very very very awake during times when school required lots of attention.
They weren't very smart though, and didn't succeed in getting any.)

llizard [home] 15 Dec. 16:18, from: 216.154.8.113, bluebrojek; if the bungy is too long, you could wake up quite suddenly
with a terrific headache.

sell things like that (unless you're referring to Coke, which is a little
harder)

stiff and "creaks" when I move, so it's not too comfortable...

llizard [home] 15 Dec. 16:27, from: 216.154.8.113, bluehello THornn;
VK; I guess I missed what forbidden substance you and Shimrod were
talking about. I don't usually have forbidden substances (except
the ones that are forbidden here in this room - I have LOTS of that)
Thornn 15 Dec. 16:28, from: 204.38.177.33, purplewhoever~How are you today?
Shimrod [email] 15 Dec. 16:29, from: 129.125.21.120, orangeVK>> Must say I've never smoked pot though. Someone I knew
(lived in the same house) went totally crazy from it (diagnosed
severely psychotic and totally out of touch with reality).
He was arrested for trying to steal a policecar in front of a
police station, he thought it was his own car...
Shimrod [email] 15 Dec. 16:30, from: 129.125.21.120, orangeThornn>> Doing great, thankx. How are you?
llizard [home] 15 Dec. 16:31, from: 216.154.8.113, blueVK and Shimrod; In fact, I remember the first time I ever smelled pot. I
was at a party and people were handing a pipe around. I was so naive
that I thought they couldn't afford to buy a pipe each and were sharing
their tobacco. (Have I mentioned that I can be rather dense?) When
the pipe was handed to me, I passed it on saying, "No thanks, I don't
smoke" The reply was "Cool" and that was it. It wasn't until I got home
that I realized that the tobacco had a very odd smell....
Thornn 15 Dec. 16:31, from: 204.38.177.33, purpleShimrod~Pretty good. Just got done with a test... :\
VK [email] [home] 15 Dec. 16:32, from: 130.240.2.89, redllizard >> I was talking about legal substances, Shimrod was talking
about legal substances (that would be illegal if I talked about them,
due to the fact that I don't live in Holland). At least that's what I
think we were talking about. :)
Thornn 15 Dec. 16:32, from: 204.38.177.33, purplellizard~Interesting story... ;D

llizard [home] 15 Dec. 16:32, from: 216.154.8.113, blueThornn; very well thank you, and you?
Shimrod and VK; and I went out with a guy who was HAD to smoke weed
before going to concerts. He smoked every day - a lot.
VK [email] [home] 15 Dec. 16:33, from: 130.240.2.89, redllizard >> :D
VK [email] [home] 15 Dec. 16:33, from: 130.240.2.89, redhttp://www-ccs.cs.umass.edu/%7Eshri/iPic.html
llizard [home] 15 Dec. 16:34, from: 216.154.8.113, blueVK; Those substances are illegal here too but I think they are very
common and easily grown/purchased. Personally, I loathe the smell of
weed.
Thornn; Did you get 100%?
Thornn 15 Dec. 16:34, from: 204.38.177.33, purplellizard~Pretty good. :)
Thornn 15 Dec. 16:35, from: 204.38.177.33, purplellizard~I dunno what I got. I'll know tomorrow...
It was a very easy test, though... :)

brojek [email] 15 Dec. 16:35, from: 212.160.114.123, brown/yellowllizard: Well, but if i woke up with that hedache, it would be
after loong, decent sleep. Otherwise I wouldn't mind
my head buncing against ground. :-)
llizard [home] 15 Dec. 16:36, from: 216.154.8.113, blueThornn; Then you probably got 99%. (I always found that with the easy
tests, I always made one dumb mistake.)
Thornn 15 Dec. 16:36, from: 204.38.177.33, purplebrojek~Heya! :)

