True or False?

^ I dunno- I have done many drugs- I never f**ked with opiates.
Maybe I will live longer! I don't think so- I reckon I'll be dead in 5 years or so.  I'm 61 come August 20, I don't see too may birthdays left. I don't give a flying f**k. If I quit posting and if this forum is still here, you know I'm dead. Because as much of an a***ole and moron I am, and as much as I argue with my fellow Bad Movie friends- I do love you all and apperciate you putting up with my ranting bullsh!t.

[RCMerchant]

OK! That self sobbing s**t is over- What is your favorite beverage?
Mine- uh- whiskey. Water after. Then tea.

[ER]

Truthfully? Water. It's almost all I ever drink. I am hopelessly square.

[indianasmith]

wait . . . people drink water?
Surely that's just a fad.  I can't see it catching on.

Anyway - Diet Dr. Pepper and iced tea probably account for about 80% of my fluid intake.
Gatorade and Diet Coke the rest.

[ER]

I think soft drinks are detrimental. Of course except for a quasi-eating disorder I've done everything supposedly right with exercise and mostly with nutrition/vegetarianism yet am told I am unlikely to make old bones, so what do I know? Maybe I make a good reverse barometer, lol.

[RCMerchant]

 I NEVER drink soda pop. Rot gut sugar s**t. Just makes your mouth sticky.

[indianasmith]

Well, we all wind up in the ground eventually anyway.
All the vegan health food/fitness nuts are going to feel pretty darned silly in 50 years, lying there dying of absolutely nothing!

^ This is true- which is why I myself plan to be pickled with whiskey in my veins when I go.

We've got the "true and false" and "personal questions" threads mixed up.

The Lugosi/Lorre question was kind of ambiguous, since morphine and heroin are pretty much interchangeable. Both actors were Hungarian-born opiate addicts.

Chemically, morphine is a component of opium that can be extracted and concentrated from raw opium. Heroin is synthesized from morphine and is more potent. Fentanyl is even more potent than heroin. But they all do basically the same thing, it's mainly just the dosage that's different.

True or false: Johnny Depp paid for Hunter S. Thompson's funeral (his ashes were shot out of a cannon).

[ER]

Darn we did get the threads mixed up.

And I will say true to the Depp question.

[Rev. Powell]

It is true.

[ER]

^ That was a cool way to be disposed of.

The guy from I Dream of Jeannie wanted to be run thorugh a wood chipper and spread across a wheat field, and then have his friends eat the bread made from the wheat that grew there so he could "live on within them."

Putting people in the ground is so uncreative. I need to think on what I want done with me. Wonder if I could be made into a book? Do they have towers of silence in this country? Neither burning nor burial much appeals to me.

[Rev. Powell]

Without looking it up on Google: Babe Ruth, Elvis Presley, and Bela Lugosi all died on the same date (different years, obviously).

[RCMerchant]

No. Elvis died earlier, I believe. I know it was in August- because Grouch Marx died on the same day too, I think.

[Rev. Powell]

Nope, they all died on 8/16.

Also Aretha Franklin.

Groucho died three days after Elvis--a much bigger loss, IMO, although Elvis did die too young.
