fandomhigh | Love Smart: Period 2, Week 11

Exhaustion, regardless of whether it's the result of too much sleep or too little sleep, sucks. Despite how tired he was, Barney appeared his usual dapper self, Armani-clad and ready to rock. He didn't get that plague thing so there was no way he was suffering from a cold. His nose was full of awesome and he just had to get some of it out. Frequently.

Overall, he was a sick mess. That wasn't going to stop him from lecturing about how he never got sick and why.

"So, after events during our last class, I thought we should discuss illness. Hey, no one said the syllabus was set in stone. Now, I've never been sick a day in my life. How is that, you ask, given my considerably communicable extracurricular activities? Answer: Awesomeness.

I combat the cold and flu season by injecting heavy doses of Awesome into my bloodstream. Special power. NASA's run tests. Passed them all. Flying colors.

Of course, not everyone shares my ability to fight infection through superior genetics, which is why I'm offering a few hints that can help you safely and naturally increase your BAC (Blood Awesome Count) as you encounter the seasonal symptoms.

Sore Throat

Hot tea and a lozenge? That's JV. Slip on a 100 percent Italian silk tie instead. The pain is just your throat demanding an accessory.

Fever

You may be tempted to put on a comfy pair of sweats and go to bed. DO NOT DO THIS. First, no one in this class should own such a garment. Second, sweats imply acceptance. You fight fire with fire: Suit Up!

Aches

Men don't ache. Leave that to the ladies.

Chills

Studies have shown the best way to fight cold is with body heat. If you've paid attention to previous classes, you're well enough equipped to target and acquire a choice cutlet to warm you up. Heh. "Well equipped."

Cough

A cough is the sound of your lungs high-fiving. They're celebrating your awesomeness. Join in! Light a Cuban, pour a cocktail, and imagine a world without children. Oh right, you are children.

Alone, or in combination, these remedies far surpass the prescriptions of yesteryear. Remember, 'over the counter' is just something they left out of the Kama Sutra.

Students, I ask, what are your own cold remedies? How many of you were able to tolerate your SO during your nasty plague? Who was it who gifted me with more porn? Let me know and I'll give you extra credit."

[ooc: Barney is sick. In many ways. Next week we'll resume our syllabus with some tips on ending relationships.]
