The Count's Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

It started with a simple affection for counting and the terror it induced in others, didn't it? But now it's turned into a full-blown life-consuming chaotic nightmare of order, repetition, zealousness, and perfectionism. You used to be so grand, but now you find yourself obsessively worrying over the littlest things--like, maybe if you don't check the light switch at least once every two minutes, the electricity will go out (and damnit, you're a vampire--that shouldn't be a problem!), or maybe if you don't wash your hands until your seams are coming out, you'll get some fatal disease. Get yourself some treatment.

"Don't Worry, Mom -- It's Just a Phase"

Bob Levey in the 'Post asked his readers to submit the silliest t-shirt phrases they've seen, and compiled the best of the best into 2 days worth of his column this week. My Favs:

"Annapolis -- A Drinking Town with a Sailing Problem"

"Upon the Advice of My Attorney, My Shirt Bears No Message at This Time"

"Take My Advice -- I'm Not Using It"

"I Started With Nothing and I Have Most of It Left"

"I Invested All My Money in Enron and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt"

"Don't Assume I Fix Things"

"I Was God's Gift to Women, But I Have Been Rewrapped and Placed on a Closet Shelf"

"I Took the Road Less Traveled, and Now Where the Heck Am I?"

"Heck Is Where People Go Who Don't Believe in Gosh"

"You Spend the First Two Years of Their Lives Teaching Them to Walk and Talk -- and the Next 16 Telling Them to Sit Down and Shut Up"

"The Secret to Life: Breathe In. Breathe Out. Repeat"

For when the 'Post locks those up after 2 weeks or a month or whatever, I have a mirror stored up I'll replace here.
