Yay Prescription Drugs!

[ghettodub]

Comedian Greg Giraldo died today at the age of 44 -- five days after he was hospitalized for an overdose.

Greg had been hospitalized in New Brunswick, NJ after he overdosed on prescription pills last weekend. A source said the overdose was not a suicide attempt.

Giraldo was best known for his celebrity roast appearances. He had also been a judge on "Last Comic Standing."

A source close to Greg tells us, "Greg passed away today at the hospital in New Brunswick as a result of an accidental overdose. His family was by his side."

We're told plans are being made for a public memorial service

Prescription drugs are gnarly. Part of the reason I almost never take them. Being that I used to drink my ass off, I know I have an addictive personality, so I steer clear of those things...

Seems to have been a pretty funny guy.

I had a guy that I knew (worked at the Blockbuster next door to me) over dose on some prescription drug and alcohol once. It was pretty tragic at the time.

I remember that thread Stuart. Many here are on scripts and are invaluable to many. Abuse is always a factor.

Very easy to be that way. Some grow out of it and some do not. I will give my take on his death.

He took a couple and wanted more. Then took more and still did not have the effect. Took more and wound up dead.

The old Dirty Harry quote comes to mind. A man has got to know his limits.

guy OD's on pills. we should ban pills.

guy gets shot and killed. we should ban guns.

guy gets hit by a car and dies. we should ban cars.

guy drowns. we should ban water.

we should be free to intoxicate and abrogate ourselves in any manner we see fit.

about time, that water is an asshole...

There is a whole website about banning water. It is hilarious, but I forget what it is called. They basically express H2O in a different (but still legitimate way) like HHO or something. They have this huge list of all these dangerous things that "HHO" is in like poisons, bombs, acids, etc, then the list goes on about how it is also found in many food and drink sources. It is great.

It's called dihydrogen monoxide FYI and it's very dangerous...
