Author Topic: Who else got sick (literally) after showest? Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 03-14-2003 09:18 AM                        Ocean Food Phil says : Yum, Yum "A hot meal"  |  IP: Logged Greg Borr Film Handler Posts: 39 From: Watervliet, MI Registered: Mar 2000 posted 03-14-2003 09:23 AM                        3 out of the 4 of us from RTS came down ill either late in the week or upon returning home. I'm finally starting to feel a bit better today. We did not attend anything other than the trade show, must of been something going around.  |  IP: Logged Paul G. Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 03-14-2003 12:58 PM                     I think we came down with a strep of some sort. Lately, I have read about some of these strep infections becoming antibiotic resistant. If I recall correctly, there is a "new one" that has poped up recently. It would not suprise me that this is what hit us at ShoWest.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 03-14-2003 02:41 PM                        I ate a lot of seafood in Vegas, and I did not get ill at all. Probably because I had steeled my system with a few of the drinks that Bob had mixed. One question remains: were those big gin and whiskey bottles actually made from plastic?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-14-2003 02:58 PM                     Yes they were plastic bottles. One thing is for sure, Bob's mixed drinks are nothing like John Pytlak's!  |  IP: Logged Christian Appelt Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 505 From: Frankfurt, Germany Registered: Dec 2001 posted 03-14-2003 05:03 PM                     Didn`t anybody try FilmGuard as a cure? I thought there was no disease it could not cope with...just drink it, inhale it or take a bath in it!  |  IP: Logged Christopher Duvall Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 500 From: Denver, CO Registered: Dec 1999 posted 03-14-2003 05:35 PM                     I, my wife and quite a few of my staff memebers have become sick as well. Some thing is hitting Vegas pretty hard right now. Last night after the inventory and build up, I went home with a fever of 101. Today, my stomach is having an argument with some of the other internal organs. The noises I am hearing in not encouraging. Hopefully I will feel better when i go in tonight. It looks like an office night tonight...  |  IP: Logged Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 03-14-2003 08:35 PM                        Someone print this thread & count how many subjects have branched off the original topic Whew.... gotta eat more vitamins to keep up with you guys!... either that or drink more  |  IP: Logged Paul G. Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 03-14-2003 09:28 PM                     Hahahaha, Jack! I noticed a couple of hefty snorts of brandy, votka and rum helped my sore throat. However, I didn't know if I was coming or going... The morning after the night before is usually quite rough. And yes. This thread is quite versitile so far. It covered everything from freezing your balls off to puking.  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 03-14-2003 09:39 PM                    hmmmmmmm has anyone checked the water lately.

Sushi and oysters on the half-shell are NOT cooked....THAT would be sinful. I must say I don't know which is worse after reading Daryl's post: The seafood or the red/white meat from all those animals wallowing around in stockyards knee-deep in cow shit. Yeah right, happy cows... I guess it really doesn't matter if one doesn't stop and ponder the sources of our protein "food". >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-15-2003 10:01 AM                     The only reason people get sick is some blood polutes there alchohol stream Any way hope everyone is feeling better soon  |  IP: Logged Paul Goulet Master Film Handler Posts: 347 From: Rhode Island Registered: Jan 2000 posted 03-15-2003 11:31 AM                        Sounds like this could be called the FILM-TECH FLU.
