Impetigo, 'eh Duff?  Yuck!     

You're telling me.  What really pissed me off was that I could tell the kid I got it from had something, but it didn't bother the ref at all.

Double Yuck!!       That made it worse for sure.

I hope you pinned the SOB.

Thanks to all who offered their condolences yesterday. It made me feel better on rough day. On the one hand, she was "just a dog", but on the other, she was part of the family and most of my kids' lives. Actually bought her from Wooderson's aunt and uncle way back when. Speaking of Wooderson, where the hell are you, Bud?
Sumander, just got the Bandwagon gassed up with the high octane fuel, plus a bottle of Everclear. ROR at the helm tonight, you'll all be in good hands (or Hamm's). Go Johnnies.

I heard he was getting a Brazilian wax and it went bad.

I always love it when title reads:

Cheerleaders. Soldiers. Booze. Sex.

End of the World sign:

Satan's Cheerleaders.       WTF

I had an interesting conversation with the Operation Manager on MNF about Augsburg football.  A few years ago he used them to work on the field for a vikings game coiling camera cable and working with the side line camera cart.  Some of them were caught trying to steal game balls and now Augsburg isn't allowed to ever work for ESPN again.

Being that you all so enjoyed my last tale, I figured I'd try another one.

A recent typo in the Red Wing Republican Eagle led to the following sentence hitting the press:

"A pubic administration job wasn't always Arneson's goal."

Sounds like a job that TDT would be interested in...assuming the clientel meet his requirement: all dudes.

[Willy Wonka]

Wonka--you are soooo lucky. My kid is moving from Rodchester to Madison. I would have eventually had to come up there and kick your tall ass.

If you don't know I'm kidding, oh well.

Huh? Maybe you forgot, but Duffman is the grappler with uncureable herpes and a penchant for smashing car windshields the night before you're due for a long trip. Besides, Wonka only picks fights with guys he knows he can pound into the ground - like TDT.

Duffy - I almost opened that Hooters email at the office surrounded by middle aged women. I held off until I got home. And...um...thanks

Herpes?!  Wow.  I remember having several bouts with ringworm and one with impetigo, but never herpes (from wrestling...anyways ).

This type of herpes is just like a cold sore. It is nothing like the sexual diease.

Oh contraire my friend.

Quick medical lesson of the day time. Everyone get your carpet sqaures and sit style..er... Native American.... er... Alcoholic redman.....er... Brave style....er...Casino style and KR will teach us all about Herpes!


There are two different main types of herpes. Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV1) and Herpes Simplex Virus 2 (HSV2). The two strains are virtually identical even under the microscope and have more than 50% of the exact same DNA. The difference between them is where they go into latency (think viral hibernation). HSV1 goes into latency in the trigeminal nerve ganglion (nerves on the side of the face) whereas HSV2 goes into latency in the sacral ganglion (nerves near the tailbone and groin). Then when your body is stressed or immunocompromised, the Herpes virus can flare back-up (come out of hibernation). This may never happen after the initial infection, or it could happen yearly for the rest of your life. This is why we say "Herpes: the gift that keeps on giving."

PiperInsider is correct as of 10 years ago, HSV1 was the "above the waist herpes," and HSV2 was the "below the waist herpes." However, there are tons of documented cases of HSV1 genital herpes as well as HSV2 facial herpes. Meaning that if your wife has a cold sore and she gives you... nevermind, wives don't do that.

The good news is that if you get HSV1 genital herpes, they're less likely to recur than would be HSV2 genital herpes. Ditto for HSV2 facial herpes.

Keep in mind that even if someone does not have active herpes lesions, they can still transmit herpes sexually. Also, Valtrex (Valacyclovir) cannot cure herpes, Herpes is a virus, so it can only be suppressed.







Impetigo is just a skin infection with Staph aureus or Streptococcus bacteria in it. Ever seen a kid with a cold who has had a runny nose for a few days that develops a big pimply looking thing under his nose? That's impetigo. Pretty easy to treat and it doesn't come back making it better to have than herpes.

Thanks KR...I was just about to look up the facts.....I'd rather not.

[Touchdown Tommy]

I am here Oldpa.  Enjoying the abuse that Wonka and the usual suspects are dishing out.

BTW: Dink is one of Touchdown Tommy's favorite words...

That came from KR, buddy.  But it was quite enjoyable.

[Kilted Rat]

Yeah, if someone hops on your computer and sees Herpes in the most recent google searches, bad things can result.


Wonka,
Yeah, that probably wasn't a good one to open around older women, especially the non-lesbian, church-going, bible-thumping, overweight and on Jenny Craig crowd.

[tmerton]

There, Duff, I made you an even 500.  Congrats.
