Would I be better...

**iceman** · 09-10-2004, 09:34 PM

...as a hungover pissed off sarcastic guy who can often barely move but who is sometimes funny

- or-

as a medicated new age guy who sleeps well and doesn't deliberately antagonize people and who might not be funny at all.

I'm gettin' some pressure here, so input would be welcome.

Boiled down, the question is this: What is worth what?

**Odin** · 09-10-2004, 09:36 PM

Yes, and try the pickle big guy.

**Odin** · 09-10-2004, 09:42 PM

Wait! I meant to say no.

and pass on the hamburger, it has spoilt.

**iceman** · 09-10-2004, 09:46 PM

Rarely do we see spoilt in a thread that has not already been (in the immortal words of Larry Bird about how he likes his steaks cooked) totally ruint.

**Odin** · 09-10-2004, 09:49 PM

I apologize, forsooth I was blinded by the light of the luminescent tar tar sauce that was on the table.

**ArmchairExtreme** · 09-10-2004, 10:02 PM

Are you going on some new meds or hitting mid-life crisis?

**iceman** · 09-10-2004, 10:04 PM

I think I may have just trumped you on the "whatever they call the line that appears beneath your name line" line.

But now I need some iron supplements. Shit.

Who me?

No meds ever, just getting some heat to do what you did. Don't think I can do it, though.

I'll harumph your harumph and raise you a harumph.

**iceman** · 09-10-2004, 10:14 PM

Dude, you are a pause, a temporary hiatus.

I, on the other hand, am a full stop.

A period.

Hence the iron supplements, blah, blah. We just did this joke a few days ago.

**Schmear** · 09-10-2004, 10:18 PM

C'mon you guys, compromise; do it for me.

At least you didn't go for the colon. I hate that.

**meatdrink9** · 09-10-2004, 10:25 PM

As interesting as this grammar lesson is...

Ice if you want a real answer give us more dirt. I thought meds were the issue at hand as well. Not knowing what I'm recommending makes it hard for me to recommend it.

**meatdrink9** · 09-10-2004, 10:32 PM

Is this "drinking problem" related?

**Dexter Rutecki** · 09-10-2004, 10:32 PM

Back to grammar (punctuation, actually).

Check me out, mothafuckaz!!!! Think you're badass with standard punctuation marks...

Oh yeah, Ice, I can pick you up in Hahtfud, but I usually don't go for more than a day or two.

edit: fucking piece of goddamn shit, that's not what it looked like when I put it in the modifications thing.

**iceman** · 09-10-2004, 10:37 PM

Alcohol, dope, cigarettes, rock and roll, skiing fast, driving fast, whatever else I come across, etc.

-vs.-

Some kinda shit that's supposed to calm me down and make me act right. The exact agent is unspecified, as of yet, by the doc. But whatever it is, I apparently will end up a model citizen. WooHOO.

"You are number seven."

I've always been a self-medicating type of guy.

**iceman** · 09-10-2004, 10:41 PM

Dex, that's what I figured, flights are cheap enough to make it work. We've been talking about it for a while, let's do it.

**Dexter Rutecki** · 09-10-2004, 10:41 PM

Umlaut--take that.
Not quite what I had in mind.
Ice, you know I think you're great just the way you are.
Don't go changin',
To try to please me,
Don't change the color of your hair,
Mmm, mmm, mmm

I dunno, man. This call may best be made by those who usually encounter you in more than an online mode. If you think the doc knows what he's talking about, well, then.

**iceman** · 09-10-2004, 10:42 PM

Well, there's no booze left in the house, if that's what you're asking.

**iceman** · 09-10-2004, 10:44 PM

Dex, I have no problem ignoring the advice of doctors, my father was a psychiatrist.

Wives, on the other hand....

**meatdrink9** · 09-10-2004, 10:51 PM

I've only met you in person once and you seemed level headed to me. I too am a believer in self-medicating. I'm sure back in the day Little tommy edison's teachers wouldn't have known what the hell to do with this "out there" kid. These days everybody gets so medically regulated that we might miss out on the great strangeness of these people and the subsequent contributions that come from this strange place. If you think you're in trouble and need help go for it. If not and if those you love don't think you are, then stay away from the stuff.

Although, I guess it couldn't hurt to try and see if you feel it improves or detracts from your quality of life and the quality of life of those around you. Based on the reaction you have with what the doc is selling you could probably make a more informed decision after having tried it.

[/thinking it out while typing]

**summit** · 09-10-2004, 10:54 PM

<all serious> Why don't you try it both ways and see what you like more? Probably a better way to decide than asking a bunch of internet weirdos... then again there are probably a lot of medicated folks in this crowd... </all serious>

Obvious answer: GET THE DRUGS AND SELL EM ON THE STREET!

**iceman** · 09-10-2004, 10:57 PM

I'm afraid that if I started taking meds I wouldn't be as witty as basom any more.

And that's a cross no man should have to carry.

Maybe we'll start with a little less drinkin' and see what happens.

**BobMc** · 09-10-2004, 10:57 PM

You've seemed rather stable every time I've seen ya. I say stay away from any drugs unless I'm sharing them with you.

Although, I could be wrong. Who knows, maybe you're an ass to live with?
