The Men of RFC

[Ed P]

The past couple of days there has been a large number of postings to
entice us guys to hook up with women.

I'm thinking the reason is, we'd be a good catch for these women, We're
all handsome rugged guys, strong, nice personality. Any of us would be
a good catch

Either that, or they miss Sheldon.

[Dave Smith]

You know that they are legitimate posts when there are about a dozen
posts in a short period of time with slight variations of subjects. I
thought I had most of those types filtered by subject but I guess I had
to tweak the filter.

Probably so. His credit cards were never declined and he could
keep me... err.... Natalya... on the phone for hours. But he
always hung up frustrated.

I was thinking of taking up a collection to send Tinkerbell a
bottle of Tito's and some Diet Sprite - either VIA drizly (or
similar) or plain brown wrapper.

But Jill doesn't seem to think they'll let him have alcohol. "Let
him"? Huh? He's a grown man over the age of 21 and is tall
enough for MOST amusement park rides. And he's not in jail or
prison. What are 'they' going to do about it - withhold some meds
until the vodka is gone? Fine - sobeit (IMO). Anybody takes my
booze they're gonna have to answer for it. or.... or.... I'll run
away from home! No Silver Alert required.

I doubt he's mentally incapacitated yet as far as a judge is
concerned (until he gets the vodka, that is - but that's only
temporary). And I don't give a shit what somebody else signed
saying "I'll behave". But I'm sure they're pumping him full of
drugs to keep him docile and manageable. I wonder how many times
they still use that, "If you want to get better and return
home..." threat on him and if it still works.

So what is the general rule about alcohol in the various levels of
waiting-to-die homes/communities? I see a legal black market
smuggling operation business opportunity here. We'll have to set
an example for all those busy-body snitches, though. Maybe
withhold their Metamucil for a couple weeks to "shut them up".

hey all come from google-groups.googlegroups.com with message
Id's of @googlegroups.com - just like all the regulars here who
use Google. You must have a magic killfilter! (or a whitelist - I
thought about this nyeh! I hate to give Google Groupers a
'privilege' when *THEY* are the problem).

The Fuck Finder posts bounce around from random proxies in England
and the mid-east and switch up every 1-3 posts in as little as 6
seconds. Some poor, sad fucker is probably doing that
semi-manually. All to advertise what is ultimately "Adult Friend
Finder". Which has been the biggest spam generator on Usenet and
the Internet for over 20 years now.

The spell caster posts come from ...

Johannesburg. Where 20% of the population aged 2-49 have AIDS. And
38% of all pregnant women have AIDS, and who are giving birth to

an AIDS riddance spell.

A walking hard on. Slowly over time the size of the cock overtakes
the size of the body. The owner of the cock wants it to keep growing
even if it means total elimination of the body. But legs are needed to
get around. Unless portable cock cloning starts trending. That's where
you have your clones of your cock made - a whole closet full of them -
with electrodes planted into your groin. The cocks can be worn cowboy
style, on belts the way gunslingers used to tote their pistols and ammo.
So instead of just one cock you've got many. You can send them to
people thousands of miles away. Tiny transistors in your groin pick up
the sensations of every cock being used. The only downside is if you
give your cock to someone and then have an argument with them they
might put it on the railroad tracks so a train will split it in two. You will
feel it. Everything that happens to your transistorized cocks is felt
in your transistorized groin. But yes, based on jerking off alone Kuthe
so far is number one. But for how long? Surely others are every bit
the man Kuthe is. But so far they are afraid to admit it.

Tripods are small at the top and long at the bottom like a daddy long
legs spider. Are you saying you're all balls and no cock? To be a real
man you've got to have both. I can't seem to get the package together.
It's different all the time. Some days I wake up all balls and no cock.
Other days I wake up all cock and no balls. That's the holy trinity
right there - two balls and one cock, 3 in all. Remember the story
"The Metamorphosis" where a guy wakes up a cockroach? Imagine
waking up a cock. A 6 foot cock. Come on, even the straightest
of dudes would have a strong craving to reach out and touch it. I
know a scientist who is working on creating an 'all-cock' human being.
The body goes first as the cock takes over. The last thing to go is the
mind. That is when genuine nirvana sets in and the big dick does
the victory dance.

You are late. All this happened before you got here.

Guy's name was Sheldon Martin, a jewish sex maniac.
He fucked almost every woman on the planet, including his aunt,
mother-in-law. He'd fuck a snake if you'd hold it's head so it
couldn't bite his dik.

