Vicodin-induced fwiw thoughts...

Van · Post by **Van** » Sat Apr 07, 2012 8:02 pm

Almost never take pain meds, but when I do I become a bit effusive. Chatty, even. A bit more overtly observant, as well.

And so...

Seems to me that Mgo has been kicking a fuckton of ass lately. He's sort of taken over—or should I say reassumed—R-Jack's role of the perpetually snarky uber-asshole who just has to rip everything and everyone. Along the way, his timing has been impeccable. Dude seems to be getting better with age.

Screwball, the Robin to Mgo's Batman, seems to have somehow misplaced his own Asshole card. The guy better watch it. He's encroaching upon 'likable' territory. Not sure whether that's a good thing, but I guess it goes with a young lad buying his first nice suit. Oh, sure, he probably has others, but the image of Screwball slicking back his cowlick with a healthy glob of theater jizz before heading into Jos. A. Bank and sidling up to some Brooks Brothers wannabe with a furtive "Mister...could...ummm...wouldja mind helping me pick out a Sunday-go-to-meetin' suit?" is just so damn endearing.

Though Robert Kincaid may have passed, his airy goodness lives on in our earnest young Screwball.

Is it just me, or has Truman been treating every poster of late like they're a plate of lovingly fussed-over spareribs? The guy just keeps digging in and shredding. I'm beginning to gather that Truman rather enjoys the wicked riposte, and he's more than up for a little verbal rogering. I imagine his wife lives a life of quiet terror, just waiting for the big lug to snap.

On the flipside, AP seems to be morphing into a Hieronymus Bosch tableau right before our very eyes. My god.

Two T1B memes that need to be put to rest: smackaholic the unrelenting moron and Diego the child-molester. The former because it's simply not true, punctuation assknuckles and his grating use of 'bidness' and 'gubmint' notwithstanding; the latter because it never engenders a remotely funny post, as well as not being true. Every fucking time Cuda predictably drops in with one of his lame, awkwardly forced Diego jokes I want to bash myself over the head with my keyboard for taking part in a place like this. mvscal is the only one who ever gets off the occasional reasonably funny Diego blast, and even there it'll only be about a 3 on a 1-10 mvscal's funny quips scale.

If people want to pick on Diego, fine, pick on him about his robotically predictable penchant for jumping on any and every opportunity to rip those nasty, evil Republicans. The kiddy-diddling garbage needs to go.

ucant is an underrated poster. He's generally been well regarded, and still he's underrated. He doesn't post often, but it's nearly always of a uniformly high quality. Understated, properly evil and loaded with a full day's supply of rich, gooey sarcasm, his are never throwaway efforts.

Basically a Chowd version of M Club, another somewhat under-the-radar poster of excellent quality. Wish that guy would post more on general topics and not just BTPCF.

bradhusker's handler needs to grow up. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you that you'd create and actually stick with that concept?

Todd needs to drop the creepy internet misfit affectation. We all know he lapses into that character on purpose just to draw a response, but why bother? Why troll in that manner? What's the payoff?

Love him or hate him, this place slows down when mvscal goes on hiatus. His are the most sharply focused, to-the-point rejoinders going, and threads seemingly whip right along whenever he adds his two cents. It doesn't even matter if he ends up being dead wrong. His convictions are so steadfast that you have to take a rooting interest, one way or the other.

Dins vs TVO and Dins vs LTS are two of my favorite pairings to watch spar. They're all so cocksure certain they're dead nuts right while displaying nothing but pure, abject disregard for their opponent. They practically drip with loathing. Makes for some seriously good eating.

For that matter, LTS vs anyone is always worth a gander. People give me shit for bothering to respond to LTS, but I really like the guy. He's basically just mvscal from Planet Chlamydia. Right or wrong, he simply doesn't care. He's plowing forward full steam ahead, and damn the torpedoes. When he's beaten to a pulp and bereft of anything resembling a leg on which to stand, he proudly waves his freak flag high.

He truly seems to enjoy his posts, and I like that about him.

Along those same lines there's Dr. Phibes. I know the guy dislikes me, and it doesn't matter. I still enjoy his above-it-all intellectualist shtick. I also enjoy the way he perniciously straddles the line between unrepentant elitist snob and self-effacing Canucklehead. He's LTS with the dosages properly sorted.

Wags has me a little worried, and I'm not joking. Between his health issues and his drinking I'm worried that he's not a happy guy these days. I don't know what's bothering him, but I sure do get the feeling that something is bothering him.

I saw this video yesterday...

...and immediately thought of him. No insult or condescencion intended, either. I mean it in the best of ways. Just a Simple Man with Simple Values...nothing wrong with that. Nothing at all.

I should try doubling up on Norco.

Jsc, I also have Norco but for whatever reason I seem to get more of a noticeable effect from Vicodin.

Rack any and all drug-induced random thoughts threads.

