    Murph’s Baclofen (or should that be BacloFUN) diary

    Murphyx;1125846 wrote: A funny thing happened earlier this evening. It’s been 2 weeks since I last tasted a drop of Satan’s evil piss (not to be confused with Satan’s arse-flakes which are Kale crisps (chips)). All day I’d been feeling the need to have a drink. Not a craving. Not a desire to drink but a physical need. So, never one to deny one of my urges (just ask Mrs Murph … arf arf!) I popped round to the offy and purchased a couple of cans of Tramp Juice. Tramp Juice is a colloquialism for hideous super-strong lager (9% ABV) and the stuff I was drinking towards the end of my drunkenness. It tastes like drain cleaner, but it’s cheap and gets the job done. It also kills you quite quickly but that’s part of the job it was intended to do.

    It took ten panicky minutes to get home with the cans. It’s literally a 2 minute round trip walk, but I was waylaid by a local ‘tard who for some reason thinks I’m his friend and as well as having to help him with his numerous court appearances and reading letters from the Child Support Agency regarding the numerous children he seems to have sired, I also have to listen to the same stories over and over again and I was fecking desperate to open the drink and get it down my throat. When I finally got back to the kitchen, cursing the window-licker for delaying me, I quickly ripped the can open and poured a glass of the evil filth. I looked at it but couldn’t lift it. It wasn’t what I wanted.

    Confused, I headed back to the offy, after first making sure the eejit had left. I didn’t know what I really wanted; this was a real old-time gagging for a beer type burning desire, but not one booze could actually quench. I looked over the shelves. Snickers? Nope, I didn’t want choc. Bag of nuts? Nah! Ahhhh cake, my old friend. But no, no desire for cake. Then I saw it: crisps (potato chips)!!!!! That was the thing my stupid body was crying out for: bloody crisps.

    I got them home, shovelled the contents into my gob and poured the tramp juice down the sink. Ahhhh, I was sated!

    It’s all very odd. Along with the booze, I’ve lost all interest in sweet things recently and I couldn’t remember wanting crisps since I started my diet, but obviously, on some level, I really needed them.

    Sobriety/baclofen/dieting/exercise (delete as appropriate) does funny things to you.
    Murphy, you are now officially the funniest man in the world. (In my book.)

    I noted the number of views this thread had received as of post 826. on June 1st. I was on the forum when RedThread12 posted 2 days later and the number of views in between was over 200. Either that’s just a few individuals who keep clicking it, despite the fact that the thread is no longer boldened, or it’s 200 unique viewers.

    On this forum the law of thirds is wayyyy wrong. About 5% post regularly. 10% post occasionally and 85% lurk.
    You're also pretty anal (no, not in that way -- stop it, murph!).

    But not as much so as I am.

    Before you posted here, earllier today, I had actually, for knows reason, calculated how many replies per view each of the top blogs got.

    To my surprise, it was almost completely equal (between 18 and 20 replies per view) over the top 10 (or maybe my subjective view of them).

    With one, just one, exception: Moglor (39).

    Why lurk and not post? If you’re a newbie, why not introduce yourself and let us know what’s going on? Are you interested in baclofen as a way out? Do you need help? We might be able to.
    I think missyabby and I answered this one already. On my thread, and earlier.

    If anybody is interested in baclofen and needs help, they should always feel welcome here... and not afraid to post because of a couple of rotten tomatoes.

    And Murphy, what can I say, as ny fors.h=sr=ad hits the keeybord.

      Murph’s Baclofen (or should that be BacloFUN) diary

      The lurking and not posting thing has really puzzled me as well. Like Beatle, I calculate the post per view ratio, because that's how my brain works, and it always hovers near the 20 mark. When I read your law of thirds, my first thought was that shit, there must be only 6 lurkers, why are we bothering! Clearly that isn't the case though.

      I think the thirds law must relate more to model aircraft fora and the like. The perceived sensitive nature of alcoholism and the stigma that society has plastered all over it makes it that much harder to post. Just another thing that society has to answer for.

        yummmmmmm. Kale chips. I do have to point out that I overcooked them (which is what you did) the other night and they were indeed pretty awful. I was famished, though, and ate them anyway. I thought of you, so we sort of had a snack together!

