syd barrett

probably the most neglected pink floyd guy besides nick mason (the drummer who doesn't write many songs on the albums i have).

syd helped start pink floyd. he was a brilliant guitarist and was very experimental about many things - playing techniques, lighting, effect pedals, and, unfortunately, drugs.

syd had a mental disability (schizophrenia?) and acid only made things worse. by the time he was released from the band, he was not able to interact with the group anymore. for example, he wouldn't sing the same words or play the same riff more than once.

syd was gradually replaced by david gilmour (around the 1968 album "ummagumma"). he has been recently diagnosed as diabetic, but otherwise he is doing fine, having a bonfire now and then in the garden, and painting from time to time.
shine on you crazy diamond is a 9-part song dedicated to the rock legacy of syd barrett

IBM

ibm is an acronym for "international business machines." it is a widely known computer company.

ibm started quite a while ago - we could probably safely assume around the time of ENIAC, or earlier. they created a standard in computers (i.e., an ibm-compatible machine) and are still around.

despite ibm's age, they never broke up like ma bell.

Commodore

commodore was in canada? i swear it was british considering all the games made for it.

pms

acronym for pre-menstrual syndrome. characterized by extreme anger and aggressiveness.

many girls like to use this as an excuse to be an asshole. i mean, come on, i dont have to see used pads or tampons to know that a girl physically cannot menstruate most every day.
while i understand that girls could be feeling shitty about menstrual cramps, and i understand that pms is a real thing, i think only a fucked up whore uses pms as an excuse for bitching.

ocd

obsessive compulsive disorder

ocd, as the name implies, causes obsessive thought processes (i.e., when most ppl would have given up on a girl after she said no, i - having ocd - might still think about her a lot).

it also, as the name implies, causes compulsive actions (i.e., my mum gets a cold, so before i feel comfortable again, i have to wash my hands several times)

ocd is a bitch to have, man. if you don't know anyone with ocd but want to know what its like, watch monk. good show cos i can relate
a series of drugs can be used to treat ocd.

the only family of drugs i know to treat it are the ssri's (seritonin re-uptake inhibitors, or something). zoloft, for example.
