My Thesis on Tylenol PM

I want all of you to know that I consider you competition. That being said, I have no problem stealing your material, ideas or whatever I read on your blogs, just so long as I get credit for it. But let’s not look on it as stealing; let’s view it as borrowing. Since I am borrowing that implies it will be returned, and yes, I will return it. With love and squalor.

Over at Swirly Girl, she’s all meshugenah you know, and what the hell is meshugenah anyway, and can a woman be meshugenah? But over at her site, in one of her recent posts she was talking about being sick and wondering if you can become addicted to Tylenol PM. In her comments section I said yes, I do believe you can become addicted to Tylenol PM. Here is my reasoning; it is by no means scientific but it belongs to me and therefore it must be trusted.

Every damn time I see the Tylenol PM in the medicine cabinet I want to take one of those pretty, white and blue Geltabs. It’s only a flicker of a thought, faster than the whip of a dick, but the thought is always there, tempting me. The Tylenol PM, not the dick. I see that little Tylenol PM bottle and I want to drop one down my throat. The Tylenol PM, not the dick. But, alas, I do not. In fact, it is rare I take those things. I have to be really, really, really, really sick to put one of those little fuckers in my mouth, and then I don’t even get the chance to enjoy it because I’m all sick and shit. And that my friends is why I believe that Tylenol PM should be free to anyone and everyone who wants one. They should be given out like candy.

Also, currently, I am getting over a cold and I think the damn fool thing is finally in it's death throes. I have been throwing at it mass quantities of over-the-counter meds. You know the kind, the kind that help sniffling, sneezing, anything so you can breath medicine. BUT! I have shied away from the drowsy, sleepy kind, the kind I really like, and instead have opted for the daytime version of these drugs. The boring kind, because I know myself. Once I have a shot of Nyquil I’ll want another, and then another, and then another. You know, it has 25% alcohol in it. Woo-hoo! So, once again, I have to be in a fairly dire condition to take the stuff.

Glad you cleared up the whole dick thing.

Why waste money on drugs you won't use? Empty the medicine cabinet and stock it with liquor.

Lol. I can see it.

The addiction, not the dick.

I limit my med intake too. I'm too broke to be developing a habit. Wont look to good in the headlines for a mother to be ripping off convenience stores, plowing through security guards with a arm full of Excedrine.

I love your post! Super witty and fun to read. I enjoy it so much, but can't quite put my finger on why exactly. Is it possible I am ALMOST smart enough to get the underlying meaning, wit, and cynicism? Maybe if I keep reading I'll get a bit smarter.
:^)

I did wind up taking the PM on day two of my insomnia ..and finally got to sleep.

Now I guess I'll have to go back to just shooting heroin.

Hope you are feeling better! I don't know anything about Tylenol PM but Nyquil ROCKS!! No, I'm not addicted but if/when I have a cold, it's my drug of choice!!

Well, I am glad the you know your limits. I once heard of a girl that took those blue pills everynight - she had a serious problem. Stay away from the pills - the dick too,unless of course it is your own, then have at it!

Hey, Thanks for stopping by my place. and, to answer your BRILLIANT question, they are Chocolate Chip (or I guess Chocolate Chunk). They are some big mo-fo's. I will share the recipe if you're in the baking mood.

And OH MY GOD the word verification is EXTENS
I am not shitting you. What's the likelihood of that?
