Making fun of COVID

After all the hullaballoo over this virus, I'd like to suggest we devote a thread to all of the monikers, nicknames, parodies, etc. being used to make fun of the biggest non-disaster to ever control the world.

Also please let your votes be heard for the most creative. ;)

    Got it. Nice! Thank you! I can't sing worth a darn, but I gave it a shot here alone in my "man cave" LOL.

    The link brings me to your splash screen with the train, but the verbiage says the page can't be found.

    Loved it, SLL! Holy smokes you nailed 'em! LOL.

    Side note: This passage "“He was our first call,” Kielbasa said. “He’s pledged five billion to find a vaccine. He said his contribution would have been ten billion, but his divorce has left him a little short. He’s personally supervising the effort, says there’s no time to spare. He sends his regards. Of course everyone else is going to kick in on this. They have to.” There was no mistaking the urgency in her voice..." reminded me of the looters lining up to invest in Francesco D' Anconia's Mexican mine in AS. If only that were true of these evil people and they all lose their butts.

    I already have one ready-made, which I'd posted to Faceplant a coupla weeks ago. 'Works perfectly here so...

    The... the... the... Omicron Variant! ~ ~ woooooo!!! ~ ~
    O-M-I-C-R-O-N <= :anagram letter scramble: =>
    M-O-R-O-N-I-C

    So... a variant that prominent South African doctor Angelique Coetzee describes as only "mild" - quickened pulse, sore muscles and a slight cough (Oh, the humanity!) - of a flu which itself was less deadly than the ordinary flu season of 2017-2018. Uh, yuh.

    So... nomenclature. Now these out-of-control, Demo-fascist politicians are just getting silly.
    "Omicron?" Really?

    "Fifteen days to flatten the curve" clearly is becoming "Fifteen years to flatten the human rights." Yet some people are actually taking this lunacy seriously. It's our job to make sure the scam - particularly this latest, comedic desperation move in Exciting Nomenclature - gets the ridicule it deserves. While we prod our elected officious, at levels Federal, State and Loco, to take a Lt. Col. Frank Slade / "Scent of a Woman" flamethrower to this two-year-old totalitarian scam.

    Enough.

    I say we start a contest, with the ultimate goal of compiling a useful list of Excitingly-Scary Names for the next dozen or so "variants" that these control-fetishist retro-Marxian weasels line up for us. You know, names that are Guaranteed To Get Media And Politicians Back In A Fresh Lather. So here are some of mine, to put into play after everybody's started yawning about the d-d-d-dread Omicron Variant ( ~ ~ woooooo ~ ~ ):

    - Necronomicon Variant
    - Sauron Variant
    - Vader Variant
    - Pandora Variant
    - Reaper Variant
    - Voldemort Variant
    - Medusa Variant
    - Caligula Variant
    - Mephisto Variant
    - Warlock Variant
    - Magneto Variant
    - Chucky Variant
    - and of course, The Bogeyman Variant.

    Add yours. Make some memes on the prospects and on the contest. The possibilities are endless, for there are thousands of Impressively-Scary villains from thousands of movies, books, mythology and from every other cobwebby corner of culture. Let's go find 'em and compile 'em. Because the totalitarians need our help - with new ideas to keep the tired narrative fresh for the rest of the decade. Or so.

    I read it, twice. Never found any satire in it at all. And the only untruth, the line that states, "This story is fictional", I didn't see any fiction in at all, only the names were changed to protect the guilty. There is a lot more to this story, it just hasn't been released yet.

    Yeah, It can hardly be new. It just works, especially after reading about his time in Washington. And I'm not done yet!

    This may not qualify as a moniker, etc; But I am currently reading "A Plague Upon Our House" by Dr Scott Atlas. I just keep coming back to mentally phrasing Atlas Shrugged. Can't help it.

    The non-variant which wanted to depopulate the US, with Fauci follwowing behind saying "I think you can, I think you can."

    Am reminded of the old, old, OLD joke about the doctor who invented the cure for which there was no disease. His wife caught the cure and died.

    That was hysterical, straightlinelogic! Bravo for stitching that masterpiece together! If the Oopsilon takes hold, we will have to remove those progressive "vectors" at light speed!

    The last time me dino said Omicron in front of someone, I first explained that Deep State control freaks picked the name of that new variant to sound scary before I held up my hands like dino claws and bellowed, "OMICRON!"
    Think next time I'll add, "Send for Godzilla. A new challenger awaits in Tokyo."
    Me dino can just see it now. A Japanese scientist points at the approach of a gigantic sickly pile of puke with claws and cries, "Oh, no! Here comes--OMICRON! NOT OMICRON! EEEEE-YAAAAAAAAAAH"

    In the cloudy realm of Asgard where dwells the Scandinavian gods next door to Valhalla where Viking heroes hack each other to pieces for the sheer fun of it all day, we can find mighty Thor and sneaky Loki, sons of Odin, good god of manliness, whose counterpart divinity antithesis art cough-cough-cough Covid, sickly god of the gagging grunge. For it is written, "Ye who cannot hold a candle to Ovid shalt go the way of Covid and be no more . . . unless you get better."
