So far I win (sorry, but the 5 month period was not from a doper so it’s disqualified). When I first got on birth control pills again last spring I had a period for over 2 months. Then I went back and they put me on a different pill and that sorted it out.

My 11 day period was my longest “natural” period… I also had a 17 day period when I miscarried…

In that vein, check out the new ChromaKey album. _Graveyard Mountain Home_, which is synched to and partly sampled from an old how-to-deal-with-the-anger-when-mom-dies-and-leaves-you-with-evil-stepdad film. The “special edition” includes DVD. It’s creepy, and oddly moving. Particularly with the lights out.

I’ll pass, thanks. The name of the album freaked me out enough.

Heh! Didn’t even notice. Funny.

It is a great album, though. Bandleader is an American, but he’s backed up by a Turkish band. It’s very, very cool.
