Let’s start before I was born, my Mom told me they used whites so much back then, I was conceived and born under the influence of speed, Tobacco and alcohol, maybe some ganja too, welcome to the World Bob. Back then, speed was legal, pot was a felony, but you know, they had it and smoked it, SoCal was pot heavy back then and the Police didn’t care too much about the White kids.
‘79 is when the fun began I believe, Jeff P. asked me to skate over to his brother Bob’s house, a 2 mile ride, and he was my Boss! What was I picking up? A quarter gram of crystal meth, the kind that screeches when you chop it, and corrodes your blades. I got there and Bob was not happy, but he didn’t want to fire me so I took off, the rest is…something.
I dabbled off and on for a few years then met an old friend, yep, dealer, so I was off to the races, and making money, by this time things were picking up, and we moved in on the Cocaine Market, at the time I played in a band, and that was easy, “hey Billy, try this, 3 cents worth” 12 hours later he was hooked, never did Coke again, but I have guilt for helping his demise…Then came Karen, my First wife, yes I had one, for about 5 years, Beautiful, fun, sweet and a speed freak, her Diabetes killed her, but Speed helped it along.
A few years later I got a real job as an apprentice HVAC guy, YAY! I finally have a future, yes I did, and it included a lot of Speed. By this time pure Meth was rare but Crank and Rocket fuel were both available, and we took what we could get. The trades are full of it, I understand why, America was built on Speed and Alcohol! But some people, sometimes, go off the deep end, and sometimes you can’t help them.
By ‘95 I had a good job, a Wife and 2 great kids, a working band, and a horrible habit. I got my speed for free, as much as I wanted, I ate normally and even slept a few hours a night. After a gig it occurred to me, this ain’t right, somethings going to happen. At this time the entire band was tweaking, my Wife was stressed for me, and I decided then I didn’t want to be the 4th guy in the Band, they had a bad outcome.
I called a friend in Colorado and he said get out here, so I did. I have been clean of it ever since, and there have been many opportunities, hell there still are. I can spot a tweaker from a mile away and despise them, most aren’t stupid, just addicted, but the mess they leave behind is terrible. Wasted families, CPS, courts, and it’s either quit or die, and I have seen a few close friends choose the latter. I still see it, but just look away, I can’t help anymore people that don’t want help.
Love the feature pic.
Amen to that.
What we need is Biden to make a hasty withdrawal from the War On Drugs.
If that were to happen, the Sinaloa Cartel would open storefronts in San Diego,
Only if properly licensed!
Preach it, brother.
If you insist.

