It's a tough call. Don't do the mushies. They're freaky. Try smoking banana skins first with your Veteran pills in the middle. If that doesn't work try drilling a hole in your head. It worked for the Romans! Is it a sense of humour or just eerie wierdness? It’s a tough call.

I think I'll try some Mushies instead of those damn medications the Veterans Administration keeps giving me. Maybe it won't cure what ails me but there's a hell of a better chance that I'll feel better about it. I see that a certain sense of humor runs in your family K8.

Must try that. Give it the once over with my Ladyshave first of course... So can you eat any old cactus? Must try that. Give it the once over with my Ladyshave first of course…

Thrifcriminal; Good old Vikings! I'm proud to be of their descent. What is Peyote? I've always wanted to know. Is it a cactus of some sort? Jenny; It would've been ok I think if I could have giggled my way through the trip, but there must have been some pretty serious sheep fertilizing those mushrooms... Deborah; Your advice is gratefully taken! I remember my primary school nurse giving me a sugar cube after my vaccinations when I was 5 years old... no wonder I was no good in school ;) Very very glad I didn't come across a Van Gogh print during the buzz. Newgrange would be good craic though... Jefferson; That reminds me of a poster I saw in a doctor's surgery once: It said, "Do you suffer from a sexually transmitted disease?" Someone scribbled "Yep! Children!" underneath. Classic! I think I'm done with the mind-altering stuff. Reality is tough enough. Natalie; You DO have funny things to write about!!! This post isn't so funny as it is sad and worrying really - I'm fretting over the loss of my poor braincells! Baino; You're not missing out on much, not that I've tried everything there is to try or really intend to... I totally agree with you in that there's comfort in the buzz you know! Conor; They are the pillar of Irish history, aren't they? I loved Archaeology lecturers trying to decipher graffiti from the Celtic era, when we all know what they were really on!

I used to pick my brother up off the road after sliding his motorbike into corners after a mescalin attack so that my mother wouldn't know. She thought he was concussed but he was twittering on about triffids and going fishing with John Steinbeck. Only dropped speed when I was 35 just to see what it was like. Very disappointing but I did my housework really fast. I prefer my drugs to taste nice and not cause my food to have a conversation so Chardonnay does the trick!

I ordered escargot at a local restaurant, started jabbing at it, and I'll be damned if it didn't start squirming away from the plate, cursing me with a trail of slime. The question is whether it was the bad escargot or the margarita's. :) The jury is still out on that one. We don't have inquisitive pamphlets like that o'er here. Most of ours consist of telling how dugs and sex cause children. Wonder where they hatched such an idea? :) I'm glad the daffodils didn't take offense to your barfing. :) Stay away from the mushie soup! :) Hmm..This reminds me of a conversation I had with a snail once.

Mental note do not go for Indian food just as your drop. Not good. Hubby looks at me and says "the food is talking to me." Right so, let's go. Vincent Van Gogh's Sunflower print later turned into a black family from the slave era (think Uncle Tom's cabin) and tried to get me to save them. Tried to connect all of himself's freckles with a permanent marker. Just bad. Previous episodes were always at Phish concerts, so atmospherically it was right. Great HSE flyer though. Glad they are spending their money on such useful enterprises instead of oh I don't know... giving people the treatment they need!!!! GRRR! P.S. I think there's some weird precedent in the states that if you have used hallucinogenics more than seven times you can be declared certifiably insane. Could be useful given a criminal trial! ;-) *SHUDDER* Similar memories involving a certain spiked Sugarcube. Mental note do not go for Indian food just as your drop. Not good.
