Adventures in capitalism

Shhhh…look up. Up top. Right sidebar. Just over the dead guy. Yeah, where it says “your ad here.”

There’s going to be ads there.

Unless it’s really irritating, in which case I’ll biff it. Or not irritating enough, in which case I’ll put one of those flashing lime-green banner ads that’s says, “NO SHIT — YOU REALLY ARE THE ONE-MILLIONTH VIEWER!”

I expect to make pennies and pennies on this deal.

Mephedrone (2-methylamino-1-p-tolylpropane-1-one),[2] also known as 4-methylmethcathinone (4-MMC) or 4-methylephedrone, is a stimulant and entactogen drug of the phenethylamine, amphetamine, and cathinone chemical classes. It is sometimes sold as “plant food” online, is reported to be contained in some legal highs and is sometimes sold mixed with methylone, also known as “Bubbles”,[3] “miaow miaow”, or MMCAT.[4]

Nice.

Mephedrone has recently been reported as having been sold as “ecstasy” in the Australian city of Cairns, along with ethylcathinone,[7][8][9] and has also been reported in Europe and the United States.[10][11] It is reportedly currently manufactured in China.[12]

According to the company Crew2000, intended effects include increased alertness, euphoria, excitement, feeling of stimulation, urge to talk, and openness.

According to the Darlington Drug and Alcohol Action Team it can cause nose bleeds, nose burns, hallucinations, blood circulation problems, rashes, anxiety, paranoia, fits and delusions.[1] According to the company Crew2000, other problems may include poor concentration, poor short-term memory, tachycardia, palpitations, anxiety, depression, hyperhidrosis, mydriasis, trismus, and bruxism.[3]

The BBC News reported that one person who used the for 18 months, in the end using it twice a week, had to be admitted to a psychiatric unit after he started experiencing hallucinations, agitation, excitability and mania.[13]

The Guardian reported that some users compulsively redose, consuming their whole supply when they only meant to use a small dose.[14]

Of course, y’all are probably seeing totally different ads. It usually picks up on IP. Which is weird, because I go to places like Drudge and Ace and HotAir and I see all British ads.

We had a very brief epidemic of mephedrone addiction when I worked at UW-Madison.

I think it was so brief because it makes such quick hideous work of it’s users.

Ooh. Team Beachbody (I’m not making this up) want’s me to join. I hope you get payola for the click cuz I signed up with my pr0n name (Mastadon).

Mastodons or mastodonts (Greek: μαστός “breast” and οδούς, “tooth”) were large tusked mammals. Heh, breasts and tusks.

Anyway, there’s no SuzeO thing in my add (I’m making this up). I just want to give a shout out to the dudes and dudettes who invented benzodiazepines.

Well, see, I didn’t realize it was a chemical thing. I thought it was mechanical — from the physical roughage in the fruit. I figured the juice was therefore safe.

Easily the worst Christmas ever.

All I see is the Your Ad Here. Could be industrial grade ad blocking that I have going on. Or, you know, monochrome and whatnot.

As somebody who’s gone back and forth over the ads thing, I never saw the value of making other people I don’t like rich (like BlogAds) or making other other people rich (AdSense). So, until I am selling my own products, let’s just say, “weasel resteses”.

I came up with a nifty advertising thingee back in 2006 (that it seems everybody’s trying to do now). One ad a page, I say! Text links are for suckers! Use SSH and tunnel into people’s servers and use their hosting plans without their knowledge!

Also note: Milk of Magnesia can, depending on dose, vary between ‘settle your stomach’ and ‘get outta my goddamn way right the hell now!’ Prunes have dihydrophenylisatin, which can definitely have startling effects on one’s GI tract, but the meds used in preparation for a colonoscopy are in a whole new neighbourhood. I just hit the big four-oh, so it’s time for someone to take a shufti up there. From what I hear the results from the soda laxatives will leave your tripes squeaky-clean and lemon-fresh, but in the process your eyes will roll to the back of your head, you will babble a stream of glossolalia and you may see Jesus while one of the spasms runs through you (say ‘hi’ from me.) Bonus: they have to inflate your bowels to give the colonoscope wiggle-room, which afterwards rewards you and everyone around you with the sort of alarming flatus that sounds like someone ripping a piece of canvas in two.

I get more than my fair share of the colonoscopy fun since colon cancer runs rampant in my family. You really ought to get Versed for the prep, in my opinion. Instead, I have to tape a note to the bathroom mirror that says “It beats dying, that’s why”, chug the entire bottle of calcium citrate, and remind myself of the large vat of margarita jello I made to get me through the No Real Food phase. I’ve got it pretty much down to a science …
