  1. What about competition cheer?
  2. Thanks for the clarification and apologies for the catty response.
  3. "Conservative Christian vales" is a euphemism. It refers to a loose collection of specific opinions about "culture"(in a sense so broad that it is basically meaningless) and that have very little to do with theology.
  4. Yeah, I might have misread that "myth" part. In any event, I would be open to recommendations, too. My body is broken.
  5. Anecdotes are weak evidence, but personal experience is the only thing that matters here. Scourge said, "I've tried it several times and found it unpleasant." It's not a myth that he felt like this. Fwiw I too have never had a pleasant experience: never felt relaxed, never had the giggles, never got the munchies, etc. I'm not sure if I would call my experience paranoia, but I become anti-social and want to be left alone. What makes it worse is that I feel guilty for feeling this way when everyone else is socialiable. The only times I've had a different experience were when I decided to drink, too. Then, I feel violently ill on top of the extreme self-consciouness.
  6. How big are Forrest's parents? Brothers?
  7. It tastes like ________? Dread? Wind in dry grass? Or, rats feet over broken grass in our dry cellar?
  8. For there to be a causal relationship between what they believe and the results, wouldn't Each individual have to know what he believes ... like clearly, Each individual have to know how this set tenets apply to winning wrestling matches, And "They" all have to believe the same thing and how it applies to winning? I mean if they just agree that there is a higher power and not on the specifics of theology, then the "Christian" distinction is meaningless.
  9. Fair enough, but I think you would have a tough time synthesizing the tenets of their faith. There are so many wild discrepancies in belief that the label is ... Well it doesn't mean much of anything.
  10. No joke: I texted the "see you next time" acrostic to my ex-wife for several months before the show-cause order was served.
  11. That said, Josephus does mention Jesus. So, there's a roughly contemporary source from outside the Christian tradition.
  12. Its pretty easy to get an amphetamine (adderall, vyvanse, dexedrine) or amphetamine-adjacent (ritalin, modafinil, concerta) rd for ADHD. What is NCAA policy on these? I'm sure there must be dr notes, forms to fill out, and other bureaucratic hoops. But if it's doable, how common is it? Is there any stigma?
  13. 2007, we hardly knew ye; 2008: "Hold my beer"; 2009 has entered the chat; 2010: "That was a special weekend for me but not for you, I guess." --- I cant decide which cliche to use
