Thanks, but as Spock would say, "The usage is correct!" In my tribe there was a period where we did primitive bread making. Well water, hand ground grains and a brick oven. One of the batches resulted in egotism. After eating the rye bread several of us experienced mild visual hallucinations and a mental state of confusion and disrupted actions. Sadly, we were unable to duplicate the effect. Hence the phrase "Things went a rye."
It would be inappropriate for me to explain how the phrase French dry-cleaning came into use.

You left out the part where a bunch of folks were accused of being witches and executed.

But, a quick '73 Playin' later, it was back to business as usual.

Ergot (/ ˈ ɜːr ɡ ə t / UR-gət) or ergot fungi refers to a group of fungi of the genus Claviceps.. The most prominent member of this group is Claviceps purpurea ("rye ergot fungus"). This fungus grows on rye

you wrote 'egotism'
close ...skirting the edge of the humorously ironic?
a rye comment?
or a misspell ?

Darn spell checker here on the Archive! The machine one this round with its changing ergotism to egotism. (I see you, red squigly lines>)
But the only attempted humor was the white album musical reference. Everything else was Dead Serious.

Headicus Deadicus, more commonly referred to as the common Dead Head, most commonly identified by an unwavering commitment to minute detail and taking extreme joy in debating said detail.

Well played.

Yeah, actually has been the traces of a pulse around here recently. Even got to throw in a "backdoor" pun.

Well, that's a bit of ostrich. Keep this up and people will start thinking you're stark raven mad. If they don't already.

I'm fighting the urge to work "woodpecker" in here, but that would just be reinforcing the stereotype.

The pulse is getting stronger! All we need now is a heart felt "Blow Me" and we're in business.
