The LSD Hall of Fame my foundation has been trying to build for the past 30 years keeps falling down, so until then, can we get Dock into the Baseball Hall of Fame pronto? #drugs

"Because the no-hitter was the first game of a double header, Ellis was forced to keep track of the pitch count for the night game." [[en.wikipedia.org]]

Q: "Hey, how many pitches does Veale have, Dock?"

A: "Orange."

There were famous photos of spiders on various drugs---normal web, the pot web---VERY messy and barely a quarter done--and the acid web, which was perfect and incredibly complex, like triple the strands the web would normally have. A web's web.
Yeah, if you want to pitch a no hitter, try acid. Nothing like it for shake-free, complete concentration. #drugs

Barbara Manning/The SF Seals have a song about the game called "Dock Ellis" Went to look for it on youtube -- it wasn't there, but damn, Mr. Ellis inspired quite a bit of music. Anyhow, found it on Manning's blog with along with links to a couple nice Ellis remembrances.

@Moonshine Mike: Back when I was cool, sometime near the beginning of W's first term, a couple members of her band crashed on my living room floor when they were coming through the Twin Cities. Manning was incredibly sweet -- very California, all sunshine and hugs, which is not what I had been expecting from the woman who recorded Scissors, but there ya go. I got a little snide about the jam band that opened for her, and this one song they had about a band of vikings dropping acid, and she said she wished she had heard it -- and told me about "Dock Ellis." I then felt like a jackass. Which I was. #drugs

And suddenly the maxim that he who doesn't learn history's lessons is doomed to repeat them takes on new meaning.

May I have another, Doc? #drugs

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

@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.
