMAO. I kid.

Kill some of the bastards for me, Cary. Nasty things that they are - Enjolras was quite wrong about the equality of the grave. Zombies must...erm...die? Be destroyed?

Must introduce you to the blokes in my circle of friends - they all regard the silver lining to having an ailment as being able to jump on line and wreak havoc.

Hope you feel better soon!

Thank you very much. :)

And purge dreamtime Sydney of its zombie menace? Gladly. [biggrin] I'll bring my team over: they're a bunch of pyromaniacs/demolitionists who'll jump at any chance to bomb/burninate any grey-skinned ex-humans.

[And I still think said ex-humans should best be left to Combeferre and Bahorel. ;)]

Awesome, haha. I'm feeling ever so guilty right now - when I was an undergraduate student, I used to destress on weekends by playing shooters with my mates at the local arcade...
