Don't make me bring back the Ashlee Simpson ensemble.

What the... wow. I certainly didn't expect to see this when I signed on today. I appreciate the concern and I'm sorry if I caused some people to worry, but I'm alive. I read various reports of individuals who safely consumed the same exact thing I did. Also, I made sure to calculate the levels of DXM and acetaminophen I was taking in. I'm ingested a lot more acetaminophen in the past than I did yesterday. I'm not saying it's a good idea; not in the slightest. However, in my later teen years, I took a shitload of hydrocodone with acetaminophen and survived. Back then, I was really depressed and didn't give a fuck if I died. I even chased the pills with a quarter gallon or more of vodka on more than one occasion. Really, this was nothing compared to that. I actually had a really good trip that lasted approximately 6 hours. After I started to come down, fatigue set in heavily and I fell asleep, which is why i wasn't online at all. I feel fine today... still a little tired, with fleeting nauseous feelings, but otherwise, I'm good to go. I probably won't robo-trip again for a while, and next time, it will be with an acetaminophen free formula. So... how is everyone on this lovely June morning?

Since I've seen talk of board mergers in several other threads, why not post all suggestions here for quick reference? I personally don't care if any boards are merged or not, but if the admins are wanting to "trim the fat" so to speak, here are a few quick and probably obvious suggestions I just came up with after looking over the board for 10 seconds: - General Wrestling and Misc. Promotions should be merged. They're basically the same thing anyway, right? Maybe Puro, too, since no one posts there. Throw in Tape Trading since it's not used enough to warrant its own dedicated forum. That's 4 down to 1 right there. Eh... that's really all I see that would help. I figured I'd have more suggestions, but that's a start.

After 3 hours of deliberation (well, mostly internet and video game related distraction, I just drank the whole bottle in 2 big gulps. My condition: 125 pounds or so, have barely slept in 2 weeks, have been up for previous 3 days sans a 3 hour nap. According to the mg/kg formula on Erowid, the dosage combined with my weight results in a 5.2 mg/kg ratio, with 2.5-7.5 mg/kg being typical for the second plateau. I was hoping for 3rd, but I high 2nd plateau trip should be fun and will help prepare me for a possible visit to P3 in the future, since I have only tried DXM maybe 3 times before, with the last time being a year and a half ago at the very least. My delirium combined with the DXM should make for an interesting combination. As always (sober or not), I have hundreds of good video games ready (I'm feelin' old school 2D Sonic today) as well as lots of music and some good DVDs. I'll also be on AIM (if I can get it to work) if anyone wants to fuck with me.

Me? No wife-beater or tough guy attitude, but I have the height and weight down.

150 pounds at 5'8" is far from scrawny. I was 175 pounds at that height and I was told by the doctor that I was 35 pounds overweight. It wasn't muscle, either, I had a big gut and such. Not a big deal, nor is it truly relevant, but I felt the need to mention that.

I'm seriously considering drinking the contents (7/8 full, estimated) of this bottle of Vicks 44, but I'm not sure that the trip (if any) would be worth it. Stats: DXM- 7.5 mg per 5 mL teaspoon. Total size of bottle (remember, it's not full)- 8 fluid ounces, or 236 mL. Also, there is 162.5 mg of acetaminophen per 5 mL. Shit.

Really? I hadn't seen him around, but he was active 2 weeks ago. I can't fucking keep track of all these posters leaving and such. Somehow, I end up missing all the major departures.

Holy shit, LANCE STORM?! As a Lance fanatic, I was hoping he'd come out to confront Jericho on their match at One Night Stand, but I didn't expect him to actually have a match. I'm 99.99999999% sure, however unfortunate, that Storm's match was most likely a dark match rather than a bout that will be aired on Heat. As for the rest, I recommend making a note of the Teddy Hart vs. Harry Smith match. Bret Hart's nephew (I think) vs. British Bulldog's son. As a bigtime Hart Foundation mark, I'd love to see those two feud on WWE TV down the line.

