I agree it's probably Inc and Vic even though I am sure we could come up with a whole list of things to call them other than that - they are the things that are getting your odds way up higher than the old timers ever could have hoped for so try to remember that. They are saving your life as much as taking them uh stinks.

You are awfully lucky that you were able to do incivek no matter what you want to call it, try to remember that ahead of everything else.

I like Ick.  It needs to say something about it so when you mention it the people nod their heads in agreement.  How do we submit it. or is the official INC.  already.   I hate to see it get  a melancholy abbreviation. .  there is nothing melancholy about incivek!!   I personally was thinking about what it must feel trying to maneuver around in a swill-y well of blackness.  Like being on incivek treatment.  We should take a vote and send it in or at least we can refer to it that way here.  I hate typing incivek!  how do we take a poll or get more of us in on the action!   Wow I have so much to do tonight, and this takes priority!  I cant wait to get my life back!!
