Yay! Mother would be so proud! I’m so glad I wasn’t something banal like gingivitus or hammertoes. No, this and only this is worthy of the raincoaster brand, I think we can all agree!
Which Horrible Affliction are you?
A Rum and Monkey disease.
Congratulations, you’re ebola!
You start, innocently enough, with a headache; a fever; chills. Nothing special. Might as well be the flu. But that is only the beginning.
You move on through the unpleasant symptoms list, inducing vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea. You start to shut down the kidney and liver, and start to cause bleeding both internally and externally, with little or no clotting. Finally, the patient crashes and bleeds out, in a veritable explosion of blood. Anyone who has contact with that blood, or any of the patient’s body fluids while s/he is infected, is also liable to get you. Now that’s what I’m talking about!

Jackpot! What a great affliction.

Congratulations, you’re rickets!
Caused by insufficient phosphorous, vitamin D and/or sunlight, you cause those unlucky enough to suffer you to have swelling in the joints, and bending of the longer bones (such as those found in the legs) in growing children.
You’re not very prevalent in affluent societies any more – but don’t worry, there’s always the third world!
haven’t even heard of this disease until now. :?

You haven’t? Well, that’s because you don’t live in the Third World.
As for ebola, I always wondered why my ex called me that. Given what I did to him, it all makes sense!

Well, I think I’m pretty even with you:
RABIES
Congratulations, you’re rabies!
Transmitted by rabid animals, you’re most commonly found infecting creatures such as raccoons, skunks, bats and foxes. But don’t worry, you affect humans too, causing either paralysis or hyperactivity in your advanced stages, and ultimately death.
Your most famous symptom is hypersalviation – that delightful foaming at the mouth that we have come to know and indeed love. However, you can also cause hallucination; think of the fun you could have at parties!
If you wish, you can proudly tell the world that you kill dogs . . .

Just don’t tell your dog! And don’t bite the poor thing, either.

No worries. I’ll just attack humans like Marilyn Chambers did in that delightful little Canadian classic, ‘Rabid.’
Except for the having sex with men part, of course.
Feb 27, 2009 @ 13:35:56
I think that comes in the latter stages of the disease.

@g eagle: A sci-fi reference instead of an Imperial Rome reference? Clearly, The Geek Wants Out!
I tried the quiz, but the only answer I got was “You are Raincoaster, house guest.”

I’m rabies too. Well, at least I’m in good company.
Hmmm, should I rethink the Raincoaster at casa az plan, Metro?
Feb 27, 2009 @ 21:45:27
Hahahahaha, Metro, that’s it. Next time I use a pair of your underwear to clean up the cat piss, I won’t bother to fold it up and put it back in the drawer.

You see, RC, that’s why you have to cut down on the amount of lamp oil you drink. Those were your undies, not mine. The beaver-fur trim and velcro crotch were a dead giveaway.
As to mopping up cat piss with them, well what’s one urine stain more or less, eh?
I took them to have the cat piss cleaned out, it seemed the gentlemanly thing to do. As I entered the cleaner’s, the guy behind the counter sniffed and, without turning around, said “Raincoaster! You’re back!”

Don’t be silly; anyone who reads my Twitter knows I don’t wear underwear.
