    I've heard what @Songbird said stated about heroin mostly. I can't imagine being interested in cocaine. I'm hyper as fuck as it is. That's why drink and smoke are my optimal choices.

    And I don't think the Oasis song is about cocaine. I think it's just about getting up in the morning. Which sounds completely lame, but it's a kickass song.

    The song is about cocaine ... mirror and razor blade means one thing and yes, all your dreams are made. lol there's nothing like it.

    It's one of the best rock 'n' roll songs of all time. Perfect for a playlist at the gym or when you're running.

    ESPN President John Skipper Continues To Lie About His Firing

    That was the 2nd article. First one pretty much said the same. Don't know if there are other articles, would think he talks about it
    on his podcast or radio. Never listed to his show and don't know anyone who does, other than a couple here who get angered
    by him and would think he's probably more popular in SEC/ACC land.

    I can't imagine how that piece could be the basis for a viable libel suit. It's clear that Travis is speculating, based upon the evidence, that Skipper is lying. If that provides ground for a viable libel claim, then we might as well not have a First Amendment.

    Does smoking relax you? I can never understand that. I used to smoke socially, pretty much stopped when bars made you go outside to smoke. Cigs would
    not relax me, they'd pick me up. but i know to most smokers they say it relaxes them. have a buddy i work with who never smoked but didn't realize nicotine
    is a stimulant because he always heard smokers say it relaxes them. did a search and says it does also act as a sedative. never felt that way to me, but effects
    are different on different people.

    Haha. Yes the weed definitely relaxes, although not wet.

    It's 100% about cocaine.

    Absolutely. The coke dealer was going to extort him, just like they framed Ryan Braun.

    Not to go all OOP on you but you need to work on your reading comprehension and look what I was responding to.
