I hate the C-word so much I can't stand to even say it or write it. You've really taken the power/yuck factor out of it. 😂 I'm not going to even attempt to add one to the list. Well, maybe F-You Covid. Is that on your list? A favorite is Stupid-Is-As-Stupid-Does Covid. 😂😂😂 Also food favorites... Mom's Meatloaf Covid and Pioneer Woman Covid 😂😂 This made my day! Thanks for the laughs, Bill!

Thanks, Barbara. If you read my Intro piece, you might remember that I was not going to try to save the world with every article. My late mother always told me she liked my irreverent, stream-of-conscience silly pieces best. So this one was for Mom. I write these in about 45 minutes compared to four days for my "save the world" efforts.

Blockbuster will reopen under the name “Covideo.”

“Ovid’s Covid” is a newly discovered epic poem that will soon surpass Metamorphoses in popularity.

That about covers it. I remember at work saying to the staff "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia, Covid, Covid, Covid." I should have been on Twitter then. Oh well. The x-rated Covid is interesting. I think the vax should be x-rated so it's kept from the kids, or anyone for that matter.

And my recent article got at least one more reader for this article! For some reason, it tickled me ... but it never really took off. Thanks for reading. I just thought of a new one

Conspiracy Covid.
