nicotine has been found to boost short-term memory and relieve stress, at least in lab rats Lab rats wouldn't be so stressed to start with if they didn't do all this testing all the time.

I plan on closing out the old year and breaking in a new one with a glass of fine champaign, a fat cigar and my better half nearby.
God bless our vices. Acting "better" can wait for another day.

I'd rather have my sloppy cheeseburgers and booze and die early than live to a hundred on bean sprouts and tonic water.

I don't know what I'll do when the liberals ban cheeseburgers

Everything in moderation is still a good idea. I disagree. Everything to excess: Moderation is for monks!
