I Got Worms In Me!

I was bored at my grandmother's house and watched that show on TLC where they reinact freaky occurances that happened in the ER in real life.

Anyway, there was a crazy woman who reminded me uncannily of Lucy from Sweeney Todd, and she had made these deep pouches out of skin in her arms and legs and kept worms inside them and named them, things like Julio and Kenneth. She kept saying over and over again, "I got worms in me!" She insisted they put each worm in a separate container of dirt and when they tried to wheel her away, she started yelling, "No! Nooooo! I want my worms!"

It was really pretty disturbing... for some reason, it stood out a lot more than the super bloody and graphic ones, and it made my little sister cry a lot.

Here's some clips from the show-- I wish I could find better ones, because these two clips are two of the saner bits of the show and in terrible film quality

Anyone else seen this?

That's what happens when "nobody likes you, everybody hates you..."

No, no, no, that's when I go eat worms, not keep them in crumbly blackened infected skin pouches in my arm and thigh.

I'm eating so I don't think I'll watch those clips....LOL

Hahaha, I was eating when I watched the show. Don't think I'll be eating macaroni and cheese again anytime soon... a few minutes into the show, and my lunch started bearing an uncomfortable resemblance to worrrrms.

But the clips ARE reinactments, so it's not the real loony lady. It's an actress with perfect teeth and eyebrows.

LOL!

Hey Schmerg.....I got an e-mail from Coach Gibson out of the blue a few days after our PM's......did you talk to him or was that totally random?

Dude! No, I didn't! I completely forgot about that!

Unless, like, I did in my sleep, which I honestly wouldn't put past me.

Why is it that threads of this nature fill me with disdain?

[Schmerg_The_Impaler]

Posted: 11/30/08 at 8:43pm

Because it's a random, slightly gruesome post about a stupid reality show on a cheesy channel that offers no insight or anything remotely thought-provoking?

Now I can understand why you sat there and watched it. Ever think of reading a book?

Oh Dolly -- I wish I could be there to console you right now

Well, this was actually the first time I watched TV since the whole election coverage shindig, but I appreciate your concern.

My heart fills with the milk of human kindness before it curdles.

Well, at least it ain't worms...

[Dollypop]

There are many uses for curdles milk.

Schmerg, that is so weird that we just talked about him, and then he e-mailed me out of the blue. *cue twilight zone music*

Schmergy, this title scared me!

I remember that show. I about died when they started pulling them out of her and she started naming them all. That is an interesting show.

The part that freaked me out the most was when she pulled up her skirt to show off the holes in her leg. Because... it reminded me SO much of when the Beggar Woman pulled up her skirt in the "Barber and His Wife/Alms, Alms" sequence in Sweeney Todd, the version with George Hearn and Angela Lansbury. Because she was already reminding me so much of the Beggar Woman anyway.

One of my neighbors told us she had worms in her intestine and she lost a ton of weight...lucky biatch!

Ha. My friend's directing a one-act play called "Employees Must Wash Hands... Before Murder" that features a character named Squirmy the Musical Tapeworm.

He sings things like:

"I'm Squirmy the musical tapeworm
And I've got a story to tell.
When I go in your intestine
Yes, I live in your intestine
Things will turn out swell.
A parasite is just like you and me
Except they live parasitically
Something you eat for you
Is now something for the two
Of you.
And I'm wriggling in there and giggling in there and siphoning off all of the nutrients that were supposed to be going in you!"

(Needless to say, that is the role I am trying out for.)

That part sounds perfect for you Schmergie! I wish you luck!

[Schmerg_The_Impaler]

Posted: 12/2/08 at 6:35pm

Do I detect a back-handed compliment?

"Oh, Schmerg! A deadly parasite! That's the perfect role for you!"

No, no, I'm kidding... but in all seriousness, it is the weirdest play I've ever read. There's a character called "The Fairy of Copyright Infringement" and Michael Jackson's in the play and everything.
