Flag Football Fun at Purdue

~ Pharmer

Purdue Intramural Sports League Video, @ The Blaze.

Brady Cronk, quarterback of the Sour Lemons threw a 30 yard  spinning back PASS, which was completed by teammate Drake Barrett for a touchdown.

This has brought ESPN  fame to Cronk,  a 3rd year student and former quarterback at Seeger High in West Lebanon, Indiana.   He says his coach would never let him throw that pass in H.S. games, though it appears from Twitter that he was recognized for this particular antic.

Flag Football is for this kind of fun. 

Your friendly Pharmer has to do spinning techniques in martial arts and due to age and vertigo, this is  NOT what she does best.   So it was beneficial to watch the skillful  Brady Cronk, frame by frame.  He’s obviously done it many times  before, and might have eyes in the back of his head.

Pharmer sez that if Mr. Cronk wants to become  an amazing  football-sniper,  he’ll be able to hit a small target with his spinning back pass if he brings his head around faster and leans a little less  during his spin.  A little “me ashi te” theory, there.  He might also consider working with various other projectiles.

ABC Demonstrates Cultural Rot at the TSA

~ Pharmer

Hundreds of TSA officers have been fired for stealing, despite the fact that most of their theft victims have almost zero  recourse once an item has been stolen.

Click below to see the rare ABC story worth viewing.  Staffers  tracked an iPad, using GPS and alarm features, from airport security in Orlando to the home of the TSA officer, Andy Ramirez.

Ramirez is of such low quality that he has been shown to have

1) transported an iPad which is not his from the airport to his home, apparently unaware that these devices are loaded or can be equipped  with tracking, file wiping, and various other anti-theft features.

2) denied having  it after ABC personnel announced that they had tracked it to his home via GPS

3) blamed the theft on his wife after the alarm was set off

Your Transportation Security Agency spends your tax dollars on such cowardly  idiots as Ramirez.

See for yourself.

Phi Kappa Alpha Fraternity Adds New Line to Eddie Murphy song

~ Pharmer

They’re REALLY bored at the University of Tennessee. Here’s the latest addition to the compendium of gross medical stories.

Police: Student Suffers Alcohol Poisoning After Frat Hands Out Alcoholic ENEMAS « CBS Atlanta.

That classic Eddie Murphy song has been inspiring trips to hospital emergency rooms since 1982.

Don’t put TeQUILA in the butt
That’s Southern DIS-Comfort in your butt

Phi Kappa Alpha is one sicko Boy’s Club, and it might be booted from University of Tennesee, Knoxville, for sending a student to the ER with alcohol poisoning via the rectal route.

Testosterone is a POISON?

~ Pharmer

Scientists in Korea claim to have data indicating that the lifespan of Eunuchs was significantly longer than un-altered males in times past. They found unusually numerous reports of centenarians existing among the castrated men centuries ago. They could not attribute the longevity to the rarified existence among the royals of Korea, since the kings and their family members did not share this benefit of long life.

The scientists suggested that testosterone might be the culprit that shortens men’s lives. It’s a POISON! 😉

The comments appended to this speculative article, at the Daily Mail are worth the click!

Bugs R Us: Birth Control Pills Associated with Increased Staph aureus Colonization

~ Pharmer

Hormonal contraceptive use and persistent Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage.

In the Journal of Clinical Infectious Diseases comes a study out of Germany, which finds higher incidence of Staph Aureus colonization in users of birth control pills.
Specifically, Gurls on the pill are 1.88 times more likely to have a positive nasal swab for Staph aureus, than females not taking the pill. The nose is where these bugz like to hide out. It’s warm and wet in there.
Those big sweaty guys are 1.57 times more likely then the demure and natural girls, not taking BC pills, to carry Staph in the nares.

The infectious disease docs think that this extra pool of staph carriers, associated with widespread use of the birth control pills, might significantly increase the reservoir of these bacteria in human populations, and the transmission of these pathogens to vulnerable individuals.

Our probes are pointing towards Sandra Fluke and the bulk users of BC pills at the steamy Georgetown University School of Law. Would they allow sampling from their nasal gardens of bacterial delights?

Birth Controlling the High School Herds in New York City

~ Pharmer

EXCLUSIVE: New York City high schools giving students morning-after pills and other birth control, without telling parents – NYPOST.com.

The Department of Education has expanded their “CATCH” Program (which involves giving birth control pills, Plan B and Depo-Provera to girls without parental consent) to 13 New York high schools. Parents can opt out of the program by FINDING a piece of paperwork allowing them to opt out, and signing it. The so-called information telling parents of this form has resulted in only a 1-2 percent response.

Prescriptions for the drugs are supplied by Health Department physicians. This can be obtained by seeing a school nurse, and taking a pregnancy test.
From the NY Post:
“We can’t give out a Tylenol without a doctor’ s order,” said a school staffer. “Why should we give out hormonal preparations with far more serious possible side effects, such as blood clots and hypertension?”

Last year, New York City boasted a 64% abortion rate among 7000 girls under 17 who got pregnant.
Watch and see if this program of giving out pills at high schools has any effect on the statistics.

Pharmer wonders who is the brainiac behind this new “CATCH-bugs” program, which is likely to boost the incidence of STDs in the area, now that girls will have less incentive to abstain or use barriers.

The following schools are listed by the NY Post as participating in the program to pass out birth control hormones to kids without parental consent. Adlai Stevenson and Grace Dodge in The Bronx; Boys and Girls, Clara Barton, W.H. Maxwell Career and Technical Education, Abraham Lincoln and Paul Robeson in Brooklyn; John Adams, Newcomers, Queens Vocational and Technical, and Voyagers in Queens; High School of Fasion Industries in Chelesa, and Port Richmond on Staten Island.
Seward Park Campus in lower Manhattan was dropped from the program because the school medical office couldn’t keep up with the business.

Bambi Hates Obama – destroys yard sign

~ Pharmer

A discerning deer has been on rampage against an Obama sign in the front yard of Tom and Beth Priem. He’s been caught in the act and photos are available on the Blaze, if you click below.

It appears that deer might, in general, understand that their suburban pickings will become scarcer if the Dems win again. The cattle Down on the Pharm seem to have analogous perceptions. Both species, which are plentiful here, have left the conservative signage untouched during the Indiana primaries, and during past November elections. The same can’t be said for the small trees and landscaping.
