Love the way he says "Get in the fucking sack."

@danpascooch the problem is that they are self regulated and some of them have been known to try to treat problems thats are far beyond their "expertise". If you have a problem with a muscle, joint, ligament, vertabrae just go to your doctor and he'll send you to a physio not for a glorified backrub

I rub a cat on my head every day :P all it does for me is get me fur on me and one very pissed off cat :P

@danpascooch haha "psychics and other bullshit"!!! since when did he, or anyone else say psychics is bullshit!? i was surprised he said chiropracty as well but lots of people are wary of it.

@danpascooch some chiropractors are basically physical therapists but many other chiropractors indulge in magical thinking. Some chiropractors think that adjusting the back can cure malaria or AIDS. So plenty of them belong in the sack.

Wait.....I was with this guy until he lumped in "Chiropracty " with psychics and other bullshit. Chiropractic care is just the act of putting your joints back into alignment and into their proper sockets, and if you use a chiropractor that actually knows what the fuck he's doing (as opposed to one that will break your fucking neck) it has completely noticeable and quantifiable positive results.

"The great the thing about homeopathy is you can't overdose on it." "Well you can ****** drown."

I had 'Get in the fucking sack' as my ringtone for ages :D

"we must now turn to barry, who believes the sky is carpet painted by god", there's something about the way he delivers that line that cracks me up :')

@fanglover879 Yep, I got that info from the wikipedia article, too. Still, previously to Dara mentioning it (and me googling it) I have never heard of it, ever. Not even seen it /somewhere/ /somehow/. Then again I'm not Irish, or English, or Scottish, or Welsh, so I guess it's not strictly my fault :)
