Icewind's Ramblings

This wasn’t meant to get into another rant about advertising . . . but . . . come on . . . this is such BS I cannot help but comment on this. You've probably seen the television ads because I am sure that the ‘small market’ that is Alaska (600,000+ people) cannot be the only place where these things are showing on television every fifteen minutes. The makers of Requip claim it treats sufferers of a condition known as . . . get this . . . Restless Legs Syndrome. I kid you not. There is actually a disease in the medical community called Restless Legs Syndrome (or for those of you with Lazy Tongue Disorder, RLS). I am now totally convinced that the pharmaceutical companies are INVENTING DISEASES just to sell us drugs. In fact, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they actually came up with the drugs first, and then thought up diseases to go along with them. I'll bet you a week's pay that Requip was originally supposed to be another male enhancement drug gone ...

Memorable farts . . . Part One I fell on the ice today and bloodied my kneecap and do not really feel like writing tonight so I’ll bring out one I have been working on for a bit now and give you part of it now. OK, another strange topic for a blog, but you've got to admit - farting is fun! True, there's a time and a place, but in the end, everyone farts, right? Or else they'd explode . . .
