I just re-read Lolita recently.  I always seem to come back to it when I am in transition of not knowing what to read next.  Right now I am reading another Gore Vidal, The Smithsonian Institute and after that I have an Elmore Leonard book, When the Women Come out to Dance.



TA have you ever read The Stand by Stephen King? Great book.

Nothing wrong with MRP's or protein replacement when you can't get all whole food meal in.
That still does not answer the "why" of the matter.  What is someone looking for precisely in accomplishing with a supplement?  

I personally think the placebo effect of it would certainly outweigh and trump the claimed effect (which it most likely does not meet or live up to).  Therefore I have to conclude that supplements are marketed to those who are either fear based or uncertain or both.

Won't look at at this thread on the computer (due to losers hacking it) but going through this thread on my phone, it looks like TA is as well versed in supps and nutrition as he is in politics. Gotta laugh at the "commmoner" comment, as if he we're brought up in "high class". Hahahahaha. If he were anymore he wouldn't be posting on getbig with multiple accounts and doing interviews with oiled up men in thongs....if the "upper class" ever found out they would find it "appalling". Hahahahaha, what a twit!

I`ll have to.  I read Christine because I had a 1960 Plymouth Fury although the one in the book is a 1958.  I have read Nightmares and Dreamscapes and The Dark Tower Series.  I need to read more King.  Oh and I read The Regulators, under his pseudonym of Richard Bachman.

Ha! There's a lightness of touch/irony in Lolita that is absolutely brilliant. It's like Nabokov is laughing the whole book through, his prose touch is so light and comical - just daring us to call him out, but we can't because he remains always just out of reach. A book Coach would want to burn. And Nabokov is not even a born English speaker! Just like Joseph Conrad. Grrr.

/finished reading 'hell at the breech' by tom franklin. superb. but lacks the mythological and meta-everything reach of cormac mccarthy.

What we've seen here is a good case study in why the American South is overweight, poorly educated, low in socioeconomic status, and in general the armpit of the country by whatever metric to wish to use.

I always like the "clinical studies" line of bullshit.  Where is this clinic?  Maybe it's in the closet of a shoe store in Bulgaria. 

Let's call supplement advertisements what they are.  A bunch of lies to con insecure young men.  Every guy on their glossy ad in on steroids.  I can't believe how expensive some of this stuff is.

 Sports Illustrated once did an expose' on supplements.  They found among other things that most of the materials are from the same sources. You can have 10 different whey protein companies using the same whey from the same supplier. I still don't know why whey  is so expensive.  It use to be thrown out in the manufacture of cheese.  Some of the supplement's fancy bottles with slick labels are put together in a guy's garage. One supplement owner actually said that the containers and labels cost more than what is in it.  They also said some supplements  secretly had derivatives of testosterone in them in the past.

Says the 30-40 year old perpetual apartment dweller who thinks decorating is putting a lava lamp over the "Econo-Fridge" which also happens to house his vast collection of Ezekiel Breads.  You have nothing, no land, no house, no savings (no future worth living). Your existence is contained within a Vinyl-Sided palace and the only companions you DO have are the Hot Pocket bread crumbs on your micro-sueded coffee colored sectional from the Super Bowl 5 months ago.  Trust me when I say this, you lead a miserable life and you have nothing at this point to show for it.

If you are happy with this state, by all means continue and disregard the above.....However, don`t ever sugar coat what it is "Hulkotron" or you may never find your way out of the plastic prison.

TA, I'm a regional food nut.  Last year I took a trip to Kentucky to sample the many varieties of Hot Browns, I sampled fifteen in different restaurants throughout the state.  Next month I'm likely to make passage to North Carolina to sample the barbecue.  Do you have any suggestions for must visit stops?  My only requirement is that there is a diversity in the preparation of the food.
Hello my friend,
It will all depend on where you are planning to travel through.  You will have either Eastern or Western style to choose from and Pit Cooked or Oven Roasted which is either entire shoulder or entire hog.  East or West, what you ideally want is Pit Cooked, Hickory fire cooked.  I recommend the Skylight Inn in Ayden, Stamey`s in Greensboro, and Lexington BBQ, in Lexington.  You will pleased with all of the above.  Don`t forget to order Hush Puppies.