How did I ever get into this mess?
Hey Yusef. I’m the exact opposite. I’m 50 years old and never smoked a cigarette in my life. I never touched a drop of alcohol before I turned 21. I didn’t even go out drinking on my 21st birthday. I’ve never been to a strip club. Basically, think of the squarest guy you’ve ever met and multiply by 2 and you got me. Glad you’re doing well now.
I drink Beer and smoke, but gave that shit up 25 years ago, it’s an ugly drug,
I’m more that way too. My parents both smoked cigarettes while I was growing up, and the smell was so disgusting to me that I never had any interest in smoking anything. Sticking needles in my arms for fun also held no appeal. I had a few sips of beer before I turned 21, but I didn’t get hammered for the first time until a few years after my 21st birthday. I’ve been to a fair number of strip clubs in various cities though; tits are awesome.
My dad smoked growing up and I had some high school friends that smoked and drank but it never appealed to me. I was at the gym working out by myself every day so I didn’t want that stuff in my body.
I was a skateboarding Bass playing miscreant, all bets off, I’m glad to have survived. I was smart enough to learn a trade, and marry a great Woman, both saved me, until now of course.
Both of my parents were heroin addicts and alcoholics. Even when I was into drugs, I always drew the line at needles. As a young kid, I had to help numerous people who had overdosed. Didn’t look like fun. And seeing people dopesick just sucked.
Funny story about that. I used to be fairly prolific and did a lot of speaking in AA and NA meetings. After some time, I was down in Santa Monica one time and this guy came up to me, whom I knew form meeting but hadn’t seen in a long while. He came up to me and told me how cool he thought I was. How much he looked up to me and listened to me speak ever chance he could. then, he said he even went back out and heroin, just so he could be more like me. I told, ” you do know that I never actually did heroin, right?” He was all dumbfounded. He musta just assumed. It was pretty funny.
later he joined an outlaw motorcycle club and got in a bunch of trouble, but that’s a different story.
#metoo. Yuck.
Holy fuck, blackjack.
You make me glad I’m goddamn boring.
That said, your kid is so amazingly lucky.
Boring? You drive an F-150!
I smoked a lot of cigarettes and drank a lot of cheap whiskey but not even that for over 40 years. I can remember the last 40.
“Both of my parents were heroin addicts and alcoholics”
That’s an odd combo. Most junkies don’t drink. Alcohol flushes the dope out.
They did whatever depressants they could get. Not sure if they often did both at the same time. I really can’t remember to that level of detail. I know they did a whole lot of both.
My mom used to have a scam with this stuff called citra forte syrup. It was some kind of opioid cough syrup. She would talk her way into a prescription for a bottle of it. Then when she left the pharmacy, she guzzle the whole bottle and only leave a small amount. She’s pour a little bit of VO into it to help it flow better, put it back into the white paper bag and throw it on the ground. Then, she’d go back into the drug store and tell them she just broke it, could they please give her another, her cough is really bad, etc. Then, she’d guzzle down the second one. Once she gave me an ounce of it and my head was rolling all the way home. She had just chugged about 20 ounces and she drove home. I drank one ounce and was nodding like crazy.
Yes, some people are really into downs. Anxiety, I guess.
I never touched a drop of alcohol before I turned 21. I didn’t even go out drinking on my 21st birthday.
A friend of mine from my undergrad years was like that. He decided he wasn’t going to drink alcohol until after he graduated. His first drink was after we graduated.
The problem was…. he decided his first drink would be a Long Island Iced Tea. We told him to take it slow, but when we looked away, he downed it like it was water.
Ugh.
I quit everything when I was 16 y/o. Literally everything. Was not intoxicated for the next thirty something years. Now, I drink some beer, but rarely more than three at a time. I’m glad I skipped the toll it takes for most of my life.
I was a square in HS but college turned me around.
I had a bit of a “coke problem” as recently as… 5? years ago but I beat it. Lost friends out of that – good riddance. One of them is dead now. Alcohol and vape-nic is good enough for me now.
This, once you start seeing your Friends drop dead you start to think, maybe…
I’m a square, too. Plenty of exposure to people who smoked pot and did shrooms and the like, but I didnt run in circles that did the hard stuff. There was that guy who had a connection in the vet school who was always offering some horse tranqs. He was in a one semester school, one semester rehab plan.
I’ve only smoked one cigarette in my life, and even though I was very drunk, I decided one was enough. I loved hookah though. I’ve also enjoyed cigars and pipes. Never smoked regularly… it was purely social.
Drinking has been my vice. Got busted by the RA in the dorms the first time I ever drank at 18, took a year off, and then did the typical college things. I was usually the DD for my friends because I only very rarely drank on weekdays, but the weekends were drinking marathons, often ending in prayers to the porcelain god. I’ve reduced the volume in adulthood, but I still enjoy the stuff.
Pretty much like Gunslinger. Got drunk once at a Y.A.F. conference in Binghampton, NY. They dragged me to the toilet so I could worship the porcelain god. Haven’t gotten that hammered since. Been to a few strip clubs but could never get into the scene; always seemed a little embarrassed for the girls. Though their was one lap dance in Odessa, TX……..
I’ve never really been into strip clubs. One year I traveled the country with a featured stripper and spent a large amount of time in the dressing rooms of high end strip clubs all across America. The big thing I learned was strippers have two kinds of men. the ones that give them money and the one’s that don’t. You do not want to be the former. Ever.
Hey, gunslinger! You just described me. Quite straight-laced.
Although when I reached 23 I was in college in Scandinavia and became quite a drinker,
I married a bass player 16 years my senior, and he had tried just about every drug since the late 70s into the early 90s. “I don’t know how I’m still alive” he tells me.
Takes all kinds, I guess.
I can’t help anymore people that don’t want help.
Yep.
I like that you cleaned up. I have no problem with folks using drugs, but it looks like you had a problem, and so you fixed it.
A cousin of mine had a heroin addiction. He kicked it. He decided to check in to rehab, but wanted one last fix. And that fix got him busted.
A guy I knew and hung out with in HS was an occasional heroin user. And when he had a bad breakup with a long-term girlfriend, he hooked up with a chick we all knew who was on a bad spell herself. They were shooting up one night, and she OD’d and died. The DA threw the book at Timmy, homicide in the commission of a crime (fucking nineties) and my friend pleaded no contest out of guilt. Ended up doing a nickel in Corcoran.
Yikes!
I know two people who did hard time for stupid bullshit. It doesn’t take a lot of bad decisions to end up with a prison sentence. I’m glad I got my act halfway together young enough to avoid all of that. It really sounds like a drag.
Btw, I know a bunch of people who did time, the rest of them just deserved it.
I still look like a tweaker cause I’m 125 lb. and I’m Psycho active as fuck, Whatevs!