- Only at T1B is "snarky asshole" complimentary. Thanks for the kind words.
- smackaholic is an unrelenting moron.
- Dinsdale's caricature of himself routine is a tired act these days. Derailing promising threads with three pages of nitpicking over how many spaces after a period. Gradually fell from prime poster to somewhere between scroll wheel wipe out and Ignore Button. Sad.
- Why do some people still put two spaces after a period?

MgoBlue-LightSpecial · Sat Apr 07, 2012 9:02 pm

- Kevin Youkilis needs to be punched in the face many times over. Gawd, he is annoying.

Nah, not for me. Besides, there's no way medical pot is anywhere near as strong as Norco.

Sam, I have no idea how that Diego deal started. I know he denies it, and I've yet to hear how it all began. I just know it's really ugly and people oughtta drop it.

smackaholic · Post by **smackaholic** » Sat Apr 07, 2012 9:09 pm

And then there's Van.

Usually one of the good guys. He's a very well spoken Tom, usually. But something happened this past week. Dude started channeling ucunt in the duke thread.

What's up wif that?

As for diego and the kiddy diddler thing, I don't know where it comes from, nor do I care. It is established board lore. What is more important is that if you go to the pedosmack card, at least try to make it funny.

Pot can turn good music into a religious experience, and your sensitive conscience won't have to suffer, knowing that it's legal. Seriously, crank up some Aristrocrats or Govan - or whatever overproduced wanky shit you're into these days - after a tightly packed bowl, and you will be in heaven, friendo.

Van · Post by **Van** » Sat Apr 07, 2012 9:20 pm

Mgo, you have to admit you've been on the attack quite a bit lately, ripping people new ones willy nilly. R-Jack seems to have slowed down, and you've definitely picked up the snarky asshole cudgels. Pretty much, it's been you and Truman killing people at every turn.

Anyway, what's this about Dins and spaces following periods? I must have missed that one.

Oh, and Eric Byrnes and his Jeff Spicoli-on-crack act needs to simmer the fuck down.

Van · Post by **Van** » Sat Apr 07, 2012 9:33 pm

smackie, all I did in that Duke thread was defend myself. When you started calling me out, I responded in kind.

Mgo, The Aristocrats...overproduced?

See, this is where I struggle with you when it comes to music. You're way too comfortable in being dismissively ignorant. The Aristocrats have about the least amount of post-production you'll ever hear. Nearly the entire album was recorded live in single takes with no overdubs. There are very few extra tracks added and no FX, to a degree nearly unheard of in modern music.

In your mind, however—and your opinion is cast in stone—they're overproduced.

No, they're not. They're just that damn good.

Van · Post by **Van** » Sat Apr 07, 2012 9:40 pm

Todd, the difference is that you've actively promoted this 'dark, disturbed guy' image of yourself while Diego has never had anything to do with that whole pedo nonsense.

you must forgive mgooo. his musical tastes run along the same lines as screwey. he thinks any display of real musical talent is overproduced.

Van · Post by **Van** » Sat Apr 07, 2012 9:48 pm

THC in pot, or the opiates in Vicodin/Norco? In terms of making you loopy aren't they both supposed to do the same thing, only with the opiates being stronger?

His musical taste may be shit, but that is a good bit of advice.

I've never heard of pain killers intensifying the music listening experience. Pot is pretty much renowned for that.

But I guess different people react to drugs in different ways. Vicodin never had any effect on me whatsoever, beyond its intended effect. Other guys, like a certain washed up quarterback, break into houses for the stuff.

Van · Post by **Van** » Sat Apr 07, 2012 9:56 pm

smackie, you didn't merely disagree with it, you called it bullshit. Once you started doing that, on top of being wrong, yeah, I responded in kind.

And to call it Pac 12 homering is just stupid. Facts are facts, and the facts say that UCLA has been there three times over the past six years, something no other program can say. The facts also say that in recent years Indiana hasn't proven they can get over the hump. Beyond all that, I've never rooted for UCLA in anything so to call it homering is clearly a nonstarter.

He's back...

Leaf has been in custody since he was arrested early Monday morning for his second drug-related incident in the past week. Leaf was initially placed on a 72-hour hold by the probation and parole division of the state's Department of Corrections, and that has been extended to a 30-day hold.

Well for one thing, pot isn't addictive. If you can't or don't like smoking it, it is easy enough to make a tincture which also lets you set your dosage with respectable precision. Pops has a scrip and it's generally some pretty good shit.

1. I will never smoke anything. Period.

2. My throat is so trashed that I can barely swallow small sips of water. There is no way in hell I'd subject it to smoke.

I don't like it because it doesn't ease off like alcohol does.

Weed throws me up against the wall and holds me there.

MgoBlue-LightSpecial · Sat Apr 07, 2012 10:37 pm

Smoked quite a bit in my early-to-mid 20s. Rarely buy the stuff anymore, but I will partake if it's being passed around.

No. The dosage is not consistent and it really isn't an economically feasible method of delivery. A 2ml dose of tincture of Indica in a cup of tea or your beverage of choice would do nicely for someone who isn't a regular smoker.

It easy to prepare and what little equipment needed (a glass eyedropper bottle and candy thermometer) are cheap and commonly available.
