nelsheimers

An unfortunate and incurable medical condition. Symptoms include: very old age, annoying behavior, forgetfullness, nostalgia for yesteryear, crankiness, crustiness, long-winded email writing, and a pot-bellied appearance. But mostly just old, very old, age and the innate ability to effortlessly annoy anyone within earshot. Nelsheimers patients often appear disoriented and just keep asking for "a little black caulk." No one is sure exactly how the disease is transmitted, but the CDC reports a recent north Florida outbreak appears to have been linked to a rusty old pitcher pump.
Ugg, that dude used to be just fine until he was diagnosed with Nelsheimers. What a shame.