Didn’t speed figure into QP film?
Bigly
Sorry, doofus does…
Not sure about QP, but I’ve heard Roger Daltrey talk about how the stuttering and such he does in My Generation was an “homage” of sorts to the speed freaks they new.
I never got that movie. Then again, I’m not a mod nor a rocker.
Also, never got techno with vocals. Seems to be missing the point.
“never got techno with vocals.”
Totally agree, Except Donna Summer
I wouldn’t call the Giorgio Moroder stuff “techno”. “I Feel Love” is a great track, but it was before an 808, never mind a 909 existed.
This is great though.

Although, the only thing that sounds sequenced, is the arpeggio, and even that could be a loop.
I like this version I feel love
Back in the ’80s, speed and coke were pretty common, even in the suburbs. I used to use white crosses for my long distance drives (work). Never really thought that much about it.
I think when it goes from a tool to a dependence is a weird line. I haven’t touched either in many years, but I’m pretty sure I’m done.
I also don’t have one of these, anymore.
Thanks, Yusef.
The post is based on a glib thread, i figured I had some insight, so there ya go,
Thanks T!
My best friend turned into a drug buddy and eventually a not-friend.
Exactly my experience, best friends lost, forever,
When I quit drinking my buddy said I wasn’t fun any more. He died a couple years later (brain aneurysm) as he was detoxing after he’d been hit by a car and had a broken leg, 38 years old.
That’s awful. Sorry.
Some of it was my fault. There was more than a little co-dependency thing going on there – you know, him being my drug buddy and all.
The thing about a drug buddy is that without one, I’m totally square. My drug buddy would sit in the car with our dealer. I wanted nothing to do with that. All of the drugs I’ve done were obtained via one drug buddy or another.
Probably better that way.
“…even in the suburbs…”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtGRBvM1LaM
I did plenty in my teens and twenties. I was very happy not to have to attempt to detail that for my clearance – it would’ve been a challenge. The bloody nose I woke up with around 25 convinced me I was done with coke. I quit pot because it made me paranoid. Never was even tempted to take a needle – I fucking hates them.
Needles Bad! I did pass many clearances, i guess they didn’t test for meth? But like JPL, Aerojet, General Dynamics, I got a clearance, still have one, to a point.
Sorry to keep taking comments from dead threads, but I wanted to follow up on Gustav Lytton’s observation:
I think Reason started to go off the rails around 2006-08 when they along with much of the libertarian establishment started embracing liberaltarianism as some sort of compassionate libertarianism rather that the same statist bullshit it always was.
I have to admit that I gave it some thought and I do have to backtrack from my earlier 1/20/17 theory. Thinking back, they did have the entire schtick of trying to pose Jared Polis of all people as some sort of libertarian Democrat because he liked to play video games. Or there’s the persistent pushing of liberaltarianism/bleeding heart libertarianism/thick libertarianism. In my defense, though, I do think it was mostly in check until Trump. They’d offer the claims and then back off, like trial balloons. And I still think Trump sort of changed that. I also wonder if Katherine Mangu-Ward becoming chief over there (January 2018) had some sort of effect on matters. If you listen to some of their podcasts, she does seem to be rooting for Team Blue, even more than the the other participants.
They were slipping pretty bad long before Trump. Trump was just the last straw. I remember a bunch of the staff gushing over Obama when he first got in. At least, for a long time after that there were decent articles. TDS ended that completely. I used to read the newsstand version all the way back to the early nineties. Cover to cover and then talk other people into reading them. the online version never came close to the real magazine, but there was something there, until ’16.
I also wonder if Katherine Mangu-Ward becoming chief over there (January 2018) had some sort of effect on matters.
Most of us were long gone by then.
Relevant to the conversation
It’s funny cuz it’s true!
And the correct answer to #5 is from: Julian Sanchez
Give that man a cigar and a bottle of booze.
LOL serious minds over there.
Holy hoppin’ hippos, talk about articles not aging well…
When did TOS drop Shel Richman? His articles were always pretty hard core (he was long affiliated with the “don’t give an inch” libertarianism of Bumper Hornberger’s outfit).
He never had any love for Zionism thought he was one of (((them))).
The liberaltarianism definitely took over at TOS, and more than a few “libertarians” like McArdle.
I was boring.
I am boring.
I most likely will be boring.
At least it’s a cheap lifestyle.
Dude, I have no choice, but God it’s better than being bugged all the time, and I’m popular around this little Burgh,

Half the problem with hard drugs is how fucking expensive they are. It makes you do really stupid, destructive shit.
No! Speed is cheap compared to Cocaine!

