thanks Hoodat! Now, does anyone know if something about AN will be entered into the case? I would bet this kid (TM) was searching high and low for a cheap high every day of his life.
Got a question and you post on here alot... What does it mean to “ping” someone? How does it work ? I’m confused on this...
I would love to know how much this guy charged for this.
Had to be expensive
Born a junkie, or a spaced out junkie ?
Back in the day, one would empty the Whippet capsule into a balloon-like device, and then empty the balloon into one’s lungs.
At least that’s what I’ve been told. Heh, heh.
okay, a whippet is nitrous oxide, the stuff that also makes whipped cream come out of a can.
Thx. That closes the loop.
LOL! It was a form of evolution :)
I lease office space, hence the reference to space. Being a junkie because I can’t get away from it :|
Sometimes qualified with the disclaimer "Don't laugh. It could happen!"
We'll have to see if the prosecution raises the issue again. However, on the 3rd day of the trial the Lauer 911 call was not played, so I don't know that they could claim that his identification was affected by hearing the call in court previously. And there is no perjury issue as far as I can tell. It seems like the only thing they could do is ask for the testimony to be stricken, and even if they did that, it would just highlight the testimony again for the jury.
Our friend—let’s call him P—loves poppers. P is a 37-year-old radio and voiceover actor, a volunteer at a suicide helpline, and a poppers enthusiast. Originally the term “poppers” referred to tiny glass bulbs of amyl nitrite that old people would pop under their nose (thus the name) to stop angina. Then gays figured out that they also make your orgasms about twenty-hundred times stronger and by the mid-70s doing poppers was such an integral part the disco scene (both gay and straight) that clubs would dump whole loads of amyl into the vents to save people the trouble of lifting their hands to their faces. Once the government caught on, they tried to curb recreational use by making amyl nitrite prescription only, but this just created a thriving market for all sorts of generic nitrites like isobutyl or cyclohexyl which have the same effect when popped. Then in the 80s a handful of dickheads tried to tie popper use to AIDS and they were finally banned altogether.
But poppers survived! To this day you can buy bottles of the lesser nitrites at pretty much any sex shop. They just have to claim they’re “liquid aroma” or “video head cleaner” to make it seem like no one’s using them to get off. Technically they’re all vasodilators, meaning they relax the muscles constricting your blood vessels which leads to a flushed sensation in your head and extremities and for some reason also loosens your sphincter muscles. This is the other reason for their continued popularity with the gay community.There are so many different brands of this stuff, like “Iron Horse” and “Jungle Juice,” we wondered if there was really any difference between them at all. So we invited P over to do sort of like a wine tasting, but with poppers. We lined up 11 bottles procured from gay sex shops all along Christopher Street and gave him some fresh coffee beans to cleanse his palette in between bottles—just like they do at fancy perfume stores. All in all it was a very classy affair. Anyways, here’s what P had to say about the goods, and about popping in general.

ROFL! I assumed you were a science fiction (”Space”) film fan (”Junkie”), and your favorite was “2001”: A Space Odyssey!
There’s a lesson somewhere in there about assumption, I suppose...
“Ping” means to direct a post to a particular user, who may not be active on a given thread, to alert that user to something he or she may be interested in.
So, if I know that user “abcxyz” works in a medical field, I might ping abcxyz on a thread on which some medical topic is under discussion.
Some people ping themselves as a way of bookmarking a thread.
The term comes from the sonar world.
Was also referring to TM. Whether he was born a junkie or was just strung out at time of death.
“Poppers”?
Happy Snappers.
Headed to the ranch, just marking my spot.
tku
I hope this guy’s medical condition is not alcohol and drug related and that he had to go to rehab
