Agreed... I watched the whole game and it was just frustrating... It came to a point where I was yelling at the tv and the refs to just let them play!!

I probably looked ridiculous because my living room was completely empty except for two wooden chairs and my tv on the wall... lol, We're in the middle of moving and the cable guy can't get out until tomorrow to switch the cable, so the tv stayed in the old apartment so I could see the game, lol...

I'm old enough to remember pink sugar cubes.

Anybody else? Heck, I was almost a teenager at the time.

I gotta' get a flame-broiled chicken shot, too.

And yea, the first one was a needle.

Weren't the sugar cubes a different type of vaccine?

Sabin. Oral vaccine for polio.

The original was developed by Jonas Salk, and was delivered as an injection.

The Sabin was a drop of pink liquid dropped onto a sugar cube and given to us to eat. It turned out to more effective.

I got both.

Didn't get polio.

I have the scar. It bothers me too, because it is the only blemish on an otherwise perfect body.

The polio shot didn't leave a scar.

That's your smallpox immunization, which left one smallpox "mark". There are those in other lands that survived smallpox that are covered with 'em.
