When in real life somebody says, "I think I can."
and you respond by saying.

"I think I can.
If I don't screw myself up, again!"

And then spend 14 uncomfortable second trying to explain yourself and brush it off.

.......and then come back here and tell us about it.

Because you know we'll understand.
Because we understand that that sentence is completely and inextricably linked to the TWAT Thread.

OK, first-things-first, take a deep breath . . . keep your cool! What I mean is, don't get flustered. If you do, you end up saying some very stupid things.Take a breath... smile... and just don't argue... because, here, you'll always lose.

You need to contact the Global Spastic Centre, it has worked to ensure that people with RC Intermission Forum Dependancy, their families and careers, are provided with the necessary services to combat their Dependancy on this Forum. The services that the Spastic centre provides are needed more and more every day. RC Dependancy  cannot be detected prior to birth and the incidence of severe dependancy is on the increase.

The government, as yet, has no knowledge of this rapidly increasing Social Internet Perk, as evidenced by your setting this Forum as your Home Page.

For example, consider the following:

If your response to the question: “If you could live forever, would you and why?”

Is: "I would not live forever because we should not live forever, because, if we were supposed to live forever, then we would live forever, but we can not live forever, which is why I would not live forever. And I really don't like to play with guns; it's just teaches me to be violent. They tell me real guns hurt people, and I have always thought that hurting people is okay."

What you're really saying here is that you can't tell the difference between reality and fantasy, that your imagination scares you, and that instead of telling yourself that your fantasies are harmless and under your control, you're telling yourself that your fantasies are able to overpower and destroy your rational thought. Is that really what you want to tell yourself?

Did you realize that indictes that you are Bipolar?

An issue of Time magazine features a massive story on this disease. Included in the article is a list of 40-odd symptoms, mainly diagnosable in Internet Dependant Individuals, it can help in the indication of your lifetime propencity of the use of drugs, therapy, hospitalization, the google eyed, snore-on-the-job, whine-in-the-therapy-room lifestyle, otherwise known as RC Dependancy .

Proof of your condition may include:

As a child, did your mind ever wander occasionally into realms more pleasant than your current reality, as your dowdy science teacher in weird glasses, drearily lectured the class about rain cycles? If so, then you are a carrier of the classic bipolar symptom number 11, labeled as: "Is unable to concentrate at school."

Not you? Well, lets carry on with the evaluation.

Have you ever BS-ed drunkenly with a crew of pals? Ever behaved stupidly together just for the hell of it? If so, then you are a victim of symptom number 20: "Has elated or silly, giddy mood states". Do not try to rebut this scientific pronouncement; it is simply your illness foisting a state of denial on you.

Next question: Have you ever pursued a dream and refused to give up? If so, you are ill, and to prevent further outbreaks, you must avoid unhealthy, destructive RC Dependancy situations. ie; You should reset your Home page IMMEDIATELY to YANNI.COM. If you don’t, it will only goad this destructive tendency, which is listed as follows: "Relentlessly pursues own needs." If over 60% of things you do each day are to satisfy your own needs, consider yourself in an acute RC Dependancy state. This is well above the psychiatric limit on self-obsession.

Though it is my educated belief that you are still marginally eligible for treatment, in accordance with established psychiatric procedure, a minimum requirement for your care is for your own self-awareness of your condition, so . . . let us carry on with your evaluation.

Have you ever expressed an angry emotion, made an inappropriate gesture, or honked your horn during a traffic jam? If so, then that is sad news for your mental state. Symptom number 27 describes you as "intolerant of delays." Another Bipolar symptom!

Have you ever expressed outrage over a law or tax increase? If yes, then consider yourself an even worse case. If this outrage manifests itself in the form of angry oaths or impolite word usage, then I’m sorry to report that you may just be a “Lost Cause”, as this is a bright red flag of an unhealthy and malfunctioning mind. Stated as symptom number 36: "Curses viscously in anger".

Have you ever torn up a piece of paper and thrown it in the garbage? Or worse, have you ever done such a thing to a piece of rotten bread, even one so moldy that it resembled a piece of underwater fungi? If so, then you must clearly be bipolar, and of the unnecessarily volatile variety! “You should acknowledge every pedantic geezer in the mental health world as your superior since you have destroyed property intentionally." Grave news indeed.

The seriousness of your apparent symptoms is severe enough to warrant no further inquiry as to wether or not you are bipolar.

Please see your doctor for treatment.


Remember, do not go off your meds even for such trivial reasons as sleeping on the job, so as to get your rash-spotted ass fired for it and go on unemployment, gaining hundreds of pounds or loss of your recollection of the alphabet. In fact, even major reasons, which I will not describe lest it provoke denial, are not reasons for you to neglect your medicational needs.

To promote your Mental Health, submit a full copy of your clearest recollections, updated to the latest patterns of swearing and sexual fantasies, to this Forum in your very next Post ASAP.

Remember, America is a progressive country, our government will soon expand until it will arrange to provide your meds, therapy, and hospital visits for you! Rejoice! Justice for Bipolar persons!

A warning though, the Government may welll require all RC Dependat people to wear signs that say RC Dependant on their foreheads. That way people would know they're debilitated and not ask them anything. "Excuse me, uh... oh nevermind. I didn't see your sign."

However, there will always be someone inferior to your particular state of mind, ie: you may find yourself out fishing with a buddy and when you get back to the dock, you may pull a big stringer of bass up out of the boat. And some guy standing on the dock might say, " Y'all catch all them fish?" Which leaves the door wide open for you to reply, "Nope! Talked 'em into giving up. Here, I got a ‘I’m Dumber than an RC Dependant’ sign for you."

Sweeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!!

You keep coming back even though your fantasy (without some introspection and diligent reading of recent Posts) seems to have become a nightmare.