Under the habit does not count. I don't like the way this conversation
has shifted from cocks to a guy who doesn't even post anymore. Besides,
I've changed my mind about the cock transition. I think a woman waking
up as a full sized cunt is even more startling. 5 feet, 7 inches long. No
body, just a big gaping cavern in search of an appropriately sized cock.
The woman's body does not entirely disappear. The feet remain. Just
the feet to waddle the cunt around. It can be smelled from blocks away.
Guys are walking around with hard ons caused by the aroma. But their
cocks are not big enough to handle the cunt, so they crawl into the cavern
head first and goo-glide their way around the inner walls, all the while
wishing their bodies would turn into cocks. But with science it is not
possible. Prayer is not enough. By the way, "Jewish sex maniac", that's
kind of redundant, isn't it?

If I remember correctly, it went something like this. Sheldon went to
Vatican City. A nun saw him on the street. She'd never seen such a
strong man before, so she dropped all her clothes and asked Sheldon to
pay her a private visit. Sheldon obliged.

Joan and Jill miss him.

We need to know why he went to Vatican City in the first place.
Was he there to assassinate the Pope? If so he had that special
killer's gleam in his eye which is easy for women to mistake as
sexual yearning. That includes nuns. I'm a shallow guy in some
ways. I don't care how good looking the woman is beneath the
habit, the garb just flat-out turns me off. I think that is it's purpose
to begin with. I'm talking about the ultra conservative nun attire
that screams, "Leave this one alone."

Pretty simple. The Pope needed his advice. He wanted the Jewish
perspective on things. They even considered changing the sacrament from
bread and wine to bagels and Crystal Palace.

I am a non believer but favor staunch religions. If they have to exist
they should be firm and ever resistant to change, or at least slow to it.
The Pope is the big man in the Catholic world and beyond. Millions
come to see him when he's in their area. I am not much interested
in the Pope. I am more intrigued with those who come to see him -
arms outstretched, pleading for a closer view. A very similar look to
the one people wore when JFK got shot, as if without him they had no
sense of direction. I think all religions are equally absurd but I do not
put them down because I think maybe they are needed - at least for now.
The Popemobile is the funniest. A large bubble like structure on top of
the vehicle to make room for the Pontiff's high hat.

I click on some links and they take me someplace. But lately
most of the time I get the security message. I tried to bypass
it numerous times but this is a used computer and I think 'Safari'
is not recognized by some of the sites. I can access most links
from my smartphone. But I only use that by my bed as a reference
tool. In a way I'm glad I can't access the links, in another way I'm
not. Anyway, just thought I'd let you know.

Ignore the caption - it's wrong.

This is a 1983 music video of "The Sisterhood."

- Joan - lead guitar
- Cindy - rhythm guitar eventually
- Jill - bass guitar
- Dave Smith - drummer

I nominate this the official music video of RFC.
It just fits so perfectly.

I used Niquil for bad hangovers when I was out of booze.
But I couldn't drink enough of it. I think it's more like 50
proof, not 80. But it's got antihistamines in it that help
make a person tired. That worked with me for many
years. I used the cheapest antihistamine pills I could
find as sleeping pills. Same thing anyway for the OTC
crap. Point is, over the years I came to a point where
I can no longer use antihistamines because they give
me restless leg syndrome. it's real. I'm glad I can't
take them anymore, I think they are treacherous. Lots
of this OTC shit has as many bad side effects as the
prescribed crap, maybe more. Anyway, it was funny
how I used the Niquil to try to beat the hangover. It
may have helped, but despite my inventiveness I was
never able to come up with a true hangover cure - not
even close.

So you played flute in the school band? That's cool.

I was also in the school band from 7th grade - 11th grade.
I played cornet. We were also the marching band at half-time HS football
games. Also played the National Anthem before the games, the way it's
supposed to sound.

Wish I could grab an old pic off of my old computer to post - young

Probably the diphenhydramine. Antihistamines make me sleepy
but wired at the same time.

Almost certainly unrelated to MSG.

One of the common muscle relaxants (metaxalone or cyclobenzaprine)
makes me extremely dopey. One 12-hour dose put me out for 24 hours.
I woke up a couple of times to eat toast and milk that my husband
prepared for me.

I was given a 50mg dose of diphenhydramine to treat a major allergic
reaction - it knocked me out for 12 hours.
Other antihistamines don't affect me the same way.

i think it is a guan* (something) that really gets me bad.
i won't risk trying any of them again and i don't need to

Benadryl i.e., diphenhydramine is used as a sleep aid at my wife's hospital. My guess is that it's probably widely used in a lot of hospitals - probably because it's cheap.

The Benadryl I see in the UK, doesn't contain diphenhydramine.
Diphenhydramine is available, but as a sleep aid.

Yes, it was garbage and I knew it was garbage, but the hangovers
I used to get were brutal. I remember one night in particular where
it was Sunday and nobody sold booze. I woke up late with a really
brutal hangover. I needed booze. Went to several stores before
realizing they don't sell on Sunday. The walk in itself was helping
to knock the hangover out. But I found a convenience store and
bought some Niquil. Yes, it was nasty and I knew it was garbage
even as I drank it. Another time in desperation I did the same thing
with Listerine. I did not gulp it, just enough to mellow my jangled nerves.
I'm a label reader, so even in my desperate state I was careful not to
overdo it. But nothing works for a real hangover. I know, I've tried all
known remedies plus many of my own.

I took a lot of that crap over the years when I was younger.
I used the cheapest product available as sleeping pills, on
top of booze. They'd put me out good. But over time I
developed restless syndrome after taking them. They'd
put me to sleep but not for long. Then I'd have the restless
legs and could never get back to sleep. At first I thought
it might be coincidence. But no, every time I would take
an antihistamine for any reason I'd get the restless legs.
I really believe many prescription drugs - even with all
their listed side effects - are less dangerous and crude
than some of the OTC crap we see.

[dsi1]

That makes a lot of sense. I don't know why Benadryl is not marketed in the US as a sleep aid. Just put the pills in a different box. OTOH, the UK version seems to have a problem with liver and kidney function. It is not recommended to be taken by people over the age of 65.

No. Just no. No sports in this house.

Anyway, I can't turn on NBC. I don't have cable or an antenna.

Yes, I know you're extremely dogmatic about any sort of ornamentation on
the part of singers of the national anthem. Tough cheese.

That said, there's ornamentation and then there's just being a

wrong again. You should stop guessing about UK
medication.

In UK, Benadryl containing the antihistamine cetirizine
is NOT contra-indicated for over 65's.

https://www.nhs.uk/medicines/cetirizine/

Some Benadryl products do not contain cetirizine, but a
different antihistamine such as acrivastine. Acrivistine
is not recommended for over 65's.

Goodness, you do hate to be proven wrong and especially on a subject you haven't

being bi-lingual. And the last statement about not having the time to waste
responding just shows you don't have a clue about this medication, kidney problems,
or what age group should avoid it.

Janet UK said, and I quote:

"Some Benadryl products do not contain cetirizine, but a
different antihistamine such as acrivastine. Acrivistine
is not recommended for over 65's."

And what do you do? You go dig up a site that specially says the medication YOU
posted contains:
"The active ingredients in Benadryl Allergy Relief are:
8 mg Acrivastine in each capsule."
As if that's the only medication containing this ingredient. Are you trying to say
Janet UK doesn't know what her country markets??

Reread her statement again and slowly. SOME BENADRYL PRODUCTS DO NOT
CONTAIN CETIRIZINE, BUT A DIFFERENT ANTIHISTAMINE SUCH AS ACRIVASTINE
IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR OVER 65s.

Do you need a shovel to dig that hole any deeper?

[dsi1]

You're an idiot. Of course I'm talking about acrivastine. When I'm talking about Benadryl in the US, I'm talking about diphenhydramine Hcl. "Benadryl" is just the name under which these drugs are commonly known as. Anybody in the medical field knows what is meant when the word "Benadryl" is used. Yoose gets the last word.

Just put the pills in a different box. OTOH, the UK version seems to have
a problem with liver and kidney function. It is not recommended
to be taken by people over the age of 65.

Benadryl is a brand name. The antihistamines in Benadryl are
used in a variety of OTC sleep meds at higher prices. Not all
sleep aids use the antihistamine diphenhydramine, but they
are pretty much alike. I'm a label reader. I used to run errands
for a woman who insisted on OTC Unisom sleeping tablets. I
told her she can get the same thing cheaper, that generic
antihistamines will do the same thing. And they do. I know. I
used them for years.

