Pharyngula 

A staggeringly popular biology blog that keeps a running public list of its killfile inhabitants

While one of the most egregious offenses that can be perpetrated by its commenters is “wanking”, readers/supporters of this blog seem to be unaware of the fact Pharyngula, itself, is one big wank fest.

Buddy was thinking about trolling Pharyngula in an effort to make it on to the "High Crimes and Misdemeanors" killfile list but was worried that his neck would hurt from all the cringing caused by reading the self-congratulatory, half-witted, smarmy retorts.

pharyngulate

To crash an online poll by publishing its link so that large numbers of blog readers will make their opinions known there, often shifting the results dramatically.

Derived from usage on PZ Myer's blog Pharyngula.

Woohoo! Another meaningless poll to pharyngulate. Currently it's 60% NO.

Dude, we totally pharyngulated that ridiculous Texas-based poll about creationism being taught in schools. Count that a win for science!

Bass-pharyngeal Syndrome

Caused by the highly contagious Largemouthus contagiosus pathogen, which lies dormant in tackle boxes through the winter months and reactivates the moment outdoor temperatures become pleasant.

Transmission: Spread primarily through shared bait, group texts containing the phrase “weather looks perfect tomorrow,” and prolonged exposure to a coworker who already has it. Notably, the disease cannot survive in fluorescent office lighting.

Symptoms:
• Sudden, severe inability to come to work (onset usually 6–8 AM)
• Compulsive checking of weather and tide charts
• Acute sensitivity to the sound of a desk phone
• A pronounced tan that appears within a single sick day
• Difficulty making eye contact in the break room the following morning

Incubation period: Roughly the length of one fishing report. Patient zero typically infects at least one nearby colleague before symptoms fully present.

Diagnosis: Confirmed when two or more employees call out on the same suspiciously sunny day, and a cooler of fish is later seen in someone’s truck.

Treatment: There is no cure.

Symptoms can only be managed through periodic supervised exposure to a lake, ideally scheduled as actual paid time off.

My coworker who called out of work appears to have Bass-pharyngeal Syndrome.
