a commercial came on today (while i was watching new iron chef symon miraculously win his battle) that got me to thinking: why hasn't pfizer or lilly or glaxo-smith-kline come up with something for lack-of gambling/sexual urges sooner? finally, a drug has arrived. and it's called mirapex. granted this rx is not explicitly FOR intensifying gambling urges, but it helps in that area. (the commercial also mentioned something about how it reduces the symptoms of some made-up illness known as "restless leg syndrome." rls is about as legitimate a diagnosable illness as odd or "oppositional defiance disorder" or what used to be known as "being a teenager.") i told mor it's a good thing we're so close to vegas for my newly-acquired gambling urges; he responded that i don't actually have rls and therefore no grounds to request mirapex. dang.
