No. Not literally. My name is Patrick, not Paranoid.

I am starting to think that colds can be transmitted via web--or e-mail at least.

No one accept any e-mail from arriki. I have been bowl hugging sick ever since arriki e-mailed me that he has the flu.

OK. I know what you are all thinking--this time I am being literal, I am a mind reader--and yes I am crazy. But that is beside the point and has little to do with the facts.

The facts? Well, I haven't any at this time but you can bet I will. Right now I only have accusations.

You sneezed on your keyboard when typing that letter, didn't you, arriki!

er, if you want to get your facts straight you might learn that arikki is a she...

And certainly viruses are transmittable via computer. I'm sure of it. When you share a keyboard, wash your hands afterwards.

Nah. I'm thinking you're right (accept about the Arriki/gender thing). There's a thin psychic thread that connects when we communicate via the web, and it can send us vibes (that's why you're head feels fat and squishy when you get a lot of spam)and sick vibes are the worst. The thing is, you're vibe sick, not germ sick. But a virus is a virus, hey?

Hey! It worked!

I got a string of rejections so I sent my headcold attached to a post in the IB for President thread as a way at getting back at the world. Got a few more rejections since then. I wonder what will happen when I paste this bubonic plague to this one?

So do you think that Stephen King was infecting the world when he wrote The Stand? Thanks the gods that he did not post it!

LOL

Actually, I meant 'he' in a gender nuetral way. I really don't know what an arriki is, animal, mineral, man, woman, alien(probably this last, since that seems to be the predominant species in this space station.). On a side note I have noticed a trend where poeple writing columns use 'her' and 'she' in a general sort of way, in place of 'him' and 'he'. This is, of course, inappropriate. (Buckling up for hatemail.)

I apologize, profusely, if I have given any offence--to arriki, not to you aliens! :raspbery:

I have a hard time keeping track of any Hatrackers names and their real identities(probably, because I haven't met any of them in person. But mostly because I'm an imbecile.). I need a face to pin names to.

This is probably a good thing for two reasons. If I get a scalding critique I not only do not take it personal, I don't even remember who it was from. And, secondly, if the guys in white coats ever catch up with me I won't be able to name names. You know who you are!

Gotta run. They are getting nearer!
