  1. I suffer from general uneasiness an awful lot of the time!
    This made me laugh; thanks for sharing it.

  2. MWS says:

    I’ve got pain in the aticulations

  3. lawlin' at things noone else ever lawls at like the word moose; also the CEO of trolls on trial, we make you the FIRST one in court says:

    I DONT WANT TO KEEP VENTILATE THE HOUSE! VENTILATE THE HOUSE NEEDS TO BE SET FREE!! FREE WEEERRY!

  4. JohnB says:

    Self-medication is not recommended? Why didn’t they tell me that 40 years ago?!?

    • bluejade says:

      Perhaps you weren’t listening… and it seemed like the thing to do at the time.

      • JohnB says:

        It was definitely a prerequisite for quite a few courses in those days. Besides, you couldn’t go to a concert without an oxygen tank and expect to not get high. But no, when I was young and foolish, I wasn’t teachable anyway. I was invincible and immune. Now, I know how vincible and mune I am…

  5. MeowTseTongue says:

    LOL @ Swinish. It’s as if it’s not full Swine, but Swinish… It must be a grey area.

    Patient: “So doc, do I have the swine flu?”

    ::doc tilts his hand back and forth, to do the classic ‘so-so’ hand gesture::

    “Ehh, it’s Swinish.. I’d go put your hands in the laundry for a few days, and check your aticulations”

  6. la conejita says:

    If you wear glasses, please don’t share them with me. You won’t be able to see without them and I can get your swinish infection that has been pouring from your eyes.

  7. Litewinger says:

    “4. Laundry of hand frequently with water and soap”
    Wait, so I can’t use my washing machine anymore? How about dry cleaning? Is that still safe?

    • JohnB says:

      I don’t think dry-cleaning is any more dangerous for your hand than a washing machine, but dropping it off may prove to be difficult.

  8. lexan D says:

    Swinish? Still doesn’t sound like it’s kosher.

  9. paws4thot says:

    Where is this place Swin?

  10. Meowth says:

    Don’t get tachyons in your eyes! Also, if you are hanging out with Gene Simmons, don’t greet people or hands!

  11. SeaBee says:

    It’s all the fault of that girl I met in a bar.
    She called me swinish and gave me a pain in the aticulations because she caught me self medicating.
    I told her that it was just that my laundry of hand was on a spin cycle.
    I heard that General Uneasiness got demoted.

  12. ShadowSplicer says:

    I thought it was ‘F’ for ffort.

  13. delfinlucas says:

    I’ll contact my phisician and get him to make me a bomb atomic to slaughter the virus of the cold of pigs.

    • JohnB says:

      I knew physicians always thought they had god-like powers, but when did they earn the right to prescribe nuclear weapons???

    • dr handle says:

      A Bomb Atomic – is that like a Bombe Alaska, only with a bigger sparkler on top?

      • JohnB says:

        Did someone say Obamatomic?

        • dr handle says:

          Hell’s bells, I just read that last word as “bum-o-matic”. Oh dear. It’s the sudden heat Down Here, it’s playing havoc with what passes for my brain. And the cat kept us up all night because she kept throwing up. Nobody should have to be cleaning up cat puke at 0300…

          • JohnB says:

            Beats the other end. I once had a cat who had gotten a leg broken by a dog, whose leg was set in a long splint by a vet. I was awakened in the middle of the night by a blood-curdling scream, worthy of the best B-horror-movie screamers of all time. I ran into the living room, fully expecting to find a person, but I found nothing but my injured cat and a puddle of diarrhea. Turns out that apparently his tail was badly sprained as well, so whenever he lifted it to poop he screamed. And he had the worst case of animal diarrhea I have ever seen. So I spent the next six hourse cleaning up after a screaming cat spewing diarrhea all over the place. Vomit would have been a picnic by comparison.

            • JohnB says:

              But “bum-o-matic” would be a word we could have fun with, although I am intrigued by the possibilities of the adjective, “Obamatomic.”

  14. Gavin says:

    NOOOOBODY EXPECTS THE SWINISH INFLUENZA!

    • Stardrake says:

      Our symptom is fever, fever and dry cough, dry cough and fever. Our TWO symptoms are fever, dry cough, and irritacion in the eyes. Our THREE WEAPONS ARE fever, dry cough, irritacion in the eyes and throat pain…ARRRGGH!

