1. EVERYTHING is a mental disorder, though...
just check out the latest version of the DSM if you don't believe me.

6. Yeah, but they got syndromes and disorders for everything now.
I'm convinced it's just part of the plan to make Pynchon's nightmare come true:

Soon they're gonna be coming after everything, not just drugs, but beer, cigarettes, sugar, salt, fat, you name it, anything that could remotely please any of your senses...


Well, except what they can sell you, like erection pills, or HBO softcore etc. etc.

3. I'm a mental disorder
I've been diagnosed with every possible kind of mental disorder. Now they say that because Bush is a moron who has horrid wretched policies aimed at killing all of my dreams in life and I disagree, I have a disorder. And now because I need my coffee and my Dr Pepper, before I can function when I first wake up, those are disorders too? Fuck 'em. I'm a mental disorder. Just try and get rid of me. I'm like a cockroach. I'll be here at the end of time with the cockroaches. Bwahahahahaha.

5. The Magic Elixir of Life is a mental disorder?
Someone should call the guys in the little white coats, 'cause I've had that disorder for 32 years!

My motto is "don't leave home without it" and my vehicle carpet shows it!
