tastes like chicken

The lack of posts on TKID's blog of late is due, in part, to a particularly virulent strain of influenza that is currently in epidemic form in the Netherlands. Shortly after landing in said country, this flu knocked down ALL of the kids. It was a rough ride, but we came out on the other side with many a thought. For one, would our lights be turned off forever when we experience a similar bout of hallucinations (brought on by fever, not fungus) in coming years as the Avian flu inevitably races around the world? It's certainly possible, as death count projections for such a pandemic range from 2 to 280 million. It might be time to do like many of those Red State idiots did on the incredibly lame "Y2K" and stock up the bomb shelter with krispy kremes and kool-aid. Even that precaution probably wouldn't help, or so say the experts. Eventually, TKID4 would need to go on a beer run, and a mullet-bedecked 7/11 clerk would surely sneeze on the case of High Life, dooming all shelter-residing kids. Oh well, TKID4 knows one thing for sure: he's going to get his kicks in before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.
