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.

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."

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
Score = -1
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.

Oh, and 5. Her fans are annoying and constantly talk about her rack.