Ive shot heroin and coke and both at the same time when i was younger. Been clean for about 5 years now, last time i used my daughter found me all blue on the couch, called 911 and watched them bring me back to life with narcan. Fucked up my kidneys that time so bad i was hospitalized for over a week.
Dude, bad! I hope you are past that, the Child needs you sane,
Yes ive been clean for the better part of 17 years aside from a handful of relapses i had around 5-6 years ago.
Excellent, it’s always hard to walk away, glad you made it,
Yikes!
The most embarrassing thing that ever happened to me was a nosebleed in some stupid meeting room at work. “LOL, oopsie.”
I’d been snorting lines until like 4am the night before.
“rusty pipes”
As seen in Less Than Zero (or Bright Lights?).
Everyone in the meeting knew what you were up to the night before.
Heh. I don’t really speculate about those squares. Maybe? But I doubt it.
I basically didn’t drink until I was in my mid-20s, never smoked more than a half a pack of cigs (when I was 12 or 13), and never did any weed or the hard drugs popular back in the day.
I’m like Kinnath, only much more boring. The stuff takes a toll on some people — when I got married in my early 30s, people were walking up to my second-oldest brother (four years older than me) and asking him if he was the father of the groom. He and my eldest bro did a sh*tload of drugs when they were young, and it shows to this day.
when I got married in my early 30s, . . . .
I became boring when I got married at 19.
“Smoke Brisket, not Meth.”
Why?
Watching my wife’s flight. 36,000 ft. 590 MPH. Off north coast of NC.

And I still want my flying car, motherfuckers.

I tried Kodiak Wintergreen once and it knocked me on my ass. My little brother laughed his ass off.
I’ve tried weed once (before my little brother’s wedding). It did nothing for me. It certainly calmed him down though.
We used to drive to Canada with our academic advisor, Mohamed, because the drinking age in Canada was 18 and Mo didn’t drink.
A former coworker once did acid while a Barry Manilow album was playing. He had a bad trip. We used to tease him by sing “Copa Cabaña” at the top of our lungs.

C’mon man, Barry Manilow doesn’t fuck your head up all that bad.

You’re mixing songs.
Amanda? who came without giving? That one?
“Lola” by the Kinks, and “Cocacobana” by Barry Manilow.
I wrote a book around that song.

