Non-Music Shit / a map of sadness
« on: May 18, 2008, 01:48:08 PM »
After my trip to KY, I was curious where all the dry counties were.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_county
A dry county is a county in the United States whose government forbids the sale of alcoholic beverages. Some prohibit off-premises sale, some prohibit on-premises sale, and some prohibit both. Hundreds of dry counties exist across the United States, although most commonly in the South. A number of smaller jurisdictions also exist, such as cities, towns and townships, which prohibit the sale of alcoholic beverages. These are known as dry towns, dry cities or dry townships
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_county#Criticism_of_local_.22dry_laws.22
Damn! I had no idea:
The village of Ephraim, Wisconsin, is the only dry municipality in Wisconsin; it has been dry since its founding in the mid-nineteenth century, and its anti-liquor laws have been upheld decisively in two referenda (in 1934 and 1992).
And the dry county map of KY.. wonder how that affects the distilleries?

04-30) 11:29 PDT SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) --
A working class suburb of Chile's capital began handing out free Viagra to senior citizens on Wednesday.
Lo Prado Mayor Gonzalo Navarrete said he launched the program because "an active sexuality improves the overall quality of life."
About 1,500 residents of the working-class area are eligible to receive as many as four pills of the erectile dysfunction drug each month, the mayor said. They have to be at least 60 and be registered with the municipality's health service.
"A doctor will have to certify that they suffer from erectile dysfunction and that their condition would not put them in danger of suffering cardio-respiratory side effects," Navarrete told The Associated Press by telephone.
He said he has assured about US$10,000 (euro6,400) in financing for the program through the end of the year.
Some government insurance plans in the United States and elsewhere provide Viagra, but Lo Prado hands the 50mg pills out free, with no membership in any public or private insurance plan required.
Navarrete said some other mayors in the Santiago area, which includes 34 municipalities, have told him they plan similar programs.
Navarrete said he did not know how many pills had been distributed so far.

For 20 bucks we got these little claw covers for her. (four sets for 20 bucks). Took her to the vet for a trim and to have them put 'em on. Her claws are now sheathed in plastic, and pretty much useless. Hopefully this will put an end to her attempts to destroy record spines.

Non-Music Shit / sweet!
« on: April 17, 2008, 02:58:27 PM »
Federal drug agents say candy-flavored cocaine is a new and troubling development and are hoping to keep it from spreading to the rest of the country after its recent emergence in California.
Drug rings have occasionally sold cocaine mixed with candy powder, but investigators said the new product was significantly more sophisticated and lucrative. Cocaine cut with an added flavoring is less potent, but the 1? pounds seized last month were a full-strength powder into which strawberry, coconut, lemon and cinnamon flavoring had been chemically synthesized.
The flavored cocaine would command $1,100 to $1,400 an ounce on the street, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration said after DEA agents and state investigators seized the flavored drugs at two homes in Modesto, Calif. Regular powder cocaine, by comparison, fetches $600 to $700 an ounce, the agency said.

Non-Music Shit / Craziest place you ever..
« on: April 07, 2008, 02:18:07 PM »
snorted cocaine? Can you beat Gary Busey?
http://blog.wired.com/games/2008/04/the-craziest-th.html
What was the freakiest thing you ever snorted blow off of when you were a prominent coke fiend?
I came home one day, took off my windbreaker, and three bindles of cocaine fell to the floor. Well, my dog, Chili, who has short hair, came in and laid on her back with her legs in the air, and she rubbed all my cocaine on her back and side. I yelled, "No, Chili! No" So I got a straw, and I started brushing her hair and snorting where I saw cocaine. Back, butt, side -- not a spot was left. It took me 25 minutes to snort all the cocaine the dog had on her coat. The fringe benefits of this were that the fleas, the dog hair, the mud, and the sweat went in my nose, too. It's not a good flavor coming off the dog.

Southwest Grounds 41 Jets
03-12) 11:43 PDT DALLAS (AP) --
Southwest Airlines grounded 41 planes overnight ? about 8 percent of its fleet ? in the wake of its recent admission that it had missed required inspections of some planes for structural cracks.
Southwest shares fell 4 percent in midday trading.
The move announced Wednesday comes as Southwest faces a $10.2 million civil penalty for continuing to fly nearly 50 planes after the airline told regulators that it had missed required inspections of the planes.
The Federal Aviation Administration, which announced the penalty last week, has also come under fire for failing to immediately ground the Southwest jets when it learned they had not been inspected for cracks in the fuselage.

Dungeons & Dragons Co-Creator Dies at 69
03-04) 10:50 PST MILWAUKEE, (AP) --
Gary Gygax, who co-created the fantasy game Dungeons & Dragons and helped start the role-playing phenomenon, died Tuesday morning at his home in Lake Geneva. He was 69.
He had been suffering from health problems for several years, including an abdominal aneurysm, said his wife, Gail Gygax.
Gygax and Dave Arneson developed Dungeons & Dragons in 1974 using medieval characters and mythical creatures. The game known for its oddly shaped dice became a hit, particularly among teenage boys, and eventually was turned into video games, books and movies.
Gygax always enjoyed hearing from the game's legion of devoted fans, many of whom would stop by the family's home in Lake Geneva, about 55 miles southwest of Milwaukee, his wife said. Despite his declining health, he hosted weekly games of Dungeons & Dragons as recently as January, she said.
"It really meant a lot to him to hear from people from over the years about how he helped them become a doctor, a lawyer, a policeman, what he gave them," Gygax said. "He really enjoyed that."
Dungeons & Dragons players create fictional characters and carry out their adventures with the help of complicated rules. The quintessential geek pastime, it spawned a wealth of copycat games and later inspired a whole genre of computer games that's still growing in popularity.
Funeral arrangements are pending. Besides his wife, Gygax is survived by six children
