Who cares, although I am sure more than a few of the most dedicated Mefites posters (more likely commenters) have been indulging of the devils weed or PCP before spouting their self serving righteous brand of rhetoric....

Meatbomb, I think you're pretty cool and all, but asking this is painting you in my mind as the guy who says, "Have you ever seen The Wizard of Oz? Have you ever seen The Wizard of Oz on WEED?" You gotta be cool, man. Matt won't notice that you're smoking a joint unless you act paranoid about it.

posted by Brandon Blatcher at 11:11 AM on December 16, 2006

quonsar, thank you for the self-effacing link, I'd forgotten there were so many ways to entertainingly misspell "contacts". Do you keep that as a bookmark to go to any time you're afraid you'll fall off the wagon? I have a TMI comment about my ex-wife that I check every time I consider contacting her.

One thing I noticed at the other thread... somebody forgot to renew the FreeQuonsar.com domain! Have you seen what is there now? Coupons?!?

I, for one, have not even gotten a mild 'contact high' in over 20 years, after I learned that the substances that are supposed to 'loosen one up' actually made me turn totally humorless and boring. Good thing I have the Web to indulge my addictive personality.

Although I still know some people who like to get 'toasted' then go to Quizno's, just for the pun value.

And for the record, this was written before I took my morning prescribed medication - but I'm sure I'll regret it anyway.

I typically post while at about 4700' above sea level, which is pretty high.

Either way, no. I don't drink much and no no no no I don't smoke it no more, not that I ever did with any sort of regularity.

Commenting while angry, though, that's another thing entirely...

You're a fucking idiot if you're still in Korea and drugging. I've got nothing against Teh Drugs, but I've personally known foreigners who've done a nice long stretch of jail time (and Korean jails are not pleasant) followed by deportation just for knowing someone caught holding.

Dear stavros:

I have been absolutely drug-free since arriving in South Korea. I've also heard all the horror stories. One guy was busted after a piss test, because a friend of a friend got busted, and the police tested everyone two links away. So just having the phone number of someone who has a phone number of someone who uses can get you investigated. What a country.

But thanks for your concern.

Alcohol is very different from precription drugs. Prescription drugs aren't crisp and refreshing, they don't come with buffalo wings and their ads don't feature hot chicks in bikinis (merely hot chicks with herpes kickboxing and rockclimbing, which I admit, is a start).
