In case you haven't been paying attention to the news recently, Bubonic plague has been sighted in New York City for the first time in over a hundred years! And guess who was the first to get an interview with it? That's right--WHEN BLOGS ATTACK SOME MORE!

Interview with Bubonic Plague:

WBASM: Okay, last year Anthrax reappeared out of nowhere. Now it's you guys. Has New York become the hotspot for comeback diseases or what?

Bubonic Plague: (Laughs) Maybe. No, the thing is, we never really stopped working. We've just been on the road a lot.

WBASM: Where have you guys been touring?

Bub Pl: We did some shows in the Balkans. We did Surat, India just a few years back. Fans can log onto http://www.ento.vt.edu/IHS/plague.html#bubonic for information on our recent tour.

WBASM: Thanks, I'm sure they will. Man, I saw some pictures the other day of some masoleums from a few hundred years back. You guys could really pack the house!

Bub Pl: Right, the Dark Ages tour.

WBASM: It's been a while since you've done a large venue like that. From what I've read, it's been smaller outbreaks lately. Do you prefer the smaller venues?

Bub Pl: There's no reason we couldn't still do large shows. I mean, I'm sure the fans would show up. But, uh, it's just, like, so much more difficult now than it was during the Dark Ages tour to get the venues. More complicated. Now you've got sanitation standards, garbage collection, regular bathing, that kind of thing. We did a big show in Surat, but, you know, the access is so much easier in other countries sometimes.

WBASM: So tell me, guys. Why, after over a hundred years, did you decide to come back to New York City?

Bub Pl: Well, after all the terrible sh*t that went down on 9/11, we just wanted to get out and show our support.

WBASM: You did a small show yesterday. How did that go over?

Bub Pl: We left the audience practically sh*tting itself. (Laughs.)

WBASM: And the way Bubonic Plague works, you practically shit blood and hemorrhage from within, right?

Bub Pl: Yep.

WBASM: Sounds like an amazing experience. Okay guys, before I stop the interview, I just want to ask: What do you guys want to say to everyone out there who thinks Bubonic Plague is a has-been disease, that you aren't nearly as lethal as you once were?

Bub Pl: Uh, well, just let us do our thing.

WBASM: Thanks, fellas.

End interview.
