Crap I lost my post… let me hit the high points
First the serious/sincere stuff:
Mr Quack, I appreciate the humor and tone with which you came back to this thread with. It says a lot about you. Clearly a healer in more ways than one. Good on ya’ mate.
LOL out at emergen-c as a gateway drug.
Some stuff about your electrolyte elixir being nourishing for both Yin and Yang but a poke at you about your choice of Taurine as in okay your are no pill pusher but I got my eye on you.
Some sentences about why I tend to be a nervous Nelly about the miracle pill pushers. A mention of a summer training with Kick Boxer as an example. A mention about living/training very close to the original Golds Gym. Some talk about how racquetball playing and later swimming put me in the sauna and steam room with the strenght/body builders. People talk. Phone numbers but not names are exchanged. I joke that even the natural body builder have running accounts at GNC which I call a pill store. Speaking of Pill stores I mention that I worked five years here:
http://www.earthbeamfoods.com
a good size, independently owned health food store in business with the same owner since 1971. I brag that when I worked there the bulk herb section was larger than the vitamin section. We even had the good stuff like Sassafras which the Fed’s banned in 1960. External use only, nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
A few tales of things like trying to run a 10k (not my best sport) after a 3 day juice fast, or being told by my running buddies I had to stop eating raw garlic clovers if I wanted to keep running with them.
My experience taking an herbal energy tablet that had a good amount of Ma Huang before a martial arts promotion test. Not fun at all and I support the banning of it. When I went home and laid down my heart was playing hop scotch and four square. Not a pleasant sensation. For those how don’t know Ma Huang is Ephedra which is now banned as too dangerous.
A bunch of stuff about yin and yang, tao te ching, pulse diagnosis, triple heater, five elements blah blah blah.
I mention that my friends called me Kwai Chang Cain (some of you younger will need to look that up) putting me clearly in the wussy nature freak category.
A few notes on my current supplement regime given my wussy nature.
I sum it up with: See Quackery spoken here.
Then I join the regularly scheduled program and mention that a single malt is probably an OK thing, I think most traditional things are, and mention my vice of really dark, bitter chocolate. I consider this a supplement and have one or two squares most days. Not every day but most days.
I wrapped up with saying that when I did drink I enjoyed Widmer Hefeweizen an unfiltered wheat beer. With a slice o’ lemon.
Oh yeah one more thing I talked about, going from a fairly strict macrobiotic diet to a ‘college’ diet of pizza slices (two slices folded like a sandwich and eaten on the run between classes,) Peanut M&Ms (they got peanuts in them they are good for you) Twizzlers (fruit obviously) and hydrate with Mountain Dew. Just the thing for 14 hour days in the computer lab. Just the thing for gaining 65 pounds in six years. Of which I lost 55 of in the first couple of years after college.
I make a joke about selling my trademarked diet for $1.50 and you don’t have count calories because I have never seen a calorie so I wouldn’t know what to count.
Now I’m posting this before my Firefox spontaneously combusts again on this beta version of Linux I’m using.
NQ, your dinner sounds good. What do you play 701? Do you play on Bristle or wussy plastic? My best round is laughable so I won’t ask you yours and I play on wussy plastic so I don’t have to do math in my head.
I started drinking Widmer back in the mid '80s before they started bottling it. I’m not much of a beer drinker now, but back then I much preferred their Bock.
