Stephen King's The Stand is the same plot but the infuction starts in the US, not China. Now would be a good time to read the aforementioned novel maybe but spoiler alert—the novel will scare the pants off you anyway, but this is the reality show version with added epinephrine/adrenaline or whatever fires your pistons, right to the jugular like that Mexican you heard about once, not to mention that gnawing fear of death, breathing down the back of your neck, everyday—even though you're only thirty-something—all the time (and by coincidence the first symptom of AIDS), so reading the novel "as it happens" will even have even non-readers asking friends to buy the book for them so they won't be seen in a bookstore. "Plain-brown rapper please."

Does all this nonsense sound pretentitious all hell? Because it does to me. Let's start a book-of-the-month club.

What is a first symptom of AIDS ? Breathing with your back? Wat.

The first symptom of AIDS is hot breath on the back of your neck. Get it? I am suffering from a non-fatal virus and made it worse by trying to make jokes on the fly before breakfast. Ken, is that you? "The Mexican" refers to a possible form of methamphetamine that makes you grit your teeth and feel great for a few weeks and then die with a smile on your face.

Wish I had some blue codeine or any other color. About two weeks ago I was sick in South-East Asia talking to a lovely pharmacist I've known for years, when she plopped two sealed pills on the counter, saying, if this doesn't make you feel better you are near death. The pills were 20mg Oxycontin and they did make me feel better. I could barely make it to her pharmacy the next day for more. I do not recommend them but boy howdy they gonna make you feel fine. Then on to another country where not even your friendly, pretty pharmacist will give them to you.
