As some of you may know, I'm an insomniac.
When I can't sleep, my medication is 20mg's of Temazepam.
My supply run done! And there is no Temazepam in India...
So, what does one do? One goes and finds the next best alternative.
The best "Pam" I could come up with was Diazepam, which is basically valium.
Now, it just so happened that the last few days here in Goa have been a bit off-season and a bit boring, so I decided, for scientific purposes only mind you, to see what would happen if you took diazepam...but didn't go to bed!
Well:
10mg's didn't do nothin'. But, me weighing in at 84kg's, that's probably no surprise.
Eventually I got to 50mg's of valium and ten pints of beer.
And that's when the problems started.
I generally stumble around whereever I'm going as it is, but with this mixture of diazapam diluted with said mixture of alcohol, I was stumblig around a lot more than usual.
And then I fell.
Normally when one falls, one either sticks out a hand to hurt one's wrist or one sticks out a chin and breaks a jaw. Not me though!
I just fell forward and caught my full 85 kilos (+1 kilo for beer allowance) on my knees. And do they ever hurt.
So, I couldn't even stumble back to my hostel, but sort of rigidly staggerered like C3PO on drugs, cursing and telling the taxi drivers where to stick their cabs.
And then...
As I entered the porch of the hostel I was confronted by the geese.
Two of the most vicious looking birds ever to guard a building since the time of Julius Ceasar.
And they were sqauking and flapping their wings and making quite the fuss.
I'm no coward, but my natural instinct was to flee and go and sleep on the beach...but my legs were so sore, that I could hardly move.
So...
I turned to face them.
Their evil beaks were spitting venom and blood and Satan's moisture, their wings were flapping up a size three tornado. But I stood my ground.
And so did they. They were not going to move.
'To hell with it', I thought. If they're not moving, I'm not moving.
So they flapped and I started stamping.
They squacked and I started shouting: "NA BEAN WAS A CHAT YA MORONIC SATAN SPAWN" jumping up and down and flapping my arms like I was doing a Scottish fling.
Eventually the cool-headedness and frenzy of my attack made the evil geese retreat.
And on a side note, when I now limp by them during day light hours, I give them nasty glances, just so they know who's boss!

Originally posted by gambit3I find a nine-iron is very effective.
I believe Rambo would just kick those geese out of the way. Next time kick them in the chest like you are trying to kick a fifty yard field goal. I am kidding about that kick. Unless they are attacking you such a kick might get you into some legal trouble.
Originally posted by Moldy CrowApparently, you haven't ever encountered a hell bent flock of geese. They would take that nine iron and wrap it around you and your buddy Chuck Norris's scrawny necks, put their vice grips on your balls and slap you with one of their wings and make a big hole in one.😵

Rambo? Ah ha ha ha hah!
Originally posted by cashthetrashSo you like to try new things. perhaps you could also give something else a shot, just for something completely different. how about a totally drug free body? yes I mean to include alcohol, nicotine, tannin, caffeine, etc. in that encompassment. you never know, it might just do wonders for your libido. literary/entertainment wise it may not be such a good idea though. you may not have anything to whine about and then the RHP forum would become about as interesting as five sheets of soggy white blotting paper.
so I decided, for scientific purposes only mind you,
Originally posted by moweutUmm, I'm pretty sure he tried that the first 12 or so years. If he tried it again, it really wouldn't be completely different, would it? And it definitely wouldn't be Shav.