        Then I ate a bunch of peanut MnMs, which I now buy in bulk. And white bread has become a part of my diet.
        It's interesting to me that so many of us try to nutrition ourselves out of that black hole. Also interesting how many of us have so much discipline (some would say obsession) about food. But it doesn't transfer to the booze.

        But those're deep-ish thoughts. oops.

        You are for sure going in my book. What would you like your alias to be? (If I ever start writing for real. Which i sort of have. What constitutes writing anyway? )

        G'day or whatever brits say. and again:

          With one, just one, exception: Moglor (39). You have to take into account the frequency of posts and the length of time a thread has been active if you are trying to work out the number of unique visitors. Someone who visits the forum once every 2 days and reads the same threads each time will count as one hit for a thread that has one update and one hit for a thread that has 10 updates, thus skewing the replies per views ratio. So a thread with few updates will always appear to have a disproportionately high number of viewers.

          Ummm, how about The Stud or Mr Big Cock, you know, something quite subtle. Actually I?m writing a novel too. It?s a kind of a romantic drama. Well when I say romantic, it?s really quite raunchy and when I say drama, it?s really more action based. Well, OK, it?s actually a porno script. Would you like a part in that?

            Lightweight. Drain cleaner is even cheaper, and you can clean your drains with it. Your body was just disappointed you didn't buy the real deal.

                  I thought the convict nation you guys made was Australia. You guys were a lil' rough on them, don't you think? Shipping them all the way across the known world to face an almost certain death for crimes like...oh...not being able to pay off a loan. Those chaps aren't so bad, are they? I've met a few of them, they seem pretty nice.

                    We got rid of them for good reason. Some of them committed the most heinous of crimes such as theft of a loaf of bread, not tugging their forelocks to their betters and generally being poor. Better there than here, I say.

                      Why don't you call it erotic literature? It sounds classier. I think this the new PC term for porno books. Not that you're ever PC about anything, except I guess Sarah Palin. I mean not politically correct in the sense that she's cool. She sucks. And don't go spouting off about that Mr Murphy. I didn't mean in the way you would like her to suck.

                      I know I'm more than a day late here, but did I miss something? Were the pics you considered pornographic, the ones of her in the flag bikini? And the few others that showed her a bit scantily clad, but hardly naked? Had you already edited what I saw? I'm just confused as to what the problem is (was). I couldn't really get on here to express myself. I LMAO when I originally saw it. I don't think the moderators should have a problem with your thread. If people don't want to go on here, they shouldn't. As long as you don't post pics that aren't PC on other people's threads, what would the problem be? Honestly Murph, I think if they shut your thread down, there would be an uprising. We adore you!! So do the lurkers.

                      PS. I think I need a PM. How the heck are you guys calculating the lurkers vs the posters and whatever else? And nobody call me an idiot. Puleez. :thanks:

                        Because, Red, I think it's a porno script, and not erotic literature.

                            It was the expected response of one of the peasant class in the presence of someone from a higher class. By failing to do so, they didn't acknowledge the supremacy of the class structure, on which all of our religious, administrative and legal bodies were based. If the peasantry were to ignore the class structure en masse, the whole house of cards would come tumbling down, so they were removed. Actually, it could be argued sending them to Australia was probably a much kinder sentence than the alternative of sending them to the American colonies as slaves, where death from disease was a virtual certainty.

                            Or have I over-thought your question? Were you actually after a definition of a forelock? It's the piece of hair that would fall over the forehead (a long distant memory in my case) and it was this which was tugged. Or were you after an explanation of tug? I'll send you some photographs later.

                              Could they stop sending them now, please? We're full.

                                Further to above: While UK society has of course changed enormously in this respect, the vestiges of the class structure unfortunately remain and privilege is still bestowed upon those of the highest classes. Just look at that disgusting anachronistic royal family.

                                BTW many Americans claim the class structure doesn?t exist in their country; after all it runs contrary to the meritocratic ?American dream?. While this is mostly true, just look at how in Donald Trump?s company men tremble and women become moist, there are notable exceptions e.g. the Kennedys. It doesn?t seem to matter how many women they murder or rape, they still retain their position of importance by virtue of their birth. I wonder if that would still be the case if their victims were men? But that?s an entirely different discussion.
