"Worried pimp" called off rabbi's three-day cocaine and hookers orgy

This is, in all seriousness, the best news story ever

I was kinda ;_; after the 'his wife died' part, but i mean hard to keep sympathies all the way through that.

hope he doesn't turn out to be a major shareholder at THFC, mind.

Wow.

I'm not sure that's an actual rabbi, as opposed to just Bob Hoskins in a big hat.

tbh that's all i look for in a rabbi.

At some point it stops being grief and becomes a useful excuse for being an enormous cockfarmer.

Like that episode of Curb Yr Enthusiasm when Larry uses "my mom died" as an excuse for wriggling out of everything?

My favorite part is how he says he kept large quantities of pure cocaine on hand not to deal, but because he didn't trust the quality of the stuff on the street, which TBF is exactly the kind of thing you'd expect an old rabbi to say.

I'd agree if I'd seen it.

"And the meth you get from Mortie? Please! Don't make me laugh!"

chutzpah ftw

Officers found an equal amount of the drug at Chalomish's home in Prestwich, in the heart of Manchester's Orthodox Jewish community

OK this may get like 6000 "so what"s from Mancunian ILXors but since I am from far away it jumped out at me: a good but long-lost pal of mine was from a Jewish family in Prestwich, wondering if this guy was his rabbi at any point now

(prob not as I don't believe his family was Orthodox, but still, dude is surely enjoying this news story)

Ah, this guy.

temple is just not going to be the same w/o rabbi chalomish, he had zeal. shalom

as in ze illeagal drugs

I can't help but be impressed with this guy's stamina

nabisco OTM

being a drug addict and hiring prostitutes doesn't make you a cockfarmer

worried pimp having muslim-sounding name is a nice detail

honestly someone needs to write this short story or novel and I will read it

or make this film, seriously

well see on the grief/cockfarmer thing, I'd submit that like one or maybe two days of coke-binging and prostitutes might be getting your kicks, but a week straight, to the point where you haven't slept in days and even the people profiting from you realize you're killing yourself, is going to be a nightmarish addictive/compulsive pit of pain and nihilistic despair and self-loathing and psychic desperation

not saying I necessarily feel incredibly bad for the guy but it's not as if he was blithely having fun

rather aggressively having fun, I'd say

jus a lil fun

I seriously want to know what the soundtrack to this binge was. Motley Crue or something I hope.

I guarantee you, nobody binging like this is having "fun" after very long

i like the pimp looking out for his client there. that's the kind of thing that sets your classy pimps apart.

maybe he needed the comfort of another lonely jewish cokehead and listened to winehouse

i am willing to bet that the winehouse cd was up in that b, in fact

haha nabisco do u have something youd like to share

I guarantee you, nobody binging like this is having "fun" after very long

I don't know, I think this is the definition of "fun" (as opposed to fun, meaning yes OF COURSE there are a million things incredibly, horribly wrong going on here and absolutely dude is using baldly destructive behavior which, when done in moderation, is looked upon as decadent self-indulgence but in this case is clearly an attempt at prolonged suicide).

yeah i agree. i mean, the participants are having fun. . . otherwise they would stop

I get Dan, but Que is joking, right?

i think that's how it usually goes

i'm not joking

I imagine the pimp behaving a bit like the Samoan attorney in Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas.

Re fun (and with due credit to Bierce):

In his pursuit thereof, he appears to overtaken it.

"baldly destructive behavior"
lolz

I guess all I'm saying is that any kind of destructive binging will cease to be actually enjoyable pretty quickly. Like binging on and throwing up huge amounts of food surely isn't super fun or delicious, it's a compulsion built on psychic pain. Being a porn addict who masturbates for hours to the point of wounding yourself surely doesn't feel conventionally "good" after a while, except insofar as it's satisfying some deeper compulsion. A drunk three days into a bender isn't like "yay, this bender is fun." Being on coke without sleeping for three days straight surely isn't going to feel very good either -- your body and mind will be a painful wreck, and you'll be continuing it mostly out of addiction, compulsion, fear, the inability to think of short-term alternatives, and probably a good amount of the shame and self-loathing and desperation most end-stage drug addicts are full of. It's a pretty craven state, isn't it? Same with the sexual part, really. People in these situations tend not to feel incredibly good about themselves, and the compulsive satisfying of base nihilistic impulses (more drugs, more hookers) doesn't just not provide happiness, it stops providing even temporary satisfaction.

Anyway I am mostly just impressed with this guy's general cardiovascular health. You'd think a week-long sleep-deprived pure-cocaine-and-parade-of-hookers binge would put most men his age in a really bad cardiac situation.

i don't really think it's fair to compare compulsive masturbators and bulimics to people on coke binges or drinkie-poo benders. yes they are all addicitve behaviors, but don't they all work in different ways?

the coke and alcohol (at least this is my understanding of this) are directly pleasuring their brains in ways that sticking your finger down your throat or choking your chicken aren't.

and directly pleasuring the brain like that=tricking the brain to think it's having "fun" when really it's a total trainwreck situation

Actually, the most fascinating thing about "Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew" is watching these people go through sex withdrawal and how they exhibit a lot of the same physical and emotional symptoms of people going through substance withdrawal.

So I don't think they're as different as you would assume.

well yeah the sex freaks and coke addicts are a lot closer in terms of their perspectives, probably, than say the bulimics, i agree with that

xpost - yeah, that's definitely true! but lighting up those pleasure centers isn't the same as experiencing pleasure, especially when everything else in your body is falling to bits. you'll just turn into a lab rat, continually pushing the button to keep the pleasure centers lit up, and after a while lighting them up won't even be pleasurable; it'll just feel like a necessity / addiction / compulsion. (I mean, nicotine gives you a dopamine rush, too, but soon enough lots of people don't experience smoking as a lovely treat; they experience it as something they have to keep doing, even if they're disgusted with themselves over it.)

bulimia's definitely different -- just an example of how a compulsive behavior isn't necessarily making you feel good in a "fun" sense.

what is life without religion

apparently it is full of hookers and blow and concerned pimps

sometimes it just takes three days straight of cocaine and hookers to know that you've got a friend out there

what, no fuckin comments??

>:-[

you'll just turn into a lab rat, continually pushing the button to keep the pleasure centers lit up and after a while lighting them up won't even be pleasurable; it'll just feel like a necessity / addiction / compulsion.

Alls I'm saying: from the information we have here, this rabbi probably had a really good time fucking hookers and snorting coke. Nothing in the news article suggests that he's been addicted to hookers and blow for years, which is, I imagine, how long you'd have to be addicted to something (and obviously it differs for different substances and situations) before the pleasure stuff wears off and you feel like a lab rat.

Nabisco's assertion, I think, is that excessive binging like this will burn you out on ANYTHING, regardless of how long you've been doing it.

well yeah! but i think it takes longer than we would think for the pleasure stuff to fall off. i was strictly talking about these participants (esp. the rabbi) and what we know of them.

I once saw a pimp in a silk goku shirt dancing to a phil collins song, I think it was in the air tonight, it is one of my favorite memories but I don't remember it that well

thread needs to get back to making joeks

didn't basically everyone with money and and bad sunglasses do this for like five years straight in the 70s?

I'm hoping this guy moves to a country where they let him have his opulent coke orgies in peace.

not everybody had access to bad sunglasses

First GIS for +70s and +"bad sunglasses"

"so then there's a debate about whose chest is the best to do a bump off"

it's performance-enhancing ffs

"An airline must immediately inform us if a UK pilot has misused drink or drugs boarding, or being on board, an aircraft," a CAA spokesperson told Sky News.

I don't know, does this really count as misuse?
