Philosophical thought

Is it possible to become addicted to abstinence?

It’s an interesting concept, George, and not completely original. Prepare for a culture shock:

“Sodomy”, a band specializing in Thrash music (before you ask the question; the answer is: I’ve no idea!) recently wrote a song entitled “Addicted to Abstinence”. For your edification I’ve reproduced the lyrics below. If you find them understandable, a translation would be appreciated. No, on second thoughts, don’t bother. I read down to the ‘rancerously cutting’ line, whereupon my Word spell-checker blew up in a cloud of smoke, so I think I’ll just take a hot bath, a couple of aspirin, and go to bed.

"I'm just a prowling maverick
And detriment to health
Cutthroat competition
Desultory to myself
Scary vulgarism
Unfathomable cursed
Perpetuate my memories
Incombustible words

Addicted to abstinence

Protruberant intestines
Exhilerated sight
Notorious dinginess
Coming from behind
I put you to the sword
Gasp your vomit out
You'll never reach the shore
Defigured like a scrag
Scary vulgarism
Unfathomable cursed
Perpetuate my memories
Incombustible words

Addicted to abstinence

Protruberant intestines
Exhilerated sight
Notorious dinginess
Coming from behind
I put you to the sword
Gasp your vomit out
You'll never reach the shore
Defigured like a scrag
Scary vulgarism
Unfathomable cursed
Perpetuate my memories
Incombustible words
Heinous and destructive
Balanced on the edge
Rancerously cutting
He's dangerous and sledge

Addicted to abstinence"

Scary stuff!

So would you need to wean yourself slowly from abstinence or is this one of the few addictions that would be best served by quitting cold turkey? Jumping back on the horse or whatever other animal you prefer to ride?
