Jim & Yahtzee's Rhymedown Spectacular: The Analogy of the Mosquito

[Weaver]

My home remedy for getting better is to wait until my body's natural immune system fights the virus in my system. Works every time!

 

[Psychobabble]

I'm sorry to spoil your wonderful analogy Yahtzee, but the bloodsucking members of the mosquito family are all female.

Seriously? You feel the need to point out that the blood sucking ones are female, but you don't take issue with them talking? Congratulations for being able to share your nugget of wisdom.

A similar thing happened a few years ago when a person wrote a letter of complaint to a newspaper that had featured a Far Side comic where the male mosquito made a comment about sucking blood.

Mosquitoes seem to communicate with each other just fine. They just do so in mosquito.

Maybe in his world travels Yahtzee has mastered their language. I mean my Gran is upper crust English and in her globe trotting years she willed herself the ability to speak to poor people. I'm sure human to mosquito communications is a trifle compared to that struggle. I figured I'd give him the benefit of the doubt.

However now that you bring it up ...

MOSQUITOES CAN'T TALK YAHTZEE, YOU DUNDERHEAD! I find it a serious liberty for you to so callously misrepresent the mosquito population in this manner.

Given Jim's comments on Krahulik, I am genuinely hoping the next Jimquisition is all about him. Really. Really hoping so.

Sorry you're sick Jim but if it's any consolation you made me laugh out loud repeatedly this week with your rant poem.

Ermmm.... can anyone tell me what is it that happened at PAX that annoyed Jim?
Besides getting sick I mean

He mentioned "Krahulik" being the one to sour him so a wild stab in the dark would be:

On a semi-related note, if you were to wear your gloves would that help with the handshakes, or is sickness just inevitable at cons?

It's just inevitable from having so many people, some of whom have poor hygiene or sickness they brought with them, in such close proximity to each other for prolonged periods of time in an enclosed environment. That's not factoring in the effects of con food, lack of sleep and stress.

You just have to embrace the gifts Papa Nurgle gives you and wait out Nurgle's Rot "ConFlu"

Hopefully Jim gets better soon. Wonder if the next jimquistion is about Krahulik?

 

[Rebel_Raven]

Jim, you're right! You deserve a medal! Get well soon, Jim!
Thank god for Jim, and his work ethic!

Yahtzee had quite the excellent poem! Very true, very telling. Powerful message.

... is that all? Not to revive the controversy, but have we really got to the point where he just makes reference to other things he's said to start a new firestorm? All the things he's done and he gets press over a comment that's little better than a forum troll?

Holkins once said that Krahulik had a talent for finding exactly what button to push, even on a person he met a few minutes ago, and then pushing it. I think he's finally found the media's button, and it's shaped like a dickwolf.

 

[Impluse_101]

Both poems made me feel rather sad
One for stupid humans, one for seeing good humans sick.

 

[SerithVC]

Derp, Maybe it's you who is dirty, all I hear is whine whine whine whine whine from Jim. But Yahtzee had a great one this time. Actually pretty perfect

EDIT: Sucks that hes sick but good job wasting our time.

Sorry you took my video so seriously.

but jim, you should know by now how few can actually take a joke, and i found something you might have fun bring up http://www.dccomics.com/node/305151

Why do so many get sick at cons? I never have. Perhaps I'm just superman :O

How many fans of yours do you shake hands with?

You assume people need be fans to shake hands or do other physical things together with?

My point being there's a fair chance he's making a lot more physical contact with strangers.
