I guess Pig Flu would be too graphic. ("Swine" sounds more evil doesn't it? Like I've heard of men who do very bad things being called "swine".)Paulanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604756439843084387.post-87100616419964094392009-05-05T07:27:00.000-07:002009-05-05T07:27:00.000-07:00Mom...pig in Spanish is "cerdo" not "carnitas", ha...Mom...pig in Spanish is "cerdo" not "carnitas", haEmilynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604756439843084387.post-49326673989380360342009-05-04T22:02:00.000-07:002009-05-04T22:02:00.000-07:00Totally--there must be a shortage of "real" news. ...Totally--there must be a shortage of "real" news. I don't like the name Swine Flu, it does make you want to roll around with the pigs. Since the U.S. pork producers are mad that it's called swine flu, anyways, how about calling it the Carnitas flu, since it's from Mexico. Then there are others who call it the B1N1 Flu or something like that. I can't figure out why I'm not in the least concerned and am more than tired of it. I'm guilty of not even listening enough to know what it is supposed to DO to me if I get it.Paulanoreply@blogger.com
