That's the name of the pills. No, I've never taken them, I just hate the commercial. H20 is good enough for me. Bob, you are a trip. I saw a guy eat the worm once & it wasn't pretty. I won't go into detail, but I'm sure you can all imagine... Dude, Frankly, Lighten up man! Try out for a debate team. PEACE

never drank the worm, just became the worm If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

I am the Worm Man, cukoo~ca choo...

it is only recently that i have had them, i am fine on Wine and beer but too much spirits and i feel lethargic the following day, no mega headaches but....... the perils of getting old, too much smoke can be hard too bob - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://spanishsunshinedaydream.blogspot.com/ http://www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=633338979 Spanish Jam

we used to have a party game where the last shot in the bottle went with the worm, can-t remember now what the forfeit was. The worm was too good, all that chewing on cactus, just hairy and hard to get down - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://spanishsunshinedaydream.blogspot.com/ http://www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=633338979 Spanish Jam

as a bartender in my wayback years, people would ask for the worm and stick around looking for the last pour of the Mescale bottle. I always gave a gulp & gone, Bob, rarely a chew (ewww), but people swore it was the trick to not getting a headache the next day. I think the sugar content in the Mescale kept you from having a really bad headache, kinda like caffiene. who knows, but I always knew it was good for a night of entertainment when a few cruisers came in and started doing shots when the bottle was 1/2 way done. bob, here's my secret- one glass of wine + one glass of water + 1 Advil, 2 glasses= 2 Advil, 2 glasses water... hydrate often to reduce the AM throb....age is definitely a factor I have found out.

way back when, like fucking forever ago, I earned $500 for being a "test subject" for a hangover medicine. Some pharmaceutical company was in the last stages of FDA testing, and we were the first human guinnea pigs. pretty cool gig, actually. Two separate weekends, we HAD to drink whiskey, controlled amounts to get us drunk during the course of the 4 days. There were 12 of us, 6 guys, 6 gals, all deadheads in the group. Actually, about only 6 or 7 hard core heads, and a few more "straight" people, but everybody was into shows and partying. Somebody knew somebody who knew somebody who knew somebody in charge of the whole thang, and somebody said; "hey, do you want to earn $500 for drinking booze?" no fool, I. I asked: '$500 U.S. dollars??" no fool, I. I asked: '$500 U.S. dollars EACH??" yes! OK, where do I sign? US greenbacks-- 500 bucks bought a lot of gas in those daze. all sorts of legal release forms, medical questions, gotta be healthy for the drug companies to do this to you. anyways, one weekend, you got the real charcoal pills, the other weekend you got a placebo. They limited the amount of food we could eat, limited the amount of water that we could drink, based on body weight and shit like that. Although the sample was only 12 people, it was all pretty scientific. Both times, they were drawing blood at intervals, (that really sucked) to test it -- whether you gots the placebos or not, both weekends, they were taking blood. before each "drink" wheich was every 15 minutes, I never shot nothing, so the whole needle thing is pretty fucked up, especially as you are getting drunk on sour mash. As we got drunk, they gave us memory tests, hand eye coordination tests, walk in a straight line, shit like that. Me and a few of the hard core boozers actually did BETTER on the coordination and memory tests as we got drunker-- that kind of totally fucking skewed the results resulting in odd-paradigms which the doctors could never explain. i was amazing the doctors and nurses with "philosophy" courtesy of Hunter or Barlow, (before the memory tests) saying shit like: "Cherish well your thoughts and keep a tight grip on your booze" It was pretty funny. So it all became a party for the first few hours and then it started to really suck. We were actually drinking just a little bit more than we were supposed to, often running to the bathroom to do various other things that required privacy. After about 30 or 45 minutes, some of the members of our little group started staring at the lights... babbling, giggling, you get the picture. some were definately en-hancing our party with un-mentionables. Suddenly, after boozing for 3 hours we had to take handfulls of these fucking smelly charcoal pills. I mean like 20 at a time, well, the doctor would say, please swallow all of these pills, but you can only drink 300 cc of water to do it. Every hour, more booze, more pills, more blood letting... It went on and on... the blood taking, the handfulls of pills, the continuous boozing, the MUSIC! but oh no!! "you can not dance!! no physical exertion, no sweating allowed!" I started calling this one nurse Dracula's mistress, calling her a leech and a blood sucker, I swear, she looked just like Nurse Ratchid. The whole thing became a big bummer and we was getting just a little belligerant. I think in all, we had to drink and do that shit for 6 hours each day of the 2 weekends. They had us all crash in the clinic. So it was 12 hours of boozing in a 48 hour time period. But you know what? Those charcoal pills definately work, I got the placebo the first weekend, and the real stuff the second weekend. So it went, we got through the 2 weekends, got the money paid in CASH!! and went our own way onto the summer tour that year... later on, I ran into the "straight" dude who kind of set the whole thing up, and I heard that they had to re-do all of the tests, because with the exception of 1 or 2 people, EVERYBODY had something we weren't supposed to have in our blood in our blood. So they drug company had to re-do everything, they threatened law suits because somewhere in that fine print we had signed papers saying we would be clean. But fuck it, we did it, got the cash dollar bill money, and hit the road. by the way, iknowurider, not only have I looked into the eyes of the worm, the worm winked at me -- but that is another story. peace

these days, and probably for about 20 years, I have been off the hard alcohol; it is just too hard on the old system... I still enjoy beer and wine, especially red, red wine. I don't mix wine with beer, ever. though I often make my own blends of wine, 2 parts hearty merlot mixed with one part shiraz. and my personal cure for hangovers, is lots and lots of water and a couple of advils. Maybe add some whatthefuckaretheycalled?, yeah, electrolites, or some gatorade, like that. a liter of wine, 2 liters of water. I can't sleep though, because I'm up every 10 minutes to piss. such is the life of a geezer. ) -;

now who really wants to hear the story of the crotch rot medicine cream that don't work that we tested the year before??! ( -: yuk yuk yuk.

but I'm sure the rotten crotch story will be a hit with the ladies! ; - ) "Since you've all been such good boys and girls, I would like to take everybody in this entire audience out for milk and cookies. There are buses outside. Everybody follow me."

your wife knows first hand about that story ever so intimately. ( -: yuk yuk yuk. we gotta stop this shit before we get booted off and banned from the forum for posting crap in every thread. I'd like to personally remind everyone, it all stated with some dork named Tony Clifton.

I know, let's start bashing those dudes from England who have those funny "Beatle" accents. yuk yuk yuk

CCJ, nice! What a story. Where the pills you were taking for this test the "morning after pills?" Joe where are you from again? What State?

being overly observent, i was wondering how long the "e-mail sign-up" has been on the home page,below "who online". seems to me, if i'm a member why do i not an email reminder, wouldn't such events,offers n'releases already be posted on the home page? seems redundant! i do kind of remember it on the old dead.net but am just noticing it here now isay ol'chap, owabouta spot o'tea, yes yes roll1 4me

all the way, baby! Ya gotta love a team that could cause the NHL to change the rules during the playoffs. When I was a kid I played goaltender. And believe me, I had my own way to deal with such antics... Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

Yes Mr Gallagher does say he loves his daughter not his dog Yes I hate Manchester United and I also hate Manchester City, who are now owned by Thaksin Shinowath no less, former PM of Thailand on whose watch thousands of drug users were shot while trying to 'run away from the police'. Not sure what Noel and Liam think about that. I don't exactly hate Oasis, they are not bad for a not-very-original pub band I suppose I am originally a Londoner from Peckham. I used to speak like Dick van Dyke but now sound like Prince Charles. Oh and I support Tottenham!