llizard [home] 15 Dec. 16:37, from: 216.154.8.113, bluebrojek; Perhaps it would have to bounce several times before it actually
woke you up. (You really have been burning the candle at both ends)
Thornn 15 Dec. 16:37, from: 204.38.177.33, purplellizard~I know what you mean.
There was one section I wasn't sure on, though. Other than that, the
test was easy... :)
llizard [home] 15 Dec. 16:38, from: 216.154.8.113, blueVK; And the weed head constantly ascerted that he WASN'T addicted to
weed and could stop ANY time....
Shimrod [email] 15 Dec. 16:38, from: 129.125.21.120, orangellizard>> Hmm, seems pretty real. They even got mentioned at slashdot,
which is a site by nerds for nerds.
brojek [email] 15 Dec. 16:39, from: 212.160.114.123, brown/yellowllizard: Once upon a time, I was asleep. My friends tired to
play a joke on me, so they brought heavy and powerfull
loudspeakers, and put them next to my ears, one at a side.
They run them at top volume for an hour. I know of this from
talking to others -- I can't remeber having any trouble
with them. I didn't awoken
VK [email] [home] 15 Dec. 16:40, from: 130.240.2.89, redllizard >> Of course!
Shimrod [email] 15 Dec. 16:40, from: 129.125.21.120, orangellizard>> That's one of the main signs of addiction, assuring people that
you can stop anytime you want to :-)
Thornn 15 Dec. 16:40, from: 204.38.177.33, purpleShimrod~slashdot is a good site. :)
VK [email] [home] 15 Dec. 16:41, from: 130.240.2.89, redbrojek >> And you didn't have any trouble hearing? :-O
Shimrod [email] 15 Dec. 16:41, from: 129.125.21.120, orangebrojek>> :-)
The reason you didn't wake up is probably because your eardrums exploded
as soon as they turned them on :-)
Thornn 15 Dec. 16:42, from: 204.38.177.33, purplellizard~I have just been told by one of my classmates that the way I
did that one section was the correct way... *yay* :D
llizard [home] 15 Dec. 16:42, from: 216.154.8.113, blueTHornn; I remember a rather complex math exam that I took in grade 12.
I got 99% so was really not paying much attention the class after we
got our exams handed back, as the teacher went
over each question in minute detail for the rest of the class. Suddenly
I heard my name called out and the question: "3 plus 8 comes to?" I
replied "ll" The teacher said "Aha!!!" and then I looked down
at my exam paper to see where it was I lost my 1%....
VK [email] [home] 15 Dec. 16:43, from: 130.240.2.89, redThornn >> Unless he got it wrong too...
VK [email] [home] 15 Dec. 16:44, from: 130.240.2.89, red*brb*
Thornn 15 Dec. 16:44, from: 204.38.177.33, purplellizard~Oops. I made one of those kind of mistakes on my last math
test. I multiplied 2 by 3 and got 8. :(
*has to go...*
all~Bye! *waves*
llizard [home] 15 Dec. 16:44, from: 216.154.8.113, blueThornn; Hurrah! So that means you got 99%!
Shimrod; I seem to recall using that argument with this obstinant fellow.
I haven't seen him in years. No doubt he is still smoking like a maniac,
still claiming not to be addicted and has lost a few more brain cells....
Shimrod [email] 15 Dec. 16:45, from: 129.125.21.120, orangeThornn>> Yup, slashdot is pretty neat once you've filtered out the
crappy articles :-)

Shimrod [email] 15 Dec. 16:48, from: 129.125.21.120, orangellizard>> Losing braincells migth be good :-)
I recently heard the following argument: When you study, your braincells
get tired and weakened due to the stress. Drinking alcohol works like
natural selection, it kills the weak braincells, allowing the stronger
cells to work at optimum efficiency :-)

Shimrod [email] 15 Dec. 16:56, from: 129.125.21.120, orangellizard>> I like the argument :-)
THey recently had a table in a newspaper showing when you are a 'heavy drinker'
It was something like: "At least once a week more than 6 alcoholic beverages"
By that criterium, all my friends are heavy drinkers :-)
llizard [home] 15 Dec. 16:57, from: 216.154.8.113, blueVK; Until a couple of days ago, I could almost sit on it. But I cut
off about 6cm so now it is at the small of my back.

llizard [home] 15 Dec. 17:01, from: 216.154.8.113, blueShimrod; or does it mean that you and VK don't have any more brain
cells to die?

