Oh for chrissakes.  I've ignored you and your nastiness for a couple weeks now in the hope that it would eventually start to annoy me less, and so that I wouldn't get an ivan-style smackdown from the mods.  I've now reached the limits of my patience.

You know that he doesn't care for you.  You know that he's not alone in that sentiment.  For the love of Pepe, why do you continue to antagonize him?  Is it cluelessness that drives your behavior, or is it willful ignorance of others?  Either way, give it up...it's getting tiresome.  When he grows so sick of your behavior that he eventually taps the vitriol keg, I will cheer him on until I'm blue in the face.  In the meantime, grow up!

He follows me around in every topic posting his little bullshit insults. I'm going to respond appropriately, I've ignored him enough. Don't like it? ignore me. I'm tired of his bullshit, and I'm not going to deal with it.

Nope, no sources. I made it all up.



Why am I not surprised.

Gosh, should I even adress this asshattery?

Oh, well. Why not?

The idea that taking a couple of aspirin in combination with alcohol is somehow dangerous to a healthy adult is a myth. Unless you already have gastrointestinal bleeding, or some other pre-existing condition, using aspirin to mitigate the effects of drinking will not cause any damage. Your statement that "Alcohol and aspirin really aren't good together" is misleading and false and implies that aspirin and alcohol are toxic when combined. They are not.

The caveats on OTC medications cover extreme cases. Do you know how much aspirin and alcohol you would need to consume to screw up your stomach to the point of bleeding? A lot. A lot, a lot, a lot. A whole bunch, I guess is the point I'm trying to make. Huge amounts. Vast quantities. You would need to achieve levels of consumption that would stagger your imagination.

Acetominophen is another matter. The worst that aspirin does is act as a corrosive on your stomach and intestines. Acetominophen is actually dangerous, because it affects liver function. Alcohol puts a strain on the liver, so in combination with acetominophen can actually cause liver damage. However, even so, a healthy liver will not be ruined if you pop a Tylenol and have a glass of wine.

Everything is harmful in extremes. Even water. But the idea that it's dangerous for a healthy adult to take a couple of asprin before drinking a few beers is a myth.


Got a source saying the quantities or amounts of each you would have to consume, because right now it seems to me like you're just pulling it out of your ass? Since I've read articles about the synergy of Alcohol and aspirin I've been lead to believe it has a noteworthy effect, which would imply what you're saying is false, and I'm going to trust a published article over you, unless you have something to back it up.

You said it was a myth, which is a lie, so I posted a source proving to you that it is not. Nice job, not knowing what you're talking about, and then trying to weasle out of it though, I appreciate the effort.

I know acetometaphin isn't aspirin. Aspirin is Assalyic Acid, or something like that. Acetometaphin is Tylenol, it was just part of the paragraph I copied, and I forgot to cut it out.

I try not to be, but there are limits to what one can take.

Shall I start up the tear machine?

Aside from an increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding (because both alcohol and aspirin are hard on the old stomach lining), there is no evidence, or even supposition, that the two taken together are any more dangerous than either taken alone.

You are very good at spreading myths. I hope you're on our side.

"If you combine alcohol with aspirin, you face an increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. And if you use alcohol and acetaminophen (Tylenol, others), you increase your risk of liver damage. In fact, the Food and Drug Administration requires all over-the-counter pain relievers and fever reducers to carry a warning label advising those who consume three or more drinks a day to consult with their doctors before using the drug."

That's a source, I'm sure I could easily find more. There's also the fact that it's been in every book concerning pharmaceuticals I've ever looked at. If it's a myth, it's a well published one.

I so thought this topic was going to be about computer mouses. I'm disapointed.

Anyway, I've been luck enough to not have mice in any of the houses I've lived in since I was 3.

Aspirin and alcohol really aren't good together.

136
Is this before or after they created May Day?

Obviously after because May day has been around longer than the fall of the soviet union.

137
OCD much?

You only think that's bad because you've never seen how long it takes me to brush my teeth.

138
Black people are better at sports because the secret Soviet communists that took over the lost city of Atlantis after the fall of the USSR steal them during the night and enhance them so that their success can create racial stereotypes and myths and bring down the great western world.

Evonus, would you please consider looking things up before blithely posting stuff about things you know jack about? Please? PLEASE?

Now I have to do blood-pressure-lowering meditation for a few minutes.


Hey Ivan, could you please try adding something to the actual discussion at hand instead of steering things off topic? Please? PLEASE?

Labor Day=May Day-Anarchist Connotations, Pagan Traditions, and bad memories of union activism.

May day was started by the communists. Labor day was started by the capitalist/socialist countries. That's the main difference from what I remember.

They have a support group for that sort of affliction and, I might add, a retreat for Big Dick get-togethers (Total Dicks of course are allways welcome)


If I was ever in the area I would stay there just because that name is so innuendotastic.

I hate applying for new jobs. I never have any good references to give. I've spent too much time working in family-owned businesses. Makes it hard to give a reference who isn't related. The vast majority of people I've worked with in the last 10 years were related somehow.

* Has underling lick underscores

... nope, nothin' special there ... I don't get it.
Why in the world would someone want their underscores licked ?

The same reason people have sex with horses and post videos on youtube. It's that rebellious free feelings.

I've always been really bad at multiple choice.

Hmmm, this poll did not turn out the way I'd hoped.  :-(
