Thank god the olympics are over! You know they nearly didn't even start. The organisers needed a drug-free athlete to light the torch and after much futile searching, eventually had to settle for a lawn bowler from Lidcome (though he did return a positive test for Viagra)
This led me to wonder about other unnatural achievers...
Is it fair that these people should be bestowed with the accolades of history for just being shitfaced
We all know Robert Louie Stevenson Wrote Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde in six days and nights on a cocaine binge, Stephen King called it his "on switch" and can't remember writing two of his published novels, Eminem won't go on stage without "half an E", and you can't tell me Coleridge wasn't hepped up on goof balls when he wrote Kubla Khan. Salivdor Dali - well, need I say more? And don't get me started on Byron, shelly, picasso, charlie parker, billie holliday or keith
It's high time we established an internation arts anti doping agency - urine tests at book launches, blood tests at concerts and residue tests at galleries and get these drug cheats out of art once and for all!
I think I am speechless.......
What about reporters, Mr Kent?
now didn't he take proton pills?
Yes, why not treat those on Arts grants the same as the cyclists, come to think of it? And anyone else with $$$$ from the public purse, for that matter! But I'm trying really hard here to think of an example of asuper charged, artistic over-achiever ... Hmmmmm .... I can think of a few DEAD ones, but that wouldn't be good form. I'll keep thinking ....
There appear to be many drug enhanced politicians out there ... but this is not what this thread is about .... I'll keep thinking ...
what about ken done
tell me he's not on goof balls!
... and doing very nicely, thank you. Laughing all the way to the bank!
exactly!
