ELVISIO'S MAGICAL HANGOVER PREVENTION: What I learned at the Convention LONG LONG AGO... Before you go to the party tent, put TWO bottles of water, FOUR advil, and a multivitamin ON YOUR PILLOW. When you stumble back to your room/RV/tent, consume all the above. As far as "who remembers to do that" once you try it and realize how well it works you will never forget it again. This, and this alone, has stopped more hangovers than I could ever possibly count... Elvisio "doesn't stop the damage to the liver though" Rodriguez

The women in my family always said is was such a huge meal that it was just good to have it over with early enough in the day that they could enjoy the rest of the holiday. Elvisio "over the river and through the woods" Rodriguez

The plastic Tupperware Sippy-cups we all used as kids, maybe? Elvisio "here's a thread about REALLY not being able to hold your liquor" Rodriguez

Yeah, see why I was so grossed out by my initial thought? Good to hear it wasn't the situation though. Elvisio "leave the blacklight at home" Rodriguez

.....you sleep on them. Or was that overly simple? Dude, I hope I'm wrong, but does this mean the hotels sell their used mattresses to the general public? If so, YIKES! ...would not be bringing THAT into my home. Elvisio "boldly going where so many have gone before" Rodriguez

I refuse to believe, despite obvious proof, that we're forty posts into this thing and nobody has mentioned... BURRITO RODRIGUEZ! Elvisio "fuck 'im" Rodriguez

I like turtles! No, not you turtlespeed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMNry4PE93Y Elvisio "halloween is past. Damn" Rodriguez edit to clickify

HA! I graduated Tech in '97. Once I moved off campus, I think I survived on , ramen noodles, and Gumby's pizza. Cheap, but good, but cheap. Elvisio "long time no see" Rodriguez

Flowers ARE lame. Sorry, if said right, and by that I mean MEANING IT, should always be enough. Elvisio "Dear Abby" Rodriguez

There's a pill called Marinol (generic: dronabinol) that will provide THC in a pill form. We use it in my unit as an appetite-booster in very ill patients. It's controlled in the same fashion our other narcotic meds are controlled. Same good THC, none of the messy rolling, bong water stains, or difficult conversations with the guys in blue. Elvisio "doctor please, some more of these, outside the door, she took four more" Rodriguez

Quote 1. Give 95% of Americans a tax break... You and Kallend are both right; both sides were going to jack taxes, it was just a question of how the $$$ would be spent. 3. Rid the world of nuclear weapons. I think it can and should be done... I might disagree here. It's Pandora's box. Now that it's open, it'll never be closed. It's just too powerful. 4. Make college affordable. ...people need to grasp the viability of the community college system and realize that the four-year traditional college education isn't wanted or needed by everyone. Trade schools are another option. I'm making more one year out of a community college associate's degree than I did one year out of my bachelor's degree program. 5. Eliminate oil imports from the middle east and Venezuela. ...there will be no change until there is an outside force that brings the change. 6. Make health insurance affordable and accessible. Right - with the billions of dollars that hospitals and drug companies make every month? No one, no one, will be able to change health care in this country. ...I work in health care. My wife is a pharmaceutical drug rep. And you're right. Candidates always make promises they don't keep. Can we implement the ever-popular two-year opt-out clause? Elvisio "only time will tell" Rodriguez

Does that include signs? I hope not, or I guess not, since I drove by about a thousand signs for both parties literally a stone's throw from my polling site. Elvisio "we should figure out how to use the old signs to heat our homes or make electricity or some shit like that" Rodriguez

Thank you, your picture has been my desktop background for the past couple weeks. Problem is, Halloween is over and Thanksgiving is on the way and I need a new background pic... You guys wouldn't mind jumping with a frozen turkey, would you? Thanks for your help; Elvisio "or even a cooked turkey" Rodriguez

Also done! Ah, the satisfaction that comes with properly discharging one's civic duty... Dude, no complaints though. In and out, probably took fifteen minutes for the complete round trip, my coffee didn't even get cold. Elvisio "and now for a fun-filled evening of maps with blue and red bits colored in" Rodriguez

Nuff Said. Elvisio "sound off if you got a good voting story" Rodriguez

The one on paintballs was pretty cool. The one on feminine hygiene pads was one I definitely could have lived without. Elvisio "sheesh" Rodriguez

My favorite line is that "it isn't a glue, it's a 'flexible bonding agent.'" Or, in true Billy Mays style: "IT ISN'T A GLUE, IT'S A FLEXIBLE BONDING AGENT!" Elvisio "TSO approved?" Rodriguez

My condolences to all working night shift tonight. I'll be at a party... woo hoo! Extra hour of partying! ...must remind my liver to be ready for the extra onslaught... Elvisio "heaven and hell" Rodriguez

No easy answers, it all depends on the kid. Try it once or twice, paint it up as a "here's your chance to earn our trust" kinda thing. If he violates the trust, drop the boom on him. Elvisio "no kids, but for someone incomprehensible reason feel qualified to butt in on this conversation" Rodriguez

And to drive faster. Elvisio "not in the fast lane, was it?" Rodriguez

Nowadays, the day AFTER Halloween is the best. It means two things are on a deep discount: 1.) Bags and bags and bags of unsold halloween candy. and 2.) Pumpkins! For roasted pumpkin seeds. Elvisio "two days and counting" Rodriguez

So throughout school (the second time around) my professors spewed no end of filth about wikipedia, the idea being that since it was an open source that allowed any yokel to modify the information being conveyed that it was useless as a source of information. For example, there was a special level of hell reserved for any student who dared try to cite wikipedia as a reference in any paper. (I totally understand this one though, and at the fact that people still did it!) Their argument was that google wasn't much better, but that it is possible to intelligently sift through the results of a google search to find a "good" resource while with wikipedia what you get is what you get. But more and more, I see people going to wikipedia as a knee-jerk reaction when they need to know about something. So is this OK, or one of the signs of the Apocalypse? Do we trust our "average joe" to know what the hell he's talking about, or is this becoming a huge case of the blind leading the blind? Elvisio "better or worse than google" Rodriguez

Dude... Step one: scan Step two: post Step three: discuss Elvisio "by the numbers" Rodriguez

And now it's Monday. But since I worked 12-hour shifts all weekend, today is MY Sunday. I'll be home most of the day, watching bad TV, postwhoring, and thinking of all the more productive things I could be doing. Have fun, 9-to-5ers! Elvisio "gloating" Rodriguez

Goddamnit, I'm STILL pissed off about the whole "30mph/60mph average on the racetrack" question so don't even get me STARTED with another one of these damn mathematical discussions! ... Elvisio "the answer is 42" Rodriguez
