You assume. Are you sure, though?

Nope, hence my bringing it up. Wouldn't it have been helpful to address that issue, like I prompted you to? Or, I dunno, you could just keep being a dick over semantics. Either way.

Why either one? Who said it came up at all?

SCORE!!!

It's on, baby!

I guess all I need to know is right here! You guys just got so much more out of this tome than I did. Who could possibly be left with any questions?

Hey! Remember that time when Ben took his grandparent's medication or some shit, and posted as to the effects they were having, realtime? This is someone who takes mental health prescriptions VERY SERIOUSLY!

Hey, remember the time he took shrooms and described the effects? Maybe it's not that he is not serious about things, maybe it's just that he cares about content.

I'm pretty sure "SCORE" was a joke.

I truly hope that he's not taking different prescription stuff for the secondary reason of posting content here. That sounds rather sinister in a Ken Kesey way. There must be better things to write about. There must be better ways to bring content.

Then again, I did mention something about being funnier after a couple wobbly pops...

You brought it up in a very hostile manner. I'm not being a dick over semantics, I'm being a dick over politeness.

Anyway, back to the fun:

8/15, 9:48 AM: The Monday after my first medicated weekend. Let's see how it went!

Saturday was a big test, because it was the night of the cocktail party, featuring lots of hot asian chicks and hot wives of friends and jazz musicians. This would be the first experiment mixing Zoloft and alcohol. I was instructed by the physician that, it's probably not a good idea, but that if you were at a social outing or something and wanted to have a glass of wine, then that would be okay, but just pay attention to how it affects you.

Well, I had one (1) small glass of wine, to test it out. As sleepy as the Z makes me already, this just redoubled that effect, so I decided there was nothing to be gained by it, and went back to being a good boy. It was somewhat disappointing, though, because a) it's a cocktail party, and I should have a lampshade on my head by hour 2, and b) I was so wiped out, I left early, thus nixing any chance with the aforementioned hot asian chicks. Oh well. No pain, no gain.

Sunday I played golf, which is another difficult thing to do without drinking, but I managed, and the Z didn't appear to affect my game much, shooting a smooth 87 on a course I hadn't played before. I did have a beer at the end of the round, which felt like four beers once it mixed with the Z, so once again, I cut the party short and got out of there.

The nice thing right now is that the Z makes me feel so loopy to begin with, that the prospect of alcohol isn't even remotely appealing. And I thought this was gonna be tough!

Now it's Monday morning, and I'm just tiiiired and a little dizzy. Which, hey, I can think of worse ways to feel on a Monday morning.

Am I cured yet? Noooo. I do feel signficantly better, but given the fact that it takes longer than this to start working, I still have to chalk up the good feelings to the sense of achievement, empowerment, and most of all, hope which I gained by just starting this experiment to begin with.

Plus, when you've got this constant Z buzz going, it's hard to get too upset about anything.

Hey, serotonin reuptake inhibitor, or tranquilizer. I'll take whatever you got.

False.

Zoloft makes it almost impossible to 'achieve'.

When does this kick in? So far, no problems...

it will also make you yawn a lot

TRUE!!!! GOD!

and get a shaky feeling.

Undetermined.

Other than that it will help nothing.

Undetermined.

8/15, 3:34 PM -- Now I'm TOTALLY zonked, barely able to keep my eyes open. Mouth is dry. And now my EYES are dry.

Gee, doc, this is fun! Does this stuff cure your depression by making life just annoying enough to forget about your troubles?

Also, Knuckles is an idiot. Clickety-clack.

It's a good thing you are not having sex regularly.


False.

No, see, I was saying "False" that it was a good thing I wasn't getting laid.

That's my inimitable self-deprecating humor.

You do not understand jokes.

You may leave now.

OH yeah, I almost forgot..

Let me know if you need my input in this discussion at any point.

When people talk about you like you aren't even in the room is a sign you are getting old.


"Hey what do you want to do with gramps here?"

"I don't know, put him in the closet, we got company coming over."

I've spoken to several people who have had great success with it.

Are they lying?

He was right on the money.

On the other hand, I don't see how you can be unhappy after getting a chance to attend a party with Larry Bird. Did I ever tell you about the time I was at a party with Paul Molitor, Rob Schneider and Ving Rhames?

Your butt-sucking of KtC was bad enough when nobody knew who he was. Now it's positively nauseating.

Particularly when you'll contradict what you JUST WROTE over the weekend to do it.

"I used to think that all you had to do was quit being a pussy, but now I realize I was wrong!" - ICJ

"QIUT BEANG A PUSSY, FAOGT!!!" - KtC

"Yeah, totally! I wuv my brother sooo soo much! He is so awesome!!!" - ICJ

You're utterly shameless. And you say the dialup BBS was worse than this?

pinback wrote:Your butt-sucking of KtC was bad enough when nobody knew who he was. Now it's positively nauseating.

Well, you guys finally have an "in" on me, so who am I to rob you of it? Being a good-looking, charming, successful white professional working in his favorite field was getting to all of you.

You now have this. "I like the funniest guy on the BBS too much."

You're welcome.

Anyway, I said that you should take drugs because there was no way that you were going to listen to real advice, which was given by KtC.

No, this is not what you said, either on the board, or to me personally.

You are a liar. You are a felon, and I have nothing to hide.

So come on over, officers.

I'm moving my Z experiences to SNT, as promised. Enjoy. Or not. And have a nice day.
