Oh so it's beltrose

[Lord Shonus]

When I was a kid, antivaxxers told us that getting chicken pox when you were young /prevented/ you from getting shingles.

When I was young, there was no such thing as a chicken pox vaccine, and it was considered a good thing to get it as a child, because getting the disease for the first time as an adult is potentially lethal.

[King Zultan]

Well shit I might be fucked then because I've never had chicken pox.

When you hit 50, get the shingles vaccine. Another safe method is to not interact with children or any parents/teachers with young kids. Best to swing a cane at them if they get too close.

Guess I'm good then because I don't plan on interacting with children as they're annoying, but I'll invest in a cane anyway just in case.

Canes are 100% effective at preventing shingles infections when used in conjunction with the vaccine.

It's better to aim to the eyes, the throat, or the back of the legs. Thrusts right under the sternum also work. Nonetheless given the height of the average child it will be anatomically easier to just aim in the general direction of the head. Also swing as hard as you can but loosen your muscles right before the impact as to prevent it from jarring you and thus making it easier to do a followup strike.

Follow me for more medical advice.

If we hadn't spent so much time trying to get Americans to stop coughing on each other, and just given them canes and said 'go wild' instead, we'd be in a much better place with covid.

And slightly less well off with rabies

And slightly less well off with rabies

Humans with rabies are remarkably lucid really, considering what it does to animals.

I do imagine that there would be other consequences to giving Americans canes and permission to give anyone who closes to within reach a solid whack, for one thing more than a few people would get shot.

[King Zultan]

If everyone was afraid of going near anyone because they had a cane or a gun then no one would have caught covid thus solving the pandemic before it happened.

I'm convinced.  Roll out the 'Canes for the Cure' campaign

I'm convinced.  Roll out the 'Canes for the Cure' campaign

It's immediately shut down and bankrupted by Susan G Komen Foundation lawyers

[pisskop]

They should make a PSA, 'Cane you please give me 6 feet of space'?

[Frumple]

Can you keep your six foot distance? Yes you cane!

though i think it's more than six foot now or something, we might need to upgrade to jousting lances or somethin
