The other day I was doing some tech support for some longtime customers, a couple in their mid-80s (he uses a Mac, she uses a PC).
While I was there the topic of the next bloodmobile date came up.
“They don’t like my blood,” he said.
“Why not?” I asked.
“I lived in Africa for a while, and I had malaria and denaug.”
“I’ve never heard of denaug,” I said.
“It’s like malaria,” he said, “except worse. First you’re afraid you’ll die, then you get a little better and you’re afraid you won’t.”
It turns out he was taking about dengue fever, which is also known by the Elder Scrollsy name “bonebreak fever.”
