Less than 20 posts left. I think I'll be around for a thread change this time.

So cute! Less cute and more smashingly fabulous is JZ in that vintage dress. Gorgeous!

Huh.

Switzerland's Martina Hingis, five times a grand slam winner and the youngest No1 in modern tennis, revealed yesterday that she had tested positive for cocaine during this year's Wimbledon and was retiring immediately.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Does cocaine help sports performance? or is it just naughty?

Dear god, I think there is CRACK in the McDonald's sausage biscuit. I ate one and instantly wanted about 3 more.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm pretty sure I've read a Dick Francis book where they were giving horses coke, but I don't know that it actually helped.

They asked about that during the NPR story yesterday. The guy basically said it did have some performance enhancing features, but the side effects meant that it wasn't really worth it (paranoia, dry mouth, etc).

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I just reread that one! "Straight"! And, yes, the evil drug seller used a turkey baster to blow cocaine up a horse's nostrils ... and the vet carefully explained that it wouldn't show up in tests ('cause they don't test HORSES for cocaine) and wouldn't really do anything for a horse.

Cocaine can increase focus, and allow you to work through pain, so I think it could be useful in sports. It's basically a super upper, no? (Cocaine is definitely the drug I'm tempermentally susceptible to being addicted to.)