Ecstasy is a lot of fun. I’ve only done it 3 or 4 times but they were very memorable and with zero side effects the next day.
But yeah I’ve aged out of that sort of thing so ??♂️
“I’ve aged out of that sort of thing”
#metoo
That is a drug I’d like to try.
I’d like to try good MDMA on its own someday.
When I’ve taken it in the past, it’s either been when I was already drunk or on acid, or when it was on its own I was later informed that it was shitty MDMA* and not the real MDMA experience.
* although the night this happened, we went to a club and I hooked up with a girl with giant boobs who I dated for the next few months, so the substandard MDMA didn’t bother me too much.
This guy at work tried to corner me into some conspiracy theory bullshit about my not getting vaxxed. He asked me to explain why I was against it. I told him about the consent form and how it says the vax might not even work, might cause any of a number of unnamed negative side effects and may even kill you. Then it says, nobody will be liable for any of these things happening and for it not working. Then I explained how I’m almost certain the covid won’t kill me. The number is .18 for everyone, assuming the numbers are true. For my age and health, it’s probably a third of that. .06% chance the vid gets me. This stuff says right in the instructions it might kill me. Is it a greater than .06% chance? I dunno know. But I’ll take my chances, thanks. Then, he told me his family is against it because they think it contains mind control devices. OK, then.
It’s the Mark of the Beast, I don’t care what anyone thinks,
Some people think there is something in the vax that makes people more compliant.
Maybe there is, why do they want ALL of us shot up?
Take allies where you can get ’em. And really, how is it any (functionally) different from saying, “I have a religious belief that prohibits me from being vaccinated.”
Both are correct answers as far as I’m concerned. If it isn’t your meatsack to control, you’re property.
Ozy, I’m taking a big risk with my stand, I lost my good job, and its getting wierd trying to find work, I’ll survive, but this shit is real,
It’s weird everywhere, Bro.
Strange times we are living in.
There are people who have more than you, but also feel trapped by their attachment to those things, and so they’re going to fold.
You didn’t.
^^^ this. Obviously, from a practical point of view, you don’t want the “mind control” types getting the publicity, but fellow travelers are fellow travelers.
Yup. I am ethically opposed to someone who has power over me making my medical decisions for me.
How have we lost sight of this?!
Thanks guys for not letting me think I was the bad man,
Don’t get me wrong, there actually is a mind control element to this, it just has nothing to do with the vax. They are using every trick in the book to scam people into taking it. Propaganda, religious iconography, you name it. It’s a serious form of mind control. It works on most people, too. I can’t tell you how many people have told me it’s “safe and effective.” They get mad when I tell them that instructions specifically say that they might very well be neither. They have been mind controlled by Fauci and the media and the left. So in that respect, it’s mind control.
I read a good article today about how it really boils down to tribalism. If you are in the tribe that gets vaxed, then everyone who doesn’t is a bad guy who has cooties, just like in grade school.
https://leightonwoodhouse.substack.com/p/the-cooties?token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjo0NDMyNTYyLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0MDAzMDI0OCwiXyI6ImhIK1oxIiwiaWF0IjoxNjI5MTYxNzU5LCJleHAiOjE2MjkxNjUzNTksImlzcyI6InB1Yi0zNjM2ODciLCJzdWIiOiJwb3N0LXJlYWN0aW9uIn0.WDq4-j205pqUPb4KbwiicoxS83T2NYTHJ4joqtOWw8k

My daughter’s boyfriend OD’ed on edibles mac ‘n’ cheese.

I have always been a boozer and not a head. Can not stand the smell of pot, hallucinogens take away control in a way I dislike, and the hard drugs I have tried are kinda boring. Mostly what I like is to go down to a bar and drink all night, play pool or dice, talk to pretty girls, and whatnot. Drugs other than alcohol don’t lend themselves to that. But, the issue I have is I find food fairly uninteresting, so I often forget to eat. Which means I get plastered. Well, used to. Now if I have more than three beers I find myself in the can half the night.
I was building up a pretty serious booze problem at one point, but fortunately, I like being married more than I like being drunk, so it was pretty easy to cut back. Now, cigarettes, I would go back to those in a heartbeat if I wasn’t married.
I quit drinking for health reasons. My wife said she’d kill me if I didn’t.
My Wendy died before she could kill me
Yep, I heard that too.
When I went to drunk driving school, there were about 25 “students” in the class. The first day the instructor asked how many people ate dinner / had a real meal in the 5 hours previous to getting busted. Only two people in the class raised their hand.
Good on you, man.
For me its a life long cycle. Did everything as a young man. Sober for about 20 years, aside from the occasional beer and cigar.
Around 40 I started drinking again. By 45 it was drugs and ragers every night. Now I’m about two months in to only having one drink a night, and the only drug is weed for my back.
Now if I can just quit the nicotine. Next month, if I can.
Good luck to you! My wife quit for a year or two several back, then quit again about 6 or 7 years ago now.
My back is destroyed, and my money is gone, I’m lookinfg for work I can do, and seeing about going on the Dole. My fear is if I stop, i will wast away like so many of my friends,
I don’t want to die this way,
I Will Not Stop
Good. Keep trying and it’ll happen in it’s own time. Everything always works out, if you keep trying.
To try is to Fail, do or don’t
/My Dad, not Yoda
Nothing gets done without a whole lot of failure. The point is to keep trying.
Failure is my life, sad but true, but I Will Not Stop,
Thanks Black!
If you’re not failing, you’re not learning anything.
Have you ever thought about doing estimates for an AC company? Should be easy on your back.
of course, but it’s a small market here, OTOH I have a half dozen interviews that fit my skillset, and I am hard to find up here,
OTOH, if things go tits up here, I’m going back West, then it’s Game on!
All this time I was finding myself,
and didn’t know I was lost
To love and Lost,
I didn’t really start drinking until my 20’s, but I still have a couple of cocktails most evenings, and I don’t plan on stopping. I quit smoking about fifteen years ago, and I do still miss it a little. Probably won’t start again though. I’ve smoked weed a few times, but I don’t really find it worth the hassle. No experience with heavier stuff.
I’m pretty square.
Square is cool, bad habits are Bad, it’s my own fault, but I’m a Glib,

