Every time there’s a quadratic equation to be solved, I’m compelled to put my thinking cap on. And my thinking glasses. And my thinking moustache. And my thinking codpiece. It’s a whole thing, and I have to do it each and every time something crops up that’s even vaguely taxing on the old grey matter.
Now, you could say, “What’s the big deal? I whip my knickers on and off every day without so much as a howdy-do, and no one considers that the Labours of Hercules, do they?” Well, to that I’d say the Labours of Hercules is very much what I’m going through whenever I put on my thinking gear to get a problem sorted! Chronic fatigue syndrome ain’t easy to live with, son, and when you stack that on top of an obsessive-compulsive disorder that compels you to wear what amounts to a costume every time your brain farts…
Anyway, let’s just say it ain’t easy, and leave it at that. Oh, and did I mention that I’m a sentient, grey slime? No? Well, now reread the first part, keeping this new piece of knowledge in your springy, pink brain. A cap, glasses, and a moustache. I’m not even sure where the hell to put the moustache half the time! And the codpiece? The fucking codpiece that jams up my tender loins every time!

I love that a sentient, grey slime has CFS. Not that I wish that on anyone or anything. I’ve been through it, I came out the other side, but while within it I did feel like a sentient grey slime

I have known somebody who had this too, and I agree with you in that I wouldn’t wish it on anybody! I certainly hope it’s something I never go through!

And maybe one day the medical profession will open their eyes to the distress it causes sufferer and family

Yes, there are certainly still some blind spots when it comes to the medical profession’s knowledge on things. I hope this is something that they gain some much-needed insight on (and acceptance of).

Lol over the last line. It takes a lot of b- gall to wear a codpiece. Glad they are not in fashion any more. Thank God for small favours?

Lovely, especially the thinking codpiece. Would that all men had this accoutrement, instead of thinking with their unprotected personal piece of equipment.

Where to start with the love? First, you made me long for polynomials, and that can’t be good. Second, “sentient grey slime?” I’m dying. And a codpiece on a “tender loin?” I crown you king 💖

Michelle, now I must crown you in return! You’ve taught me a most excellent new word in ‘polynomial’! Awesome! 🤘

I agree. I’ll admit, I’ve never been in a situation where I had to solve a quadratic equation (except school/college). Cod pieces are great to eat with chips and mayonnaise, provided they are fresh.

They’re the only kinda cod pieces I like! 😆
