"I’m pretty sure Little Green Footballs refers to Dexedrine (Dextroamphetamine), which were commonly called, you guessed it, little green footballs in the 60’s and 70’s."

"How is this website doing nurse? Really? That bad? Let's take a look at its chart."

"Thank you. Humm... looks serious. Time for an intervention? Just askin'...."

"As funny as that is, I’m pretty sure Little Green Footballs refers to Dexedrine (Dextroamphetamine), which were commonly called, you guessed it, little green footballs in the 60’s and 70’s. (extremely popular among musicians on the west coast) Yes, I would know from personal experience." -- Comment to Well, well, well…. › 2.0: theblogmocracy.com

Sound familiar? Psychological effects of dexedrine abuse:

Psychological effects can include euphoria, anxiety, increased libido, alertness, concentration, energy, self-esteem, self-confidence, sociability, irritability, aggression, psychosomatic disorders, psychomotor agitation, hubris, excessive feelings of power and superiority, repetitive and obsessive behaviors, paranoia, and with chronic and/or high doses, amphetamine psychosis can occur.[23]

Dextroamphetamine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Withdrawal effects: Withdrawal symptoms from dextroamphetamine primarily consist of mental fatigue, mental depression and an increased appetite. Symptoms may last for days with occasional use and weeks or months with chronic use, with severity dependent on the length of time and the amount of dextroamphetamine taken. Withdrawal symptoms may also include anxiety, agitation, excessive sleep, vivid or lucid dreams (deep REM sleep), suicidal thoughts and psychosis.

"Humm... let's keep this site under close observation, nurse. Let me know if there is any sign of erratic behavior beyond the ordinary churn of his Jacuzzi drool cup."

"You mean signs of paranoid schizophrenia or just bad batshit crazy crossed with poor hygiene?"

"Both."

Ah. This would explain how someone can stay awake for 72 hours frantically looking for the duplicate key to the icebox that Glenn Beck stole.

Little Green Crazy Pills?

There are some anti-psychotic medications that come in green pills, but this is the first little green pill that causes craziness.

"frantically looking for the duplicate key to the icebox that Glenn Beck stole"

Are you referring to the missing strawberries?

I wonder what caused that huge early-December spike on the QuantCast chart? It's very odd, since the rest of the chart is a classic "down-ratcheting" pattern, indicating a slow but steadily decline.

The spike is the drive-bys when the "I am no longer on the right" bullshit was slung. You'll notice that many came to look and nobody hung around for the banning.

Dilaudid, I believe, also comes in a green oblong pill, sometimes called 'dillies' or 'pickles'. Nonetheless, teh johnson does behave more like a tweaker than a junkie.

Didn't I make a comment about this a couple of weeks ago?

I caught another good ad-placement screenshot a little while ago.

This made me feel the need to take a different medication. [LINK]

Found it.

Didn't Little Green Footballs used to be some kind of drug?

My GAWD Webb .... you are prescient. Go to the head of the class. And when you do, take a drug test.

Thanks for finding my new sponsor, Webb.

Imagine my surprise to read this post and see you using my questions to Charlie as part of your analysis. Given that today is my birthday, it was almost like you wishing me Happy Birthday. LOL. Keep up the good work.

Posted by: horatiolust at January 10, 2010 6:31 AM

Happy Birthday to youse!

If I were prescient, I'd be making a fortune in the stock market.

I prefer to think that my recollection of this comes from having worked as an EMT around 35 years ago, when such a term might have been contemporaneous.

And I also think that you read this comment, and it planted the seed [or pill, as it were] of the idea in your mind.

And I'm glad you liked the Sarcasma™ ad-

Except for the fact that they spelled "Tourette's" wrong, it's perfect.

Little Green Footballs are boogers. No kidding. I figured it out one day in an fot of inspiration. Charles once wrote that he'd explain what he meant, except it was childish and very embarrassing. Boogers. He's right; it_is_embarrassing.

I don't remember "Daily Dish" being slang for any drug... What ARE you talking about?
