At the risk of sounding like Cathy at the height of her menstruation cycle, we just love us some raw cookie dough. Mmm. It even has its very own ice cream, which should attest to the pre-baked dessert's popularity. But, whenever we reached for the cookie dough bowl in our youth, our mother would gently remind us that raw cookie dough contains raw eggs. Raw eggs that would KILL US DEAD. So, when you eat the stuff, it's at your own risk.

At the risk of sounding like an alarmist, SFist received word today about a possible virus outbreak in San Francisco. It's the Norovirus, a common cause of the stomach flu, which is "transmitted by faecally contaminated food or water [Ew! -- SFist] and by person-to-person contact."

UPDATE: Sunday's show is cancelled.

Yikes. The same flu that hit us earlier this month, seems to have taken The Psychedelic Furs out of commission; they've canceled all three of their end-of-the-year shows including tomorrow night at the Mezzanine. This means that our Saturday night plans have been thwarted. Boo. We were planning on dancing the night away with the local glam-rock band, Persephone's Bees. Whatever happened to the mantra, "The Show Must Go On"? With other cancellations this week, we wonder if anyone abides by that principal anymore?