Shimrod [email] 15 Dec. 17:02, from: 129.125.21.120, orangellizard>> Good point. I'm not going bald though, so maybe the fewer braincells
you have, the slower your hair grows :-)
llizard [home] 15 Dec. 17:02, from: 216.154.8.113, blueshimrod; I have one or two glasses of wine with dinner. (I don't think
that makes me a heavy drinker)
VK [email] [home] 15 Dec. 17:03, from: 130.240.2.89, redShimrod >> No. If you want to compare you'll have to shave us all and
then measure how long the hair is after a certain time (no cutting hair
off during that time!).

beverages. They didn't mean 6 total a week.

alcoholic beverages on a given day in one year.
Shimrod [email] 15 Dec. 17:09, from: 129.125.21.120, orangellizard>> Nope. If you have at least 7 beer every thursday or something,
that make you a heavy drinker.
Recent tests also showed that in holland, male students have an average
of 21 drinks (alcoholic) a week, and female students have 10.
Makes me a pretty average student :-)
llizard [home] 15 Dec. 17:09, from: 216.154.8.113, blueShimrod; maybe. or 6 on one day in one decade....
llizard [home] 15 Dec. 17:10, from: 216.154.8.113, blueShimrod; I'm sure the statistics are similar for Canada. (Possibly
more alcohol is imbibed though)
llizard [home] 15 Dec. 17:12, from: 216.154.8.113, blueShimrod; I did a lot of touring of the country a couple of years ago.
In one of the hotels I stayed in, there was a map of the city with ten
points of interest. Here are the first three:
1.) Beer store
2.) Liquor store
3.) Beer and Liquor store
I'm NOT joking!!!
Shimrod [email] 15 Dec. 17:12, from: 129.125.21.120, orangellizard>> What is the minimum age for drinking alcohol in canada? I know
that it's 21 in the US, so they shouldn't reach an average like that.
Shimrod [email] 15 Dec. 17:14, from: 129.125.21.120, orangellizard>> Well, thos *are* points of interest :-)
The average number of drinks in sweden should be lower too I think, I hear
alcohol is very expensive there...
llizard [home] 15 Dec. 17:14, from: 216.154.8.113, blueShimrod; In the province I live in, alcohol can only be sold in certain
stores. Beer is sold in one store and hard liquor & wine in another store.
I don't know what the reason can be for separating the beer from the
wine & hard liquor.
Shimrod [email] 15 Dec. 17:15, from: 129.125.21.120, orangellizard>> I assume they sell alcoholic drinks in bars though? Cause
that's where I do most of my drinking :-)
llizard [home] 15 Dec. 17:16, from: 216.154.8.113, blueShimrod; It depends on the province. I think it's 19 here in Ontario.
But in the province (Alberta) that I grew up in (grew up is a relative
term...) the age is 18.
I've always thought it very bizarre that Americans are considered old
enough to go to war at the age of 18 but not old enough to have
alcohol until they are 21.
llizard [home] 15 Dec. 17:17, from: 216.154.8.113, blueshimrod; yes, of course. beer and liquor can be purchased in bars as
long as they are licenced by the province. Up until about 10 years ago
(or was it 20?) one couldn't get any alcohol on a Sunday unless one
bought food as well.
Shimrod [email] 15 Dec. 17:18, from: 129.125.21.120, orangeAmericans are allowed to drive at 16 too :-)
US of A: drink 21, sex 18, drive 16, war 18
holland: drink 16, sex 16, drive 18, war 17
Hmm, I'm glad I live in holland :-)
llizard [home] 15 Dec. 17:18, from: 216.154.8.113, blueSHimrod; and it is only very recently that the beer and wine stores
have been open for business on a Sunday. (I think it was two years ago
that they started that)
VK [email] [home] 15 Dec. 17:19, from: 130.240.2.89, redShimrod >> Don't be ridiculous. People here drink milk five or six days
a week, then they go out on Friday and/or Saturday and get so drunk they
can't stand up.
