    Chickenpox, really? I had that when I was, like, 7.
    Is this sort of thing common up North? Catching children’s diseases as an adult?

    Waht a bunch of girls. I got AIDS on the first day of SAC training, and you don’t hear me whining about it.

    David: I gotta go, Sadie might have the chicken pox.
    Lloyd: I had the chicken pox THREE times. I have no immunity to it.
    Gary: We don’t have the heart to tell him it’s herpes.
    Lloyd: It’s not herpes if it’s everywhere.

    Bedbugs, chickenpox? God is not happy. Maybe GS should paint lambs blood over the doors.

    It is a sign, one of the first of many signs to come from god that Lloyd is indeed doing gods work.

    Getting chickenpox while in training is the new killing it. Sign of what’s to come for you at bonus time next year.

    @ 1- I had it around 7 or 8. Just the thought turns you off.
    It is as bad as bed bugs.

    I heard Lloyd handed out blankets at the door because the A/C was too cold…

    At least it’s not ass lobsters. Or cow pox. But still.

    Even golden scrots itch from time to time.

    @1 either the parents of that kid never had him innoculated, it causes autism ya know, or it could be due to an immigrant, many who are not immunized, natural selection is part of their healthcare

    Maybe Mike Duvally may have something to say about this….

    @13, the question is moot. Just follow the herd.

    Erin: Hello?
    STAR: WHIRRRR BEEP BEEP
    Erin: … STAR, look… You know I’m at work…
    STAR: STAR SELF-DIAGNOSTIC W32/CODERED VIRUS DETECTED
    Erin: Oh no. No, no.
    STAR: STAR RECOMMEND ERINBOT SEEK DIAGNOSTIC SCAN

    Just like GS to obscure the truth. But then again, who wants to admit to having shingles.

    There was an outbreak of asslobsters at MS last year around this time I think. Half the office was told to leave. Disgusting.

    He’s just mad we stopped giving out GS logo messenger bags on Day 1 of training to save $ (true story)

    Man, that made me think of my grandmother’s tasty chicken pox pie she used to make from scratch!

    @13 Yeah, it’s like a cow’s opinion. It just doesn’t matter. It’s moo.

    If Lloyd had really red skin he would look like a giant chicken pock with eyes.

    Don’t laugh. I never caught them as a kid, got them in my early 30s. Friggin horrible to get when you’re older! Ugh! I still shutter at the thought from all those years ago….