      I’ll come in again!

  15. lexan D says:

    I am getting a pain of head.

  16. JohnB says:

    I think this is one of the fastest times to reach 100 comments ever!

  17. lexan D says:

    I’m not sure who wants to take a nap more, me or my inner 5 year old.

    *getting back to work*

    • Maynard G. Krebs says:

      WORK! WORK!

      • JohnB says:

        *sigh* It’s not easy being a dinosaur. Am I really the only one here who remembers Dobie Gillis and his sidekick?

        • lexan D says:

          oh, sorry. but it was fun to goggle that ref.

          • JohnB says:

            Yeah, that was a TV show that I actually watched when it was broadcast. I could sing the theme song fairly well, actually. I’m not sure of the dates, but I’m guessing ’61-’63? Dobie, a college student, had a beatnik friend named Maynard G. Krebs who showed a tic in which he would bleat, “Work!” any time someone mentioned the word. The title, I believe, was, “The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis.” And I swear all this is just from memory and I haven’t googled it, although now I will, just to see how closely I have the dates pegged. TV was certainly a very different medium in those days, for you folks who missed it. Lucy Ball went through an entire pregnancy and gave birth to Ricky Jr. without anyone once mentioning the word, “pregnant.” They never showed two people in the same bed on TV, and never showed a dead body, let alone the grisly forensic stuff they show now that, even though I’m fairly desensitized to the stuff, can still ruin my dinner. Now, my 10-year-old daughter watches, “Law and Order: SVU” with me, in which sex crimes are described in graphic detail, and gets annoyed if I tell her she shouldn’t watch it. She’s a fan of the rock band Hinder, and let me tell you, it’s an odd experience to hear my daughter, just beginning to show signs of puberty, singing along spirtedly in my truck to the CD, “Let’s go home, and get stoned, ’cause the secks is so much better when you’re mad at me.”

            • bluejade says:

              Yikes. You better start talking, like, yesterday. And get her outdoors as much as possible… it is tough to raise kids when the culture is so good at programming.

          • Meowth says:

            Goggle? Did you wear it while swimming?

        • la conejita says:

          Ok John, now that we know you are a dinosaur, I am going to check you off the list of possible fathers for Dr Handle’s baby.

          • JohnB says:

            I have, as I have mentioned many times previously, never cheated on my wife of 23 years, although the first couple of years of our marriage are kind of hazy because I was still an active alcoholic. So I can’t definitively rule out what might have happened in those days, but that does seem rather long as a gestation period.

            • la conejita says:

              If you can’t remember doing it with other women while you were drunk. Chances are that you were so drunk and wouldn’t have met the requirements for having secks.

              • la conejita says:

                Hey in two more years you’ll be celebrating your 25th Anniversary! Don’t forget to send an invitation.

                I will show up with Engrish signs and people will look at me like I am crazy.

                • JohnB says:

                  Yeah, if we make it two more years, and I’m still involved with you all, I will definitely send an open invitation to the party. I would love the Engrish signs, and my wife, who does actually have a good sense of humor (she’s have to, to be married to me!), but is essentially computer illiterate, would probably like them too. But hey, when people look at me like I’m crazy, I write it off as a compliment.

                  • lexan D says:

                    Twenty-three years is very good.
                    Happy Twenty-third Anniversary!

                    • JohnB says:

                      Thanks. Our celebration was rather dampened this year, since my wife’s cousin’s husband passed away two days before, and we were rather close with them.

                  • la conejita says:

                    If you hire me as your wedding planner, I will make sure to have Curry Egg Horse Shoe Crap on the menu along with something else containing Herpes.

                    For your second Honey Moon, I will send you off to Asia where you will be able to experience Engrish in the real world.

              • JohnB says:

                Yes, that very thought had occurred to me years ago, that if I ever did attempt to cheat on my wife during a blackout I probably didn’t get very far anyway.

  18. dr handle says:

    *sniff, sob* And then, he gave me a pain in the aticulations *sob*
    Why, the swinish cad!

  19. Jake says:

    I’m glad that, at least, most of the translation got through. Naff I know.
