AND YOU NEVER WILL, YOU ANTI-FUR!

GASP

I NEVER...!

I reacon the Host change is successfull then, Mitch?

This has been a presentation of Bizarro CYD. If you would like to order a copy of this presentation on VHS or DVD...

I just had an epiphany, guys! I know what my true furry self is! I drew it and put it here!(NSFW) Now I'm going to go howl at the moon and bark and the mailman!

Zenzhu, you need a new scanner, no seriously, if you were that good four years back, I'd love to see your current stuff.

Then i must reveal my HIP HOP self.

Well, absinthe. I love absinthe.

Nice, uh, equipment. Finnish hip-hop? But..... why?

All you can buy here his some crap that uses a different strain of wormwood which has no active ingredient. The real stuff is illegal, at least in this state. Whats it like, a stimulant?

Thanks for the feedback, though the only thing I really draw these days is a bath. I doodle in my phone log at work when I'm on hold, but beyond that, the only place I draw much anymore is in the steam collected on my shower door. It's not that I really gave it up, but just don't have any drive or inspiration to draw these days.... no characters to design, stories to illustrate, or anything like that. The concerns of reworking my resume, exercising, cooking dinner, and cleaning house take up the bulk of my time these days. Not much left for drawing, even if I had something I wanted to draw.

Most of my creative energies at the moment are being put toward developing a technical writing portfolio (one of those career-changer challenges of creating examples of your work when your current career doesn't involve producing such works). I would like to reprise my old "Mundane Guy" pictures that were done to look like KMFDM album covers for you guys eventually.

I do need to dig up some illustrations I did for a book my old employer published. There's one of a deer that even I am surprised I produced. But there's also some sequential geologic cross-sections that I just realized I should put in my tech-writing portfolio. I'm hoping to play up my design qualities (as well as getting a web development certification)... so that maybe my next job can involve a little more creativity.

If I find anything worth digging up, I'll use my wife's scanner and put them where I can share them.

Not really. Real Absinthe has no stimulating or intoxicating effect that can't be had from any other alcoholic drink of same strength. Absinthe is just notable for having wormwood, artemisia absinthium, which has insecticidal properties, as an ingredient. Obviously imbibing a pesticide isn't healthy in the long run. I guess Absinthe's appeal is both the "decadent" image and the fact that the damn thing does taste good. I had a few some years back at the only bar in town that had stocked up before production was made illegal. That bar could still sell it, as it remained legal to sell existing stock. Taste-wise, though, Absinthe is pretty much like any other type of pastis. A good substitute would be Ricard. Although only Absinthe or the imitation wormwood-less Absenthe has that impressive emerald-green colour.

Thujone belongs to the family of monoterpene ketones(4). There are two principle enantiomers found in wormwood, (-)-3-isothujone (a-thujone) and (+)-3-isothujone (b-thujone). They make up 90% of the wormwood oilÌs weight(1), but a-thujone has a much higher toxicity than b-thujone. The ratio in nature of a to b-thujone is 1:2(4). The IUPAC name of thujone is 4-methyl-1-(1-methylethyl)bicyclo<3.1.0>hexan-3-one.

They discovered that a-thujone is a Ïmodulator of the g-aminobutyric acid (GABA) type A receptor.(8)Ó They compared a-thujone toxic effects to that of picrotoxinin, a GABAA receptor antagonist. It was found that they both had similar toxic effect and the toxicity in both was suppressed by diazepam, phenobarbital and ethanol. They also found that drosophila that had a single point mutation in the GABA receptor that made them resistant to dieldrin were also resistant to a -thujone. a-Thujone was found to be Ïa competitive inhibitor of <3H>EBOB binding, i.e., of the noncompetitive blocker site of the GABA-gated chloride channel.(8)Ó a-Thujone was also found to be a reversible modulator of the GABAA receptor in the dorsal root ganglia neurons

Not many knows. It started popping in the late 90's with suburban finnish snow kids trying to be gangsta. When even the hip hoppers got sick of the fake machismo, it started to become whining.

Sounds like an active substance to me! :

Whoah, I'm not disputing the psychoactive properties of thujone;

"Yo west-side".. of where? :)

"Yo west-side".. of where? :)

West coast of finland where I live, the town is Vaasa, less than 100k people living there. In the east, the nearest coast is china. Typically east and west side in finnish hip hop are either the eastern or western parts of the capital (helsinki) area.

LET US SAIL THROUGH THE SKAGGERAK INTO THE FINNISH SEA AND INVADE... Novgorod. Finland is small and only has butter and wood and a bunch of giant fuzzy people. Novgorod is much more conquest-worthy.

For 105 days the world held its breath and learned the word sisu, while Russians died at the incredible rate of nearly 10,000 per day and the Finns lost 250 per day. When the armistice finally came on March 13, 1940, the Finns counted 25,000 dead, 55,000 wounded, and 450,000 homeless, a terrible price for a country of only four million people. However, even the Finns did not know the devastation that they had caused the Russians until years later. All this was at the hands of an army of less than 250,000 (mostly light infantry, home guard units) with hardly any anti-tank weapons (except Molotov cocktails) and 41 operational fighter aircraft. In the words of my father-in-law, Antti Olavi Pönkänen, who fought in this war: "Our lakes are full of dead Russians."
