Uh... - Reagen May 30, 15:52 7
- I never thought I'd say this, but does anyone want to talk Ikariam? -- nm - David May 30, 15:57 1
  - In Ike they have doctors that would have a 100% chance of testing for H1N1. -- nm - TWuG May 30, 15:59
- This is just a ST Pissing Match. Has nothing to do with anything. -- nm - ? Redmond May 30, 15:55
- sorry, I'm bored. -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 15:54 2
  - Surely there are books in your apartment. - Reagen May 30, 15:56 1
    - I am draining a whale on Ikariam so I am stuck here for a few hours. -- nm - ? Redmond May 30, 15:57
- *click*? - tRuMaN May 30, 15:53
TERM4 B- (spoils) - amoxy May 30, 15:49
Hey Loosi - eag May 30, 15:40 1
- ok! -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 15:40
Uh oh. I just coughed a few times. Under Loosi's rules I have swine flu. - ? Redmond May 30, 15:38 49
- So, when are you two hooking up? -- nm - Will Hunting May 30, 15:39 18
  - when he admits I'm right. -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 15:40 17
    - Will and Kelly will not only be married by then but be grandparents by then:) -- nm - eag May 30, 15:42 1
      - Kelly is a great strip club wing man. -- nm - ? Redmond May 30, 15:44
    - Then the answer to Will's question is. Never -- nm - ? Redmond May 30, 15:41 14
      - Dude, you just have to say it, you don't have to mean it -- nm - amoxy May 30, 15:44 11
        
        Yeah yeah, I know. Like saying I love you. But I have my heals dug in on this one. Without a test she doesn't have swine flu. -- nm - ? Redmond May 30, 15:45 1
        
        Just keep distracting her maybe Ill win this game on FB -- nm - eag May 30, 15:47
        
        no, he has to mean it. -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 15:45 4
        
        And you can tell via a post on a internet board whether he means it or not - amoxy May 30, 15:50 3
        
        If I admitted it, I would mean it. But I will NEVER admit it. So I will NEVER mean it. -- nm - ? Redmond May 30, 15:52
        
        in his case, yes. -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 15:51 1
        
        Haha - amoxy May 30, 15:52
        
        Exactly! Like all those other white lies. Like you don't look fat in those jeans, and yes, I love you. -- nm - Will Hunting May 30, 15:45 3
        
        you mean things like, "yes I have something very special planned for your birthday"? -- nm - tRuMaN May 30, 15:52 2
        
        Pretty much, but you better deliver after last year's debacle. -- nm - Will Hunting May 30, 15:53 1
        
        oh yes, very special -- nm - tRuMaN May 30, 15:54
      - Redmond..how often do you find prospects just by admitting they're right? Just throw her a bone. - Will Hunting May 30, 15:43
      - that's going to be my stock answer to that question from now on. -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 15:42
- do you have a positive Flu A test? that's my criteria. -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 15:39 29
  - Work with me here, because this is about to get complicated, but I think you can handle it.... - TWuG May 30, 15:43 28
    - work with me here. CUrrently, the subset of new cases that are NOT H1N1 is very small. - loosiflu May 30, 15:44 27
      - You keep asking Redmond to admit to something you aren't claiming is a certainty? -- nm - TWuG May 30, 15:45 26
        
        *pours TWuG a stiff drink* - Will Hunting May 30, 15:46 21
        
        I'm just Remond's back up here. I couldn't possibly care less if she actually does have H1N1, I just find it amusing that she is arguing - TWuG May 30, 15:50 4
        
        have you not caught on that I'm really bored? -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 15:51
        
        :) I might have a new strip club wing man in the making. -- nm - ? Redmond May 30, 15:50 2
        
        Me? Worst wingman ever. I need a wingman to hook my wife. - TWuG May 30, 15:54 1
        
        Wing men elevate both men's skills. -- nm - ? Redmond May 30, 15:56
        
        I'm not arguing law. I'm arguing biology. -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 15:47 15
        
        I'm arguing fact vs supposition. - Will Hunting May 30, 15:49 14
        
        biology is about probability, and I'm well inside it. -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 15:50 13
        
        But you could still be a standard case of Flu A. Just because the odds are small doesn't mean you are right. - TWuG May 30, 15:53 7
        
        cut down the 15% again because I got the flu shot, which covers 90% of flu A. -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 15:55 6
        
        But is it 90% effective? Maybe it targets 90% of flu A but is only 75% effective in innoculating you against those strains. Where's that put your - TWuG May 30, 15:58 3
        
        nice try! only 10% of new cases that are not H1N1 are in patients who got the shot. That means there's only 1.5% chance I have regular flu A. -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 16:02 2
        
        Exactly! You just showed you can't be sure. -- nm - ? Redmond May 30, 16:10 1
        
        in biology, there is no 100% sure. -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 16:18
        
        The flu shot was less effective this year. -- nm - ? Redmond May 30, 15:56 1
        
        completely untrue, it was ineffective last year but very effective this year. -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 15:57
        
        Ya know what else is probability? Cards. and I just lost a 19:1 shot today so until you got the winner - Will Hunting May 30, 15:52
        
        So was I until the failed test result -- nm - ? Redmond May 30, 15:51 3
        
        I passed more tests than you. -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 15:52 2
        
        Not enough tests however. You need one more -- nm - ? Redmond May 30, 15:53 1
        
        CDC won't do the test, but they assume I have H1N1. Good enough for them. -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 15:53
        
        I want him to admit it's likely. -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 15:46 3
        
        Only thing you are getting is it's possible. Not going to get a likely without a test result. -- nm - ? Redmond May 30, 15:47 2
        
        then we're not hooking upl -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 15:48 1
        
