Am I a Prion?

8AA · 01-14-2006, 08:14 AM

I'm not sure that I like the term "Prion," but then again, I might just be mad at some cow.

If I consider everyone on this board to be friends, we are all Pri-mates

good one. Uh, if we're thinking about buying a Prius then we're Prius. If we've already bought one, we're PostUs.

I have tried Prioids a couple of times, but it never stuck.

Look, there's Morus the Prion...

Either way it's pointing out the moron in the prius...

Fellow Prius fans, you have not disappointed me.

If anyone calls ME a _stupid_ Prion they will get the same thing as if they call me a stupid anything else.

Some clever humor here:

Nice, JackDodge: "Maybe you're a PriOne because a group is a PriUs"

Sho-Bud "If I consider everyone on this board to be friends, we are all Pri-mates." We are indeed - very clever - I really like Pri-mates (especially as primates were my research field - I never thought they would come back to haunt me.)

But what if there is just one? Pri-mate doesn't work then, does it? Or are you married to your Prius?

Bookrats: isn't the CAR Prionized? It _is_ an electric hybrid.

Don't forget Prions are self-replicating and infectious. Doesn't almost everyone want a car like ours? More Prions!

Those aren't Smileys, they are disguised Prions! My posts are infectious.

[For those who didn't know: a Prion is a type of protein molecule which is not alive but can cause disease in humans and animals - best known - mad cow disease. Other prions (our kind) are benign. But Prius owners are pretty educated Pri-mates, so maybe I didn't need to mention that.]

Keep up the good work! More witty comments please.

I think he means 'mates' as another term for 'friends'. Not in the 'mating' sense (ie: a male and a female getting together). More like, "G'day mate!"

I'm sure he did. I was just trying to make the singular instance work in some way. Or some other way, depending on how you look at it.
