The Daily Show

OK seriously what point is this trying to make?

I'm all for quoting the YES Network though :D

Lots of companies have been busted since anybody besides the corrupt and moribund SEC started giving a flying fuck about accounting practices; most of them hapless sub-Fortune 1000 operations. Whatever the effect of the fudging, it apparently has to be earned, or accompanied by a lot of natural ability, or both. The market has to be loaded up, as it clearly has been since the late 1990s. If Enron took a time machine and a second set of books back to 1906 they'd still have gone belly-up because that's what the prevailing conditions allowed for.

I'm only funnin', gal youngun. I agree entirely with your last post (I think), but sometimes yr train of thought goes express when I need to get off at 28th Street.

Also, nearly every MLB player between 1950 and 2006 took bennies, apparently. (As I guess many of the Daily Show writers do.)

'strength has no impact on hitting' reactionaries

Yeah right, that's me. Grow the fuck up.

blount, with the right diet and exercise volume (and poss. GH and insulin + anti-rebound drugs [clomid or any estrogen blocking type of shit is a necessary chaser with any anabolic cycle]), they do almost act as a magic pill! but yeah, they do allow you to lift with more weight and frequency but only cause they actually do promote tissue growth so you're stronger and recover faster. the alleged list of what bonds and giambi probably took is fucking amazing. crazy state of the art testosterone sublinguals and creams (the method was combining test + epitest cause they appear in the same ratio in the body, so the lab doesn't see a wacked out ratio). that BALCO dude was like a mad scientist. giambi and some other dudes were also supposedly fucking with growth hormone and insulin.

xpost - haha THANK YOU ROIDNERD! my understanding is that basically 'steroids = much much quicker recovery = you can lift longer, more' but my understanding = 'what i've heard from those creatine using dudes that take lifting WAY too seriously at the gym and get weird about flaxseed the same way potheads do about golden seal'.

I've been look forever of a jpg or gif of that for occassions such as this!

I'm never surprised we're doing the French Mistake around here.

if there's a paragraph in the volumes on this topic on ilb about how a specific drug actually works

that'd be for I Love Chemistry.

Quite frankly, my point was not that I gave a shit about whether Crazy Pants was on drugs rather that:
A) TDS's commentary was not 'histrionic' but instead 'amusing'
B) That YES Network thing was hideously poorly written and Morbius could've just freaking reposted someone else's posts from the Bonds thread on ILB and it woulda been mo better than that.

NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT JOHN STEWART AND HOW HE WON'T SHUT UP ABOUT HOW TIRED HE IS SINCE HE WAS FABULOUS OSCARS MAN.

Meanwhile poor Ricky Williams can't even smoke the weed :(

Back to the thread topic -- I don't see how making fun of Bonds on the Daily Show makes them "reactionaries" anymore than making fun of the Democrats (sometimes) makes them Republicans. "Bonds is a crazed steroid freak" makes for more roffles than "Bonds is being treated unfairly by MLB and the media". Simple.

= more the product of gh/insulin (and being able to afford eating 12 meals of filet mignon a day) than the testo he puts in his glutes.

Ally, I like when Stewart beats dead horses like Oscar fatigue. It's textbook kvetching, and shows his roots in Lenny Bruce... and Smith & Dale (google em).

I acknowledge the fact that this particular episode in the Bonds + Steroids saga is more newsworthy outside the baseball world than the usual finger-pointing/wagging fare. So I expect TDS to say something about it now. Even though the "story" is played from a baseball fan's perspective, I think TDS did a good job with it.

i think the language barrier kept sada from rilly getting the jokey stuff at all.

I'm still waiting for them to come up with a recurring bit I enjoyed as much as "Stephen & Stephen"

And black Republicans are stupid tokens.
