I remember when you could get a tab of acid for the price of ONE cup of coffee.

@Aatom: Acid doesn't go for 5 bucks a tab no more?

@bjonston: Don't judge. But last year it was $10 for sugar cube. Liquid LSD dropped on a sugar cube. But that is delivered and guaranteed quality. New York. New York. If you can make a call . . .

Anybody mind if I do a jay? I got a wicked headache from all that coffee and I just got laid off for puking on my boss's shoes today.

Gotta say, I'm very disappointed that nobody in this thread saw fit to make a 4:20 joke at 4:20. Jesus, people. We look like a bunch of amateurs. Amateurs.

I think I just puked on my boss's shoes. Or someone who looks a lot like my boss. And boy was he pissed. I think I'm getting fired.

Wait. Hold on a minute.

Yep. I just got fired for projectile vomiting eleven and a half cups of coffee all over my boss's penny loafers, in response to a question or series of questions having something to do with the reasons for (i) my elevated tone of voice, (ii) the suddenly red color of my face, and (iii) my notable absence from a 57.105 hearing in Circuit Court twenty minutes ago.

Ooopsie.

Call me old-fashioned, but I prefer to be a slut for drugs (sexually generous for the chemically endowed?). That way the only cost is the severe blow to your self esteem when you wake up that next morning.

I knew a guy in high school who did the ping-pong ball trick, but he wore ski goggles and wrapped towels around his head or something. he claimed to have seen all kinds of flourescent fish. of course, the problem is that it takes something like 7 hours for your brain to get bored enough to start making stuff up.

@Dr. Nick: Maybe I am. Maybe I aren't. I can't tell anymore, really. The room is kinda spinning and my head feels funny. I think I'm tripping but I'm not sure I can think anymore so I really can't tell for sure. But I can tell you it sure doesn't feel like Acid or shrooms. It feels more like I'm gonna barf.

Wait, is that my boss?

Oh, hi Brian. Yeah, I got your emails. Wait, what? Dude.

I just finished cup number nine and I can't seem to stop shaking or get the song Touch Me by the Doors to stop playing in my head.

Tan tan tan tadan-tan tadan-tan,

[higher octave]

Tan tan tan tadan-tan tadan-tan,

[higher octave]

Tan tan tan tadan-tan tadan-tan,

Tan tan tan tadan-tan tadan-tan, tan

Come on,

come on,

come on,

come on now,

Touch me babe,

Can't you see that I am not afraid?

What was that promise that you made?

Why the fuck can I never get laid?

If they fire me now will I still get paid?

Ok. I'm now on cup number eight and I'm feeling reeeeeealy jittery. My heart feels like it's about to explode but other than that.

Wait.

What the fuck was that?

Never mind. I just farted. I feel better now.

When I was a 12 year old Boy Scout, someone said you could get high from toothpaste. So three of us ate an entire tube of Crest. There was an effect but I'm not sure if it was a high or just flouride poisoning.

@Truculent: Did you know fluoride turns into hydrochloric acid in your stomach? It does. That's why the tubes of toothpaste all say not to eat it and to call a poison control center if you do. Now you know.

Ok. I've had six cups of coffee and working on number seven. Nothing yet. But man am I jumpy. Anybody else feel jumpy? I sure feel jumpy. Jittery too. Wonder what it could be. My friend Ned is jumpy. He sure likes coffee too. Drinks lots of coffee, Ned does. Maybe that's why he's so jumpy. Hey, maybe that's why I'm suddenly so jumpy. Jumpy, jumpy, jumpy. Ok. More later.

Weed is the one thing I buy with any regularity of which the price has not gone up in years. Hurray for the black market!

In school, I discovered a cheap alternative to tranquilizers. Cut an english muffin in half and warm in the toaster. Lie down with your eye's closed, and gently press the english muffins against your ears.
