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
