East coast attitude.

Members don't see this ad.

So I have been casually reading this forum for a while, I have noticed that the majority of people who post seem to be from the east coast. Ask about programs from the east coast, asking about rank lists, very anal retentive, etc... I have very rarely read about Midwest or West coast residents/applicants bombarding this forum with a lot of questions. So what the deal with east coast people, are you guys just a little more high strung or whats the deal?

Yeah, youre right, Slim.

Got my wife on a stationary bike outside my double-wide, powering my black & white TV.

And the perfusionists down here raise ducks to power the pump for CABGs.

Its OK, stuffy dude. I prefer a dip of Red Seal Wintergreen Finecut and a big mudhole for my monster truck to your arrogant-type anyway.

hey Jet and MilMD

Do you all still drink moonshine down there?

 

[TheSandMan]

My dad still tells stories of making shine when he was a kid (Up North!) His parents were from portugal and old habits die hard. The kids would go to the local bicycle store, and get the old rubber tubes from the tires. Their job was to keep a fire going continuously burning rubber inner tubes to overpower the smell of distilate (he says it was a pretty strong distinct smell).
I'm sure it made for some crazy parties! Yikes!

All kidding aside, I was at the liquor store the other day, and guess what I found???? MOON SHINE!!!

HAHAHAHAHA

All kidding aside, I'd like to take a shot of moonshine some day...never seen it before.

On another note, my brother-in-law has a bottle of vodka from Russia...stuff looks like antifreeze....kinda light-green...supposedly makes you hallucinate. 😱

Uh-oh. 10 bucks says that ain't vodka.
Green in color, hallucination properties, and from Russia.............Sounds like absinthe to me.

PS. Let us know how it goes.

Yeah, definitely sounds like absinthe. Make sure you're in a safe place if you try any, Jet! I've heard some crazy stories about that stuff.

I agree.
It's legal on St Maarten, and 2 of my roomates decided to see what the hype was all about. I guess one of them woke up with his underwear on backwards, and a piece of floss still in his mouth... the point being, if it is absinthe, exercise responsibility dude.
Let us know if you do indulge, I always like hearing the "dude, you're not gonna believe what happened" stories.

whats absinthe, dudes?

Whats in it?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absinthe

The highlights: It's a spirit made out of various herbs and flowers, including wormwood (Artemisia absinthium). The wormwood is supposed to give it hallucinogenic properties. It's illegal to buy, sell, or import it into the U.S. and many other countries.

Hmmmmm.....

thanks for the link, Andy.

I think I'll stick to Don Julio margaritas.

 

[bigeyedfish]

I've tried it a few years ago in college. We tried the whole sugar and water thing, and while it's pretty cool how it turns white, it still tastes like ass. So we ended up just shooting it. Felt like regular old alcohol to me, nothing special, just tasted worse. toulouse lautrec can have that s hit. I'll stick with gray goose.

I did wake up with my underwear on backwards, but that wasn't out of the ordinary back in the day.

Absinthe has a little chemical called thujone in it, which is a stimulant/hallucinogen. In fact, during WWII, hitler had a purified form of beta-thujone he gave to his troops before major battles because it made the troops "seem to be maddened by the fury of war."
Also, a movie that came out last year (Euro Trip) had a scene where a few people drank it, and had a crazy night.
Anyhow, here's a link about the sauce.

I used to live in Portugal, where you can still get a taste of the ol' "absinto" if you chose the right shady establishment. Rumor they tell is that it'll make you dumb, crazy, and blind.

Be careful with it. If you find yourself in Portugal, go with SuperBock - it's simply one of the best beers that I've had. And get some port wine.

Why don't you get some, save it for the next house throw-down you have and give it to the CRNA that blind-sided Goldberged on you in the yard. But you did pull a reversal Matt Hughes on him so technically ya'll are on level ground.....But you know it'd be funny if he didn't have to work for a few days..

Take pics if you do.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAA

had forgot all about that....frikkin Brian the CRNA ruined a nice white Banana Republic sweater....its all good....I made him tap out.

BTW, have you seen the hour long Best of UFC 2005?

Awesome.

Relived the Hughes vs Tregg once again. Hughes goes from an inadvertent nut-shot that stuns him, Tregg bounces and starts beating him to a pulp....somehow he flips around for the rear naked choke.

Great recaps.

I was in the Czech Republic last fall and one of my buddies brought back a bottle of Absynthe. It is supposedly illegal in the states, but according to the customs official (lord knows why he 'fessed up to bringing the stuff back), the law isn't against the active ingredient, which is supposed to be this wormwood stuff, but rather one of the preservatives, and the law against the preservatives is a state-by-state thing. Anyway, Customs let him in with it because it happened not to have the preservative. So far, my buddy is neither blind nor stupid, but the stuff does taste like ass.

I toured Europe twice last year, and among young people from the states and canada, there seems to be a lot of lore about this stuff's properties. I've known a few people who tried it and none reported any hallucinations.

 

[rn29306]

Warning: UFC spoiler to follow....Don't read it then complain about spoiling it..

Haven't seen that one yet, but I did catch the PPV UFC "USA vs Canada" on Saturday. Georges St Pierre and David "the Crow" L. got the beat down of a lifetime. Georges won but his head was cut up like he went through several windshields in a MVA. Damn his head looked like poo. Would have liked to have seen him 2 days afterwards. He was bruising during the fight too.
Looks like Hughes will face GSP at some point after his Gracie fight coming up later this spring for the welterweight title.

David got the smack-down beat of him by Rich Ace Franklin to the likes I have never seen. Franklin got him in a choke position several times, but couldn't sink it or either didn't want to. To his credit, David rocked Franklin in one round but he held on and recovered. David had a hematoma the size of grapefruit over his right eye, have never seen one that big before. He had to have gone to an ER or physician friend of his to have that drained.

Quick Swick actually had to fight longer than 15 seconds to get a win this time. Tap out by choke in the first round. He has an impressive collection of vids on his website. http://www.mikeswick.com

Upcoming matches should be good in the next few months.
Hughes vs Gracie - probably the fight of the decade. Hope Hughes whoops ass.
Hughes vs GSP at some point
Griffin vs Ortiz - gotta see this one
Arlofski (sp) vs Sylvia - be interesting to say the least...

Found that Hooters in some locals plays these fights. Hmmmm... Fights, beer, and scantily clad women. I love America.

Great idea, bro. And this dude Brian is a legend-in-his-own-mind so he'll definitely try and down half the bottle.

And I just got a new cell phone with the picture thinghy on it...

hmmmm...

No way...skoal straight all the way!!!
