Brown Resistance Squadron
DIAGNOSIS: Avoidant Personality Disorder
CASE HISTORY: Try to keep up, Dantari-toucher. After a few decades, The Empire rebranded, called themselves The First Order, decided to put their previous Death Stars under a magnifying glass, and now they have a planet that shoots light or some shit. Because everyone deserves a fresh coat of paint, The Rebellion is now The Resistance and they’re not going to put up with this, which is irrelevant, because the Brown Resistance Squadron is about as useful as a Hutt in a Dagobah pole vaulting contest.

Alec Guinness
DIAGNOSIS: Antisocial Personality Disorder
CASE HISTORY: Alec Guinness spent years in the theater, learning the finer points of elocution, diction, speech, character-interpretation, fencing, movement, and projection only to squander it all on some space opera nobody saw. Start Wars, or something. I don’t know, it’s a shame.

DIAGNOSIS: Antisocial Personality Disorder

Membership standards are at an all-time low, so if you’re looking for a fun yet fruitless way to spend a few hours per week trying to end the lives of nearly invincible demigods dedicated to truth and justice with a near certainty of serious personal injury or even death, then The Legion of Doom might just be the ill-managed organization for you!

Reverend Parsimony
DIAGNOSIS: Paranoid Personality Disorder
CASE HISTORY: Each Sunday, Reverend Parsimony wakes up with the dawn, runs a cold comb through his rich, cloud-white hair, and marches down to the local parish to proselytize to a handful of absolute sinners. Wherever he goes, he warns townsfolk of the dangers of perdition with an awkward turn of phrase and a slight stutter. His fear-based old testament preaching style is the basis of his many self-published religious pamphlets including God Sword, A Guide To Hell’s Hot Wallpapers, and Say Your Prayers and Pray your Stairs.

Listening To Looks At Books
DIAGNOSIS: Narcissistic Personality Disorder
CASE HISTORY: In 1989, Robert Crouj¢∞¶ᵃ∏ and a small group of friends started a book club which blossomed into the widely lauded National Public Radio program Listening To Looks At Books.

The Gorsock Murder Tour
DIAGNOSIS: Schizotypal Personality Disorder
CASE HISTORY: In 1973, a mysterious, gruesome, and still unsolved murder occurred in the mansion of Harley Gorsock, noted philanthropist and alleged inventor of the bicycle tire. Then again, in 1976, 1979, 1980, 1983, 1984, 1989, 1990-1996, 1997, 2000, 2002 and probably in 2005, more mysterious, gruesome, and still unsolved murders occurred. The Gorsock Mansion, now inhabited by Miss Ursula Mädchen, has attracted unwanted notoriety as the top American tourist destination for people who would like to see a place where countless mysterious, gruesome, and still unsolved murders have occurred. The tours are not sanctioned by the city or state, nor are they allowed by law, as local and federal police are still searching for evidence. Closed Mondays.

The Jagged Stone Forest Rangers
DIAGNOSIS: Dependent Personality Disorder
CASE HISTORY: The friendly forest rangers at Jagged Stone National Park are not friendly. They are barely forest rangers. Their training is minimal and their contact with other human beings is purposefully limited. If you are hoping that they’ll lead you to that path where you can hike up to Victory-Slice Point to watch the sunset, you might as well buy a nice picture postcard in the gift shop, send it to yourself COD, and hop back in your Nissan Fuckyou, greenhorn.

Watch your back, fresh meat. There’s a sharpened toothbrush handle with your name on it. Literally. Caligraphy-Dan does them for a hobby. But still, snitches get stitches, moochers get sutures, and chiselers get Twizzlers (in exchange for cigarettes).
