Man-tears that is all.

That was great, Beck. It reminded me of a time some years back when there would be these spam messages that would have a small paragraph full of gibberish at the end, as if someone was playing with a Magnetic Poetry set and just threw it all in there.

It also reminds me of this:

Paul F. Tompkins - Google Voice Transcripts

I get all sorts of spam and unsolicited offers through my clever-name email. This one I found particularly entertaining.

No you will buy more Sigur Ros albums! When they finally get around to putting out another one...

Presenting Cock Rock Ambient: famous rock songs slowed down into a wondrous, ambient wash of sound.

Actually, cocaine sounds like a pretty good solution to a toothache. It constricts blood vessels to reduce inflammation and it is a local anaesthetic. (And methamphetamines -- a stimulant -- seems almost logical to treat depression.)

Well to be honest, that would cure your toothache pretty instantaneously - for a while anyway.

In other news, somehow I missed the announcement that Michael Bay is doing a reboot of our beloved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Only instead of being ooze-generated mutants they evolved through natural selection over millions of years in a non-earth environment because they're aliens. It's just a minor change chill out!

Once again The Onion is years ahead of the real news.

I hope they keep the same theme music at least...

Hey Par! What would you do if these were among your options as a prescribing doctor?

More here, including White Pine & Tar cough syrup with chloroform, and methamphetamine antidepressants. Fun!
