I seem to remember hearing about that on the Daily Show some time back. Apparently the drink itself tastes like moldy necrotic balls so they have to use absurd advertising techniques (such as naming it Blow) to have any prayer of selling it.
I never would have thought the company would last this long.

sounds like a wonder drug.
edit: I misread something. what it sounds like is fucked up. makes you angry and euphoric? awesome.

penylalanine inhibits serotonin production, so I don't know how much good the 5HTP is going to do you.

Killing is best done in a euphoric trance, you screw up less with out those pesky judegements getting in the way.

That's why I listed them in the order I did - under the assumption that one would be giving oneself sufficient time for 5HTP to at least partly replenish serotonin supply (and enough time between the e and 5HTP to not kill the roll). |

Back on topic, while the product itself is really silly, what pisses me off about this Blow shit is that they're marketing it at kids. There have been several reports (including one in the linked news article) about them friending minors on MySpace, and the product is apparently really popular with middle schoolers.
I get that part of being cool in middle school was being overly fascinated with shit out of your age range, but this is a different ballgame than candy cigarettes and midriff shirts. |

So, I was about to play Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn today. I look around for my Classic Controller add-on and am unable to find it. I then notice that my nunchuck isn't there either. I turn the house upside down - for hours - searching for these. Then I realize that I can't find my PS2.
This matter is complicated somewhat by various facts such as a. I also can't find a bag which would very concievably be holding these things for transport, b. there's a cleaning lady who occasionally cleans our house and likes to put away everything in odd places, so I can't depend on rhyme or reason, c. our house is full of junk, and d. I haven't used any of this equipment in months. Not to mention that other people could concievably have pieces of this, or that it might not all be in one place.
