First?

"Humans can catch the disease through scratches, bites and coughs."
Reminds me of Nordstrom's sei-annual...oh, never mind.
Boo bubonic
Banana fanna pho phonic
Fee fie moe monic.

So I'll be hosting a masquerade ball tomorrow night...

Oh that's just great. Now I feel feverish. And fatigued. And I think I feel something painful and swollen in my groin area.
Posted by: Boo Augustus | April 27, 2007 at 10:03 AM
Stevie, you seem to have had a traumatic experience at Nordstrom...
care to talk about it??

ring out yer dead......'e's not quite dead........not dead yet...
Posted by: queensbee | April 27, 2007 at 10:08 AM
And maybe we'll do
in a squirrel or two...
Posted by: the world has a fivver | April 27, 2007 at 10:10 AM
Meh, its actually relatively common around here. There's always a few cases every year, and at least it keeps the prairie dog population down! (when we were househunting I looked at a property that had a thriving prairie dog town on part of it, and the owner proudly told me how they had bounced back from being "plagued out" the previous year. He seemed surprised that I was less than thrilled)

Thanks, LVP...nothing a few cancelled credit cards won't fix.
Posted by: Stevie W | April 27, 2007 at 10:23 AM
Better warn Mrs Hoople to leave the squirrels in my daughter's back yard alone.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | April 27, 2007 at 10:28 AM
Plague? Cool! I just love it when people get diseases that basically cause their bodies to melt.
Posted by: Suzy Q | April 27, 2007 at 10:29 AM
Me too, Suzy!
Maybe Stephen King could write a book about it, huh??

"Headquarters, I believe have located the secret squirrel chemical munitons factory in Colorado. I suggest a surgical nuclear strike on Malibu."
"Umm, isn't Malibu in California?"
"Yes. Paris is having a party there this weekend."

It appears that everything Dave has been warning us about is starting to come true -
Squirrel Armageddon!

Just like those rude squirrels not to cover their mouths when they cough.
Posted by: Joe | April 27, 2007 at 10:57 AM
makes mental note to not scratch, bite or cough on squirrels.
Posted by: crossgirl | April 27, 2007 at 10:57 AM
I blame Boris and Natasha!

Since plague was rediscovered in the Colorado in 1957, state health officials said there have been 58 human cases, with nine of those cases being fatal.
*at the pearly gates*
"So, how did you go?"
"The usual."
"Plague-infested squirrel?"
"Yup."
Posted by: Federal Duck | April 27, 2007 at 11:13 AM
I blame Daylight Savings Time.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | April 27, 2007 at 11:38 AM
Plaque - what's the big deal? Just tell the squirrels to floss more.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 27, 2007 at 11:54 AM
As always I blame Al Gore. He has always been a tad squirrely.
Posted by: From another world | April 27, 2007 at 11:55 AM
Tancredo is very frightened. He is building a wall around the city.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 27, 2007 at 11:59 AM
...and when he's done building his wall, we'll make sure to lock it from the outside.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 27, 2007 at 12:00 PM
Plague-infected squirrels are NOT Good Eats™.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | April 27, 2007 at 12:01 PM
THE PLAGUE!!! THE PLAGUE!!!

"Since plague was rediscovered in the Colorado in 1957,"
we don't have this problem in the Nevada

OFF TOPIC:
I read yesterday that the guy who wrote the Monster Mash passed away at age 69. RIP. I'm sure he'll be a graveyard smash. Maybe he can get into one of those celebrity graveyards, where the people are all just dying to get in there.
End of off topic.

Well then! It's Friday, what say we fire up the blogbar early? *fetches fresh mint and limes*

Single malt scotch, please!
Nice costume, wench!
