[Norovirus is real though.]
Despite speculation that the initial wave of infections would quickly burn itself out, doctors are now speculating that the nyorovirus (Churuyautsuraurakakaus) has firmly established itself within the general population of anime fandom.
The main symptom of the virus include holding up a hand to the mouth, against a :3 facial expression, and saying: ‘Nyo~ro~n’ in response to being told that one has just said or done something incredibly dumb. Other symptoms include an unreasonable fondness for smoked cheese.
The reservoir of infections were initially limited to sufferers of Haruhi Mania Syndrome (Suzumiyaharuhinoyuutsus) but meme-mutations have caused the nyorovirus to spread to other series watchers. The primary vector for infection closely resembles the original 4 panel structure (yonkomaus) of the original nyorovirus. Protective measures such as N95 respirator masks, googles and surgical grade gowns all the way but to full military Biological Defence suits appear to be ineffective as long as a person has been visually exposed to an infected sample.
Though highly contagious, those infected by the nyorovirus do not always exhibit symptoms and it is uncertain if they are infectious while they are asymptomatic. However as the nyorovirus is non-lethal and somtimes actually quite amusing for onlookers, the initial public health warning was quickly withdrawn and the Main Office will not be issuing a new advisory.
Well, you really learn (all the wrong sorts of) new things everyday. I hadn’t paid much attention to the non-dialogue parts of the StrikerS Nano! parodies, which have moved on to the Sound Stages, but I couldn’t help but notice that there’s a repeated use of ‘momi’ when Hayate checked Suzuka’s bust; then those of the female Long Arch staff and, of course, she still likes Signum-neesan’s assets best. LOL [Add: Actually 'momi' is a verb - see Orion's comment]
Hayate’s perviness friendliness is actually canonical, if you consider the Sound Stages to be canonical (which I do), and she specifically gripes about how she has had no time to seku hara (short for ’sexually harass’) the newbies in StrikerS Sound Stage 01. The above image is also official art, rather than fanart, and can be found IIRC the A’s Sound Stage where everyone goes to the public bath house and also in the MEGAMI visual collection artbook.
Girl-on-girl bust-checking has now, as far as Totali and this zaku (this links to a post where I’ve linked the Chanomi parodies about Hayate) are concerned, become *the* official Yagami Hayate no waza. LOL
So far, I’ve only found one corroborating link which defines ‘momi’ as the sound for ‘groping’ while the rest are either blissfully unaware or have swept this one under the carpet. I can’t even being to understand why such an important word has been left out. LOL
A question, that has come to mind, is: Would a facial bust check still be denoted by momi? :P
P.S. While I’m on one of my favourite subjects, i.e. Nanoha parodies, I’d just like to make a belated note of Tamagoya’s Christmas cartoons of Santa Rein and the Wolkenritter / Yagami-gumi’s present for Hayate - I really love how they can portray the Nanoha cast with such feelings of tender sweetness.

don’t know the circle’s name; if anyone can tell me, it’d be much appreciated.
…Lunamaria Hawke who, by sheer coincidence and divine destiny, is also the mascot of hontou ni sou omou? Allegations of nepotism were quickly quashed - those who had the temerity to make such spurious accusations were swiftly sued for defamation and made bankrupt. Responding to complaints about unfair electoral process, Electoral Commission Chairzaku Zyl pointed out that the iron law of ‘One Zaku, One Vote’ was strictly adhered to, making it eminently fair that Voter Zyl was the only one voter on the Electoral Register.

I only realized the existence of this little gem after browsing Shizuka Itou’s ANN entry (surprised that she also voiced Tama-nee!). Fans of Wilhelmina-Tiamat manzai comedy, rejoice!
