Sittmoy's Cursed Shroud
Who would have guessed that eventually skill enhancing garments would be available to the general consumer, not just the level 42 wizard and/or paladin? Not me. But now, for a limited time, you can purchase the Q-link. Made specifically for improving your golf game, it also enhances all sorts of other bodily characteristics. Just look at this. I certainly don't assume it's just a bunch of confusing medical jargon made to sound smart and thus legitimate. But, with my luck, I know that as soon as I purchase this item, a small screen will appear before my face that will tell me that the pendant is cursed and that I will never be able to remove it, causing me slow damage (like poison) and reduced dexterity. Such is the case in my life, which is indeed as real as any RPG.
Beyond this, may I suggest reading the latest and greatest article from Minnesota's own Darryn Beckstrom at the Badger Herald. Subject: abstinence. Purpose: Beckstrom's attempted cover-up of dirty promiscuity.
Also, I attended an animal research debate yesterday. Albeit somewhat interesting, as there are valid points on both sides of the argument, I can't get over the idea of someone fighting so hard for animal rights when humans are in all sorts of situations worldwide (and right here) are agruably in equally terrible situations. I couldn't help but imagine that when this guy was in the midst of speaking of monkey torture that he was actually talking about convenient store workers... "they have a social network, a sense of suffering, and are confined to small cages for their entire lives." I also think that the animal rights activists are protesting and threatening the wrong people. Money is made available for all sorts of stupid research that involves invasive and sometimes harmful procedures (making new artificial sugars, testing new useless drugs, etc.) not by the university professors, but by companies that can do as they wish. They speak of a cost/benefit ratio to make decisions about the need for animals in research, but the benefit is not human, it's monetary. Animal rights fighters: protest the powers that be, not the plebs that do. Have a beef slab as well, for delicious enjoyment.

ah, "subtle energy," and of course there are all the "doctors" quoted on there... D.C.'s... yes, subtle indeed... subtle ways to get your money into their wallets. But most of all, i like the fact that it can also help horses calm down and get "on their game." did you know the common "stable vices" of:
Wind Sucking
Box Walking
Biting
Weaving?
you didn't? well then, you're not into horses as much as you pretended to be at that party last summer, are you now...
yeah, i read "becky's" column, as i call her... in bed... anyway, she's right. we should use DARE as a model... a program that's the perfect model of how NOT to teach adolescents something. ... well... i'll just cut and paste from WIKIPEDIA, which was recently shown (in "Nature" no less!) to be of near-equivalence to Britannica in terms of accuracy... quotes:
"A 2003 study conducted by the U.S. Government Accountability Office found that kids who go through D.A.R.E., and other similar anti-drug programs in school, are no less likely to end up becoming drug users in high school. The GAO study found that D.A.R.E. is actually associated with increased levels of drug use among suburban youth. Another report, by David J. Hanson Ph.D, entitled "Drug Abuse Resistance Education: The Effectiveness of DARE", cites the U.S. Surgeon General, the National Academy of Science, and the U.S. Department of Education among others, in categorizing the DARE program as "ineffective". Furthermore, Hanson's report also suggests that the DARE program actually increases the likelihood of drug use: Studies conducted by Dr. Dennis Rosenbaum of the University of Illinois at Chicago, and the California Legislative Analyst's office, reported that tracked suburban students who participated in D.A.R.E. were more likely than others to drink alcohol, smoke tobacco and take illegal drugs. Additionally, administrators of the D.A.R.E. program have tried to suppress research by the U.S. Bureau of Justice Assistance and the Research Triangle Institute (RTI) that found "that DARE simply didn't work". A Federal judge ruled that D.A.R.E. had sought to "suppress scientific research" critical of its program and had "attempted to silence researchers at the Research Triangle Institute, editors at the American Journal of Public Health, and producers at Dateline NBC." Some reporters, like those at Rolling Stone magazine, who have written negative stories on D.A.R.E. have claimed that they were the victims of harassment and intimidation as a result. Sources, such as Students for Sensible Drug Policy, DRCNet, and Drugsense, have accused D.A.R.E. of distributing misleading and inaccurate information about drugs and drug use."
also... the funny part...:
"Parents visiting classrooms when D.A.R.E. is in session have been alarmed when watching the role-playing exercises offered by the program. They complain that during these skits, a majority of the students wanted to play the character who was high (that role being the most fun and providing the most chance to be creatively zany). This calls into question whether D.A.R.E. really convinces its participants that drugs are harmful and unpleasant."
but i digress. overall, i too think we should teach kids that "saying no to hot, wet, bareback, double-penetration 4-on-4 group sodomy experiences is the same as saying no to awkward premature ejaculation in your pants with that special someone who doesn't mind all your acne, including the acne on your back," because we're talking about saving the future of america, people! the future! of america! geez. save your premature ejaculation for your horse, who doesn't mind, now that you've given him the Q-link to ease his troubled horse-mind.
my god... what would the animal rights people say?
On the contrary, it sounds like DARE actually teaches kids about the excitement and humor drugs can provide, just like sex-ed teaches kids that taking your pants off every now and again can be quite rewarding. Beckstrom should simply advocate keeping children in sealed off concrete rooms until they are 25 or so. Actually, I think what she suggests is already being done... kids knock each other up and give eash other rashes and eye sores for reasons that no sex-ed curriculum can explain. The best lesson is to have say, geriatrics and sexually deformed people have sex, just to show how disgusting it can be.
