Nice try Jimmy, what the hell you been smoking????
Your friend, Don :D

Whatever it is, I only smoke it before my matches. ;)




P.S. Before someone thinks I'm serious, I should say that I am being sarcastic. My only vice is Starbucks - those bastards.

I wouldn't be upset in the slightest. Fact is, as soon as you came back I'd up the bet and get you to laughing your ass off so hard that you wouldn't even care that you were losing. Then I'd buy some french fries, hot dogs, ice cream and everything else to load your gut up to discomfort (but satisfied) and then have you take another break for a cigar size one. You wouldn't even notice how much you lost until the next morning when you turned your pockets inside out and found nothing but some loose papers.

Grass does NOT enhance performance. What you might gain in slight relaxation is counteracted by other factors.


I agree totally tried that when I was younger and like most that are under the influence I actually believed I was being helped by some weed! :rolleyes: now I know it was just like most people who use any kind of drug Self delusions! :(

Wait a damned minute here. The fact that Jude stood up for his friend because someone was making rude remarks about her in a public forum makes him nuts and a groupie? What the hell kind of logic is that? Do you think you should be allowed to come into here and just say anything you want about anyone you want and not expect someone to challenge you? What are you, like 13 years old? If this is the best you can do, then I for one would prefer not to see any more posting from you. Your brand of "humor" is neither wanted nor appreciated.
What you meant to say was my brand of humor is not appreciated by you, and your right it is a public forum if you dont like something dont read, everything in here is an opinion anyway. Besides opinions are like assholes everyone has one. So chill out if things get to heated in here and you all get offended because of something someone says you should just hit that big X in the top right, and go back to nitting class

Just to throw in my 2 cents worth. If the comment was funny or was a parody of reality that would be one thing, but it is just plain stupid. Of course, if Jude, Black Jack, etc. had just ignored the comment and dismissed it as childish, which is what it is, not many people would have paid any attention to it.
Don't give up your day job for comedy.

Oh yeah Jimmy, those Starbucks we had at the tournament really helped us in our next match, lol. Neither of us could make a ball! And to think I used to do drugs and play, unbelieveable!

Take this shit to the Flame War thread, better suited in there.

Are you refering to the post or the poster?
The poster that made the comment about the 2 women. Seems to me that he hijacked this thread and once again, a good thread turned to shit. Peace, John.

Yeah, the double espresso's don't really help just before a match, do they?

Back to the topic.

I was doing some research on the whole BETA blocker thing, and they are used for multiple purposes.
Not only for heart issues, but for anger management, anxiety, etc etc. All of which have been discussed.

The one thing that i found very interesting, is that if you have allergies.

Say asthma....or you are allergic to bee or spider bites for instance.

You can die rather easily if you have an allergic reaction.

If it happens to be a situation where your heart needs to be sped up by say a shot of adrenaline to stop the allergic reaction to a bite or sting, or you have an asthma attack and need to take your inhailer. They won't work because of the beta blocking mechanism. They are rendered ineffective.

Wow, I didn't know this. I find it very interesting that betablockers could do some harm to you. But you explanation makes sense...

They're drugs...and drugs have no clue if they're illegal or not, they just do what they do.

Perhaps the terms, "enable" and "enhance" would be distinctive here. If a drug or substance or whatever you call it "enables" a person to play, then it would be ok. An example is Jeanette's pain killers for her back: they enable her to play.

However, if a drug "enhances" one's play then it should be not used during sport's competitions. For example, meth enhances one's abilities to play during the wee hours. Wait...no, it doesn't, it enables. OK, how about the beta blockers...don't they enhance one's play? Then there's alcohol...does it enable or enhance...or neither? Me thinks my distinction is falling apart.

It's a start anyway...anybody else have a comment? No man, I'm too stoned to think about it.

Hey--I tried this and it didn't work. The directions said take the pill and wait 1 hour. When the alarm went off--- I couldn't remember why I set the alarm.

I saw this AIDS prevention kit once. It consisted of a bottle of water, a bottle of bleach and a condom. The instructions said “ Boil your equipment for 5 minutes and then soak it in bleach”

...after that I’m still not sure what the condom was for.
