Jack Danials does the same thing.

RedStateHippy		2005-11-19 09:43:38 PM

Yeaaaa, that's safe.

"God, what did my Dad use to say, do I use a fork or a knife to get the bread out of the toaster?"

Further studies indicate 'being blonde' has similar effect.

Looks like I'm the only farker/loser without a life on this fine Saturday night.

At least I was the first. Woot!

muta, It's sorta sad when you post that and you end up being beaten by several other farkers...

The Perfect Drug for the Perfect Woman.

It leaves her skinny, stoned, and you can repeatedly bum money off of her without pissing her off. It would suck to take her to a movie, though.

Arise Chicken		2005-11-19 09:51:38 PM

Look again, tiiger.

I swear there's a Requiem for a Dream reference in here somewhere...

Unless it makes you forget the directions to the nearest fast food joint, I don't see it as very effective.

I'm on a selective norepinephrine and serotonin reuptake inhibitor and i haven't noticed any bad things ... in [points to head] this thing this thing.

Scientist 1: That appetite suppressant is amazing.
Scientist 2: [via intercom] Homer, you really have no desire to
eat that food?
Homer: Food? I'm blind! [screams and runs wildly around
the room]
Scientist 1: Who's going to buy a pill that makes you blind?
Scientist 2: We'll let marketing worry about that.

ptrifoliata2		2005-11-19 09:58:37 PM

oh wait sibutramine also has dopamine reuptake inhibition that probably affects you overall differently than what i'm on. wow a three-fer med. that's cool.

all your neurotransmitters are now belong to pills.

pizza pizza. now. please.

RancidOne		2005-11-19 10:02:35 PM

How do they remember to take it?

It's Saturday? Oops, I had a date for Saturday. At least I think it was Saturday. What month is this again?

Blackie_NZ		2005-11-19 10:18:40 PM

Could this be a New Zealand trifecta in play? Two New Zealand stories today already, is there to be a third?

If you're on the same stuff I am, your stomach is too upset to eat anything anyway. I'm hungry all the time, but nothing sounds appetizing.

Now, if I could just get rid of these brain shivers...

Muta		2005-11-19 10:24:58 PM

Seems like pills are replacing simple will power.

borist		2005-11-19 10:32:43 PM

"It's a new signal, as is amnesia, that's never been reported," Harrison-Woolrych said.

....apparently it also makes you forget to report side effects. C-L-E-V-E-R
