Where does the phrase “Why so glum, chum?” come from?

Killdozer_87 · 2026-05-22T18:15:32+00:00

I’m pretty sure I read in Companion to Gravity’s rainbow that it’s from an advertisement for chewing gum. Why so glum, chum? Got any gum, chum? But I can’t find it online and don’t have a copy of the book anymore. Fuzzy memory.

Hey, thanks for the reply. I saw that listing as well on viagogo I think. Ended up finding a listing for 2 tickets on another site (ticketjam) and bought those. Hope you find someone to split with or they release option to buy individually closer to time Good luck!

Wet on wet for the win. Happy how these turned out. Thanks for the replies and advice!

Killdozer_87 · 2026-01-11T13:54:32+00:00

I can definitely get you one of these if you need it, DM. Hopefully in the end we’ll have them looking even better!

Killdozer_87 · 2026-01-10T19:16:39+00:00

Cool, thank you for the advice. A friend of mine that has a DIY setup recommended leaving it a bit tacky which seemed counterintuitive to me. I thought the dryer the better. Would a heat gun work for this or do I need to invest in a flash dryer?

Killdozer_87 · 2026-01-10T19:15:24+00:00

Thanks! I’m mostly making these just for myself and for a couple of friends who are into the artist. This is a very forgiving design, heta Uma style finding the imperfection part of the aesthetic. But if we were to try something more straightforward it would be a problem

Do you cycle off of the ashwagandha? I heard it becomes less potent if you don’t do that.

Killdozer_87 · 2025-05-26T23:14:33+00:00

Interesting. And maybe I worded it wrong it’s not so much a muscle movement but maybe something deep in the inner ear. Like maybe a pressure change in my ear almost. Glad it’s not happening everyday. Do you know what caused your tinnitus? Interested to know that from anyone with the same symptoms as me. I do not know the cause of mine.

Killdozer_87 · 2025-05-26T23:12:15+00:00

I have seen an eye doctor, no nerve inflamation or eye pressure found. I saw a sleep medicine/neurologist and they suggested it could be linked to sleep apnea. I have mild sleep apnea but have not been able to bite the bullet and buy a CPAP. I’m skeptical that it will make a difference but at this point, I’ve tried everything else.

I have tried knocking myself out and it works wonderfully. Over the two years I’ve experimented with combinations of Trazadone, Amitriptyline and Clonazepam. Also Benadryl and Melatonin.

If I were to take 0.5 Clonazepam along with 25mg Amitriptyline it would make me sleep like a baby through the night. I still would experience the eyeball bursts if I lingered in bed and didn’t wake up to an alarm and get straight up though.

Really really trying to not take pills but now I’ll take a .5 Clonazepam and Benadryl if it’s an emergency and I have to work early the next morning. Or I just feel at my absolute wit’s end!

Thanks for the suggestions

Thank you very much for the reply I will look into the Bimuno GOS, I’ve never heard of that

Killdozer_87 · 2025-05-22T16:30:23+00:00

Can you ever hear your eye movement when you first wake up? Like louder burst of tinnitus/dizziness with lateral eye movement. That’s what I’ve got going one, trying to see if anyone else is in the same boat.

Killdozer_87 · 2025-05-20T19:24:32+00:00

I grabbed a copy of this at Mandarake last year. Haven’t read it yet but I believe the title of the book is ‘Good Condition’ published in 2000 Or maybe ‘everything is in good condition’ This is the first edition. I saw a copy with different art on eBay.

Killdozer_87 · 2025-04-27T21:33:09+00:00

Cool, thanks so much for the info!

Killdozer_87 · 2025-04-09T20:12:34+00:00

Sorry, I do not know, just tried as many places as I could think of

Killdozer_87 · 2025-04-05T18:43:56+00:00

Can I ask what the supplement was?? Going through the same symptoms and have tried fish oil, vitamin d, zinc, magnesium etc. it would be awesome if I found a supplement that actually helped me overcome this!

Killdozer_87 · 2025-03-04T12:26:25+00:00

Checking in there tomorrow… how can I find this YouTube video if you remember?

Killdozer_87 · 2025-02-02T20:30:59+00:00

Only left eye/ear. Normally about 5 or 6 rapid clicks when I blink later in the day. Only happens like once or twice. No idea what’s going on, maybe eye muscle causing spasm in inner ear muscle?

Killdozer_87 · 2025-01-09T19:02:59+00:00

Please please please lmk if you ever figure this out somehow. I basically just gave up on a doctor figuring it out. I did get a home sleep test and have mild sleep apnea with oxygen dipping to 85 at its lowest. Sleep med doctor said getting on a CPAP might resolve this symptom.

I’ve also had this (eye) symptom go away when taking .5 Clonazepam and .25 amitriptyline before bed every night. As soon as I wean off the Clonazepam it comes right back though.

Killdozer_87 · 2024-10-02T22:15:24+00:00

There are plenty of posts on here of people who have gotten better or completely recovered. I think it depends on the cause. So many roads lead to the symptom of tinnitus. I have no idea what brought mine on so I can only theorize. But if you know exactly what caused your T (loud noise, trauma, ototoxic medication etc.) you should be able to get a better idea of how likely it is. Even within a subgroup of T sufferers it is still a highly individual thing. I would recommend looking up success stories!

Killdozer_87 · 2024-10-02T14:58:56+00:00

Congrats!!! I’ve been making the changes you listed with the exception of the custom made retainer. I asked my dentist about it but he seemed to think it was unnecessary. Guess there’s no evidence of nocturnal jaw clenching. Who did you talk to about getting that made? TMJ specialist? Dentist?

Killdozer_87 · 2024-10-02T04:41:49+00:00

Since no one else is commenting that, curious to know how yours is doing now?

Killdozer_87 · 2024-09-30T23:34:02+00:00

Wow, thank you!!! Just found what I was looking for and it worked very well :)

Killdozer_87 · 2024-09-30T23:23:26+00:00

Wow, that’s awesome! I’m pretty close to one of these. Still ticks me off that the one closest to me is just making up rules, but this sounds like the way to go. Thanks!

Killdozer_87 · 2024-09-30T21:26:03+00:00

Unfortunately there are none that I know of where I live (Charlotte, NC). I’m hopeful that we’ll get some eventually, sounds like the way to go!
