I bought some real Kava online. What type of dose do you recommend for someone that has never done Kava, but has done Kratum? Also, you said it’s a PITA. Is that just because of the taste?

Honestly, the most annoying part about it is the taste. I experimented with putting it in hot tea but I felt like it diluted the effects. And unless you kept stirring it, it left a film at the bottom at that you had to try and down all at once at the end. Lately I’ve been toss and washing it with pineapple juice. That…

The Phil Spector album has the distinction on not only being one of the greatest Christmas albums of all time, but one of the greatest albums period. We hear Darlene Love’s White Christmas and Frost the Snowman on the radio so much around Christmas that we forget how great those songs are. If you find yourself…

Exactly. There’s no reason to believe this will end any differently than the XFL, or any number of other failed leagues that came before it or since. As I said before, the entertainment landscape has changed. People can now get any content they want, any time of day or night. Football just doesn’t hold the same place…

This is called the “Marshawn Lynch” effect. Not to be confused with the “Mario Balotelli” effect, which no longer seems to exist. But back in 2012, it was quite a phenomenon on Deadspin. Lots of “Mario Balotelli does thing” articles chronicling all his dangerous, stupid hijinks that Deadspin declared to be positively…

Ahh I see. Carry on then.

The game is still on right now and just went to overtime. What do you mean when you say this is “the only thing of note that happened”? It’s a great game.

Immediately after making these comments, Clowney got up and walked to the shower. He sprained is knee and will be out for the rest of the season.

You’re not qualified to diagnose him and neither am I. I do know that his wife said he threatened to blow his own head off. That leads me to believe he’s probably in some kind of severe pain, even if it is self inflicted

Definitely legal in most states. There’s actually a documentary coming out about the fight to keep it legal. It’s being made by Chris Bell, the director who made the great documentary “Bigger Stronger Faster”. I’ve never really had too many unpleasant side effects, other than the taste. If you take too much of the…

Only with Kratum. I’ve done fast and slow strains. The slow, at best, gives you that warm hug similar to pain pills. That’s why it’s been used by people to come off opiates. Although I think it becomes less effective after a month of using it consistently.

Any Kratum or Kava users out there? Still legal. For now

So some people are floating Kristen Gillibrand as a POTUS nominee next term, especially since she was on the forefront of this issue. She’s been a champion of sexual assault victims for years. Mark my words though, the backlash is coming, and it will come for her. I’m not saying this is right, but I would bet a large…

I feel kind of bad(?) for Sarah Palin. Is that the word? I didn’t think it was possible to feel sympathy for her. She’s just so awful and such a cynical political opportunist. And yes, she’s also a racist. But we had a situation happen like this in our family. One of our family members committed domestic violence on…

There are always going to be referees though. And there are always going to be disputed calls. This particular rule might need to be changed, but that won’t change the “well actuallys” in the future. That’s part of football.

Maybe the rule should be changed. But if the conclusion that a lot of you are drawing from this is “This NFL is such a fucking dumpster fire and a huge joke”, then I don’t know what to say to you. The last quarter of that game was absolutely insane and could not be rivaled by any other live event as far as drama goes.…

I feel like the ratings downturn of the NFL isn’t going to be so easy to capitalize on. The NFL still puts out a great product. The production value is great, and the players are freakish athletes. The problem is that we have so many entertainment options on demand now that sitting down for a four hour football game…

Nest thermostats are like $200. That’s not really that big a deal for your house. They are essentially mini computers. I thought you were going to say he bought two boats or something.

The wedding party will involve the bridesmaids wearing Uggs and the reception will serve pumpkin spice lattes. I’m sorry, this girl is very basic.

“Doc, how’s his knee look”
