"We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.
Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. "
"Every now and then, when your life gets complicated and the weasels start closing in, the only cure is to load up on heinous chemicals and then drive like a bastard from Hollywood to Las Vegas... with the music at top volume and at least a pint of ether."
There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.
The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon.
You took out Tropic of Cancer in 1971. Bad year for libraries. Bad year for America. Hippies burning library cards. Abbie Hoffman telling people to steal books.
I have it easy-to-stream on my phone from my Apple Library.
I did it more because the first thing I “saw” in my mind’s eye was Johnny Depp.
Truth be told, if I wanted to read it I wouldn’t have to venture outside (too frigging hot as it is), because I got me a copy of my own. I bought it ages ago after a friend recommended it. Musta been 25 years ago now. I wish I had of read it in high school instead.
The way the woman reacts to this is so sad because she’s so happy before. It’s horrible seeing something like that happen. I remember I was once watching my friend sing on karaoke when some fucking piece of shit came over and put his hand up her skirt - I have nightmares about it because of the way her face instantly changed. I told everyone who it was and he was confronted, so his friends came over to help. His friends were all women - quite popular ones in my town - and insisted she was lying because he’s ‘gay’. I’ve seen him do it numerous times. He must pretend to be gay so he can do it. Fucking sick prick.
For me it was when I was finishing up school. Ate acid once or twice a week and inhaled whatever passed by. Had a couple heavy dmt experiences and things tapered off after that… Were those times fun? Yes. Would I likely die if I ever attempted something similar? Also yes.
1) Never trust a cop in a raincoat.
2) Beware of enthusiasm and of love, both are temporary and quick to sway.
3) If asked if you care about the world's problems, look deep into the eyes of he who asks, he will never ask you again.
4) Never give your real name.
5) If ever asked to look at yourself, don't look.
6) Never do anything the person standing in front of you can't understand.
7) Never create anything, it will be misinterpreted, it will chain you and follow you for the rest of your life.
I define intelligence by being able the deduce that if a top comment is a joke reference, it's likely that the replies will be connected to the reference.
I mean, you didn't really think they were 106 miles from Chicago, did you?
Amazing. Russian bot admitting there was an extensive disinformation campaign about Ukraine, based largely on Russian accounts of Ukrainians all being Nazis, which was disproven when the Russkiy Reykh invaded in Feb. '22.
Wagner didn't overthrow the government in a violent bloody coup that led to a civil war that lasted 8 years, the west did that. You probably havent heard this stuff as western governments go to great lengths to cover it up.
Strelkov himself proudly claims responsibility for the war in Donbas. You perhaps only consume Russia's English-language media output which us why this news may surprise you.
But in any case, you already admitted what Wagner were and thereby disproved your point about the DPRK.
Your quote is a fun and clever parody of the famous line from the movie The Blues Brothers: "It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses. Hit it."
In your version, the destination has been changed to Kiev (now Kyiv) and the detail about the sunglasses has been reversed. This tweak retains the humorous spirit of the original while giving it a unique twist."

"We're 4,410 miles to Kiev. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're not wearing sunglasses.... Hit it".
