Human Virus Scanner

The virus that have infected you will be show here along with thier cures, if known.
Viruses you suffer from:

TotL
Go read Brunching

Junkfood
Eat some real food. Something which you can identify the source of every ingredient, not the point of manufacture.

Sci-fi
Stop wearing the stick-on ears.

Religion
Read "God's Debris" by Scott Adams (yes, the Dilbert guy)

British
No need for cure. Benign virus.

Discordia
Buy a suit. Invest your money. Eat hotdog buns on a friday.

Politics
Stop caring!

Brand Names
Having a well-known name doesn't make it good.

Hippyism
Free love is passe and potentially dangerous, and patchouli smells like cat piss.

Conspiracy Theory
Face it, the elected government is in control. Actually that's quite scary.

Environmentalism
Consume more stuff! It's easier to buy new stuff than to recycle.

Macintosh
Use a mouse with more than one button.

Viruses you might suffer from:

Pokemon (60%)
Pikachu! Use your hyper-electric-get-a-life move now!

Linux (93%)
Install the latest version of Microsoft Windows. Learn to love it.

USA (90%)
Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves! [repeat]

Gaming (70%)
Life is not a game. Roll 3D6. On a 4 or more go out and do something with your life.

Japan (60%)
Big is good. Small is bad. Giant robots would not make a good last line of defence for Earth.

BBCB (70%)
CTRL-Break, and get a real computer. Repeat: "Mode 7 was not a good thing."

X11 (90%)
I hear Mac OS 10 Aqua is nice at this time of year.

Computer Games (90%)
Stop staring at the screen and get some fresh air. You should see a doctor about the RSI in your thumbs.

I also apparently suffer from 'British'. This rather distrubs me :-).

(clicky things are evil)

It must be that dratted Man U icon. I rue the day I ever read any British mystery. (she said guiltily, as she slid the latest Deborah Crombie under the pillow)

I actually happened to be in a pub downtown whilst Man U was on telly. Yes, DC has a pub or two, of the dreaded "Irish Theme Pub" sort, but it has a large screen TV and they show the games for the fans, who line up along the bar with their pints. We popped in for a bite and watched a bit of the game, quite accidentally. I forget who the other team was.

Americans do the same thing with their football games, as I was in a pub in St.Louis that had at least a dozen TVs on, showing the three or four games that day. It was the only place open in downtown St. Louis on a Sunday afternoon, so I braved the smoke and had a decent hamburger.

I'm rambling, aren't I? Comes of being at home watching a sick child and consuming many cups of tea. Well, many more than I usually get to consume. Oh, and re-reading a Dick Francis. I blame him for all this blather.

Yes, clicky things are evil, but you've led me down the dark path a few times now. I'm passing those evil things on, just lent a few books to a friend last night (Karen Traviss and Charles Stross..she already has a few Dave Freer and Misty Lackey books at home). So.

I'm rambling again, aren't I?

There was a Man U icon? (she asks in bemusement.) I thought I saw the English flag, and I think I recognised the English lion, but... Man U?

I avoid watching the footie. Even national games these days. I have to avoid them: if I don't, I start shouting in frustration at the screen.

(Idiots. You keep pulling Macedonias, do you never learn?)

Stross? Have you read Accelerando yet, by any chance?

Ramble on. Your LJ.

[etumukutenyak.livejournal.com]

Yes, there was a Union Jack and the lion, but there was also the Man U crest, as it said quite clearly "Man U" along the bottom. Perhaps you did not get it in your selection; I don't know if they mix and match.

I don't watch all that much myself, but it's handy to have something to look at when you're all by yourself in a strange city at mealtime. ;-) Shouting in frustration is something all fans share, no matter the sport or the city, eh? Well, maybe not curling. I don't think Canadians scream at curlers. Strange sport.

Not read Accelerando yet. I've only just read the first two Merchant Princes books, and passed them on to my friend, so it's on my list of things-to-buy. Also known as "Books Hawkwing Has Read". ;-)

Why, so it is my LJ. One loses track sometimes. Hopefully one doesn't lose track while one is zooming down it, but I hear the ice is particularly icy this year.

Also known as "Books Hawkwing Has Read".

Mea culpa. 56 books this year and counting. Much badness. :-)

(Accelerando = exploding ideas factory on crack. Available AFAIK as a free download on the web, but too lazy to google for the URL myself)

[etumukutenyak.livejournal.com]

No worries; I've found his website already and I've seen the free downloads. I'm sure I'll get to it once I finish all these books over here ::arm waves in vague direction of a pile o' books::

Truly, you are a badness of bad. I could just say "no", but somehow I fail to do so. And the books pile up. :-)

[hawkwing-lb.livejournal.com]

I point out that you can hardly accuse me of corrupting the innocent...

[etumukutenyak.livejournal.com]

I know I have that halo stashed away somewhere around here.
