We will soon be instructed to “Talk to death”
We’re going to find out, sooner or later,
If Abdul will pray, to a smoking crater.
> That was Dextroamphetamine or “Green Hornets” as they were more commonly referred to by the troops.
That’s also true, I had forgotten about Green Hornets — Dextroamphetamine was also used by James Bond in several of Ian Fleming’s novels. He called them “Benzedrine tablets”.
Methamphetamine is slightly different to Dextroamphetamine, with much the same effects and similar side-effects. Both are based on ephedrine, an extract from the ephedra plant.
Methamphetamine was invented for German soldiers in WW-II. Hitler apparently took it: if so, that can explain an awful lot.
> I used to love that stuff. (Before I was legislated into a life of obesity.)
Methamphetamine has been used to treat obesity (usually really short-term because of its really ugly side-effects) as well as Depression and a few other things.
IMO, you’d be better off Obese than addicted to Methamphetamine. I get to see addicts pretty regularly: they aren’t pretty and they certainly can’t be living happy lives.
Yep all those people with their little bumper stickers sayings no more living in fear B.O is here.Peace love and happiness is great but reality is evil lurks in the hearts of man so you kill it.
I’ve kind of had this fantasy........wouldn’t it be great to destroy any city with the letters “bad” at the end of their name? AND.....also any countries with “ickistan” at the end? Hmmmmmm.........
Guess not. Oh well.
WHOA! That dude looks positively scary. Ultra-alert. That weird “red eye” in the photo is possibly from dilated pupils — that would be my guess, anyrate.
Now that I’ve seen that photo I’m even more convinced that they were amped on P-Methamphetamine. Or at least some sort of Amphetamine.
If you did that you'd take out Hyderabad, India, east of Bangalore.
Man, THOSE were the days - a month's worth of both were under $15!
I had no problems at all getting off them other than being tired for a couple weeks, but I imagine I was the exception.
yeah, BHO went partridge hunting during his college years. During the same time that hostages were being held in Iran, if I’m correct...;)
I’ve been saying for years it’s glass parking lot time
