i just looked up the definition of 'puff the magic dragon', a song by peter paul and mary which was supposed to be a fairy tale song but was actually a song about smoking marijuana.

intersting definition at the top of the list:


Puff The Magic Dragon

When getting a blowjob the man presses firmly against th back of a womans head at the momment of ejaculation. This forces the **** into her throat causing he to choke and forcing the **** up through her nostrils giving the appearence of a dragon blowing smoke!

many people screw up their lives by drinking alcohol which is a reason why I will never 'get into it' such as drinking by myself or with friends. there is just too much risk to develop the addiction. :|

I drink by myself sometimes. If your having a night in watching a movie/tv/**** then a couple of beers is always good.


*please don't sue me disclaimer*
In no way is this meant to offend anybody who has suffered at the hands of alcohol be it by being irresponsible and drinking too much or by being irresponsible and drinking too much and then blaming others.

[tony6]

but what can I say?
I'm Polish-it's inside me.
Polish people has been drinking a lot of alcohol for ages-kind of tradition.
Finally-we invented vodka:)
(and don't believe Russians that they were the ones who did it:)
General rule is: alcohol is for smart people (they know when to stop)

genetic predisposition to traits (such as addiction) are what i am trying to keep in mind. it is much easier for me to become an alcoholic than people without the predisposition. hopefully the med school community isn't too much of a party scene. :P

When I was in a ****ty hotel with no sattelite TV in Rio this summer, the only thing on TV on two channels were this live TV show that would go to scenes of murders just after they happened and interview the witnesses. When I saw it they were interviewing kids outside their school showing a pool of blood under a public phone right outside the gates of the school. They even had a helo hovering above giving the birds eye view. Of course I had no idea what they were saying Brazilian portuguese is a bitch to decipher.

Sounds a bit ****** to me.

You serious Seoul?

If you ever want some free booze where i am then you just cut open a med students artery.

i know what you're saying. the 'get drunk every weekend syndrome' is a big problem at most medical schools. i guess the work is too stressful. ;)

Every weekend!!!! man that aint bad .. i'm sure alot of the squaddies / officers / civilians in the UK get drunk at the weekend, that doesn't mean you have an alcohol problem. I have a few beers every other day and get drunk at the weekend ... as far i'm concerned I don't have an alcohol problem. Maybe I do, but please don't tell me, then i'll have to admit it and go to rehab ... :P .

As far as the med. student thing goes, as Rupert said, it's getting seriuosly drunk every night, not every weekend. I think the reason they probably do that is because they know that they won't be able to drink much at all for the next twenty or thirty years after they graduate, so they have to party hard while they can.

Take it easy and nice pic's.
