    Back in the day when tripping on hallucinogens was a weekly pass-time, one of my friends devised a list of rules to follow whenever tripping. Among rules such as "all cars are real" and "fire burns" there was "if you are enough of a smart-ass, you will get your ass kicked." Maybe there should have been a rule like, "if you live in Kentucky and accidentally wander into your McCracker neighbor's house while tripping, you will get shot." No?

    They make those holding cells down at the station with padded walls for just such an occasion. And I can't imagine a fungified felon would be very difficult to funnel into one of those type containers. Maybe I would be annoyed with the little wart. Perhaps I might even freak him out a little bit on purpose. But I wouldna KILL him.... sheesh...

    If someone breaks into my house in the middle of the night, makes my girlfriend scream in terror and doesn't stop when ordered, they're going to eat lead.

    Shrooms is acceptable, but Magic Mushrooms is still a widely used slang.

    Yeah, if I walked into my house and found some teen staring at my wallpaper, I would have to shoot them immediately...

    because you can never be too safe.

    that kind of episode would be one of those hilarious trip stories you would hear about, save for the gun part, of course.

    What Twitter didn't mention is tweading, er, "reading", but what some wags are now calling "screening", since we now read most of our news on screens. There's a website here explaining what "screening" is all about and people like Markoff and Fallows have heard about it. Hmmmmmmm. The urbandictionary.com editors have put it up too. Here: Screening has defined there as: "To read text on a computer screen,
    cellphonescreen, Kindle screen or PDA screen or BlackBerry screen;
    replaces the term "reading" which now only refers to reading print
    text on paper."Example: "I hate reading print newspapers now. I do all my screening online."
