"Honey, you remember how you were complaining about my restless leg keeping you awake all night?"
"Yeah...""Well, now I've got something ELSE to keep you awake all night with!" *grin*
"...oh god."
If I remember correctly, there was once a dog medication that had a side effect categorized as "psychotic tendencies".
The commercial made the entire family stop eating dinner, and then start a lively discussion about why someone would want to give something with a side effect like that to their dog, no matter the benefits.
There's an antidepressant drug (I forget the name) a friend of mine takes that has as a side effect...
'May cause depression with suicidal tendacies'
My favorite are the anti-depression drugs which have IMPOTENCE as a side-effect. I always tell my wife: "You may be impotent, but, hey, at least you won't be sad about it!"
Pharmeceutical commercials always remind me of the old SNL commercial for 'Happy Fun Ball' (see transcript here) ... with the best line of all being "Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball."

I remember the US national news programs reporting for several days that the government had launched a top secret military satellite.

Side effects for social anxiety drugs usually include things that would make most people not want to be around you anyway (gas, irritability, diarrhea).
At an ATM, I tried to ask for $30 because I needed a ten, and it told me "please enter the amount in denominations of 20". So, I put in $40. It gave me 4 tens.
That's the thing. Whether it's a happy pill that makes you flaccid and suicidal or an itch creme that causes your dog to chew off its own foot and swallow, I often wonder why people would take these pills when the side effects seem so much worse that the treated malady.
I think most peopole would rather take an anti public diarrheal with a side effect of bouts of sadness than a happy pill that makes you hog splooch on the floor of the supermarket.
"Hey Phil, what's your secret? Lately you seem so chipper."
"And why wouldn't I be? I'm standing in a pool of my own mess and I just don't care. Bring it on, life!"
Or, as we say in Britain, from a restless leg to a restless leg-over.
Is that the cue De l'Amour ? The leg goes over the leg in bed?

Oh sure, it's the drug that prevents you from going out into the sun. Not the fact that you drink human blood and sleep in a coffin.
Someone get a wooden stake. There's vampire hunting to be done...
hehe that is only one of the four warnings on the drug; be funny if the others were like: may cause your incisors to grow; may cause nausea when eating dead food; may cause immense thirst; but no, they are things like; dont drive or operate machinery until you learn its affects; may cause drowsiness and or dizziness; hehe the funny thing is I get one or two extras added now and again; so the warnings are not even consistant; other than; the kidney and liver thing and the sunlight and dizzy/drowsy and driving.
make that steak raw please; and I like T bones :)
Good work, Sebastian!
Valegrim and vampire both share the letters v-a-e-r-i-m... which scrambled spell I Rev Ma.
That's just got to mean something bloodcurdling.
THis isn't an absurd observation, but, has anyone ever noticed how posters on the Paizo boards are just plain f#@!ing weird?
Paizo boards are just plain f!!king weird
Your definition of weird is my definition of plum pudding. Have a bite and get back to me when the numbers add up. All praise Kerthunk.
So, does that mean that I come here and hang out all the time because I like weird or is it that I'm....ohhhhh. Gotcha! Crapstack, Monkey legs. Ra! Ra! Ra!
Being that you once ran a kitchen that served up pancakes and waffles... I just have to ask. Is a crapstack something you serve to annoying customers?
Why are they called apartments, when they're all clustered together?

Years ago they had a series of commercials with the tag line, "Beef - real food for real people." I think the voice-over was done by James Garner.
Anyway, every time I saw this commercial, it made me think, [i]"If they're saying 'beef is real food for real people', then does that mean they think vegetables are fake food for fake people?"[i]

I used to say the exact same thing, Zombie. It really is saying, "Don't be a Californian hippie."
I was the son of a Californian hippie, and being told by a council of industry that there's something false or affected about my vegetarian lifestyle is really annoying. I bleed green just like you guys.

My dad takes that drug (or a different blood pressure drug with the same warning), and he just had a lump the size of a quarter removed from his back. It wasn't anything malignant, but still it was pretty scary stuff when it happened. So, yeah, stay out of the sun!

That's the same medicine that Dr. McKay takes on Stargate Atlantis. I guess it explains some things...
OK: here's one: when I was sixteen, my f#$%ing shrink misdiagnosed me and put me on a certain alkali metal. I was basically trading depression for zombification and a possibility of brain damage and decreased metabolic function.
Don't get me started talking about bad druuuuuugs. OK, it's already in progress.

