Of course one should always remember to disengage a tampon before doing the nasty, or at least tie down the string to the bedpost during sex. However, its a proven fact that an unrestrained tampon can be pushed in during the deed such that it may not be possible to retrieve. Without forceps.

The Habs and Patrick Waaaaaahhhhh, of course.

Seriously, I was very undecided. I ultimately decided to sort of hope the Sox won because I thought that they had made it there more on luck, and because I thought that the 1986 Mets team was so dominant (pitching? Gooden, Darling, Ojeda, Fernandez, with Orosco and McDowell closing; hitting? Straw, Hernandez, Carter, Mitchell; speed? Wilson, Dykstra, Backman) that they would have won for the rest of the decade.

And they should have, dammit. Thinking about all that wasted talent still pisses me off, and don't even get me started about Bobby Bonilla.

I believe crack is cheaper because you can purchase a smaller quantity. A rock is easier to market than trying to weigh and fold thousands of little packets of blow.

And direct injection is a bit more efficient as a delivery mechanism than inhaling powder into the nose. (i.e., a little goes a longer way).

But how is putting a 1000 rocks into a little glacine bag cheaper/easier than measuring out a 1000 portions of blow into those same bags?

sorry about that, I clicked the wrong thing and edited and fucked it all up.

It's not like you 2 are different in your views tho so, easy mix-up.

You can always kegel them out.

I don't know for a fact since I am neither a crack or blow dealer, but look at it this way, grab a pebble, stick it in a bag or vial. Then try to measure sand on a scale without sneezing or partaking down to the most minute measurement and then step on it a few times and then do the folding thingy and it would appear to be more labor intensive.

Don't you start with a large boulder, though? Not a dealer either; I'm just guessing there are similar problems, and that the primary distribution costs for drugs are not related to the cost of cutting, but rather the cost of evading.

Nah, what I've seen in documentaries is that in the manufacturing process, your end product is pebble-like. I guess it depends on whether your fish tank lends itself to mass production. And I'm not thinking crack addicts are too concerned with actual weight, but YMMV.
I think that $10 of crack is a bigger high than $10 of blow. But again, just my opinion I have no objective basis on which to know.

Ozzy has been seriously injured in a crash while riding an ATV.

Where have you seen this?

over 200 counts of involuntary manslaughter have been brought against the nightclub owners and the Great White tour arranger (who lit the pyrotechnic display that night) -- http://www.cnn.com/2003/LAW/12/09/ni...ire/index.html

each charge carries up to a 30 year prison sentence.

Everything you need to know about Crack

http://www.isat.jmu.edu/users/klevic...ara/crack.html

CRACK COCAINE: Unlike freebase cocaine, crack cocaine is not produced with flammable or volatile substances. Instead, the powder is separated in a boiling solution of sodium bicarbonate and water, dried, and cut into "rocks." In comparison, one gram of pure powder will yield 0.89 grams of crack cocaine (Street Drugs). A rock of crack weighs from 0.1-0.5g.

Administration
Crack cocaine is usually smoked in a glass pipe with a bowl that has a fitted mesh screen to suspend the drug (see picture below). Both sides of the bowl are heated with a lighter to vaporize the drug, and the fumes are inhaled by the user. Crack may also be sprinkled in cigarettes and smoked.

Absorption
Because crack fumes are inhaled by the user, the drug infiltrates the large surface area of the lung sacs, requiring only 19 seconds to reach the brain. However, only 30-60% of the dose is absorbed because many of the fumes are lost in the ambient air, and uneven heating can cause inefficient vaporization.

Effects & Dependence
Peak effects from smoking crack appear approximately two minutes after the drug is inhaled. Physiological and psychological effects are sustained for only 30 minutes, in stark contrast to the inhalation method of powder cocaine. Crack also creates more psychological dependence because it is a more pure version of cocaine, and its effects both more intense and felt more quickly.
