494: Big Meanie

[armenta]

I got a friend of mine high in college for the first time. This kid absolutely freaked out. He started running around, called his girlfriend cause he thought he was dying. I was trying to talk him down, but to no avail. I actually know a few people where weed really messes them up. The same kid two years later tried it again with the same effect. I think this cop had the same kind of extreme anxiety reaction.

I just wanted to comment on the haters that are out there. I think that what it is.. is that there is a huge lack of respect for others, but when people attack one of the people that not only is not a hater, but probably one of the biggest supporters of new people and making people feel comfortable in the chat and in paltalk (talking about Rhian) then I know why Keith is upset. The last thing that Rhian wants is to be sick... and anyway, she doesn't need to be sick to get attention from loyal KATG fans, I hope that it goes into remission and that she can go back to work doing what she really loves.

anyway, I said this on another thread, but I will say it again. I love the show, but also love the community of invisible friends that I have. I count Rhian as one of those friends and while I have never met anyone from the show... I think that 90% are great and maybe some of the younger listeners (no not talking about you Sexy Tater, you are more mature than most) can learn a little about life.

One thing that I have learned is this.. it's easy to be a hater, easy to be a critic, easy to tear something down and it takes a little more character to be the opposite, but you'll feel better when you can support someone, like KATG, like Rhian. Personally, I have been a listener since almost the beginning and I love that Keth, who gets so upset... will respond to someone being a hater.. via email with a "ok, thanks for listening" and let it go. That takes big balls.

big hugs Rhian, and for that matter, for everyone else that smiles and laughs out loud (oh... sorry LOL) during the 5 plus hours a week that we share together through our earbuds.

Christ the friggin' dairy farmers can barely afford their own fucking milk at that price. Talk about big meanies.

Oh well it's nice to know that the farmer can piss in his own milk vats though...

I was also wondering about the bit about vegetables being more expensive. I mean yeah, they cost more up front. But take Chemda's $1 tomato. How many slices can you get out of that. Now, how many slices would your average cheap burger have on it? Same with lettuce, a head might run you more than some large fries, but it would also last for several meals, right? This assumes that the person at least has a fridge to keep the veggies fresh, of course ...

One other issue to consider regarding the cost of fresh produce is the shelf-life in comparison to cheap boxed food and frozen food. Those things will remain in your pantry much longer than fresh produce will, but they are also much less healthy, have tons of preservatives and sodium content, etc. A lot of families who are stretching their paychecks have to make their food last a few weeks before they get paid again--fresh food isn't going to last that long.

For a guy who doesn't have a house, he managed to set up a Ustream account. If this isn't him, I feel bad for the poor bastard. But this guy seem s to be pretty excentric so I am assuming it is the assbag we all love to hate. http://ustream.tv/channel/nick-starr

Fuuuuuuuuck yoooooouuuuuu! And welcome to the forums.

Nick has to sign up for every web 2.0 thing and then pretend he is a tech pioneer. Of course, he has to sign up to everything using his pseudonym, making him all too easy to track...

It is Nick, he's bragging up all kinds of shit, talking about his podcasting career with NLO and D&D. So have fun tormenting him.

no they can detect that and also adding skimmed milk/whey powder (sodium content), best way is to buy a cryoscope and water it down to 530.

/shit i know far too much about this....
