AS THE DEATH STAR TURNS

@GF

So you are depressed and will never be whole inside because of a movie you've never even seen before? I can't imagine how you'll react when they change the character on the box of your favorite breakfast cereal. Tucan Sam! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Everyone here bitches endlessly about the treatment SW and Indiana Jones gets on blu-ray, so why can't I talk about children of paradise. Go to criterionforum.org to get a more detailed explanation of the video quality.

you're right everyone does bitch about SW's treatment, but none with as much drama as you (sometimes).

So I've decided TV's Frink is a jerk!  He pokes fun at everyone, then ignores me for making fun of his age!  What a hypocritical dirtbag!

Now, now, if you want represent Christ, represent Christ...or come to the dark side, we get to say fuck and smoke weed without the shame afterwards. ;)

darth_ender said:

Actually, you'd be pleased to know that I recently unignored you, since you don't have Miss Erica's head and shoulders in your profile pic :) 

Wait what? Did you ignore him because of Erica Campbell's bare shoulder??

But since Frink is the topic of my whining, I will just say that a year and a half of looking at his idiotic one-liners and hotlinking has finally hit a nerve...the guy can sure dish it, but he can't take it! >:(

To be honest, I like Frink's one-liners. Without them (and funny comments from others) this forum would be too serious (especially the politics thread that gets way too tense). Maybe I haven't been around often enough or I'm not reading the right threads but I haven't seen him not be able to take it. I will say everyone should be able to take it whether they dish it or not...it's the internet, get over it or get off (not directed at anyone).

TV's Frink said:

Meh, it's not a big deal.  I just don't like giant walls of text, or people who can't deal with it.

I agree on the walls of text. If you can't make your point in a paragraph or two then I wonder if you 1) are bullshiting and think writing more will make people think you know what you are talking about or 2) like hearing yourself talk or think what you have to say is just so damn important (again, not directed at anyone).

EDIT: okay, it's directed at everyone in the politics thread (I'm sure I'm guilty as well)

Alright, I'm smiling as I say this, and after only a short time.  I can't keep up the joke any longer, partly because I worry about folks who already think I'm too snippy or sensitive, and also because I worry about making other folks feel bad.  Surprisingly, Frink really did ignore me when I teased him, so I wrote him to make sure he wasn't offended.  He told me, "Of course not!" but then suggested we start some drama.  I'm sorry ol' boy, but I just couldn't keep the drama going.  I'm too self conscious of my Christ-like image ;)  Thanks everyone for your concern.

BTW, I have a feeling that someone will continue to play, but I no longer can.

so....wanna smoke weed?

I haven't actually smoked for a few months now. I just had my second interview for an IT position in a hospital. They are definitely going to piss test me (they fuckin better!) so I had to take a break.

I've taken breaks in the past, it's just nice to clear your mind especially if you are smoking regularly like I tend to do in 1 month spurts. It definitely gets boring if it's all you do or if you are with people who insist on smoking before doing ANYTHING else.

I would like to try mushrooms once in my adult life since I haven't done it since high school and it's a interesting experience. Unfortunately I don't have the drug connections I had in high school so it's unlikely.

Shrooms just made me very bubbly and laughy and then they went downhill when I realized I actually had things to do in the morning. It's something I could probably describe in detail in person, but would end up tl;dr in text and/or might get lost in translation (actually I should get back into writing. Maybe that would be a good place to start.)

As for weed, I started fucking up my grades so I wanted to cut it out. But then I tried again recently, and all I said to myself was "well, this is nice, but I don't really need it." And I was very proud of myself for it.

I still drink, but pretty much on weekends only. The long-term effects seem less crippling than those of marijuana (unless I end up with a problem, which - trust me - isn't happening) so I mostly prefer that.

I remember someone getting me mushrooms in high school and I insisted that it was enough for 2-3 people. He told me to trust him and eat all of it. He was someone I trusted very much and he just got high so he could watch me and make sure I didn't do something stupid. It never left the chair.

It was like being in another dimension or another consciousness. I was completely unaware of my surroundings. So hard to explain but when I go into details about it some people say that it I should try DMT which is apparently out of this world.

