As rennies, we all have heard of the Black Plague of London (1665-1666).
But there was an epidemic in Tennessee of 2007-2008.
May I present...THE BLUE PLAGUE.
He goes for the upper respiratory system.....

..I don't even want to know what kind of illness the Blue Plague can bring HERE!

..or HERE!

And the only way to cure the Blue Plague is to just take matters into your own hands and GET RID OF IT!

My thanks to all whose images I pilfered...both as stars and photographers!
For those that missed where Typhoid Blue got his start....but please don't tell the CDC. Bacardi would never forgive me if the little parrot was quarantined.

Brava, Wenchie!!!!! Could he perhaps be responsible for parrotonitis, too?
LOL!
parrotinitis! hehehe!
I'm almost fairly sure that the tick infested parasite was responsible for the RendezFlu as well.....
Oh, and BLUE probably played a role in that too *wink*
PARROTINITIS!!!
RIOT'S DISEASE!!!

Of course he did ... he's the root of evil is in he?
Damn bird. I still haven't found my flask!
So that is how you get cherpies...
* ba-dum tish * :D
OMG! HAHAHAHA ;D
THIS JUST IN
According to Ren Surgeon General, Dr. "Duckie" Gander, it has been established that drinking copious amounts of the new Parrot's Bay
Blue-berry flavored rum may cause increased risk of multiple occurrences of the
Blue Plague.
While not life threatening symptoms include:
Increase in outbursts of uncontrollable laughter. (Riots Disease)
The inability to hide yer rum anywhere safe. (Especially bodices)
And
Blue feathers mysteriously appearing in any number of bodices.
There is, at current time, no true cure for the
Blue Plague.
(for some ungodly reason the ladies keep hiding and destroying the research) ;)
Well...yeah!
He tickles our fancy?
* snorts * I'm so proud of meeting such wonderful character ...
I am afraid Wenchie it has already spread to MN.....
It starts with a little breakfast beer...

Then spreads to the beer wenches....

Then an afternoon Muffin snack....

Can you feel the LOVE!!
I keep wondering when he'll end up on Letterman...
It starts slowly...one victim at a time:
(http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m126/1Lady_Lily/Blue/n13948884_39386123_9567.jpg)
Then spreads even further
(http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m126/1Lady_Lily/Blue/n13948884_39146897_8512.jpg)
Soon it takes over restaurants
(http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m126/1Lady_Lily/Blue/n13948884_39146892_7379.jpg)
and rampages villages
(http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m126/1Lady_Lily/Blue/n13948884_39146895_8054.jpg)
And when the day is done:

You mean instead of the Spanish Flu we now have the Norwegian BLUE?
Actually, he's a Karaoke Blue. He only sings when he's drunk, and then it's off key.
Of course, there are a LOT of blue songs to choose from:
Bluebird (a natural!)
Blue Skies
Behind Blue Eyes
Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue?
Blue Moon
Blue Velvet
Blue Christmas
Devil With A Blue Dress
Blue Suede Shoes
Blue Eyes Cryin' In The Rain...
True Blue
Blue on Black
Blue Hotel
Blue Monday
My Blue Heaven
Blueberry Hill
I Guess That's Why They Call it the Blues

Or else the (Blue) Bird Flu -- the next pandemic.
"You're my boy Blue!"
Ooh-hoo, squawky Blue
Lives his life from inside of a bodice
Hides that beak when he's searchin' for booze
Oooh, Squawky, you're not so down
You like your life in a free-form style
You'll take an inch but you'd love a mile
There never seems to be quite enough
Floating around to fill your lovin' cup
Ooh-hoo, Squawky Blue
What's a game, bird, if you never lose
Ask a winner and you'll prob'bly find
Ooh Squawky, they've lost at sometime
Don't try to tell me that you're not aware
Of what you're doing and that you don't care
You say it's easy, just a nat'ral thing
Like finding rum but you never drink
Ooh-hoo, Squawky Blue
Making wishes that never come true
Going places where you've never been
Ooh Squawky, you're going again
Ooh-hoo, Squawky Blue
Likes a drink that can never come true
Drinking rum is like siftin' through sand
Ooh Squawky, it slips through your beak
Ev'ry day, in your X-stitched eyes
I watch the sun set but I don't see it rise
Moonlight and stars in your strawberry wine
You'd take the world but you won't take the time
Ooh-hoo, Squawky Blue
Lives his life from inside of a bodice
Makes you think that his life is a drag
Oooh Squawky, what fun you have had!
Sure this song sucks...that is the beauty of it! What do you expect in five minutes?
Lennon-McCartney?
It seems we have inspired a case of the Moody Blues Blue-dy Muse. ;) :D
