Fun with Swine Flu and Rhyming

Given the slightly OOC news reporting about and around the old Swine Flu this past week I felt compelled to post the following facebook status:

Frank Lattuca Swine Flu? More like WHINE Flu….geez. Actually WINE Flu sounds like something Susan and I get routinely on a Saturday morning….PINE Flu is another name for allergies? Help me out here people….

Thankfully my friends enjoy puns as well, and this is what we came up with:

 

Andrew at 1:55pm April 30

brine flu if you are allergic to seafood

 

 Me at 1:57pm April 30

Yeah that’s a good one. I think you also have to make a face like a fish for four hours….

 

Wendy  at 2:10pm April 30

Stein Flu: An allergy to whiny Jews. (Wendy is Jewish)

 

 Me at 2:16pm April 30

and of course the mutated version of that, Dianne Feinstein Flu-affecting the DC area only. (I am not Jewish or a politician)

 

Sara  at 2:16pm April 30

MINE flu: get your own.
(note: not actually contagious)

 

 Me at 2:21pm April 30

Of course Sara, and don’t forget SINE flu, that comes in waves-but I might be going off on a tangent there

 

Jax at 2:28pm April 30

LINE Flu:what you get for standing in pesky store lines out the door full of disgruntled shoppers.

GEIN Flu:those afflicted hack people up a la the serial killer.RHINE Flu: allergic to Germans.

DIVINE Flu:for divas only!

FINE Flu: at your local library. or if your good lookin!

these things write themselves…

This is the best thread ever. I think Frank wins for the calculus remarks.

 

Wendy at 3:19pm April 30

Wow… this went off on a … that’s right… wait for it … TANGENT.

 

 Me at 3:26pm April 30

Okay Quiz Time: Contracting this flu might make you a total wuss…

 

Jeremy at 3:34pm April 30

Pine flu. What Terrell Owens will eventually get when he’s benched by the Bills. ( I am mocked for being a Bills fan.)

 

Me at 3:37pm April 30

Well clearly Detroit is where they set up all the hopeless cases of Pine flu. (Jeremey is mocked for liking the Lions)

 

Scott at 5:44pm April 30

wow. this may rival jake the rake. (Scott is referring to a similar game with Jake “the Snake” Plummer, former NFL QB.  My favorite was “If he had cancer from smoking too much we could call him ‘Jake the Trach ”)

 

 Me at 8:34pm April 30

I was hoping you would see this Scott….And no one wanted to guess at my riddle! SPINE Flu…

Does TWINE flu make you feel at the end of your rope?

 

 

Me Was up all night with the Swine Flu Puns: CoSign Flu (affects your ability to get a loan), Dine Flu, Time flu (right out the window), Heinz Flu (Worth the wait), Nine Flu (Why Romo can’t win shit), Vine Flu…okay I think I can stop now.

Endline flu: something the Detroit Lions have had my entire life.
