Musings on the Most Ridiculous Band I Can't Stop Listening To

Psychosomatic For The People

I know how suggestible I am: if a doctor told me that the side effect of a medicine was growing a sixth finger, I would need to buy new gloves the next day. I believe everything I read, even the stuff that explicitly contradicts the other stuff. Especially the stuff that contradicts the other stuff, it seems. It’s a weakness, though one so constant that I’ve learned to avoid it.

So, why the hell did I just read an article on Morgellon’s disease?

So itchy. So very itchy.

      Is that the thing with the holes? A lot of people have that now.

      I only get really obscure culture-bound syndromes; you probably haven’t heard of them.

        Yeah, and everybody “suffers” from it. I was hoping you wouldn’t know what it was, look it up, and be horrified. I’m a bit of an Internet sadist.

        Culture-bound syndromes? As in, Jew probz?

          Jew probz?

          I…

          What does…

          Huh? Anyway: google it.

        I had a crush on a Jewish boy once. So that automatically makes it okay for me to make Jew jokes!

        (Totally kidding, I’m a huge, in-compassionate ass. Let me know if I go over the line.)

          Maggie, you are so swaggie, and my hypocracy does not extend as far as to tell other people their jokes are offensive.

        /The chronicles of Maggie making a giant n00b out of herself in front of people she doesn’t even know continues. Fuck yeah./

      Red, white, and blue. Morgellon’s is an American disease, dammit.

        “Delusional parisitosis”

        sounds like a jam band

          Didn’t they cover Althea at the Dear Jerry show last night?

    I have yet another set of words I deem worthy of directing to you: do u got kik?

    (Not really curious as to whether or not you have a kik. I would, however, like to let you know that my Instagram account is @gratefuldeadpics and if you have an Instagram, feel free to follow. But take caution; sometimes on Saturday nights I post super dank memes and I don’t know your meme-handling capacity.)

    • thoughtsonthedead

      I’m sure I don’t know what kik is.

      • maggiemay

        Keep it that way, for the sake of your middle-aged-ness.
