Poison ivy has always been my kryptonite, although luckily I haven't had an episode in years. The worst ever was when I ran a weed whacker while wearing shorts, didn't realize I was hitting poison ivy. Both legs were a crusty, oozing mess for 2 weeks. My coworkers took pity and went out and got my lunch for me every day, knowing that walking was an ordeal. Good times.

Good video.

So, does that mean that Lex Luthor is Poison Ivy and Doomsday is Bane? Batman & Supes, ice to see you.

We love you Christy (Poison Ivy) Wallace!!

I saw those 'Poison Ivy' movies where's she's all naked and stuff. Unfortunately, all I could think about the whole time was Tony Danza shouting "Samantha!" and it ruined the effect.

I know my momma loves me
I know my poppa loves me
I know the camera loves me
I can tell my brother loves me
I know that Boston loves
And San Francisco loves me
I love the city back,
I just can't help it, it's so lovely

I'm in my lucky underwear, i'm feeling debonair
If it's a lonely trip to heaven, I'm already there
I'm in the bedroom i'm like stepping like I'm Fred Astaire
I make it happen, battlerapping at my Teddy Bear
When I was twelve I'd leave my door open a crack
afraid if getting busted sneaking porno on my mac
I guess I was a freak
Until I got caught last week
(who's been loving you?)
I was reading Booker T, I threw the book at me
I go for the lookers but they never look at me
I would get a hooker if I could unhook her bra
I'd be looking soft as soon as she took her top. off
let's go rolling in a broken winnebago
stop and smoke a bowl out of a hollowed out potato
It's hash now, but it's hash browns soon
(who's been loving you?)

I know that Jesus loves me
I know that buddha loves
The fucking easter Bunny
and the ghost of gandhi love me
I know that santa loves me
I think my Aunties love me
I know my Grandma loved me
she thought I was handsome trust me

this insanity, that's heredity
it's my family, we can let it be
wish I pretended that mom and dad are dead to me
But i love my dad, that motherfucker read to me
my first words were "where's the love?"
mad smug, assed up on a bearskin rug
fashodo, mom'll show you the photo
(who's been loving you?)
I do embarassing better
I could wear a pink sweater
with a pair of slick pleather pants
derelicte e-va-ry day and it's well known
that I hop off stage with my cell phone
fake a dropped call when everybody's near me
and shout "I love you mom!" so everybody hears me
I need to and true nothing new but
(who's been loving you?)

Even though I owe them money
I think it's pretty likely
that my whole family loves me
My lovers tend to like me
I know my homies love me
My teachers loved to hate me
The haters love to fuck with me
the fickle love me lately

I'm a percussionist. I never knew guitar
it's cheesy, but I'm stunting like a superstar
it's easy man I'm hopping out a moving car
call me weezy cause I'm coughing at the hookah bar
I don't do cigars, but I got hella game
I can make a lady out of styling gel and cellophane
so you can yell my name, I make the bed frame move
(who's been loving you?)
me and my better friends are heading to the town strip
if they don't let us in we'll never take roundtrip
because I took an hour picking out my outfit
and then I took another slicking down a cowlick
and I like house sitting, but fuck it now's different
I'm going out and there ain't a bouncer for cowtipping
So I'ma tear this joint up
And i'ma party till the hoofs point up
(who's been loving you?)

this is for Charles Barkley
This is for Poison Ivy
This it's for Draco Malfoy
And it's for Bill O'Reilly
This is for Ned Mencia
It's for the corporate lawyers
it's for the backseat drivers
And for my friend Ann Coulter

oooph... thats pretty bad. Reminds me of a large poison ivy blister I had on my shin as a kid.

That is gonna be a lot of nerve damage, but at least its not titled 'removal of necrotic fingers after frostbite'.

The point about global warming is that all the available evidence shows that:
1. It is happening
2. It is man-made.

Why is that a problem? well, because we dont know what the consequences could be, we dont know how to stop the rising temperature or if theres a limit or if or when we can reverse the trend.

All of the above could happen, or it might not, some of it may not be due to GW and some of it may be. The fact is that we are messing with earths ecosystem, which is the very reason we are here in the first place. We grew up and evolved as a species on this planet, under these conditions, how will a rapid(geologically rapid 100-200 years) change in climate affect us as a species? how will it affect millions of other species? How will it affect weather? viruses? diseases? deserts? forests?

We don't know

Thats the point. some of the above are possible consequences of global warming*.

*or some denialist pulled it out of their ass and put it on the web so that other denialists could impress us all with their extensive lists.

Your whole belabored explanation is basically saying she is acting..you can go on kidding yourself if you like, but that isn't acting. I know for a fact that this does happen, and is actually very common; I've witnessed it personally. You *have* to believe it isn't real, because if it was it would mean that everything you know is wrong. It's impossible for your ego to accept that, even when the evidence is right in front of you.

Lies? Does that girl seem like she's acting to you? Why would someone start screaming bloody murder when they are doused with Holy water, or start shouting about the antichrist? Give me a break..this is real.

Geez, where to start? There are so many reasons why someone doused with holy water would scream bloody murder. The first and foremost to my mind being that they want to convince someone that they've been possessed by the devil. But this reason is a little misleading, because there are so many reasons why someone would want to convince other people that they are possessed. Could it be that this girl is from a controlling family? Perhaps she's not doing that well at something in life (which could include thousands of reasons), and wants to convince people that she's not living up to their expectations because of a reason that is completely beyond her control?
Or maybe she did something bad and can't reconcile or forgive herself (there's another few thousand possibilities right there at least). Maybe she needs a reason to convince herself that she didn't actually do anything wrong so she's trying to blame it on a demon.
Perhaps it could be that people don't like it when other people tie them down and do things to them against their will. Even if it's something that's not usually a "big deal".
Could it be that all this is brought on because she actually believes that she's possessed by the devil? Well, I guess that could be one possibility out of millions. But if you look at the history of mental health treatment, you'll find that people convince themselves that all sorts of things are real. Some people even break out in rashes when they are told that they've been exposed to poison ivy. But just because they have a rash, doesn't mean that it's not entirely in their own mind.

There was a club in Hamilton Ontario called "New York New York". On there opening night they booked the Cramps. They had no idea what type of band they were. Things started to get a little rowdy into the second or third song. A patron jumped on stage and was punched in the face by the bouncer.
Poison Ivy cracked him (the bouncer) in the back of the head with her base. The blow split his head open. The place went wild. The place was torn to shit and the show was stopped.
I loved the Cramps and they were great live. R.I.P. Lux.

Yay for magic... who needs evidence anyway?

And everyone knows that herbal medicines aren't chemicals, and aren't dangerous. May I suggest hemlock, amanita muscaria, and poison ivy as fine examples of the safety of herbal medicines?

I'm definitely not a fan of the pharma companies, but come on...this shit's just claiming that herbs = good, and that just ain't being honest.
