30 May, 2011: Death by Cucumber
Mad cow disease, foot and mouth, swine flu and bird fllu... oh how the vegetarians laughed. Now we have death by cucumber. With 14 dead already and more than 300 seriously ill in Germany alone, and with cases in several other European countries, who's laughing now? Okay, meat eaters who also like cucumbers (like me) are not laughing, but still. Even worse: Quote:
Fortunately, all the cucumbers in our local shops are grown in Australia, so for now we are safe. P.S. I hope you appreciate that I gave this iotd the date "30 May" even though it is already half way through 31 May here in southern Australia, as I know it focks with the minds of some of youse in the USA when we do that.

I always knew they were teh evil!
Roll on the Great Peanut Butter and Banana Poisoning Epidemics* of 2011 I say. Then you'll see how right I was. * Disclaimer: I do not actually want anyone to die from this. Just have an inconvenient side effect for a while.

Death by cucumber makes me think of that old "death by mau mau" joke.

The Death by Mau Mau sketch from The League of Gentlemen. The reason the audience laugh in appreciation (and the reason it's... slightly overacted?) is because this is the live tour of the TV show. The Spanish subtitles are an added pleasure.

why aren't there any aspirins in the jungle..?
The parrots ate 'em all! hahah. Reminds me of the generic name for Viagra: Micoxafailin. (variation- Midixaflopppin.)

Argh, forgot you call paracetemol "Tylenol"...
Glad it travelled for you at least. Oh, btw? The above vid are the people I refer to ALL the time. Steve & Reece (left and centre) are in the middle of Psychoville on TV and Reece is in Betty Blue Eyes in the West End (musical based on A Private Practice) Mark (left) has a Doctor Who episode coming up this year. ETA - Scotchman is a misnomer, being used for comedy purposes. Scotch is a drink. Scotsman, Scot or Scots is better.

I'd never heard of paracetemol until this very moment.
Tylenol is acetaminophen. So, I'm confused. |

So am I.
I thought P = T. Monster? MONSTAAAAAAR!?!?!?!?!?! (usually easier than bothering Wiki) ETA - you never watched the League DVD I sent you? Hey, of course it's okay if you didn't like it - it is NOT to everyone's taste. Even in my family! But if you still have it, do forward it on to another Merkin. They might like it.
