Someone please keep a link to this discussion handy, just in case someone 100 posts down the road dares to ask "Is this thread really random stuff?"  We can answer that yes, indeed, it is.

On a different topic:

I have a cold.  Sunday night I started getting congestion in the roof of my mouth and my throat felt kind of closed off.  Couldn't move it no matter what I did.  The trick of gargling salt water, which I have had work before, didn't help.  Monday didn't get much better, and I found an interesting remedy of eating raw garlic.  So I did that Monday night, two cloves.  I don't know if anyone has ever eaten raw garlic, but it's kind of like setting fire to your mouth, mind, and soul. But, wow, it really opened up my throat and drained things.  It didn't actually cure the cold, but it cleared me up for an hour or two and I think expedited the "junk stuck in my sinuses" stage to the "junk anxious to get out of my body" stage, which I suppose is a good thing.

I also learned why garlic is known as a bane to vampires.  I definitely felt like all forms of evil were being purged from my body.

So, anyone willing to suffer to alleviate a different form of suffering, keep that trick in mind.

That explains a lot about Wario.

You get used to eating raw garlic after a while. It's said to prevent you from getting tics latch on to you. When I was younger I spent a lot of time in tic infested grass. So I ate raw garlic. And I agree. It's not that pleasant. But you definitely get used to it.

And I think I have food poisoning. Fun.

Just throw up and you'll be fine

No thanks. I prefer to suffer for a few days if I have a choice.

[KingZog3]

Not sure why I didn't do this sooner, but I realized I really needed to change my signature.

Friend of mine has a rather serene way of accepting vomiting. Granted, this is when he gets drunk and not food poisoning, but the concept might be the same. He views drunken vomiting as inevitable. It flows more freely and less painfully if you just let it happen. It was always a little disconcerting how calm he was when throwing up. Then he just continues as if nothing happened. I suspect he channels the ancient Romans who use vomitoriums the way they've never been used.

I find his logic convincing, but I can never just let it go. When I throw up, it gets very violent and tears up my insides.

If you can manage, try to get a prescription for Zofran. Works miracles.

Afrin nasal spray. Worked wonders for me.

[GeoLib]

make sure to get into the spirit of gunpowder before reading the thread. you have to understand that you can't judge the cards without getting a grasp of the greater picture. that's why so many people thought bomb was a bad card, they just compared it to island without any context! that's a really narrow minded way to go about it.

Oh my god I totally missed this thread because I glanced at it and determined that it looked like a lame expansion. I'm so glad you posted the link so I could read all the drama. What fun!

[shraeye]

dude, raw garlic is great!

That stuff is good, but it has problems.  If you use it too much, or for too long of a time, it can lead to rebound congestion. Basically, if you use it daily for more than a few days, once it wears off you can get extremely congested, even if you're not really sick any more, so you pretty much have to wait around for that to go away while you can't breathe, or just continually use Afrin for about forever. 

So I try to keep the use of that to a minimum.

Maybe Tables is actually bullying Joseph and pressuring him to tell us otherwise?

Joseph upvoting this post confirms my suspicions. Let's all report Tables.

Waa! F.DS is bullying me!

Are you going to come up with a fan expansion to replace Alchemy next?

...I don't get it?

I wasn`t interested in that thread when it was just about a fan expansion. I check back on it 4 pages later and "WHAAAA! How did this happen!?".

If there was ever an appropriate time for the "well, that escalated quickly" meme, it was for that thread.

I had already added one before I saw this.  Too bad I wasn't reading the thread as it was going.

I just made the splash and bought a Wii U. I'm getting it with 3 games - Mario Kart 8, Pikmin 3 and Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze - all critically acclaimed games, and I only actually need to buy two of them (MK8 has a deal for a free game, which I've chosen Pikmin 3). I'm looking forward to getting it. Anyone here got a Wii U, and any games you'd recommend? I'm thinking of buying New Super Mario Bros. U and Super Mario 3D Land, primarily. I've also considered Wind Waker HD, but since I own Wind Waker I'm less convinced it's worthwhile.

[Lekkit]

I'll be getting a Wii U when the new Smash Bros arrives. Mainly I want it for that and Bayonetta 2.
