Curing NES with Zoloft
Filed under: Stupidity, General — nobrainer @ 8:11 am

As much as I used to think that the old Nintendo Entertainment System was addictive when I was a kid (I can’t believe I didn’t bring the console to Virginia with me — I was hankering to have a weekend Contra/Tetris/Mario bender), that’s not what NES means anymore. NES is now Night Eating Syndrome. Have no fear though, this “troubling condition” that “plagues” its victims — up to 4.5 million Americans — has shown to be treatable with psychiatric help and an anti-depressant such as Zoloft.

Hopefully this disturbing news won’t set off my intermittent explosive disorder.

Paging Mr. Huxley, Mr. Aldous Huxley…

“O brave new world, that has such people in it.”

Accompanying lyric: I’ve been around the world to find that only stupid people are breeding.

I had night eating disorder for years at Clemson. I couldn’t help but eat late night at Huddle House or Peppino’s. The disorder usually came about on Thursday throuh Saturday nights (but it would sometimes happen on a random other day of the week too).

Since leaving Clemson it has mostly cleared up but it still happens every once in while. I wonder what could have been causing it all.
