ok well thats not him then. I thought one of you would know it right off.

Maybe it was Sam, I didn't think so though. He did die in '92 so I guess it was.

and yet more of your assholiness in another thread. You really are fortunate that being such a cunt comes so naturally for you - some have to work at it.

:doit:


i can post this all day you know

it wouldn't even tax my keyboard in the slightest

OH WAIT, I know....BELUSHI.

:lol:

If you'd just admit when you're mistaken it wouldn't be such a big deal. Dogs. Comedians. GAWD forbid you got something wrong.

Love,

Cunty-poo

Mistaken about what? I didn't know who it was in the first place.


Go play with someone else, I'm really not in the mood for your bullshit.

See see, my playmate? You invited me back in:

Snark begets snark. :lol:

We'll be jolly friends forevermore! ;)

I think Dana got it right.

Except that he was VERY talented.

He certainly was. I've been to a fair few live stand-up gigs, but his was frakking electric. Seriously edgy. We were there on press night, 'cause J's Dad was reviewing for The Guardian. Neither I nor J had even heard of the guy, we just bumped into Les in Manchester during an arts festival and he happened to be on his way to review Bill Hicks at the beer tent.

I went on a frenzy of Bill Hicks catchup (as well as I could without the glorious youtube to help) and was gutted when he died.


What's completely terrifying is I still think of him as this middle-aged curmudgeon, but I am now older than he was :p

I know what you mean. I think the only hope is to stop thinking altogether. I suspect that a number of Alzheimers cases are really people who just don't want to cop to the fact that they are older than the middle-aged curmudgeons they once derided.

Rumours is not just an LP by Fleetwood Mac.

"They" are saying maybe Amy died from etoh withdrawal.

I had never heard of that until recently, I met a guy who was having back surgery and was a professional drinker. The hospital gave him 2 beers a day.

I caught a slight buzz just breathing the air around him. He was amazingly functional though.

yeah, the hospital keeps beers at the pharmacy (and alcohol drips) for just such occasions. Withdrawal really, truly can kill you. Ativan should be OTC. Would help out a lot of things if a LOT of stuff was OTC.

I was reading that they are just now barely getting a handle on the etoh withdrawal risks.

I drink some beers from time to time, have excessively from time to time, but I never imagined what could happen to people withdrawing from alcohol, not just the DTs but actual death! I've just had the hangover or two.

It's sad. :(

Bri, how does ativan, an anti-anxiety, help with that? I know very little about the subject.

It's an anti-seizure med. Gave my father some megahallucinations, though (nuns are building a gift shop out in the hall at night).

any Rx that will calm the nerves will help with withdrawal. When a PhD (Pretty heavy Drinker :) stops the booze train to the brain and body, all the numbed nerves start firing up like a stripper at a convention. "The booze is gone! It's time to PLAYYYYYY!" and you get an overwrought brain hallucinate and an over-excited body has seizures. Any sedating med will help with that nastiness.

ativan, valium, xanax, hell, even ambien will help. Ativan is the best, though, for my money. ;)
