Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

If there were a drug that would allow me to be energetic and able to follow through on things I want to do even one day a week I would totally take it. I would probably trade body parts for it.

Back in the day they called these "diet pills." They kept the American housewife of the 50s and 60s focused and productive.

Our wings are not tired.

B12 shots were a thing for a while too, may still be.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

My mother was on "diet pills" for a while when I was a kid ... and one of the girls in college (who had a friend who confiscated the pills and regulated her dosage, since she'd get a little too alert). Later, we just called them "speed".

Ann, that's a ferret.

In the vet field, they are. Although their focus is as much on appetite stimulation as on energy,

I don't know what it was that I complained about to my doctor when I was maybe 18 that resulted in him giving me a B12 shot, but I went home and cleaned all the things because I was speeding. I didn't do it again.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

The few times I've had any stimulants they've made me jittery but not any more likely to actually accomplish things, so the drug I want probably doesn't exist. Just as well, I suppose, since I'm not cut out for shady deals in back alleys. Too lazy for illegallity, that's me.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I think I might have decided on a condo to buy. Still working out the details, but I'm pretty sure about it. It's a one-story townhouse (I don't know if it's still called a townhouse if it's just one story, but I don't know a better word for it), and very cute. One thing I'll definitely need to do is have a ramp installed in the garage, but other than that, all the accessibility looks good.

Congratulations! Is it the one that was far from campus?
