No fair. Scott’s got his hyperbole shield on. It’s like he wants to destroy us all with snappy comebacks while remaining immune himself. SCOTT MADIN IS THE EBOLA VIRUS OF THE INTERNET.

Llencelyn obliged shortly thereafter:

Scott Madin: Ebola Virus of the Internet

Last weekend, however (sorry, Llen!) it got pretty squarely beat.  The Brahmina came to my birthday party, and brought me a little something from Giant Microbes:

Behatted Ebola Virus

That’s right.  It’s wearing a suit, and tie, and glasses, and a gray fedora.

Thanks, Brahmina!
