Let's put it this way... Poe: absinthe addict, absinthed himself to an early death. Van Gogh: Absinthe addict, led him to think cutting off his ear and sending it to his gf was romantic.

Many, if not most, of the greatest European writers and artists of the last milennia were regular absinthe users.

It was Europe's opium.

shmokes · « **Reply #121 on:** August 26, 2005, 05:50:22 pm »

I read that absent anything like an FDA, bad batches of absinth were quite common and that Van Gogh was more than likely poisoned by a bad batch rather than severely intoxicated when he cut off his ear lobe. Still, funny as hell.

That could easily be true. He could also have been a total jerkwad before he picked up a bottle.

Yeah wierd stories like the Van Gogh one keep me from really checking it out. I also was curious about salvia divinorum. Even though they are both legal right now.

shmokes · « **Reply #124 on:** August 26, 2005, 06:06:56 pm »

Stories like Lorena Bobbit make me hesitant to check any alcohol out.

But, if it's true about it being poisonous from being made in someone's basement in rusty containers (or something like that) then you wouldn't have to worry now, as it has to go through the country's FDA (or whatever other countries call it) before it can hit the market.

i went with roast beef today, which is ALMOST as good as bacon

ChadTower · « **Reply #128 on:** August 29, 2005, 01:35:53 pm »

You should have added bacon. We are disappointed.

Even with the bad back I'm likely stronger, faster, and in better condition than most people here.

We can rebuild him.....we have the technology.......

I've got just the thing. Who wants to be the alien in this scenario, though?

I've had a bottle of jagr in my freezer for years. That stuff is nasty. It tastes like nyquil.

It's Vicks Formula 44. The old-fashioned stuff before they started coming out with all the sissy flavors and additives for other crap. Oddly enough, it was also the same color as Jager.

ChadTower · « **Reply #131 on:** August 29, 2005, 04:42:10 pm »

That was one of the major banned substances that our Guidance Counselors used to lecture us about.

Stingray, get 'im.

Don't look at me. I think it's endlessly amusing when people O.D. on over-the-counter medications.

Nyquil is still the king....anything that tastes just like the color it is has to be the best.

Dinner: Open faced hot turkey sandwich, gravy and stuffing... with bacon in the sandwich.

ChadTower · « **Reply #137 on:** August 30, 2005, 11:54:03 am »

Lunch:

Stingray · « **Reply #138 on:** August 30, 2005, 11:58:17 am »

You're having lunch early today. I'll report in later.

Stingray · « **Reply #139 on:** August 30, 2005, 03:12:01 pm »

Arby's Chicken, Bacon & Swiss. The bacon was a bit soggy, but I suppose that soggy bacon is better than no bacon.

-S

shmokes · « **Reply #140 on:** August 30, 2005, 03:36:03 pm »

Dinner: Grilled chicken breast with an apricot dip, corn, a peach.

Breakfast: English Muffin, Earl Grey, Breakfast Burrito with egg, potatoes, onions and bell peppers.

Lunch: Two peanut butter/jam sandwiches. Bottle of water.

Sorry. Bacon tastes fine, though, I guess. I sometimes have it when I order breakfast at restaurants or on the occasional club or blt.

Okay shmokes, you have until the count of ten to put on your flame resitant underoos.

Oh yeah....I forgot to mention pistachios. I eat pistachios like they were going out of style.

And thanks to Stingray's warning ---my bottom--- still looks like ivory.

ChadTower · « **Reply #143 on:** August 30, 2005, 04:28:24 pm »

Seriously, dude missed the whole point to this thread. This thread is not for reporting meals. This thread is for reporting bacon.

If you do not have bacon on your plate you do not belong here.

shmokes · « **Reply #144 on:** August 30, 2005, 04:30:47 pm »

....but.....I eat so little bacon

ChadTower · « **Reply #145 on:** August 30, 2005, 04:34:55 pm »

So why would you want to be here, then? If you're not a bacon lover, why try to insert yourself into a bacon lovers' forum?

Start an apricot dip thread!

Seriously... you came into a bacon lovers' thread and started talking about apricot dip and earl grey tea. You're lucky you don't have pork products hanging out your rear end.

And here I thought this was just because I hadn't eaten any in a while.

ChadTower · « **Reply #150 on:** August 30, 2005, 04:47:37 pm »

No no no - too much pork products equal explosion, not retention.

Too many political threads equals retention.

Followed by explosion.

ChadTower · « **Reply #152 on:** August 30, 2005, 04:55:55 pm »

Unfortunately, that explosion comes via the keyboard and not the anus. The anal explosion would have more useful content.

Stingray · « **Reply #153 on:** August 30, 2005, 05:04:10 pm »

I hate to disagree with you Chad, but most of the political threads get pretty anal pretty quickly.

-S

ChadTower · « **Reply #154 on:** August 30, 2005, 05:56:01 pm »

You must agree that a literal anal explosion produces more useful content than a political thread.

psik0tik · « **Reply #155 on:** August 30, 2005, 06:24:46 pm »

an anal explosion would produce more content purely on the fact of who we are...youd much rather gravitate twords "Yeah my anus exploded" then you would "bush blah blah blah"

ChadTower · « **Reply #156 on:** August 30, 2005, 09:53:30 pm »

A reasonable person would. Alas, some posters around here respond to anything with Bush blah blah blah...

Stingray · « **Reply #157 on:** August 31, 2005, 09:20:51 am »

Well I don't know, I can see how someone would naturally think of Bush when confronted with the contents of an exploded anus.

ChadTower · « **Reply #158 on:** August 31, 2005, 09:33:09 am »

This morning on the radio, people were blaming Bush directly for the hurricane.

Stingray · « **Reply #159 on:** August 31, 2005, 09:53:53 am »

I suspected that he might be involved.
