Sick

10.5.2015 | 8:21 am

UPDATE (Tuesday, October 6): Still sick. Blugh. Don’t feel like writing. Don’t even feel like sitting. Going back to bed. 

I have so many things I want to write about. So many things I want to get caught up on.

But I’ve come down with a pretty rotten cold, and writing just isn’t happening. 

I’m hoping to get past the worst of this thing today, and hope to post tomorrow.

Thanks,

Fatty

    Take care and get better soon. I’m looking forward to your next write up.

    You’re not alone. Many people feel ’sick’ having to leave California.

    Take some Emergen-C and get some rest! Feel better soon!

    Rest up and get better soon. We FOFs will wait as patiently as we can for your return.

    Sorry to hear that Fatty…but at least you are home with your bug….my wife and I both caught the “BUG” while in Germany for Oktoberfest (this was just 2 weeks ago)…two stinkin days in the hotel feeling like CRAP! Can’t get those days back either. At least you felt fine for Levi’s GF over the weekend…sounds like a good time was had by all. Hope you kick the bug quick!

    There once was a man with a cold
    Making his body feel old
    His nose full of snot
    As he layed in his cot
    The agony best untold

    Not my greatest work, but that’s all I got. Feel better soon!

    Elden, I’m asking because I just did it… If you execute a Fat Boy Pour into your hand instead of your open mouth, is it still a Fat Boy Pour?

    Get well soon!

    This post is not up to your usual standard.

    Feel better.

    @Bike Chick, nicely done, but I think that a cold really calls for Haiku rather than a Limerick, which is much better suited to the flu.

    Pretty rotten cold
    Backlog continues to grow
    Fatties cool their heels

    @JeffD
    Nice Haiku. I don’t know which one will work, but now that we’ve got them both covered, the patient should feel better soon. :)

    Feel better soon. I found this helps. Use extra sriracha if that’s your thing, and chicken if you don’t eat sea bugs.

    I’m not buying it. We are going to have to see a Dr’s note.

    I see in your update you say “Blugh” which is pronounced “bluff” so you are bluffing! Obviously you were caught cheating in a poker game.

    Humperdink! Humperdink!

    I prescribe a cakes shake or two as the end-all remedy for any malady known to man. Take two and write in the morning.

    Just follow The Nurse’s directions. But you’re a smart man, I’m sure you do that already.

    @Hkeylin

    He’s got 3 days, then he needs a doctor’s note.

  22. Comment by MattC | 10.6.2015 | 3:56 pm

    That’s TWO (days)….best get that Dr’s note ready Fatty! My bug must have been like yours…no way I was feeling better in 1 day…might have even been worse the 2nd day. Hopefully tomorrow is the day you kick-it!

    Feel better Fatty.

    Also, have you ever thought about writing a little about why we still insist on calling it writing. Nowadays, novels, articles, blogs and the like are all typed, not written.

    Just sayin’. (But again, I didn’t just say that, I typed it)

    Just Typin’.

    Best remedy: Chicken noodle vodka.

    Gute Besserung from Frankfurt / Germany (Get well soon) !

    Guaranteed remedy from my rather-lush uncle:
    1) Take a normal kitchen glass
    2) Fill to brim with Everclear
    3) Slug it down at once
    4) Wake up 3 days later with no cold!!!

    Go ahead and try it – please be sure to report back results.
