I was stiff like wood.

I had to lol at this. Yes, I am juvenile.

The drugs, they do nothing!

Any drug that would help nerves would probably also take away drive. "What a beautiful day it is! Should I run for that ball? Nah, it's only a silly sport, no use exerting myself."

I think that may be a Corswandt nickname that never caught on at TF, so now he's trying it here.

From an intentionally misspelt thread title in TF in January; a Sharapova fan (Vartan IIRC) started that meme after Maria's stinkers in Auckland. There's plenty of people at TF using it now.

Thanks ofr explanation!
But do you know why Martha? What the thought process was to intentionally use Martha? Is there some other Martha i don't know?

Dunno. Guess is that it's because it's a bit of an old lady name, and sounds sort of funny.

Thanks again!

Ironically Maria is also kinda old lady's name, we call all Marias Masha while they young. And when they're older they turn into Maria

We also use Maria when we use farther's name for official call - Maria Yuryevna.
Yeah, random piece of info.

In my b00tifull kawntree, my guess is that 80% of women over 40 are named "Maria [something]". Maria do Rosário, Maria dos Anjos, Maria do Amparo, etc.