/Mini me, my own Fault,
At the end of this month it will be two years that my youngest brother overdosed and died on fentanyl at 31. He got started taking Oxys in college and by the time he dropped out he was an addict that could never quite break the habit. My young kids got a front row lesson in not doing that shit, I hope they take it to heart when inevitably exposed to hard drugs. I’ve taken most types of recreational drugs at one point or another aside from crack and injecting anything, always been able to just do a little and leave it alone, except for alcohol and weed which I also manage to manage pretty well most of the time. MDMA is the only drug that Ive done aside from the two standbys that I have desire to do again, that stuff is amazing if used sparingly.
Man, that’s fucked up. I can’t even imagine. Sorry that you went through that.
Shit. Sorry, man.
A kid I coached in hockey years ago OD’d on fentanyl a few months back. 19 years old.
End the war on drugs now
I’m so sorry, Wendy was headed that way, still died, but Opiods are Evil, i need that relief, but wont’t take it,
Sorry 🙁
Damn. I’d be tempted to kidnap my brother and lock him up for as long as it took. But, an addict will prolly just go back once given the choice. That sucks, K.
Thanks guys, we all tried what we could do and it was a slow motion train wreck that couldn’t be stopped. My last conversation with him nine months before his death was an ultimatum to get clean or stay away from me and my family. As Yu said above, you can’t help people that don’t want help.
Get ready for your third JAB. If you want to stay “fully vaccinated.”
I’ll take the Star, Fuck You,
Me too. It’ll be a badge of honor.
sneeches?
Because why not.
One does get the sense they’re just making shit up.
I got the fucking thing and am now faced with a city that just mandated showing your papers before being allowed in restaurants and bars. Fuck that noise, I ain’t playing along. Any place that wants me to show that will not get my business. Where is the damn pendulum swing that I’ve been waiting for? I can’t believe people have bought so hard into this hysteria. And I know, that a lot of it is a function of where I live, but damn, this is happening in far too much of the world. It’s making me want to buy some land and homestead it.

Back in the day, Taster’s Choice ‘round these parts came in “Continental Blend,” which actually didn’t taste like dishwater, unlike most other instant coffees. Naturally, it was discontinued. :-/

Apropos
Very well put, they are Home, i hope our GOV notices that when TSHTF,
Hmmm….what haven’t I done? Thank God I have a phobia of hyperdermic needles.
I had a fairly serious meth problem in my late teens to early twenties. At one point I usually had meth, coke, weed, opium, xanax, klonopin, ecstacy and acid either on or around on person. Saw a few friends burn out, a few others die, and a couple of friends got so twacked out that they freaking murdered three people in a failed home invasion of their dealer. Killed him, his girlfriend and their ten year old daughter. Insanity.
Myself, I got so bad that I spent most of the age of 21 homeless and half starved. It was only after I jumped at the chance to move from KC to Boston that I finally got my shit halfway together. Nowadays I drink my beer, smoke my weed and cigs and stay the hell away from anybody that reminds me of myself as a kid.
Fun Fact: My own father encouraged my meth and coke addiction as a teenager because I was selling the shit for him.
Wha?? Dood! Explains a lot of your dysthymia!

That’s good stuff, Straff.
Thx. Trying to find my next project which I’ll spend real time on. If I do that one properly, it’ll take about 5~7 hours.
Damn, that is nice work. Even more for the rush job.
I like booze and hallucinogens, but never really liked the harder stuff.
I was hanging out with my cousins (who are a couple years older) when I was 13 and drank a 40 of Mickey’s. That was the first time I puked from drinking. Got stoned with them maybe a year later, smoked pot for a few years then quit when I was about 18. Tried coke and meth once or twice as a teenager, but neither of them were my thing. I have a fear of needles so heroin is a non-starter.
When I was about 22 and living with some roommates I started smoking pot again, then discovered acid, shrooms, and x. There was a period of about a year and a half when I was dropping several hits of acid every weekend. Then the acid supply dried up due to some arrests, and I burned out on smoking pot. I think I’ve taken acid, x, or shrooms maybe 2-3 times each in the past 25 years.
I knew a lot of people who were into speed, but off the top of my head, I can’t think of anyone who OD’d – but then again, I lost touch with most of those people a long time ago, so maybe they’re all dead now. I do remember being concerned about 15 years ago when a bunch of my dumbass friends got into coke, but they all managed to survive.
Ever get the feeling you’re the schizophrenic sideshow?