I remember the US national news programs reporting for several days that the government had launched a top secret military satellite.
Reminds me of a headline I saw in the newspaper:
GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCES SECRET WIRETAPS
"Hello"
"Yeah, hi. This is the FBI. We're spying on you."
"Uh, ...OK..."
"Just wanted to let you know. Thank you for the part you are playing in the nation's fight against terrorism. Oh, and by the way, your wife is cheating on you with your boss."
*click*
Paxil. I was on that s**#e for a year.
Guess what happened next.
I got prescribed Aropax a few years ago, I think it's the same stuff (they both have "pax" in their name anyway). Two days after I started taking it, I started feeling like I was on acid and then I bumped into the coffee table and got a massive bruise on my shin. I stopped taking it and went back to the doctor and said: "Uh, I don't think this stuff is any good."
He got out his book and said "Huh... Under "extremely rare side effects" it says "may cause severe bruising". Never seen that before."
I don't think Aropax and I were destined to be friends.
One of the side effects on the stuff my wife takes is “may cause vivid nightmares” (and it sure does).
I have had a few “bad trips” over the years from medications combining in strange ways. Not cool. Typically, I experience paranoid delusions of unspecified groups coming to take me away, not sure what that’s about.
Some things I think are strange:
The diet drug, which causes “oily discharge.” Yeah, I wouldn’t eat again either.
The birth control that causes weight gain, pimples, and nausea. That’ll make you feel sexy!
Speaking of birth control, why the crap do the commercials need to specify it doesn’t do squat for STD’s? You know what; I can’t talk about that subject anymore without launching into a “stupid people shouldn’t breathe” rant.
Anyone else notice the “Yaz” ad is a total voice over? Bizarre.
Speaking of the mirapex stuff, my son is thoroughly entranced by the commercial (the little green and orange line people). He will wake up out of a dead sleep when he hears the music start and just stares fixated at the thing. No clue why.
My wife has had RLS since before it was cool (10 years she kicks me, laughs, then falls asleep like clockwork), but so far the feedback on this stuff is she hates it. Headaches, if I remember right; gives her real bad headaches. We were bummed, as she did not feel any urges to blow all our cash on a bet regarding hookers.
Funny thing about side effects and what you are willing to live with: I take this stuff for my asthma (had it since birth, I don’t let it slow me down and I’ll smack upside anyone who tries to tell me different), and it works awesome. Downside, it makes me very angry. Normally I have an unbelievably long fuse. On this stuff, not so much. I mean like rage angry, bottled fury. It’s weird, but it is always there under the surface. I keep waiting to turn green, split my pants, and become Lou Ferrigno (so far, I’ve only made it as far as the pants).

Hey, you know what they say. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you... :-D

That seems like the creepy beginning to a movie. Kinda of a Halloween 3: Season of the witch meets Poltergeist.
I bleed green just like you guys.Ooohh! A Vulcan! Of course, I don't bleed anymore. The congealed blood in my veins just kind of oozes out, kind of like molasses in winter.
Affirmative, zombie.
Why are they called apartments, when they're all clustered together?
Because clusterments sounded too much like the Scotch candy Klustermintz, and they were afraid of being sued.

Sorry to hear it, Shiny. I have some employees that went on Paxil. They might have suffered some deep-seeded angst before, but now they're truly effed up. And all in similar ways.

I usually call it a squirm and buzz impotently.

Ganoog is ganoog, you have me laughing so much.
They make candy out of scotch? Nice - I'll take a box of the Lagavullin and a couple of Laphroiags, thank you.

I meant it in the adjective sense:
2. characteristic of Scotland: made in Scotland, or characteristic of a style prevalent in Scotland
Scotch brothBut I suppose some Laguvullin candies would cure what ails ya.

What's the difference between flammable and inflammable?
What does it mean to be misunderestimated? (a Bushism)
Do they sterilize the needles for a lethal injection?
What's the difference between flammable and inflammable?
The letters 'i' and 'n'. There is no difference in meaning.
What does it mean to be misunderestimated? (a Bushism)
It means that someone didn't properly underestimate you (which means that the word is gibberish and doesn't really make any sense).
Do they sterilize the needles for a lethal injection?
Yes
Shouldn't Jack-in-the-Box either change their name or change what they package their ground meat in?

I hope no females take offense at what I am about to post.
Last night I was ruminating upon college football, and made mention of the Alabama Crimson Tide. My wife pointed out that this school mascot is also a rather crude euphemism for "that time of the month". It makes me wonder which came first: the mascot or the crude euphemism? Also, did one influence the other?

An inwardly spoken, "Are you serious?"

lol. I think their team might actually be named after a local oceanic event called red tide, or crimson tide, a blooming of neurotoxic algae.
Yum.
