Now tagless for your comfort.

This may seem a bit pendantic but multiple personalities is called Disassociative Identity Disorder. Schizophrenic, even though the name implies a spit, is a split from reality and is characterized by delusions and hallucinations. If Fast Eddie uses sockpuppets, they may be other personalities. But I wouldn't chalk it up to a pathology but rather General Douchebaggery, which, unfortunately, isn't in the DSM IV.

Sorry, it's my issue--dealing with schizophrenia makes me techy about the whole split-personality misunderstanding.

Thanks for investigating and asking those questions, P-C. It makes it all sound more fishy but is actually reassuring in all its fishiness.

Yeah, sadly, I got all my DSM (un)knowledge from watching "Sybil". Thanks for the reminder.

It's just my thing, java. You should hear me yell at tv shows that reinforce the stereotype.

Heh. I was about to say, and Cash stepped in. I know you've got the up close and personal, I've just got the "worked on it for work". :)

Oh, no, you're completely right. "Schizo" has become a shortcut term for lots of things it isn't.

Michael Bublé needs to be buried in the bowels of BC Place.

Also? If you're gonna give me a celebrity dressed as a Mountie, could it please be Paul Gross and not damned Bublé.

What's cracking me up is all of the shots of athletes in shorts and flip flops, while others are wearing knee-length down coats. What's the temp?

Holy crap, what was I doing in January 2007?! I knew NOTHING of any of that?!

Hmm. Teaching high school English, probably my Internet was down. Bizarre.

Y'all know I am for realz. Hee.
