Anthrax Shots

It's official we have to have the dreaded anthrax shots. It was passed that the shot is not mandatory; however, those refusing will go to Captain's mass (or over here General's mass) and explain why you refused to get it to the big man. So with that in mind we put on our best face mask or tierra and went to get our shots.

Ooo-rah! We'll be first.

"C'mon Commander Neptune, it's just a little shot."

"Bah. Humbug."

"We'll protect you Ma'am."

"Oooo - I feel safe now. Does this tierra match my gun?"

"OW!! THAT HURTS!!"

Just kidding. We actually had to get a series of shots one every 2 weeks for a max of 3 shots. Approx. 30 seconds after receiving the first one, the burning hit. Man, I have never had a shot do that before. However, that was the worse of it for me. Many folks developed knots, redness, and alot of itching at the injections site. I had some of that after the 2nd and 3rd one but no more burning. It really seems pointless for many of us here because we will be getting out or retiring before finishing the series (the next ones are months later).

Teenager? Mutant Ninja Turtles say, "We're no wimps. We got our anthrax shot and kept from going to mass."
