h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The real Mike Tyson would just as soon forget about the ear incident, so you are immediately invalidating your claim right up front.

Here, have some and and settle down.

No I wouldn't



MT.

Too busy beating up women?

Ah, but then.. You're not the real Mike Tyson, as observed in my first posting.

Have some to go along with the and .

I have made the connection. You could have put me in the spin bin for a while there. Amatriptaline, imipramine, effexor, paxil, Wellbutrin, prozac: hhmmmm.....Which would I prescribe? (MD for a father, 15 years pharmacy experience) Yeah, prozac. Pass some my way.

I wouldn't prescribe Amatriptaline to anyone. A woman I once knew had been on it so long they had to make her special pills in order for them to be strong enough (she kept developing a resistance). The family had memorized the name of the prescription as "Aim a trip to the line" ... Three of the pills would have killed her. Her daughter, my best friend at the time, took 57. She found her line.

Many many sorrows my friend. I am closer to the experience than can ever be known. I was on Amatriptaline, against my wishes, for a sleep disorder. It helped me sleep: I woke up three days later with no memory of what happened. Apparentally I went to work (drove!) went shopping, visited my gal (who hid my car keys), walked home angry, tried to hot-wire my car the next day and finally someone got my doctor to make a house call. He had some sort of antidote (atropine?) which pulled me out of it. But I lost 3 days and Lord the people, besides myself, I could have hurt! I am suspicious of all antidepressants now. I relate strongly with the Traveling Wilbury Brothers song "End of the Line". (familiar with it? there is a tribute to Jimmy Hendrex in it---sadly two members of the band are now gone: George Harrison and Roy Orbison)

I weep with you! "Ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee."

That'll be Jimi Hendrix then.

The single most influential Guitarist of all time....

The very same, though I'd have to call a toss-up to the 'single most...' bit as between him and Chet Atkins (who apparently influenced Jimi).

Travling Wilburries.. Now it's a long time since I've heard that name.

Imgine an Atkins/Hendrix coproduction! It would have been almost like the Neil Young and Willie Nelson album. If only.........

MJM ACE

I think Chet and Jimi are on even more distant poles of the spectrum.

Just are Nono and Hank

Still, it would be one I wouldn't want to miss.