After a while (not sure how long) I was tripping, but able to move around and interact in the normal fun way (crazy visuals, geeking out about anything, etc.).

As for weed, I started fucking up my grades so I wanted to cut it out. But then I tried again recently, and all I said to myself was "well, this is nice, but I don't really need it." And I was very proud of myself for it.

yeah, it's nice to be able to walk away from it on a whim. I was able to keep my grades up in college by being able to set it aside when I needed to for projects, exams, finals, etc.

I still drink, but pretty much on weekends only. The long-term effects seem less crippling than those of marijuana (unless I end up with a problem, which - trust me - isn't happening) so I mostly prefer that.

I drink as well and more so now that I have not been able to smoke. Probably get drunk once a week but I will say that hangovers are a huge reason I'd rather be high.

As for long term effects I think addiction and the risk of death make alcohol way more dangerous than weed could ever be. The only long term effects from weed you really have to worry about is lung cancer and that can be greatly reduced by using a vaporizer (or even a bong). Eating it of course eliminates that risk all together but who can afford to do that regularly?

I've never tried dope. Some friends have tried to talk me into trying it, but I'm not really interested. From what I understand it makes you laugh and it makes you hungry. I have no need for that, cause I'm already pretty goofy, and also overweight.

I don't care. I have suffered more than any other human being in history. Pathe international has personally attacked me by this transfer. This is the end all be all of everything.

Speaking of drinking I need to bitch about something.

In our town of 50,000 people we have one main street where most bars are located. This isn't NYC or anything so if you want a cab you need to call for one and wait for them to show up. Recently the police (not city council) have designated two spots on Main St where you can get a cab. Cabs are no longer allowed to pick you up in front of the bar you called from.

That is absolute bullshit. It's silly to make drunk people walk a few blocks to a designated spot to wait in line for a cab. As the winter comes it will be below freezing most of the time, people are not going to do this. People are already not doing this. Most people I've talked to in bars have said, "fuck that, I'll drive home."

It's already hard to convince some people they need a cab, I think this new rule just creates crimes that are completely unnecessary. There will surely be an increase of drunk driving and if people are walking down the street wasted I'm sure there will be an increase in public intoxication, fighting, and other crimes. We already live in a state that is known for drinking (more bars in the Milwaukee area than in all of Minnesota) and drunk driving isn't looked down on as much as I assume it is in most states, why create more incentive to drive drunk???

Bar owners hate this rule because they lose business if people leave early because they would rather drive sober than walk, wait in line, and pay to get home. Also since it used to take 20-minutes for a cab to show up that's one more drink they are going to serve. Cab drivers hate this because instead of picking people up as needed they are driving into these high traffic areas with impatient drunks who are arguing over who gets the next cab.

Dumb

I don't drink.  I've never smoked... anything.  I've never taken any mind-altering substances.  Well, except for when my wisdom teeth were taken out when I was 16.  That was fun!

Believe me, I have a family history. My mother's liver essentially does not function. I'm very aware of how it can go wrong, I've watched it happen, so I'll know if it does.

Agreed mildly on the "other world" comment regarding shrooms. Damn, now I DO want to write about my experience. I'll get back to you on that one, but I'll probably just link it to a post from my blog. Because it's definitely gonna be tl;dr for this thread.

edit: oh @Leo: YES. That's another part of why I quit, I put on 20 pounds last summer and I can attribute at least 15 of them to the munchies.

 

It was like 4 grams of shrooms. The friend I mentioned has done 10g several times a used to tell everyone it is a religious experience. Unlike weed where smoking more and more does not add to your high, tripping will get crazy weird the more you mushrooms you eat.

If you write it, I'll read it.

The trick to handling the munchies is drinking a lot of water and putting good food in front of you. Eating stuff like almonds will give you that chewing on food nonstop sensation, but yeah, thinking you are going to make a pizza and only eat part of it is a mistake. So is going to a grocery store high. Nothing says "I'm high" than checking out with chocolate milk, fruit candy, and a pumpkin pie.
