In low doses, nutmeg produces no noticeable physiological or neurological response. Large doses of 30 g or more are dangerous, potentially inducing convulsions, palpitations, nausea, eventual dehydration, and generalized body pain. In amounts of 5-20 g it is a mild to medium hallucinogen, producing visual distortions and a mild euphoria. A test was carried out on the substance which showed that, when ingested in large amounts, nutmeg takes on a similar chemical make-up to MDMA (ecstasy). However, use of nutmeg as a recreational drug is unpopular due to its unpleasant taste and its side effects, including dizziness, flushes, dry mouth, accelerated heartbeat, temporary constipation, difficulty in urination, nausea, and panic. A user will not experience a peak until approximately six hours after ingestion, and effects can linger for up to three days afterwards. Any unpleasant side-effects would persist throughout this period.

This sounds like a wonderful drug!

I'd say it ranks right there with heroin and crack for the drug of choice .......

NOT!

Good point...where is Clapton??? I'l be right back...
#101 Fresh Cream, Cream

Yikes! How wrong is that?

BUT -- if the criterion for being a great album is that it changed music . . . the Beatles did it, but I would pick only Sgt. Pepper or Revolver -- probably it (the real change) started with Revolver and personally I'd go with that one-- and that would be it for them on the list. I mean, I love the Beatles, but I think 4 albums considered to have "changed" music is too much. On the other hand, I think that you could argue that Nevermind (Nirvana) and American Idiot (Green Day) did. . .

But these things are completely subjective, so this argument can only be for fun.

I agree that it is subjective and it must be for fun.

What about "Country"? I don't particularly care for it but there has to be one great artist in the same vein as the ones mentioned!

My Grandma's 98th b-day is on Saturday and we are heading up to Green Bay to celebrate. Almost every year in the past since my wife and I have been going up for her b-day, we have gotten a MAJOR storm either right before or on that day.

98! That is great

Here is an interesting situation...my sunscreen is frozen!
I went shopping yesterday during lunch, so it sat in my car all day.
I wonder if freezing alters the effectiveness of sunscreen.
I wonder if I am the first person in the history of the world to freeze a bottle of sunscreen.

I'm off to work. Hi Ho and whatnot.

That is very funny about your sunscreen. You are going to be in for a treat from your Alaska weather. How many hours before you leave now?

You are probably right -- although I have absolutely no knowledge at all about country. However, I think the Rolling Stones list was supposed to be for rock and roll music . . .

Okay 6 Days from the boards and you guys rack up over 100 pages ...I looked at the summaries and if there is anything important that I may have missed pm me please ...But had a greta break from the board , worked on the FJ , went 4 wheelin and a good friend came in from Chicago ...So...

The High res artwork for the shirts I have been waiting for has finally started coming in , so I will have the final cleaned up version of our artwork by the end of this month ....It would be sooner but were going to Disneyland the 23rd thru the 25th ...LOL

You're right about that list. Like any list there is no way it can not be exclusive of something and biased by something (age, sex, race, place of birth, etc)

Brack, I think this is just a preview of things to come...I think Spring Fever has hit a lot of us...Those who aren't cooped up at work (like I am ) are taking advantage of the nice weather in most areas right now to GET OUT!!!!
So things are a little slower around here these days...

 

[PBader]

Thanks for the get-well wishes everyone. Feeling better today - basically just have the fever and no real appetite right now. Had a killer headache late yesterday and couldn't take anything so that really stunk (& hurt). Fell asleep last night around 7 and slept until 7 this morning (at least I don't remember getting up which doesn't really mean anything as I tend to sleepwalk).

Anyway, I'll probably be around off and on for the rest of today.

Glad your feeling better Lorri. Hopefully you will be 100% soon.

That's why I thought it might be fun to 'discuss'.
I knew we could all remain civil & find out something about one another's tastes & preferences in the process.

Anyone else planning on going to the Night of Joy. My DW and I (DS too I hope) will be there then. We were at the park last year but it was sold out.

 

[bellelinus]

Counterintuitivity is my specialty.

That is quite a talent! And it was fun to discuss the Rolling Stones list, since we managed not to breakout into a virtual fistfight over it.

Thanks! It's a great subject and a great way to get to know a bit more about each other.

It's also made me pull out my Sgt Pepper's album (CD) to play while I DIS tonight.

 

[PBader]

I'm definitely going -- do you think I'd miss the opportunity to enjoy this:

Yes, that's me and yes, I was having exactly as much fun as appearances would suggest . . .

How fun Julie

 

[got2travel]

Brack if I lived closed I would definitely go to NOJ. A few years back we had gone to 4 or 5 Third Day concerts, basically followed them around the US. They were playing NOJ and I was trying desparately to figure out how I could swing a trip but it just didn't work out. My son would absolutely kill me if I went without him.

Hi everyone!

How are we all doing today?