My main drug was always alcohol I smoked weed probably a dozen or so times, did cocaine twice and MDMA twice. That was all 10 years ago, never since. I just prefer the booze. Was always curious for a more psychedelic thing like schrooms or acid but never tried.

When I was about 16, I skipped school one day and told my brother I felt like getting high (he had been a stoner for a few years by then and had been offering to let me try it). We shared a blunt, and I proceeded to act like a complete moron for the next few hours. I constantly remarked how heavy my hands were, ate some fruit that tasted absolutely amazing, and cracked the fuck up at a Wilford Brimley “diabeetus” commercial. I somehow sobered up by the time my Dad got home and chewed me out about skipping.
For the next year or so, I was a weekend smoker. We’d stick a window fan in backwards and lean right up next to it so the smoke went out the window. My friends and I never left the house, so we’d just watch Simpsons DVDs and gorge on junk food and soda from the supermarket. After a while, it just so all we’d do is eat a shitload of food and fall asleep, so we quit.
Alcohol became our new thing at this point. We had a couple people who would buy for us, but our main source was a creepy older dude (in his 30s) who mainly did it because we would occasionally show up with girls to party at his apartment. We literally named him OCB for “old creepy bastard”. It was worth putting up with his creepiness in exchange for a residence where we could do whatever we wanted to at age 17. The fun all stopped after he lost his damn job as a manager of a fast food place. We asked him if he wanted to party one Saturday night, but he said he had to work. After a few rounds of “come aaaahn” he said he could probably get off early. We didn’t know he meant he was going to close the restaurant at 9PM on Saturday night. He got fired and had to move back in with his parents.
When I moved out into my own place, I had largely lost contact with my alcohol-buying buddies, so I resorted to making my own wine. I started off fermenting Welsh’s grape juice in the bottle, and when that was successful, I expanded the operation by buying a 5-gallon water cooler jug and fermenting in that. I would ferment it to a higher proof than most commercial wine, so it would get you really drunk really fast, but it gave you the most wicked hangovers ever. My friends referred to it as “devil juice”.
My 21st birthday is when my boozing really got to a dangerous level. I was making more money than a single man needs to live, and I could now buy it whenever I wanted. It had previously been a weekend habit due to the difficulty of procuring or making it, but now there was no limit. I quickly fell into drinking (a lot) every single night. I acted like a damn fool and always started the day hung over. My bank account felt the hit too. This went on for about five months. And it will sound silly, but the thing that prompted me to stop was when I was driving one day and realized that my man-boob had gotten so big and flabby that it flopped down over the seatbelt.
I relegated alcohol to (mostly) weekend duty. I still drank more than a person should, but over the next few years I calmed down a lot. Nowadays I rarely finish a whole six pack on Saturday night and sometimes have none at all. It sucks that I had to learn some lessons about moderation the hard way, but I’m glad the thrill of extreme drunkenness wore off.

Never dipped, but I love the smell of a freshly opened can of Copenhagen. I’m sometimes tempted to buy one just for the aroma.
Ive been chewing too long, but I stick with wintergreen. To me, copenhagen smells like a combination of cat piss and coffee grounds.
I’ve done only legal drugs: alcohol, amphetamines for “weight loss” (worked great and I reupholstered all the dining chairs in one night, then painted the kitchen another night, etc…), and opioids for pain.
The opioids I can’t understand getting addicted to. They are a God send when I’m in severe pain, but who’d want to be that chilled all the time?? Plus I believe the tolerance builds up quickly.
No thanks.
Oxycodone plugs me up. Once when I was on it (prescribed for pain, legit) I went 4 days without a shit. 3 solid meals/day over 4 days. When the time finally arrived…
I’m not going to say I know what women endure during childbirth, but I have an idea.
Also, prior to the ‘opioid epidemic’, my VA would mail me 120 vicodin and 30 percocet monthly. Although they didnt get me fucked-up (unless I added a LOT of alcohol) I took them as prescribed. I was too stupid to realize how much they were worth.

