the WINNERS DON'T DO DRUGS banner

Subject: the WINNERS DON'T DO DRUGS banner

I need some clarity so I can decide if I'm a winner or a loser.

So, are we talking about all classes of drugs here? For instance, are we differentiating between illicit and prescription? I'm assuming I'm a pretty clear cut loser if I'm on heroin or coke, but what about pot? Still a loser? Where do i stand if I'm: on birth control? using antidepressants? undergoing chemo? diabetic? eating the wrong mushrooms in the forest? does green tea count? how 'bout if i go for a run and manufacture too many endorphins? Loser,loser, loser? what if i just got out of rehab and relapsed? loser, right? yeah, thought so.

finally, are we taking a stand on this theme as a neighborhood? i just need to know if i belong!

I know this is a neighborhood site, and we want to keep it "family friendly", but c'mon! This is Brooklyn! Cannabis sativa is practically the official flower! 8)

Plus, animated banners are annoying. :P :idea: :idea: :idea: :idea: :roll:

unlike emoticons.

Oh Jesus... :roll:

DailyHeights Admin was being entirely sarcastic. See, he has a sense of humor, unlike most of this board.

I don't think either ana.log or I was being serious.

Neither was I?

Oooo.... :evil:

you thought that was serious,
?

:shock:
Did I?

:roll:
*sigh*

We bow before your superior sense of humor!

hmmmm ... i don't know daily heights so i can't be sure whether DH is being facetious.

personally, i think ana.log is being "provacative" ... which is her right within this blogispherian realm. i am sure both daveb and carnivore would agree ... or maybe not ... :?

don't be grumpy ...

thanks for having my back, FLUTE.

(some people get these things)

no they don't --- but that's ok

oops --- i misread your comment --- hmmmm ... ahh, well ... anyway ...

Dude, you guys all sound like you're high.

Just sarcastic. I didn't realize that sarcasm was reserved for the mods, only. Apologies. Maybe that should go in the rules!

Didn't anyone laugh when they saw that scrolling banner? Come on. Stroke my ego.

Does anybody get the reference?

DH-- Nancy Reagan?

The kitten is adorable. My kitten is extremely talented, but she doesn't do that. Yet?

I don't get it, but here's a link to a site selling all kinds of "winners don't do drugs" paraphernalia. I wonder if they realize the irony of the "winners don't do drugs" zippered vinyl pouch?

Love the kitty! Don't get the reference.

In the 80s-90s, coin-op arcade games like "Street Fighter" used to have a "WINNERS DON'T USE DRUGS" splash screen. It would appear in between the title screens and "insert coin" According to Everything2.com, it was part of joint effort by the FBI and AAMA (American Amusement Machine Association).

I couldn't find the full splash screen, curse you, Google Images, but I did find this FBI seal which I think is the same one used in the splash screen:

that's awesome! i never played video games, though.

Ah... misspent youth...

Only if Tom Cruise is behind the campaign!

Obviousy, that kitty is a big LOSER, no matter how cute or talented, I even have word that that kitty can do oragami and drive a motorcycle. See what drugs can do to kittens, all that talent down the drain. Said kitty is probably a liberal too...gross.

You can tell the kitten is a big old hippie because of his long hair.

Plus here is indisputable proof that it's a tree-hugging liberal:

How did you get the image on your post?
