‘TIS THE SEASON: BOO FLU 2011

With the summer behind us and preparation for the holidays underway the most wonderful time of the year is among us. Oh no, I’m not speaking of Thanksgiving and Christmas… ladies and gentlemen, its Cuffing Season!! Now for those of you unaware of what Cuffing Season is allow me to explain. The highly acclaimed Cuffing Season begins after Labor Day, runs through the holidays and begins to decline sometime after Valentines Day. Cuffing Season is the human equivalent of hibernation. As the temperature drops the frenzy begins to locate and secure a suitable significant other to ride out the colder months with. As we are forced into our homes and away from outdoor social gatherings or activities, vacations and excessive partying some begin to experience the early symptoms of what I would like to call the Boo Flu. Now lets be clear, Cuffing Season should pose no threat to the “currently cuffed”, unless the individual happens to be cursed with the wandering eye. Nevertheless, Cuffing Season sets the stage for the onset of the Boo Flu (the number one archenemy to singles nation-wide).

    Boo Flu sweeps in swift and silent leaving a strong yearning for more than just mere companionship. You begin to long for evenings of Redbox rentals and romance as summer time’s boo thangs get lost in the shuffle and the desire for something more exclusive sets in. Thus, begins the search for Mister or Miss Right Now! Boo Flu affects both males and females. However, females are significantly susceptible in comparison to their male counterparts for developing and painfully suffering from Boo Flu. Key defining characteristics of Boo Flu include: excessive dating (as a means to zero in on potential suitors), intense urge to settle down, emotional vulnerability and heightened sensitivity in regards to one’s single status.
 
    Everyone handles this dilemma differently. Some people are more calculated and concise in eradicating themselves of the dreaded Boo Flu, while others participate in an all out blitz of desperation overshadowed by thirstiness (I would highly recommend the first!). Nevertheless, regardless as to the approach you employ in combating your own personal case of Boo Flu you must remember The Rules of Engagement. There are rules to the game and if properly executed victory will be yours.

    Don’t worries guys! I won’t leave you out in the cold… Be sure to catch me next time for The Rules of Engagement where I will reveal to you the ways in which you can remedy and rid yourself of the Boo-Flu and snag your honey just in time for the holidays!
