Enough about chess engines; should we test for performance enhancing drugs?

Alternative Topic: Performance Enhancing Drugs

Post by parkejo » Tue May 09, 2006 9:04 pm

There are many performance enhancing drugs that could ruin correspondence chess. Whiskey is my personal favorite because it helps me relax. I wish I had one now. I often need a stiff drink when reading the latest general forum posting. (Yes, I know I should not read them if they upset me, and I'm in therapy about that.)

But there are certainly others. Caffeine for alertness. And then what about those pills I'm constantly getting offers about in my email trash file. And then what about the fact that some things are legal in some countries (I've only heard about some of the things that go on in Amsterdam!) that aren't legal in the U.S. We must level the playing field!

Gmiller, something must be done!

you bring up an excellent point. in the interest of fairness, i propose that everyone submit a urine sample to gmiller. greg, can you post an address for that? :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: also, please disregard any failed drug tests you may dig up from my past. my urine was clean but i dropped half a joint in there...

not urine samples??!~~~~@@~~~!!!

I think instead of urine samples we should just deposit #2 samples because they can easily be sent through the US Mail with no spillage factor involved....once this is done then we can get those dog sniffers the poooolice use to find out who is taking drug enhance crap while using chess engines to figure out their next reply. Once this is accomplished then we can send them through a time portal to the year 2525, if man is alive by then!

I don't know what do you think.

alcohol during play

Aleksander Alekhine once was so drunk during a tournament that he stood up and urinated all over a losing position. He could have just resigned.

Sounds like a pretty emphatic resignation to me.

:shock: :?: Boy, if it were me, I'd be worried about getting zapped with a bolt of lightening in my private part whilst peeing on the monitor...unless it wasn't plugged in...or if you were anykind of a man you would use white out instead...less polution!!!!

The MythBusters already showed that there's little danger of electricity being conducted through urine. The reason being that it breaks up into little beads well before it hits the ground.

Yeah, I'd say it's ok to drink your coffee so long as it wasn't on the same desk as shammer's computer. There isn't enough caffine in coffee to have much of an effect but we don't know what was in shammer's urine.

please note that the urine needs time to break into beads. please people, when urinating on your computer (or any electrical device) keep your distance. it's just common sense...stay safe

Tarzan-Jane

Post by petemarkou » Thu Mar 22, 2007 3:24 pm

When Jane initially met Tarzan in the jungle, she was attracted to
him, and during her questions about his life , she asked him how he
had sex ? ''Tarzan not know sex" he replied. Jane explained to him
what sex was.

Tarzan said "Oh,....Tarzan use knot hole in trunk of tree."

Horrified Jane said, " Tarzan you have it all wrong, but I will show
you how to do it properly."

She took off her clothing and laid down on the ground. "Here" she
said, pointing to her privates, "you must put it in here."

Tarzan removed his loin cloth, showing Jane his considerable manhood,
stepped closer to her and kicked her in the crotch !

Jane rolled around in agony for what seemed like an eternity.
Eventually she managed to grasp for air and screamed " What did you do
that for ?"
Tarzan replied, " Check for squirrel"
