Why don't medications ever have amusing side effects? It's always "Serious side effects may occur..." Never, "You'll turn bright orange with green spots for three days and talk like you're on helium, but it's harmless." I guess it works like politics: the choice is always between "not real good" and "worse."

Tam, fuming over the ill-informed and over-enthusiastic: "It's like walking into the neighborhood garage and exclaiming in delight over the 'stylin', well-engineered Yugo' you just saw." Ow.

Well, Og just wrote about some freaky dreams as a reaction to malaria meds.. I imagine that was pretty amusing.
ReplyDeleteTrue, though Og's idea of "amusing" is to excrete someting a yard long and bright green....
ReplyDeleteSee, THAT is why Tam would never like me. I AM ill-informed and over-enthusiastic, and I am set in my ways.
ReplyDeleteI'm Stupid, not Ignorant. Ignorance can be fixed with time and hard work. Stupidity is forever.
My only hope at a blogmeet with Tam in attendence is to keep my mouth shut and to continue to buy pints of beer for everyone.
I love on the side effects sped-up disclaimers on pharmaceutical commercials where in the litany of things the drug may cause, they list death. Yeah, where do we sign up for that one?
ReplyDeleteActually, that sort of thing (the dreams AND the glow-in-the-dark excreta)is always frightening, it's only amusing to the outsider. What amuses me, personally, would peel the skin off your skull, and you don't want to get that far into my head, trust me.
ReplyDeleteTwo Chickens In Every Garage
ReplyDeleteHehe. You're channeling The Tubes. I don't know whom they were channeling -- perhaps nobody.
"I'm proud (doo-do-do-doo) to be an American (We got two chickens in every garage!) ..."
Good tune.
Okay, I had to go find it.
ReplyDeleteProud to be an American by The Tubes.
Viagra started out as a blood pressure med, and I'd say that it has a pretty fun side effect. Well, more front than side (puerile snicker...)
ReplyDeleteMy fave though are nicotine patches. Try putting one on and going to sleep some night. The dreams are amazing! It's like the way LSD or opium is depicted in the movies.
