Apparently all that Kaopectate didn't stop his mouth from shooting off crap.

First, ho ho ho and a bottle of ... bourbon.

There's no way Kaopectate did all that damage. Lil' Dicky (as his boyhood chums called him) must have been eating paint chips off the barn door while sitting underneath some power lines.

Mmmmmmmmm paintchips.

Paintchips dipped in Kaopectate. Move over, Trench.

shame he wasnt drinking turpentine instead.

I like chalk. The pink chalk tastes like dusty.

Pharmacia did deny, however, claims that excessive use of thier product causes users to lose thier eyebrows.

Pharmacia was bought by Pfizer, not too long ago... Take that where you will, but the cross-drug opportunities are too juicy to pass up... ;)

LPB

Now we know what happened to Dick, but 'Enquiring minds' want to know, what caused Sen. Kerry's face to turn to leather?

Well, this new information certainly helps my research into the question, "What makes dimocrats dim?".

Sung to the tune of "What do the Simple Folk Do" perhaps?

No, no, he was chewing on the paint chips at the UN. That's the only way to explain his current mental state.

Unfortunately, he hasn't been smoking plutonium too. That'll finish you in about a week, even with a dose in the microgram range.

Great juxt Scott.

Enjoying right along.

Plutonium. Ick. The stuff is so bloody toxic it doesn't need radioactivity to kill you.

Yup, it'll just eat your lungs right apart. It's very reactive chemically and forms a really nasty base oxide, which forms a very toxic base on contact with water. The low pH of the solution damages your lungs, while the radioactivity and toxicity kill you. I read somewhere that one pound of plutonium, equally distributed, would kill the entire US population - that equates to a lethal dose of about 1.62 micrograms. Nasty stuff.

Ken, I think Ashcroft just added you to a list.

Oh Lisa! You and your stories! Bart is a vampire! Beer, and lead in Kaopectate, kills brain-cells! Now lets go back to that...building...thingy... where our beds and TV...is.

Sorry, I just took two courses of general chemistry and read The Sum Of All Fears. And no, I don't have anything that nasty sitting around (you'd have to be completely crazy to even think about trying to get that stuff.) All I have is... AAAAHHHH! DON'T SHOOT! I'M NOT THE GUY YOU'RE LOOKING FOR! HELP!

And I don't do any flying, so it doesn't matter anyways. ;)

I feel much safer now that Kaopectate has been leashed. Now I will have less worry time and more time to spend keeping my kid from eating the lead free paint that chips so much faster than the leaded kind used to do.

I wonder, since the California AG has so much time on his hand we he be tackling the huge dozes of mercury in our government mandated (and now forced) childhood vacinations?

Actually the merger of Pharmacia and Pfizer uncovered the discovery of a nasty reaction between Kaopectate and Pfizer's big drug, Viagra.

Studies have shown that the regular use of Viagra with the occasional use of leaded Kaopectate can cause your eyebrows to fall off.

Uh...if you have diarrhea maybe you should wait till that goes away before sex...

Especially if you're into...eww I don't even wanna picture it...

B psycho: EEEEEEEWWWWWWW!

Jericho,
Vaccinations are NOT mandated. They are recommended. I have avoided giving my kids shots for years and have refused to vaccinate my youngest two.

Of course, telling a military doc is like waving a red flag, but when you bring up state exemptions to vaccinations, they are more ignorant of the law that GIVES YOU A CHOICE and most states don't require that the doctor or nurse tell you that you DO have a choice.

The exemptions vary from state to state, but there are three:

Medical/allergy
religious
personal/philosophical

Only for the active duty armed forces are vaccinations mandated via presidential order.

I really pitched a hissy fit with my two youngest about the Hib shot and the vitamin K shot (totally unneccessary) at birth and scowled right back at the nurses and the pediatrician.

I came to the hospital armed with the state exemptions for Missouri (which has VERY liberal exemptions) and they had to back down. Score one for freedom of choice.

My favorite line they used was "If you don't vaccinate them, they will NOT be able to attend school..." more BS from the control freaks in government. I smiled and said, "Oh, that's okay.
I homeschool." Heh heh heh.

However, be SURE you have your exemptions in hand when you go to the doctors office. If you do an online search, you will be able to find the exemptions in the data base or from your state's freedom of choice in health care advocates.

Also, if they threaten you will Social Services, be sure to have an attorney represent you with a letter that he/she can write outlining the exemption and why you qualify and why they can't do anything to do.

Saves hassles later on. My attorney here is a Seventh Day Adventist in the Bible belt, so there isn't too much kicking about it. Now, while NONE of this should be construed as legal advice, hopefully it will help you with where to start looking to help yourself and your family make the decisions best suited for you.

Yup, I want my kids to suffer from all sorts of diseases. Nothing is funnier than a toddler with measles.

Every generation of 16-22 year olds are brain damaged. You can blame Kaopectate or vaccinations if you want, but really you just have to wait until the kids run for President to find out if they are really brain damaged. Like Gep.

Seriously, I have seen claims that mercury in vaccinations are the cause of an increase in "diagnosed" autism. If you quickly assume that vaccinations have caused the jump in "diagnosed" autism, you need to have your skeptical meter recalibrated. Maybe it has, I don't know. But I doubt it. Don't underestimate the medical community's desire to find disorders by redefining existing disorders. I can reduce or increase the poverty rate tomorrow, too. All I have to do is change the sensitivity of my "testing" or redefine poverty.

You also probably believe that your kid has ADD/HDAD. "I won't vaccinate my kid from serious disease, but I will put him in a cocaine-based stupor for a made up disorder b/c its easier than teaching discipline."

I haven't had a single vaccination in my entire life, and so far, it hasn't done much damage. Nope, it's everyone else that's crazy, not me.

I liked the "South Park" cure for ADD. The "Shut-up, sit down, and do your homework or I'll smack the s**t out of you!" plan.

As for vaccinations causing problems...I got injected for everything from parrot fever to housemaid's knee when I was in basic training. Didn't do anything more than make me go "ouch."

Shoot, if you want mercury exposure, just eat fish. And with your mercury, you get plenty of different types of polychlorinated bi- tri- and quad- phenols. Every one a persistant pollutant and bioaccumulative toxin. Not mention the endocrine and immune system effects they have.

Hey, don't knock his Kaopectate usage. I'm sure it helped him pass some thick loafs of legislation that had been blocked up in his committee.