Looks great. The E3 demo was good enough for me, someone who was indifferent to Sonic, to want to own the game, and Rush (along with other titles) made the DS my #1 most wanted system. The dual screen gameplay was flawlessly executed, and the game was just plain fun. I've actually decided to play through my old Sonic games while waiting for Rush. That pretty much limits it to Sonic Adventure (Dreamcast) and Sonic 2 (Genesis) since I can't find my Game Gear, but there are emulators for all the Genesis games, and I could always pick up the Sonic Mega Collection Plus fon Xbox for $20.

Based on last year's roster, only P.J. Brown survived the season unscathed. Magloire (82 games played last year, 23 this year) was out for nearly four months, and three of their starters from last season were gone before they could contribute this year (Davis, Wesley, Lynch, Armstrong to a smaller extent). It was a complete turn-over with Dickau, Nailon, Claxton and Smith - three unproven players and a rookie - taking those spots. It's a product of bad management over bad play. Thanks for filling me in. Obviously, I don't really follow the Hornets, and I maybe saw 1 of their games all year, so this is news to me. I can see how the new roster combined with facing more Western Conference opposition could cause them to end up with that dreadful record.

Juanes is the hispanic Maroon 5... not that that's a bad thing.

Wow. That's about the funniest thing I've ever imagined. I was going to go see this anyway since it has football, wrestling, and Adam Sandler, but now there's no excuse.

LOL... When the Hornets relocated to the Western Conference, everyone was saying they'd be out of the playoffs. I knew it'd be tougher to make it in the West, but I don't think anyone expected an Eastern Conference playoff team to drop to the second worst record in the league, behind even Charlotte's new expansion team, the Bobcats.

No. The MVP is based on regular season accomplishments, period. Some of the best players in the league don't make the playoffs. If Kevin Garnett had a season like he did last year, would you begrudge him the award since he missed the playoffs? What if the Heat didn't make it this year, or the Spurs? Or what if Shaq or Duncan bombed in the playoffs? That wouldn't take away from their individual regular season achievements. VX- I believe that Phoenix can win a game or two. Then again, I had hoped/expected that they would win game 2 or 3, and that the series would go 6 or 7 games anyway. But as good as the Spurs are at home, most teams win 1 or 2 games after falling behind 3-0 when they get this deep into the playoffs.

Y'all can't step to this.

What is J*Wing, exactly? I've gathered that it's an unofficial TSM offshoot, but who started it, and why? Whomever it was probably doesn't like me anyway, but I figured I'd inquire.

Awesome. I don't know about you, but despite the 5-6 hours of makeup which would suck, I'd rather be a zombie. Moaning and eating flesh + a likely gruesome fat= instant win. I need to get in on some Hollywood productions while I'm out here. I always see ads for extras, and I could always play Bud Bundy in a parody porn.... Hmmm....

Quoted for agreement.

As I said, I don't like realistic racers normally, so I haven't played any GT games since #2, and I don't have a PS2 anyway. Maybe someone else here can tell you, but every review I've read states that Forza is at least on par with GT4. Forza, however, has actual damage (detailed enough so that the paint color that shows up on your car after a run-in with an opponent matches the color of the opponent's car) and online play, which should be a big plus if you're into that sort of thing like I am.

Come on, now. I know more of you motherfuckers like cars. Kotz? For a game that was hyped as a Gran Turismo 4 killer, and the reviewers agree that it does top GT4 or at least equals it, I expected a lot more responses. I got at least 20 at the other 3 boards I posted at about the game. There must be someone. I want to race other TSM members online.

Wait... When did I post this shit?

I thought everyone already knew about this. Still, new Fire Pro= orgasm.

Eh, I like them. I've been a longtime EGM reader, and I haven't missed an issue since #99 (October 1997), and Gam Informer is the only other gaming magazine I've bothered reading regularly. That's got to count for something.
