I quit drinking, and then I lost my car, and my house, my girlfriend and my job and my self respect. Now I'm homeless, unemployed, riding public transpo, broke, unloved and suicidally depressed, but you know what? today I don't have to drink.

Blurry Sharp Meltdown
2001-08-04 10:15:00
When you've been up all night sampling other Spocktails and guzzling absinthe, you need a morning pick-me-up with some KICK. Time for a tall glass of Blurry Sharp Meltdown!
The Blurry Sharp Meltdown is part chemical, part liquid. Take a tall glass, squeeze in two fresh grapefruit and three oranges. The juice must be FRESH. Bottled juice or (bleah!) juice-from-frozen-concentrate will just make you puke after you've been up drinking all night. Add two shots of vodka, Kettle 1 or Absolut will do nicely. Fill a second glass with DARK, thick coffee, a tablespoon of brown sugar, and two tablespoons of half&half. Get a small bottle of cool spring water.
Arrange on the counter two capsules of Metabolift (with Ma Huang) and a 100mg capsule of 5-HTP.
Put the 5-HTP on your tounge and wash down with half the juice. Take the two Metabolift capsules and wash down with the rest of the juice. Chug the coffee. Chug the water.
You'll feel refreshed and ready for another day -- not hungover at all.

Robert Helms makes a living volunteering for medical experiments. Though Helms — and almost all guinea pigs — get paid for their participation in medical trials, they are still "volunteers" according to a byzantine legal code. They are compensated for their time, not paid to ingest medicine. He and "guinea pigs" like him have learned the intimate art of taking catheters in their veins, tubes in their intestines, EKG electrodes on their nipples. (More...)