Poor Afghanis being “brought” down under. Leaving one shithole for another.
Off topic.
We have all read dystopian novels and short stories, or seen movies in that vein.
More rare are songs about a dystopian future.
“Silent Running” by Mike and the Mechanics insisted itself on my memory tonight.
It was the line about the sons and daughters having to fight because we stood still that shamed me.
A great song, forgot that one, the Movie? unforgettable,
As someone that grew up in the 80s, that stupid song was in heavy rotation on the radio. That song and “Living Years”.
Also, Rutherford’s d-bag pal Phil Collins should be publicly impaled on the organ of a large equine just for creating “Sussudio”.
Furthermore, Genesis really started sucking after Peter Gabriel’s departure. Yeah, I said it.
Stu Stu Stupidoooh!
Yep
You are correct, sir!
Haven’t thought about Sussudio in years. I hated that fucking song and thanks for the shitty earworm you bastard. I’m going to be hearing that in my mind all day.
I like “Wind and the Wuthering”.

In #TooLocal news, I kinda figgered some of the area resources might get pressed into service. We’ll be on the lookout for air traffic off in that direction while we’re in our upper deck seats at the ballpark tomorrow night.
Meh. WHIO just needs something to talk about other than the humidity.
suh’ princess ?
Yesterday at work started off as if it were “Bother GT” day – peppered from every direction with questions on every subject when I was trying to process payroll AND cover for Reliable Co-worker, who’s taking a few well-deserved days off. Managed to power through and get payroll submitted by about mid-afternoon, and I got the notification that it was ready for final review & approval right before the end of the day – MUCH earlier than usual. Today should be much easier. ::knocks wood::
Want to talkto Oracle about WebLogic? I mean, it’s probably the only thing I can pawn off.
Would I have to do any more than say “Uh huh” at appropriate intervals?
I get the impression it’s a sales meeting with “Look at all the new fancy features you’re not likely to use” baked in.
Sat through an Oracle Apps presentation once. The Oracle guys were up front giving the sales pitch, complete with the useless features. We were in the middle, and behind us were representatives of 5 consulting groups who were ready, willing, and able to help us with the implementation. It felt like we were the main course at a cannibal dinner-dance.
I have one advantage – the state is notoriously slow to procure and I have no authority to sign off on it either.
I am not looking forward to today.
We have a meeting with Ze German Wenders over an access dispute. Then we’re formally evaluating one of the RFP responses. Oh, and somewhere in between, Oracle wants to talk about WebLogic again.
Ugh! Meetings! And with Germans, too. Do they take as long to say things in English as they do in their native language?
I don’t think so.
But you did remind me of a documentary where they ended up interviewing a German Archeologist about something. He stuck to his native language, and the English subtitles were very… concise compared to the time he spent talking.
I’m convinced that’s the main reason Wagner’s operas are so long. In English, they’d probably come in short enough to get airplay on a Top 40 radio station…if they weren’t opera.
A translated version of an old post.
Thanks, I couldn’t find that one. The German language in a nutshell.
Weclome. This is amusing too. Beware of the Stinktier and Stachelschwein.
Yesterday, had carpet ripped out because Saturday storms resulted in water coming in the house through internal stairs. Last night’s storm, more water and it’s supposed to keep storming this week.
Ugh. Any way to stop the leak before worse problems develop?
Yikes! We get puddles in our basement – fortunately, not at the end where there’s a rug down – when it rains torrentially, especially in early spring before the ground thaws completely. A (French?/trench?) drain along the uphill side of our lot helped, but we still get some water down there once or twice a year.
Hope you can suss out the source of the leak and get it fixed ASAP!
Yikes. Five years ago the small creek that runs about 100 feet behind my house became a raging torrent after a t-storm dropped 5″ of rain in about 2 hours. Flooded my basement, wound up replacing carpet and assorted items unfortunate enough to have been on the floor at the time. Hope you get this straightened out soon.

I’m seeing a definite lack of customer masking even though this county is a CDC designated plague zone.
Also, while my workplace has gone back to mandatory masks, they have NOT brought back the temperature screening stations and assorted theater. Though it looks like the cafeteria brought back the plexi dividers on the tables. However, they are allowing self-serve coffee (which was verboten during hte initial panic.
Great. Those “outdoor dining setups” will be a permanent fixture. They do lend a third world ambience appropriate for a dying city.
My story was similar to Bob’s. When I was a kid I would do everything. Lots and lots of mushrooms, LSD and pot. Speed never hooked me but after my first marriage broke down I started hanging out with old friends that just lurved them some free-basing. Cleaned up for about 4 years and one night went on a bender. That was the second time that an 8-ball nearly killed me. I was so ill that I was left with a foot-drag that didn’t go away for weeks. Lost all of my teeth but not sure if it was the drinking and drugging or just plain genetics. My Dad and his parents were toothless wonders by 50. Anyways, haven’t touched the stuff for twenty years. Brother is a mainliner.
