Heal Meh!

BRK » 21 October 2007 » In Non-WoW » 18 Comments

One of the great bonuses of being a father and a husband is that one never gets sick. Can’t happen, no sir. We are the protector and provider and boogie-man chaser. Sickness is not in our vocabulary. Weakness cannot be allowed to take a foothold on our person. We forbid it.

One of the great bonuses of being a man is that when we do get sick, we get to let out every little-boy instinct and thought that has been buried in our DNA since our first male ancestor slithered out of the primordial ooze. We get to whine and complain and make everybody else miserable. Nothing is fine, nothing is well, nothing is good enough, not even the tomato soup we really hope Mrs BRK makes for us tomorrow.

/sniffle

We need skim milk, not whole, (the fat in 2% makes us woozy.) And not the bisque, just regular soup. We bought a case of it before the last hurricane for just such an emergency. No crackers. No parsley sprinkled with love on top. Just tomato soup. In a mug. The big one. Not the cracked one, not the one with the cute saying, just a manly mug. For we are manly in our sickness.

/sniffle

And NyQuil. Yes, we buy the generic stuff but we really need the brand name or it won’t work, trust us. She’s stronger than we are. She makes babies, we make movies. She wins, we surrender. NyQuil FTW. Gallons of it. Pour it in us with a funnel. Dump it on our body like we were on fire.

/sniffle

And don’t worry, we’ll recover in time for our Kara raid tomorrow night, or we’re gonna throw a whining hissy-fit the world hasn’t seen since Anakin cried over what’s her name, Pandabear.

    Just wanted to say YOU FRIGGIN ROCK. Been watching your movies while doing nether faction. Itunes website is down for maintenance so no full size movies for me yet. Keep it up but dont burn yourself out. Thanks for eveything.

    The full-sized movies are on filefront.com

    Or at least most of them are.

    I hope you feel better BRK, but NyQuil won’t help. They took the good stuff out. You need a pseudoephedrine kicker.

    Eat garlic. The cure to the common cold.

    Feel better man, I hate getting sick but I’m withya on the what the sick man wants the sick man gets.

    BTW love the BRK Worldwide Amalgamated Productions.

    Sadly Nyquil hasn’t been good since the early 90’s when it still had 25% alcohol. Dropping it down to 10% just destroyed the effect :)

    Take care. Sleep! That’s the best healer.

    I loved the Robot Chicken reference. You rock.

    Well, I’m not much of a whiner myself when I get sick, but I wish you a swift recovery anyway! :)

  12. Macciatto and Catsmeow on October 22nd, 2007 1:15 pm

    This coffee named hunter who got answers wishes you well.

    BTW, I haven’t dumped the guild (yet) and we ran Kara last nite for a change. We got to the opera and nearly wet myself when it was The Wizard of Oz…. Could it be? Could I have my very own shot at…. dare I say it? LEGACY WILL BE MINE!

    Not last night… our group folded (sigh)…

    It… WILL… be mine..

    Best Wishes,

    Meth-heads ruined NyQuil too. Notice the slogan no longer says “stuffy-head.” It was totally ineffective the last time I needed my Mrs. to make me some soup in a manly mug.

    Ask the pharmacist for the good stuff.

    My wife;s an ICU nurse. They have short attention spans. Basically, you need to get better in 48 hours or die – after that they don’t wanna hear about it. I hope Mrs. BRK is a little more understanding.

    Get well soon!

    Get well soon BRK. Your posts make my days go by so much faster at work.

    yumm – garlic :)

    I use so much garlic in everything I cook, so so good.

    I need to start a WoW blog with heavy doses of cooking discussion. :)

    Well, if one thing brightens up your day, it could be that TJ’s missed the cutoff on Wintersaber Trainer rep… and the dollar is yours again. :P

  18. RabidPoultry on October 22nd, 2007 4:44 pm

    Get better soon BRK, you gotta launch soon I think!

    And TJ lost the dolla??, uh oh
