ephedra

also known as ma huang, is a popular dietary supplement in the United States and has been used for thousands of years in Chinese medicine. Ephedra is a compound ofnaturally occurring compounds that are found in plants. Manufacturers are required by law to declare the amount of ephedra in each serving. (25mg per serving, or 100mg per day)
2) substance now banned thanks to former Orioles pitcher Steve Bechler. Bechler, who will never be confused with fitness guru Jack Lalanne, died in 2003 of a heat stroke but was found to have ephedra in his system, along with a load of caffiene pills and pseudoephedrine. Because of his death and other 'claims', the gov is now in the process of banning ephedra in 3-2004. While some may argue in Bechler's family's side, some people casually miss these facts:

- although listed at 239 in the Orioles' media guide, when Bechler's ticker quit, he was 320 lbs(!!) (source CNNSi) at his autopsy.

- Bechler was not accustomed to the warm S Florida climate.

- he had a history of heart problems and a bad liver PRIOR to taking ephedra.

- he was on a liquid diet.

- it was revealed at the autopsy that Bechler was abusing ephedra. From the tox report, it was revealed that Bechler was taking at least 3 tablets per serving, possibly more.

1) I stocked up on some TwinLab energy fuel yesterday since the gov seems to want to take another part of my life away.

2)like anything in life, ephedra is effective when used in moderation. Steve Bechler seemed to think that moderation was 4 caplets per serving. Not that I would wish anything bad on those who abuse any type of substance, but because one individual (who was 80 lbs overweight, I might add) abuses a NATURAL SUPPLEMENT that has been around for 1000s of years, now we all have to suffer.

My boss dropped 20 reports on my desk right when I was getting ready to clock out for the weekend.

What a cocksucker.

crapped out

You couldn't imagine how pissed I was when I fired up my computer this morning and found out that my three week old 160 GB drive crapped out on me.

BOHICA

acronym, although pronounced as if it is a single word, for "Bend over! Here it comes again."

Commonly used around the workplace when getting repeatedly fucked by the work center supervisor. Very commonly used within the military, specifically the navy and FFG-22.

(Office Space reference)

Bill Lumburgh asking Peter Gibbons to work on Saturday is a perfect example of getting fucked by the supervisor.

Lumbergh asking Peter to come in on Sunday is even more fucked up. Peter should have yelled "BOHICA!" and walked out of the office.

own

belonging to one person. To have ownership of an item.

Denis Lemieux: Joe, who own the Chiefs?
Joe McGrath: OWNS, OWNS!
Denis Lemeiux: OWN-ZA! OWN-ZA!
Joe McGrath: wordI don't know/word.
Denis Lemeiux: Thanks

we need to talk

what is usually said at the office before a long-winded speech by the boss. Is often followed by "Your services are no longer needed."

"Jack, we need to talk. Since profits are down by 12% and we are looking to downsize the corporation, I am going to have to tell you that your services are no longer needed. Go luck finding around job."
