After the New Years Phish run, I woke up shivering in a cold sweat from a nightmarish bout of PPTSD - when would I see my band again? When would I reunite with my traveling circus of strange and stranger friends? When would my face yet again be melted by a Type II Stash or an elaborate, phallic NYE stunt?
PPTSD is an acronym for Pinkie Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It can occur when someone's pinkie finger has experienced extreme suffering and pain caused by an abuser. PPTSD symptoms include violent shaking of the finger, spontaneous spasms, turning neon green, extreme swearing, and sometimes death. It will usally get triggered when the abuser comes in close proximity to the pinkie finger.
Guy 1: Hey is your pinkie ok? It's bright green dude?
Guy 2: Oh well you see that girl over there?
Guy 1: Yeah why?
Guy 2: Well, I have PPTSD because that girl stapled my pinkie to a chair
Guy 1: Oh shit dude, that sucks
Any period of time where you and your friends go out without initial purpose or expectations. Usually in the early hours of the morning or late at night, side quests last as long as everyone is still out away from their home, dorm, or common meeting space. Side quests usually happen after a "main quest," scheduled hang out or party and usually feature less people than the original main quest.
"I'm bored but idk what to do... wanna just go out?"
"Hell yeah man let's go on a sidequest!"
A group of people that rolls 600 pounds deep, which is really no different than if one person acted like the 600 pound gorilla all by themself, it's just bullying spread around a group to fuck with somebody. Just like each person has an asshole, and to some degree is an asshole, a collective 600 pound gorilla has a collective asshole so that no one person has to take responsibility for being the asshole or the one who said this or that.
The collective 600pound gorilla was punching its chest, showing who the alphas were.
