Oh ha ha, we are just joshing, this is really from some teevee version of Stephen King’s history of the 1976 Swine Flu Outbreak, The Stand. BOC! [YouTube]

Who is Randall Flagg in this scenario? If you cast it right, I’ll be the virgin chick who’s supposed to have his baby.
I thought The Stand was a comedy?
so are we to believe that the only prescription for swine flu is “more cowbell”?
I believe Gary Sinese was still fuckable in this movie – yes?
Transmaniacon…EMCEE!!!

Thank yer lucky stars that we are not experiencing M. Night Shyamalan’s horrible vision of the Wind/Air/Oxygen Pandemic in “The Happening”, that makes people stab themselves in the neck with knitting needles… Whew!
Rob Lowe and W.G. Snuffy Walden, in their first project together, with additions of Molly Ringwald and Gary Sinise…. how many fucking Oscars did this win? 34?

Brought to you by the same war criminals that were against HEALTH INSURANCE FOR SICK CHILDREN!
[re=300715]Crank Tango[/re]: “I got me a fever. And the only cure is MORE COWBELL!!”
Jesus. That’s what it looks like in my office on a good day.
[re=300721]S.Luggo[/re]: Between this, the volcano explosion, and the mormon crickets, I’m beginning to think God really has it in for the Republicans.
This wouldn’t be happening if we had built that giant plexiglass dome around the United States.
BOC!
This is swine flu, not chicken flu – try to keep up. Also.
Wouldn’t the best way to get ahead of this crisis be to just start burning Mexicans?
[re=300738]Hooray For Anything[/re]: And with the earthquake in Acapulco, He must have it in for the Mexicans, too. Also.
Johnny Zhivago
Way ahead of you, man.
[re=300735]bitchincamaro[/re]: That’s not the Census Bureau you work in, is it?
M. O. O. N. that spells kiss your ass goodbye.
[re=300713]you cannot be serious[/re]: Who is Randall Flagg in this scenario?…
I’m starting to think it will be Ken … he is holed up in his rancho in the Mojave eating home made rattlesnake jerky. Jim and Sara and Intern Juli are trapped on the east coast.
Now I am wondering about the prophesy regarding solid gold diapers. Will we all be wearing them?
Fuck me, I’ve got a bit of a sniffle and I really fancy a bbq-pork burrito. Think I’ve got the Meshican Swine flu.
I’m still profoundly traumatized by the casting in this movie. Why did you have resurrect that memory, Wonkette? Why?
Call in the Tamiflu Tigers!
[re=300750]proudgrampa[/re]: Oh yeah, totally. Thanks to Mexico, we have burritos, places to go for spring break, and cheap weed– what did Mexicans do to deserve any of this?
Blue Oyster Culy, baby!
ooooh… B-O-C, *and* a Molly Ringwald reference. (Also Matt “Max Headroom” Frewer.) And I thought those brain cells had been killed by the after-effects of the first Swine Flu vaccine.
[re=300762]qwerty42[/re]: Ken is definitely Randall Flagg.
See, even flu corpses have ‘Kathy’ cartoons in their cubicles.
Too much cow bell?
I fuckin love you guys.
PS – I think Sara is Mother Abagail
[re=300781]Hooray For Anything[/re]: Provide cheap and easy divorces?
[re=300714]Custerwolf[/re]: I thought The Stand was a comedy?
Maybe it will be more like Survivor.
[re=300791]ProfessorJukes[/re]: Let it be said that the one good thing about the Bush years is that they made the 80s look good in comparison.
Ray Walston, we hardly knew ye. Seriously though, what The Stand taught me was that when (not if) my immune system beats and I am still around, its off to the abandoned Ferrari dealership. Also I learnt about buttsecks. But that was in pretty much every Stephen King novel.
That would be an epitaph, by the way–”He died, as he lived; playing ping-pong.”
So sad…Bruno Kirby was just about to get what he wanted from that vending machine…
[re=300837]Custerwolf[/re]: Don’t forget donkey shows, although whether that’s a plus or a minus in Mexico’s favor depends on how drunk of a frat guy you were.
Boards of Canada did the soundtrack to The Stand? wierd.
I think the Swine flu epidemic would be a lot funnier if it turned people into pigs before they died.
[re=300724]Nerdalicious[/re]: She had to stab herself with knitting needles. She realized too late that she was in a M. Night Shyamalan movie.
