What Stressed Out Meg White?

As mentioned, there were toilet and Arcade fires at this weekend's Austin City Limits, but nary a White Stripe (unless you count all the coke backstage -- just kidding, Indigo Girls!). We're saddened by Meg's acute anxiety (which caused she and Jack to nix their fall tour) and wouldn't want to poke fun, but the folks over at New York Magazine posted "Ten Things That Probably Stressed Out Meg White," and some are pretty funny, especially no. 4: "Exhausted from constantly having to talk Jack out of regrowing his mustache." There are a couple duds in there though, so maybe you can fill it out some.

"Could be a crack head dat got a hold of dah wrong stuff!"

Seriously though just got back from ACL and had a great time but missed their presence...only crazy rockers taking their spot were QotSA, Muse, and surprisingly, Yo la Tengo

10. The constant jiggling of breasts from the first leg of the tour created a chemical imbalance.
9. A UCLA research study proves Jacks incessant talking has been proved to create acute anxiety.
8. The constant understanding that Brian Muldoon would've made a better drummer.
7. It's stressful having an ex-husband who stole your name and used it to form a new family.
6. Pressure from having mono-syllabic first and last names.
5. The realization that you and Kelly Clarkson are the last undiagnosed females in mainstream music.
4. Underlying jealousy issues related to the Raconteurs.
3. Amphetimine addiction from a brief modeling stint.
2. She wanted to put the "cute" in acute anxiety disorder.
1. Improvational set lists wreak havoc on the central nervous system.

As someone who thoroughly loves and adores everything about Meg White, I feel that I must get the following joke out of the way before someone much crueler decides to use it for nefarious purposes:

Maybe Jack tried to make her learn a second drum beat.

I love you, Meg. Sorry. Take care of those boobies. *huggles* *kills self*

"7. It's stressful having an ex-husband who stole your name and used it to form a new family."

- Wow that is ice. But frankly, a little thought provoking. If only in general.

Wub to Meg.

I think the biggest reason was that she had an anxiety attack is that she didn't have my penis inside her vagina

1. Having to spend day after day with Jack White
2. Having to play the same simple drum beat over and over while Jack White is going off guitar soloing and spraying spit in her face.
3. She probably had to spend time with Jack's newborn babies who are probably just as annoying as him.
4.They have her last name.

Jesus. I'm suprised it wasn't suicide.

Elwood, Yeah I guessed that too. I mean you're ex-husband just had a second kid with a MODEL and the kid has your name. And they got married in a gd cannoe for gods sake.
