This is a silly question but I genuinely don't know the answer being a UK'er who hasn't taken MDMA: Why is it that being on MDMA is referred to as rolling? Is it saying 'eye's rolling into the back of my head'?

I've heard people say it's because your eyes supposedly roll back from the euphoria. I've also heard people claim it's because the intensity fluctuates up and down, and that it started as a term for pressed pills. I think it's one of those things like 4:20 where, whatever the original meaning was, now it's got a series of different stories behind it and most people who use it don't really think about "why" it means what it's supposed to mean.
 
^^^ Awesome post / cartoony goodness solistus, btw the 4.20 thing was my next question ;)

I always thought there was some real 'thing' behind the 4.20 thing that everyone was aware of (besides me, as per usual)

My theories were:

a.) A paragraph from the bible that somehow could be construed to advocate smoking weed. Coincidently there was an urban myth at my high school (I have no idea if it's true) that goes : In the bible there is a passage that reads something along the lines of: smoke of the earth's herb. Or words to that effect.

b.) Some stoned guy at 4.20 am or pm 'woah I'm totally stoned dude' he told his friends, they told theirs and so on and so on...

c.) Neither of the above

EDIT: Finally bothered to find out, well Google it anyway, wonder if this is the actual reason:

The term (4.20) was coined from a group of teenagers at San Rafael High School in San Rafael, California, United States in 1971. The teens would meet after school at 4:20 p.m. to smoke marijuana outside the school.

So it was b.) all along, shame.

This completely pointless post was brought to you by sleep deprivation and the inability to look away from the screen or stop typing even when I know I've over done it, my apologies for it's complete lack of 'anything'

Hallelujah <3

There is a passage of the bible about how all the plants and animals on Earth are there for humans to use, and I think it typically includes the word 'herb' in English translations, but it's not about smoking and I don't think it's a verse 4:20. Found this, too lazy/indifferent to cross-check the info but I don't see the passage I'm thinking of.

The most common story I've heard is that some high school in California got out at 4:10 and some students met daily at 4:20 to smoke up after getting released. This caught on locally and then spread from there. Plausible, but pretty much completely unverifiable.

Never apologize for sleep deprived shenanigans! If I started doing that I'd never make another post that wasn't an apology. Let's just say I'm not awake at 7:30 am right now because I got up early ;)
 
You're thinking about flamingos.

If you weren't, I bet you are now. Bwahaha!

btw: I did a google image search for "flamingo lol" and used the first result ;)
 
No, ha

It was flamingo's...oh wait

Dammit man, I'm really paranoid everytime I get in the shower or look at my naked wife, what do you think btw?

Thing is, whatever I said you'd just travel back in time or implant the thought, so I haven't got a chance really,

Oh btw those videos I was watching were for research for ...errr.... something and I can assure you all the participants were legal.

edit: no angel emoticon, eh? Fuck that noise, moar google image search!

edit2: you are correct, good sir. This is also why you should never play 20 questions for money with Doctor Who (yes, I know he doesn't go by Doctor Who, but if I just said the Doctor out of context it would make a lot less sense, so sue me. Actually, don't sue me, I'm broke).
 
Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here....

Toooooooool <3

edit: I edited this post sooo many times waffling on which line to quote. That song is so good. Dammit, now I need to listen through 10,000 Days.
 
Pics....!!!! you were practically in the damn room,

It all makes sense now it was you that made me do those things to her wasn't it?, post the video to an address I 've never seen before, then transfer everything in my bank account over to someone in the USA I'd never heard of.....;)

I should have realised punching myself in the face randomly isn't normal behaviour, I'm sure David Tennant doesn't get up to this kind of thing =D I think your abusing your Time Lord status tbh
 
My dog is still ill and after keeping me up all night I've had to clean another messy sludge of poo up this morning. :( The smell is awful.

Oh and Ben, what did you rthink of the game last night?
 
I was up a majority of the night slamming my bass to 10,000 days songs.. I can play most of them, they are just so fuckin long. I don't have that kind of stamina anymore (been a while since I played for a long period of time)
 
For a long time now, I thought I was a survivor, but I'm not. I'm the winner. That's who I am - the Time Lord victorious!

Srsly though, if you did that bank transfer it must be late, because my account has about a buck fifty in it right now :\

David Tennant is the best Doctor of all time. Better than Tom Baker. Definitely better than Matt Smith, although he's also great.

Discuss.
 
I agree, I liked the older Doctors I even really liked Ecclestone but Tennant is the Doctor imo

the episodes where he left at christmas, his last ones were really, very good

oh and I'm really going to get slammed for this but as a younger person I liked Peter Davidson and Sylvester McCoy
 
First half we dominated, Bale and VdV were brilliant, gave away a sloppy goal just before half time and they got another one back a minute after half time. We soaked up their pressure pretty well for the rest of the game, Kaboul in particular was very good (dont think I've said that amny times before haha). Idk why jenas was playing, useless as per usual, would've preferred to see Krancjar or Sandro there. Lennon was bloody awful, needs to refind his form and stop doing sweet fa all match every match, no idea why Dos Santos wasn't in the squad, would've much preferred to see him playing.
 
I think we (spurs) are a hell of lot better at soaking up the pressure than we used to be, even though we threw away a 2 goal lead (unforgivable) we used to crumble like England, I still rate lennon he'll find his form I hope, I agree about kranjar but jenas has his moments, well once for forest (missus's team, she still can't forgive me for ruining Brian Cloughs life in 91)...lol

Were you at the game?

I don't get chance anymore living in the middle of absolute nowhere
