RIP To the Foxy Ab God

I don't come here often these days, but thought this was worth sharing as some of you were friends with Bill.

Re: GHB

Renewtrient and other supplements based on furanone were pretty popular back in the late 90's, sold as a GHB substitute. I had some friends pass out in interesting places and situations from mixing a few shots with alcohol, but it did promote some great sleep.

Re: The Fighter's Mind by Sam Sheridan

i took tennis, ball room dance and swim conditioning. In swim conditioning I almost had to save our starting qb from drowning. I asked him why he had so much trouble and he told me "brothers can't swim." I had never heard that before.

Re: Un Chat Littéraire

Zen is, at best, a corrupt derivation of buddhism. Sakyamuni shows a cat a flower and everybody starts catchin' feelins. heh. More seriously; reading about zen without understanding the basic buddhist program does not strike me as particularly helpful. The Four Noble Truths, Eightfold Path, Three Ch...

Inherent Vice - Thomas Pynchon

Good shit, nice 60's hippie PI story. If you've read a lot of his books, think Crying of Lot 49 rather than GR. Very easy to read, no concentration required to track characters or where the story is going. Enjoyable, fun story.

Re: Anybody have one of those new 3 lb computers?

i have one. Works great, i have big hands and make very few mistakes on the little keyboard. The battery does really last 5-6 hours. The only drawback I've found is the lack of an optical drive. Totally worth the $400. Mine weighs 2.2 lbs and is smaller than a text book, makes travel a lot easier.

Sorry for not including the link.

Formosa Neijia - Science of Internal Strength Boxing

Dave Chesser sells a nice little pdf of "The Science of Internal Strength Boxing" on his blog. It was written in the 30's by a neijia practitioner and the author takes a very straightforward approach to explaining popular IMA concepts from his perspective, which happens to lack a lot of th...

Re: Dance of Shiva with Andrey Lappa

while a guru may not be necessary; a friend or confidant who shares your penchant for spiritual athleticism is generally a good idea to have when shit gets weird, imho.
