I will check that out. I recently got a book entitled What the Doormouse Said (ref. to the Jefferson Airplane song White Rabbit) about how the early movers and shakers in the computer industry and the technology were (ahem) highly influenced by their use of LSD and other psychedelics...

I chuckled at how this blurb only got mentioned in passing, wtf?!?!? :
The earliest descriptions of the drug come from William Burroughs, who tried it in the 1950s a short time after he accidentally killed his wife. He had placed a glass on her head in a lighthearted mood; "It's time for our William Tell act," he said, and shot a gun at her brain.

Yeah, I paused on that myself (I think they revisit it later in the article). I'm guessing there were mood altering agents involved in that little scenario, too...

I've only done it once. All the furniture in the living room became sentient in a cartoonish way, kinda like in Pee Wee Herman's playhouse. Fortunately, they were all very friendly. Short-lived, but profoundly affecting. Much more truly hallucinogenic than LSD or shrooms. In fact, I've only hallucinated (what I call hallucinating) on acid once, and the hallucinations on shrooms is mostly stuff like trees "breathing", but even when you're tripping you know it's just the breeze blowing thru the leaves that's making it look like that. Still a cool effect, though. But DMT was full on cartoon reality...

I've never had Warheads (never heard of them, either...but I guess it's like a massive sour candy), but this is kinda funny and it looks like only 2 kids could even keep it in their mouths...

well, except for the baby one. Someone should really call CPS on that parent...even if they kiss the baby afterwards

I just spent the afternoon in a car dealership. I was reminded why I don't like buying new cars. They still do the same bullshit they've done for years. It is a good thing I didn't have a concealed weapon.

I didn't get the vehicle. I would have probably paid their last offer if they would have given it to me up front, but I was so pissed at the two day five hour process that I stood firm on my first counter even though it was only a $1,500 difference from their final.

I am experiencing the joy of putting a rebuilt transmission into a car I bought last year.

I know better than to buy American but I keep doing it.

At least I've learned to stop buying German
