Don't be such a downer. This is a great chance for a Purell sponsorship. And maybe 3M corp could donate some of those good masks.
ReplyDeleteThe tournament should still be fine assuming the weather warms up. Next fall might be worse. This was interesting to learn: Chinese scientists identify two strains of the coronavirus, indicating it’s already mutated at least once
DeleteKC loves a good party. Remember TKC, you're talking about the same town that still had whores on the street in the 60s giving all the tourists the syph. We're not really known for our temperance or precautions.
DeleteOur leaders, who can’t manage to get potholes fixed, are prepared for the coronavirus? What a joke.
ReplyDelete^^^ Good point. Still waiting for them to completely fix that sink hole.
ReplyDeleteAll my trust is in "Q".
ReplyDeleteGuessing that a lot of those Iowa fans will stay home this year.
ReplyDeleteThe coronavirus won't be coming to KCMO.
ReplyDeleteIt's BOTH too boring and too dangerous.
It may be a virus, but it's not that stupid.
LOL! Good on you @7:48. I may not agree but you made us laugh and that is more important than anything. Nicely done.
DeleteIs KU going to have that Chinese Spy Professor be their waterboy ?
ReplyDeleteMore titays, please.
ReplyDeleteWait until the MLB season is called off !
ReplyDelete3 Meals Away From Anarchy
ReplyDeleteAnarchy began in the 1990's. Take a drive thru the Metro to prove me wrong.
ReplyDeleteAssurances from Lucas aren't worth the selfie they are seen with.
ReplyDeleteLess pointless fearmongering please.
ReplyDeleteMore Ostrich in the sand instead. LOL F'idiot.
ReplyDeleteFearmongering: the action of deliberately arousing public fear or alarm about a particular issue.
DeleteThat's what Tony is doing. It's childish and irresponsible. So you fuck right off.
TOP PHOTO -- KC's VIRAL CULTURE
ReplyDeleteQ: After attending a basketball tournament held in a glass petri dish, how would you describe the nostrils of attendees?
A: Double Dribble!!!
Lucas is lying. They aren't prepared. People will die because of these fools. And they should remember, they aren't immune to the virus just because they are in government office.
ReplyDeleteI am going to set up a booth to prevent the spread of the virus. For $10 I'll rub Purell on women's tits and tell them it is guaranteed to make sure they don't get the virus there. Just sayin, I love the TaTa's
ReplyDeleteBe sure to wipe all your cash with disinfectant wipes.
ReplyDeleteTony is alerting the public to the possibility. I know you ignorant anti vaxxers have it all covered and don't need to worry about it.
ReplyDeleteYou'd have to be Super Dave-level retarded to not know the possibility. It's just stupidly wildly speculative clickbait.
DeleteLegitimate edia outlets are treating this responsible. But not here. But who ever said this shithole has any credibility.
^^^What a loser you truly are.
ReplyDeleteThat's right, slap the little Lego guy and you've got "fair use?"
ReplyDeleteWell, here you go. Guess that little Lego guy works anywhere!
lol
DeleteDo one for chuck
11:03 has to work for the city. Is that you Quinton?
ReplyDeleteThe good news is it's mostly the geriatric fucktards who are dying from it. So this time next year, I'd expect the comments section on this blog to be a hell of a lot better! Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteBut Chimpy! What effect on you and your ape house neighbors? Lol
DeleteNot to worry, the refs will call official times out whenever there are too many deceased players on the court. The kids who mop sweat off the floor whenever a player falls will have an additional duty, to pull the corpses off the playing surface.
ReplyDeleteWhat nonsense.
Stop the fearmongering? Do you know what site you're on?
ReplyDeleteTKC churns out daily stats and stories about murder, assaults, gun violence, and general mayhem. Illegals, violent minorities, weak prosecutors, and corrupt and inept public officials. Be afraid and don't go to Westport, P&L, the west side, Independence, KCK, and the even deteriorating Golden Ghetto.
This site runs are fear and loathing. Toughen up snowflake.
And yet the vast majority of it is just commentary on news links from mainstream media. Weird.
ReplyDeleteI can't watch a bunch of blacks exploited by cigar smoking rich fucks.
ReplyDelete^^^OK Boomer.
ReplyDeleteRead the news. Virus maybe serious. Iran released 56,000 inmates from its prisons to prevent coronavirus spread. Yes their hated and abused prisoners are free to go home, all of them, murderers included, political prisoners. I think this might be a killer virus. Cancel all sports.
ReplyDeleteIt only has a 3.568% death rate. So only 3.568% of all March Madness attendees will die. The question is which ones? Players too- is it worth it?
ReplyDeleteWith only a couple weeks until March Madness, most of the games will be played as scheduled, with the exception of the opening round in Spokane, Washington and we'll see about Sacramento and L.A.
ReplyDeleteUMKC basketball just cancelled their Saturday game in Seattle.
Royals opening day looks to be in doubt.
^^^^And yet it’s not in danger whatsoever. Weird
ReplyDelete^^^ Alrighty, check in and ask me again in 3 weeks...
ReplyDeleteIt only has a 3.5% fatality rate. Well thats much more than an Indy 500 or Formula 1 race driver's risk for his whole career. Not good.
ReplyDeleteWe are not at Indy, nor are you a driver. Your point ?
ReplyDelete^^ 12:56, is that like sayin that you are glad mostly homos are dying of HIV ? Or Negroes from Sickle cell ? Asians from Corona ? Native Americans from Christopher Columbus cough ? Women from abusive spouses ?.. Keep your list going . Be the Hater POS without any power that you are.
