Man! Y'all are a bunch of sick fucks making bets like this.
Shame, shame, shame! OK, I'll play too. :wink:

I call dibs on West Virginia.

They make hella good moonshine there.
Folks drink a lot of moonshine there.
The Swine Flu doesn't have a freaking chance there.

Moonshine is the curing vaccination against Swine Flu.

That page hasn't been updated since Monday, and I have'nt seen Jack Diddley about the Swine flu on the news in the last few days either.

Does this mean we sucessfully killed the Virus ?

this one shows all states as 'probable"

http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/update.htm

I don't know if this means every state has it or not..... this is a canundrum.

NEWSFLASH!! No reports of the Swine Flu have been reported
in either state yet, but several cases of a mysterious strain of
Sheep Flu has killed fourteen cowboys in central Wyoming.

So when does this contest end?

We have a winner

Post by oneeyeddick » Wed May 27, 2009 8:39 pm

WE HAVE A WINNER !!![/size]

Even though it hasn't made it to that national map that I posted a link to, Wyoming reported thier first case today.

Click here for proof of that

That makes West Virginia as the last state, and places Monkeypoo as the winner !!!

Sooo, Monkeypoo

Do you like your bacon thick or thin ?

Chewy or crispy or somewhere in between ?

Now, step on up to the podium, and be sure to put on your best face.