Some medicines have side effects that are sold as other
things. A few years ago I went to a skin doctor because I
had a rash on my leg that had come and gone for years. It
never extended beyond that point. Sometimes it would leave
for a month at a time. One time it came back and I decided to
find a skin doctor nearby. He told me I had 'contact dermatitis'.
More witch doctor bullshit. He gave me some steroid cream.
Not a prescription, just some stuff he had in the back. I put
it on at home and the next day woke up to find my shoulders
and arms and other spots had broken out with the same rash
I had on my leg.

I went back to the guy and he told me I have two things wrong
with me - and I went for it. He gave me oral fungal meds. The
next day I woke up with my fingers swollen up like sausages.
The other stuff on the arms and shoulders were still there. I
was itching constantly. Tried not to but couldn't.

I almost went back to the same guy a third time. How stupid
I can be. I went to a clinic and was seen by a team of doctors.
I told them the whole story. They evaluated then told me they
were going to give me a few prescriptions. They were all things
I had taken before. I was steamed. Then the woman doctor
said, "Oh, and we're also giving you some Neurontin." I asked
her what it was. She said it was an anti-seizure med but one
of its side effects is that it dulls the nerve endings just enough
to not feel the need to itch. Within one day I stopped itching and
within two days the rashes began to disappear. But from a visual
standpoint it took about a month. The Neurontin also makes
people tired, so it can be taken as a sleeping pill, which I did
every now and then. Neurontin is a brand name. The actual
name of the stuff is gabopentin.

Why would they be speaking Germany? It was Britain that led the fight
against Nazi Germany while Americans came up with excuses to stay out of
it until they were finally forced into when the Japanese attacked Pearl
Harbor and Hitler declared war on the US. You might also note that The
US also tried hard to stay out of WW I. It started in the summer of
1914. They finally showed interest late in 1917 and the war was almost
over by the time they got troops over there. Their first real offensive
was not until May 1918, almost 4 years into a 4 1/2 year war, and they
were so inept that they were assigned to fight alongside the French.
They helped to tip the scale that was already tipped.

[dsi1]

I understand that there are brand names and pharmaceutical names for drugs. "Benadryl" is used in an interesting way. It's a brand name used in the medical profession for diphenhydramine Hcl. My guess is that that it's such a useful, effective, and ubiquitous, drug that the most common brand name is being utilized. I never buy Benadryl branded diphenhydramine Hcl. I buy the generic stuff. It's much cheaper.
That doctor sounds like a dick. You do know what they say...

Thanks. Yeah, as a label reader I'm pretty much up on most over the counter
stuff although I'm not a big pill user. I am prescribed valiums - diazepam - and
tend to underuse it although over the years I have upped the dose a bit. But I
do not take a single prescription aid of the sort that must be taken every day.
I have never had any readings taken - cholesterol, etc. - I don't want to know.
It's all modern day witch craft in my opinion. And that doctor being a dick - I
appreciate the support but see him more as the norm on the basis of most
docs I've seen in my time. Just a bunch of C students coming out of school
after learning just enough to pass tests to get through the college doors. Most
of them learn nothing. Fortunately my experiences with doctors have not been
many, but most were negative. They know way way less than people think they
know. You want to stay healthy, stay away from doctors. Then at some point
you die. It's going to happen anyway.

Unfortunately, ceterizine doesn't work for me.

I have an immune response which tells the mast cells to produce large
quantities of histamine and heparin, which causes various symptoms,
including intense pain. Diphenhydramine works very well to cancel that,
but I haven't yet found one of the 'less sleepy' longer lasting, ones
which can provide the same relief as diphenhydramine.

Why are you letting dsi1 bait you into a discussion about this? It's

any country. What the hell WWII has to do with anything is a complete

For me, the the sedation is an often unwelcome side effect, unless an
attack occurs in the evening, when I _want_ to be sleepy!

I had been hoping to find an antihistamine for daytime use, which works
just as well as diphenhydramine, but without the sleep-inducing effects.

None of the 'no drowsiness' ones I've tried, have worked, but
diphenhydramine always has. The non drowsy ones do work well for my hay
fever, though.

WWII
Russia mainly won the war in Europe, thanks to Allied equipment.
America mainly won the war in the Pacific.
Churchill mainly kept the Allies/Russians from coming unglued.

WWI

As for WW II, strict US neutrality laws prevented us from entering *any* conflict unless we were directly attacked - which did happen when Unca Tojo directed that Pearl Harbor attack...

And a considerable number of people in the US considered the UK our chief world rival, not Germany - there was real anti - British sentiment...
