I used to write poetry
I suspect most of us did, in our youth... it's part of being a teenager, a way of expressing our angst, when <sob> nobody understands us </sob> - most of us grow out of it (mainly because most of know we're crap at it!) If you are really bored, and want to amuse your writing-hand with something simpler... did you ever xome across this[^]? The idea is simple: write a story in exactly six words. Have a go - it's quite fun! Here are a few more: (I've given some of them titles too - that's allowed, and not part of the 6 words.) THE CONCEPTION: She said "Don't!" - But he did... SIX-SHOOTER (aka The Repeater): Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. THE BOMB DISPOSAL INSTRUCTOR Now, just snip this red wire... THE DIY NOVEL: "Really?" he said. "What happened next?" Of course, one could always re-write "The Conception" in the first-person female, and re-title it accordingly: THE BASTARD I said "No!" - but he did... :laugh:

True, but presumably I was quite good at it, to the point where it caught the attention of Dr. Ishmael Reed (the vice-dean of the School of letters at UCB, at least back then, I have no idea what he's doing now). In fact, I've won quite a few awards :-\. I just... lost the inspiration. I'll give the link you gave me a go :)

That's what I'm taking, but not two bottles worth... Ever tried Bubkley's[^]? That stuff is lethal, both to your lucidity and your cough. Two sips, I mean that, 2 sips and its gone. Can't find it in Jordan though, :( . PS, it taste's like liquefied crap but NOTHING on this planet takes care of coughs like that thing does.

I think Robotussin taste terrible. Just the smell of it gives me goosbumps. I can take alot of it and it doesnt seem to effect my cough. I find psudoephedrine and a antihistimine works well when your sick, it doesn't take care of the cough but it helps with everything else. If you want to try something that taste really nasty, try Zicam Cough. It has the same amount of Dextromethorphan as a bottle of robotussin but the whole bottle could fit in a 1 or 2 shot glasses. You are suppost to spray it in your mouth but I dont see how anyone could tolerate the taste, you might as well drink blended wasps. The best tasting cough medicine has either got to be Delsym, or Zicam Cough Melts. Each cough melt contains 30mg of cough suppressent and it taste like candy almost, but it takes longer to kick in it seems like.
Word, write letters and sh*t yo. It takes 46 muscles to frown but only 4 to flip 'em the bird. Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings. The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do. Everyone needs believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer.

Ah CP, how I love thee! As wretched as I feel, like crooked dog's heel, I must get my fixation, By telling the CP nation Of how I feel because I'm sick, Coughing up icky-ick, But up I get, out of bed, To tell thee CP that I love thee! PS. I am as sick as a dog and I'm medically considered 'high' at the moment because of all the medication. I just hope this doesn't affect the article I'm writing :laugh:

You don't know what high is until you chugged 2 bottles of Robotussin Cough. Then post on CP after it kicks in, its fun trust me.

Pity there's so much Guaifenesin in Robitussin though, makes it difficult to get enough DXM without getting all vomitty ;P I guess there's a reason they did that though ;) [edit] oh, and afaik, technically, you're not high then but dissociated :) [/edit]

Very true, but other junk added certainly doesn't help. Indeed, long live dxm only capsules and syrup ;P
