          Correct, the source of the fever was never specified, all we know is that the only prescription was more cowbell. This was a real concern for the CDC and the WHO at the time, but the fever appeared to subside on May 21, 1976, when the song “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” was released by the Blue Oyster Cult, potentially saving millions of lives.

            And yet, the fever for which the only prescription is ‘more cowbell’ has needed to be cured in so many other recording sessions…

            My god, think of how ill The Rolling Stones must have been when they recorded Honky Tonk Women!

    People always freak out over this picture but it’s just a joke about motorcycles. Bumper stickers say “Yamaha” and “Look twice for motorcycles”, but it seems to be partially torn so “for mo” is cut off.

        I asked German translate if it could help me out, and it politely responded:

        “Das wird nicht passieren.”

        Huh.

          It’s supposed to be the Germans version of the “funniest joke in the world” from the Monty Python sketch they were talking about in the previous comment. I’m pretty sure they made it nonsensical because they never actually say what the English version of the joke is lol almost all of them were fluent in German

            In hindsight, I suppose I should have input “I’m dreadfully sorry, but if I translate this for you, you’ll die.”

      No no no…it’s the tickle monster. It’s like bigfoot, 7 foot tall, hairy, and can overwhelm and overpower you. And all it wants to do is tickle you everywhere for the rest of your life.

            Every year since the Release of the original Kingsmann movie i start to think more and more, that this movies villain Idea wasnt so bad at all. Except for his “let those live who can afford it” vibes, fuck that.

              Or we’re a virus like Smallpox and we explode in size but then get eradicated.

              Sometimes things get bigger before they get smaller.
