I don't think so.

That song isn't a Scottish thing. I remember singing it with the neighbor girl when I was little.

Wasn't that a lamprey?

That's an incredible story, Ned!! I ate an EXTREMELY "bleu" (rare) cote-du-boef in France this summer... should I up my premium for my life insurance?

You must do what is RIGHT, my dear Mr. Hand!

But I - I - THE WORMS CONTROL ME, NED!

The car accident thing is weird, though, right? I can buy the argument that the VURMS evolved in such a way as to make rats WANT to get eaten by cats in order to complete their parasitic cycle (I mean it sounds a bit Star-Trek but what the hell), but why would they make humans want to get hit by cars?

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 4 December 2003 01:21 (twenty-one years ago)

The "nobody likes me, everybody hates me, I'm gonna go eat worms" is great, I still use that! We didn't fake Scots accents or anything.

Some may have developed an extraordinary power to manipulate behaviour.
...

For years scientists thought it had no effect on our behaviour, but now the parasite's changing their minds.

mwahahahah. they made a funny.

There's a version of the "nobody likes me, everybody hates me, I think I'll go and eat worms" song on the end of "If I Should Fall From Grace with God" by the Pogues.

Long, thin, slimey ones slip down smoothly
Short fat hairy ones stick

― Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 4 December 2003 11:45 (twenty-one years ago)

The Boys did this, got played by John Peel a lot at the time..

Nobody likes me
Everybody hates me
Just because I eat worms

Short fat hairy ones
Long tall skinny ones
See how the little ones squirm

Bite all their heads off
Suck all the juice out
Throw the empty skins away

Nobody Likes me
Everybody hates me
Cos I eat worms all day

Nobody likes us
Everybody hates us
Just because we eat worms

Short fat hairy ones
Long tall skinny ones
See how the little ones squirm

Bite all their heads off
Suck all the juice out
Throw the empty skins away

Nobody Likes us
Everybody hates us
Cos we eat worms all day

She's testing the remarkable theory that not all parasites are necessarily bad for us. Some of them may actually help us fight diseases.

She's missed seeing those late night Save The Children infomercials where the African kids weren't ingesting worms for fun.

Where's my industrial-size bottle of Listerine?

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Thursday, 4 December 2003 23:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Drinking Listerine might be slightly more toxic than loading up on ringworms.
