Whats that one thing you drink and/or eat to give you that little pick-me-up or boost of energy late in the afternoon?

A large diet cola. Sometimes coffee. I need a little caffeine about an hour after I eat lunch.

Beer!

A cocktail mix of poppers, Viagra and crystal meth.

A nice cup of tea and a custard cream.

i like tea, coffee and energy drinks depending on what sort of pick-me-up i need. i like herbal tea too, especially echinachea and raspberry - good if you're feeling down.

Shit oi have you got any teeth left!?:D

I'm all for variety but this is a bit... much.

That sounds rather dangerous! :eek:

At least you'll be sporting a convenient handle for the paramedics to use when they cart your body away. :p

Nice cold can of lager's the best pick-up for me, I'd say.

A nice long nap. Oh. Eh, probably tea. Or fruit juice if it's particularly hot weather.

"Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, Marijuana, Ecstasy and Alcohol...."

Wait, that's not really likely to boost energy, is it? Meh. Good for what ails ya.

Hot apple cider, goldfish crackers, and baby carrots.

C-c-c-c-c-cocaine's a good pick-me-up, I've heard. Forgot about that actually - some good music is a great pick-me-up as well.

A few years back, it was meth and LSD! These days Adderall is as far as I go and, truthfully, I try to refrain from taking them! I feel too damn bad when I come down!

Not in conjunction with all that...

Naturally. :)

Are you high now, or am I just confusing inebriation with overzealous punctuation? ;) :P

Nah, just tired and down on my luck!!!

Remember kids, drugs are bad. Unless of course, you're using them for medicinal purposes...! :rolleyes:

I'm not entirely sure why that deserved the rolling eyes. Drugs are bad, except for medicinal purposes, in much the same way that having your leg amputated is. It's all to do with appropriate circumstances.

Well hey. If we take two people - one smokes a joint a day and the other eats a McDonalds burger a day; who is more likely to suffer health problems?

I mean, if we're going to ban "bad" things, it would make logical sense to ban all of them, or none at all.

The one who does both?

He wasn't in the selection. He was too busy stuffing his face and watching Teletubbies. :(

Sorry, I just didn't mean to hijack the thread and start a drugs discussion. My own fault for taking the bait in the first place.

I like Electro-shock therapy to my genitals.

Expressos


I prefer Espresso (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espresso#Naming_variations)... Which is hardly "fancy." There's even less (water) to it than regular coffee (<--- watered down swill :p).

Oh, and raw habanero. The pain is excruciating, but the lightheaded (yet not nauseated, or anything like that) floating feeling from the resultant endorphins is actually quite interesting. Dunno if that qualifies as a "pick me up;" something to do when I'm bored :D

Water. I barely drink anything else.

Goodness! Shouldn't chocolate be at the tippy tip top of the list?

My Datsuns (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Datsuns) CD has just finished (like a motherfucker from hell), so I'll put on QOTSA. Thanks. :)

Caffeine is my choice of pickup. Although, as Dissonant Cognition said, I'd hardy call espresso fancy Starbucks shit. It's the standard coffee around here.

Good choices. As I say to all people who like QOTSA, you should check out Kyuss (who are basically the precursors of that band) :P

You know of the Datsuns!:eek:

I have that album too. They're reasonably popular here. :)

apologies if i'm not the first to say it...but then again i'm not trying to be original...

Sex is my favorite pick-me-up

Of course, we love to claim credit for your musicians & actors (except for Russel Crowe, you can keep him).

Horse tranquilisers are goo...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Would you recommend a specific album?

But yeah...soda in general, otherwise tea...coffee as a last resort.

Does that randomly refuse to let you take the cap off, and then delete the contents of what you've just drunk from your stomach?

And sometimes you get two or three times as much as you wanted to drink, and you spill it all over yourself and look like teh noob.

Hmmm, it's hard to say. I like all of them, but most fans are divided as to which is their best, and I guess it depends strongly on personal taste. My favourite is Sky Valley, but it's a bit of a trip, since it has three tracks, each between 15 and 20 minutes, and some people don't like to sit through tracks that long. (they divide these tracks up as different songs live and on singles, though). ...And the Circus Leaves Town, being their last album, is their most QOTSA-like, and Blues for the Red Sun is pretty raw by comparison.

So take your pick out of those three. :p Their first two albums aren't really worth bothering with straight away since the production is quite poor and the music unrefined...plus, they're almost impossible to find anyway. And their "best of" album is more of a rarities collection, with only a couple of songs that feature on the albums above.

I'm thinking ...And the Circus Leaves Town then. Not neccessarily their best, but possibly their most accessible to someone who doesn't have a metal background. I'll have a listen to that one & see what I reckon.

Love the analogy. :D

oooo! /agree! But chocolate is usually more accessible (cheaper too :eek: )

Why is there no mention of exercise:mad:

And eating raw cooking apples FTW! (please tell me someone else does this)

french vanilla cap. and a candy bar

Unless "investigate", in this sense, is synonymous with "set on fire and throw out a high window", you'd be much better not to.

I use chocolate for that last little gasp of energy required to finish a term paper three hours before the morning it is due. And gum, you can't sleep while you chew.

I have that album too. They're reasonably popular here. :)
Yeah.

NOpe you stole Russel Crowe a long time ago, we took him back when the Gladiator came out but he is all yours again.
*Also looks into Kyuss*

Because exercise isn't exactly something you can eat or drink. ;)

Coke.

The soda, not the drug. Though I fear that with my imminent deating I will need it mroe than ever. :(
