HOW THE FUCKING DICKASS SHITCOCKER DID I MISS THAT IT'S TOURETTE SYNDROME AWARENESS MONTH?

What?

Oh, yeah, 'cause I never pay attention to that crap.

I blame The Fuckbrain.

Oh, and it seems that there were books about pimping even at the turn of the century. All about the Benjamins? Fuck that, he's...

"He examined the bizzare machine with a studious eye, and was worried by what he saw. "Good lord!" cried John Henry in a tremulous voice, "we are almost out of toiletry papers! I must have my hos enact a resupply forthwith!" He rapped his slim ebony cane twice upon the marble floor and strutted away as a horde of his highly trained French tarts descended upon the offending mechano-device, his mind preoccupied with his later headgear re-feathering appointment, and the unseemly groinal rash that had turned a worrisome shade of puce over the night..."

Oh good god, where did that come from? I think something's crawled into my head and died again.

Oh, that's fucking perfect.

You should go back in time 107 years and become a terribly dapper, stone-cold pimp.

With a top hat.

I don't suppose I'd do much better in the early 20th century than I am in this one.

I'd agree.

It is also PKU Awareness month (I have PKU) but I'm not going all over the top with it because I still have it the rest of the year too. :P

I'm always split on the "doesn't define me" bit.

And yeah, I have plenty of times to worry about Tourette's. Don't fucking tell me what month I'm allowed to do it in. :)

benchilada May 17 2010, 18:34:57 UTC

Well, honestly, I do let it define part of me. I've never been a fan of the "I have Tourette's but Tourette's doesn't have me."

Horseshit. I have Tourette's and since it controls a lot of my actions and some of my behavior, it has me.

The key is balance. Not letting it rule you but acknowledging that it's a part of who you are.

May is also Asthma, Stroke, PKU, Skin Cancer, and Fungal Infection Awareness Month.

In fact: http://www.whathealth.com/awareness/may.html

WHOA. That is a LOT to be aware of. I'm overwhelmed with awareness. Meh. I have a jaded view of awareness months. Happy for people who have the energy to go all out and plan events but I am too busy just existing.

Yeah, I discovered that it's TS Awareness Month only because I caught sight of a green ribbon on a website and it said TS AWARENESS under it.

My first thought was, I shit you not, "Oh, come on, we do not need our own motherfucking ribbon!"

Angry irony FTW.

fairyarmadillo May 18 2010, 01:05:45 UTC

Why can't they have said it's Motherfucking Dickballs Tourette COCKS Syndrome Cunt-Licking Awareness Month?

No vision!!

(people who are easily offended, I know not everyone with Tourette Syndrome has coprolalia, it's only about 1/3 of people with TS and I know our lovely benjamin doesn't have it, but I bet this will make him laugh.)

benchilada May 18 2010, 02:53:25 UTC

Baby, anybody who don't know that I think shit like that is funny by now, well, they oughta shuffle off to Buffalo.

Also, using that expression makes me sound terrifyingly old. Like, grandpappy old.