        Well that's because you are too stubourn. -- nm - ? Redmond May 30, 15:48
*fires up the first episode of LIttle Couple* - dug May 30, 15:38
I love FB! I trolled for a food/drug drop, and got volunteers. food and drugs will be here in 20 minutes. -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 15:30
Dear David Price, - TFox May 30, 15:18 4

    - agreed... - Mel Profit May 30, 15:33
Okay, seeing Bear Grylls pee into a snake skin then drinking it is now the grossest thing I have seen him do. - ? Redmond May 30, 15:09 10
- Les Stroud FTW! -- nm - TWuG May 30, 15:15 9
  - Richard Proenneke FTDW! -- nm - psilotum May 30, 15:20 5
    - that dude was *crazy* -- nm - dug May 30, 15:22 4
      - crazy awesome - psilotum May 30, 15:25 3
        
        they are a little repetitve and very detailed, but the Park Service has his diaries from several years at the cabin that you can download here -- (link) - dug May 30, 15:29 1
        
        Oh shit. Now I know the guy you are talking about. That documentary was awesome. Have watched it a half dozen times. - ? Redmond May 30, 15:31
        
        My Documentary was better -- nm - Mr. Chocolate May 30, 15:26
  - Les Stroud is awesome. That dude is THE MAN. Bear is a poser compared to him. - ? Redmond May 30, 15:16 2
    - He DOES have a new show! On Cartoon Network (i kid not) called Survive This where he takes kids and teaches them survival skills. -- (link) - TWuG May 30, 15:19 1
      - Cool beans -- nm - ? Redmond May 30, 15:24
So what sarah palin look like if she were in a video game I give you bayonetta -- (link) - eag May 30, 15:08
You don't have swine flu!!!! - ? Redmond May 30, 15:06 48
- Yep. No crown until confirmed as H1N1. And I hope this wasn't the bug you took with you to Africa. - TWuG May 30, 15:07 46
  - and since CDC isn't doing testing of influenza A swabs any more, ST is not gonna have a Patient Zero under your rules. -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 15:09 43
    - Wrong!!! If someone has to get admitted to the hospital it can still happen. Loosikilljoy! -- nm - ? Redmond May 30, 15:10 42
      - Which normally only happens to very young children, the elderly, or people with issues like HIV. -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 15:11 41
        
        Or Mexicans. -- nm - mara May 30, 15:16 8
        
        ha!!! trick answer! CDC doesn't test Mexicans. -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 15:17 7
        
        Are they racists? Surely a Mexican national in the US and exhibiting symptoms of H1N1 *could* end up being tested by the CDC. -- nm - TWuG May 30, 15:20 6
        
        If they get tested, it's not because they're Mexican. It's because they fit the other criteria. -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 15:21 5
        
        So the CDC DOES test Mexicans. You said they didn't, now you say they do. Which is it? -- nm - TWuG May 30, 15:22 4
        
        mara said OR mexican. that's not how it works. -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 15:23 3
        
        And I meant that they should be included on the list of who gets admitted to hospitals. -- nm - mara May 30, 15:24 2
        
        I don't think being Mexican alone will get you admitted to a hospital for swine flu. :) -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 15:27 1
        
        No but it will get you a Supreme Court Nomination. -- nm - ? Redmond May 30, 15:28
        
        You are not getting ST Patient Zero status. You just have to deal with it. - ? Redmond May 30, 15:13 31
        
        but you admit that I actually have swine flu. -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 15:14 30
        
        Why would he admit something you haven't had confirmed? You *may* have it, but you can't say with complete certainty. - TWuG May 30, 15:21 21
        
        Exactly! -- nm - ? Redmond May 30, 15:23
        
        shush, we're just bickering. - loosiflu May 30, 15:22 19
        
        You DON'T really have it!!! -- nm - ? Redmond May 30, 15:27 18
        
        my doctor says I do! -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 15:27 17
        
        She was wrong once already!! Not a stretch she is wrong twice. She's a quack -- nm - ? Redmond May 30, 15:29 16
        
        she changed her mind based on facts, unlike some people I know. -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 15:30 15
        
        Strongly suspecting |= 100% certain. No crown for you! -- nm - TWuG May 30, 15:33 11
        
        I know I can't have the crown. - loosiflu May 30, 15:35 10
        
        He can't admit what isn't proved to be fact. You are asking him to accept your faith as fact when it is no such thing. -- nm - TWuG May 30, 15:37 8
        
        what would be freaky is if I had regular Flu A. -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 15:38 3
        
        Since you have a positive test for Influenza A. YOU DO! -- nm - ? Redmond May 30, 15:41 2
        
        nope. it's a rarity right now. -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 15:42 1

        I have a positive test for Flu A. Ha! and you're ignoring the facts. - loosiflu May 30, 15:34 1
        
        You don't have swine flu unless you have a test result positive. Move along now until we have a real Patient Zero. Poser! -- nm - ? Redmond May 30, 15:36
        
        It's never going to happen baby. I thought I had it, and it turned out to be fools gold. Unless you get a positive test, I ain't falling for - ? Redmond May 30, 15:15 7

        No no no. You don't get to have swine flu. I don't care if your partner in crime bestows fake Swine Status on you. - ? Redmond May 30, 15:18 4

        I had something. I can not hypochondriac a 103 fever. You don't get to have swine flu. Sorry Charlie -- nm - ? Redmond May 30, 15:22 2
        
        ok, so you're inaccurate. I'm not. -- nm - loosiflu May 30, 15:23 1
