Drink called Cocaine has Mayor of NY pissed

Posted on October 3, 2006 by CD

Summer White Wine
In the words of Rick James…”Cocaine, it’s a hell of a drug…”

NEW YORK (Reuters) – A canned energy drink called “Cocaine” being sold in New York grocery stores has infuriated the city’s mayor who says its brand name celebrates the use of a dangerous drug.
“I think that the bottlers ought to have their heads examined given that we have drug problems (particularly) among kids, to try to glorify something that is so destructive is an outrage,” New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg told a news conference on Tuesday.
The high-caffeine drink, created by Las Vegas-based Redux Beverages, contains no cocaine, but markets itself as “the legal alternative” to the real thing.
It contains a mixture of legal stimulants like caffeine, guarana — a South American seed that is a natural source of caffeine — and taurine, an acidic chemical that occurs in the tissues of animals.
The drink, which carries a mock health warning saying it can result in “excess excitement, stamina, fun and possible feeling of euphoria,” has appeared on the shelves of at least five New York stores and the company uses a Web site to market cocktails containing the beverage.

    Good day
    It’s a quick video I made to show off the Dervish’s dance from the guildwars nightfall weekend.
    The dance the dervish does is the same one that Christoper Walken did in the clip for Fatboy Slims’ – Weapon of choice music video (hence the music used)
    What do you think about it?

    There was this guy see.
    He wasn’t very bright and he reached his adult life without ever having learned “the facts”.
    Somehow, it gets to be his wedding day.
    While he is walking down the isle, his father tugs his sleeve and says,
    “Son, when you get to the hotel room…Call me”
    Hours later he gets to the hotel room with his beautiful blushing bride and he calls his father,
    “Dad, we are the hotel, what do I do?”
    “O.K. Son, listen up, take off your clothes and get in the bed, then she should take off her clothes and get in the bed, if not help her. Then either way, ah, call me”
    A few moments later…
    “Dad we took off our clothes and we are in the bed, what do I do?”
    O.K. Son, listen up. Move real close to her and she should move real close to you, and then… Ah, call me.”
    A few moments later…
    “DAD! WE TOOK OFF OUR CLOTHES, GOT IN THE BED AND MOVED REAL CLOSE, WHAT DO I DO???”
    “O.K. Son, Listen up, this is the most important part. Stick the long part of your body into the place where she goes to the bathroom.”
    A few moments later…
    “Dad, I’ve got my foot in the toilet, what do I do?”
