I've heard it said, in the event of a nuclear holocaust, two things would survive. Cockroaches and Keith Richards. Keep rockin', Keith.

:laugh: It eventually gets to a point where they need to stop. I saw one of their shows recently... They were awful. Plus they still thought they were in the twenties. They looked rather foolish to me. :whoknows:

Why in the hell was this nut in a tree?

[Grimm]

"Richards was apparently collecting coconuts with fellow band member Ronnie Wood. The guitarist, who has survived years of drug use, was said to be “a bit disorientated” after falling 15ft and banging his head."

He was "a bit disorientated", how could they really tell?

[dfitzo53]

According to the article, picking coconuts is a popular activity at that resort.

A 62 year old druggie should NOT be in a tree.

Wow, you could divide that statement by two and it would still be true.




A 62 year old should NOT be in a tree.



A druggie should NOT be in a tree.




Keith is a double whammy. :laugh:

And some want this stuff legalized............

Are you telling me drunkards don't fall and injure themselves all the time?

When was the last time you heard of a 62 year old drunk falling out a Palm tree?

[JMac]

This is the second tree he has fallin out of. The first one he fell out of is the "ugly" tree in which he hit every branch on the way down. :laugh:

Age is irrelevant. If your justification for banning drugs is that people might injure themselves, why aren't you just as vocal in calling for prohibition of alcohol? The name of the game in all cases is moderation and responsibility.

dfitzo - i think the correct argument would be: "Are you saying Keith Richards isn't a drunk?" :doh:

Age is definately NOT irrelevant. It takes some serious crack for a 62 year old to climb a tree with no limbs.

Alcohol impairs judgement, drugs make you stoopid. (See Keith Richards)

Ummmm.... you don't think Keith drank more than all of the other drugs he did? The guy bleeds whiskey.

He is still stoopid. :)

[rincewind]

He is still stoopid. :)



Agreed - but its not fair to use this as an example of how bad drug use is and pretend like alcohol didn't play a MAJOR role in Keith 'being' how he is now.

You haven't been to SW Florida. They fall out of trees, fall into canels, drive through store fronts all the time.

Oh ya, Keith has done a lot more then smokin grass throughout his entire adult life.

[rincewind]

How about honored to be insulted? :D



Works for me... i think. :moon:
