LCD Round-up

    Comparing LCDs is like comparing girlfriends. Sure one is prettier than another, but what really counts is what kind of hardware is pushing the girl to the limit.

    No bonus checks here, no raises either. Ta Daa! (And I work for a major equipment hosting company)

    The TechReport can post nice comparisons all they want. No benchmarks are worth it without handing out free sandwiches.

  4. LSD Round Up by Dr+Kool,+PhD · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Why spend your christmas bonus check on an LCD when you can have some REAL FUN?? Here's my LSD round up:

    Weed - This is a kind of a ho-hum boring drug that everyone does at least a couple times in their life. Smoking weed basically makes you tired and hungry and makes you laugh at everything, even things that aren't funny. I recommend you stay away from this if you are looking for a big party. Weed is cheap though, you can get an ounce of good stuff for around $300(on the west coast anyway).

    Ecstasy - I've never done this, but my homies tell me that popping a pill is like having a two hour orgasm. Sounds like fun. Also, if you give these to chicks, they tend to get really freaky with you. Best experienced with loud repetitive electronic music. The cost is generally $10-$20 per pill.

    Speed - This drug is a trip. Does saying awake for four straight days sound fun to you?? And when you're done you'll sleep for three more. I bet you'll have to take a piss really bad when you wake up. I'm not too sure about the price, maybe $50 for a hit.

    Cocaine - The drug of choice for rich white people. I personally think that coke is for wusses, both heroin and crack will get you way more wasted. Prices are around $75-$200 for a gram, depending on quality and who you know.

    Crack - This is probably the most fucked up drug ever made. The price is cheap, maybe $20-$30 for a good sized rock. I guarantee you that smoking crack will give you the greatest high of your life. Problem is, that high only lasts five minutes. And so you're going to want more. And more. Stay away from this unless you have tons of money.

    Heroin - Heroin and coke are closely related, both come from opium. Heroin is much stronger than coke though, it's for people who don't fuck around with that sissy stuff. You can snort this stuff like coke, but it's usually not as good. The best way to do H is to melt it and inject it. Be careful not to OD though. Prices are around $50 to $125 per gram.

    LSD - If you can only use one drug during the holiday season then LSD should be the one!! This stuff will make you trip out and see spiders and scorpions all over the walls. All those hippies in the 60's did LSD, so you should too. Prices are pretty reasonable, around $3 to $10 for a hit. Be sure to buy more than one.

    Well that's it, I don't have time to cover shrooms or cat tranquilizer, maybe next time. Be sure to have a safe holiday season, and remember: WINNERS DON'T DO DRUGS.

      This is not true. I thought most people would know that coke comes from cocaine leaves, while opium is derived from poppies.

      Not to mention that herion is a depressant(like booze and pain killers) and cocaine a stimulant (like nicotine and amphetamines(sp?)).

    (Clark W. Griswold) Hey! If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is! Hallelujah!

    ROFLMAO!!!

    ....

    ... still laughing ...



    ...

    (*hem ... hem*)

    In case you haven't heard, we're kinda in a recession!!! The only bank accounts that MIGHT get a X-mas bonus are those with EIN numbers associated with them ... not a SSN!!!

    There are MANY companies that are not just cancelling X-mas bonuses, but that are taking salray and benifits away from people right now to cover their loses .... and don't even think about asking when the company X-mas party is this year (you'll just get laughed at)

    BTW: Are they still accepting resumes where you work? If not, please forward my contact information to your boss. I WANT YOUR JOB!

    Until then, I'm stuck with my CRT. Screw you for making me jellous! :)
