datura is really bad stuff, unless you're fond of bleeding from your eyes, ears and nose all at once while having a bad bad trip

thus it is like a major US car race.
"Did you see that Elmer, somebody passed someone"…

crazy stuff that datura

__"You're just a wuss Che, harden up and take it, what are ya? C'mon Che, it's really good, you'll f#ckin' love it, I'm telling ya! Don't be a f#ckin' f&ggot Che, what are ya? Are you a Narc man? Hey everyone I think Che is a f#ckin…

(Cancels lifelong dream of installing sensory deprivation tank, getting toasted on Datura & (d)evolving into another life form.)

crazy stuff that datura.

Yes. I've never been squeamish about these things, but PCP and datura never seemed like a good bet.

There was a teenager in the mid-80s who had (tea I think) datura and walked off the cliff at Murrays Bay, just a couple of blocks from my house.

Anything that removes…

anti-drug crusaders just need more viral marketing

my thought when i heard the story was, "stupid adults..."

a story one of my adults told me when i was young. it went, "they were at a party, smoked a joint, one was laced with pcp, guy who smoked that bad joint fellovercan'tgetup. therefore pcp=bad"

Ah yes. A common strategy: don't hit your kids with the blanket statement that…

Dad would ususally go down there and tell them to make sure they didn't bust up his pear tree. I think that shocked them…

I haven't seen a dog on P, but I've heard about it from drug squad police at conferences.

OK, hands up who was thinking of Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas at this point?

I've just been offerred some PCP – who thinks I should do it?

it's... it's... like you know me so well, you could be me!

it was exactly that, plus a story one of my adults told me when i was young. it went, "they were at a party, smoked…

i was offered pcp at a party many years ago.
a quick bit of research revealled the side effects; potential nerve damage, inability to reason, blah blah blah. the che wasn't touching the stuff, wasted as he already was.

heh. i was offered pcp at a party many years ago.

Yes. I've never been squeamish about these things, but PCP…

the normal long to be different

That'd acount for at least 95% of tattoos & piercings.

Isn't 'What a friend we have in Jesus' the song that's sung at the start of Heavenly Creatures?

Not quite.
It's 'Just a Closer Walk with Thee'. I think its originally a Negro Spiritual which got taken over. I remember my parents had a late 50s country version of it.…

mrs Hamner was born... Miss Gianinni. Not looking too flash for the Wallings so far.

Who knows, maybe it was Walling Mountain, but Earl Boy's novel was autobiographical, maybe his mum was a Walling?

the Hamners (or possibly the Hanmers).

Which blows his story – his surname was (and probably still is) Walling, and he alleged the mountain was Walling Mountain, but changed to Walton to be more TVmatic (the small screen version of cinematic).

who reckoned he was related to the family that the Waltons was based on

Arcane trivia time – the Hamners (or possibly the Hanmers).

Earl Hamner Jr, born on Hamner Mountain (Earl Boy). Became a novelist & screenwriter with only one story in him. Most famous film is Spencer's Mountain, with…

Can you hum a few bars for us?

Sure, no problem ....

... there, did that bring it back for you?

merely saying the words out loud will dredge the tune out of the deepest darkest depths of your memeory (presuming you're over 30 and ever went to church/watched The Waltons, as a child)

'Fraid not. Over 30, but managed a relatively a-religious upbringing, the closest I've been to the Waltons…

the first tune I thought of was "we don't need another hero".

which made me think of "holding out for a hero"

All together now to the tune of What a Friend We have in Jesus:
You're assuming we know the tune of "What a Friend We Have in Jesus"?!

Ah but does the arrow ever reach it's destination?

of course. it pierces and reveals the gods-head.

thus granting knowledge, but only if sought without selfishness.

better revelation, less stone-overs, no fancy outfits.

that same friend once recalled to me an incident he witnessed from his armoured flame thrower, when a junior officer's vehicle was getting close to being over-run by VC. the guy panicked and abandoned his crew,…

for those of you with time to indulge in recreational chemicals [glances at merc], here's something to really fuel paranoia.

One soldier told him later: "Sir, three years ago before I joined the army, I never thought I'd say 'That damn marijuana'."

So there you have it – the military are so desperate for recruits they'll sign up pot-heads to fill their ranks. I tried to…

We don't need no Marijuana,
We don't want no LSD,
Coke or Speed we have no need for,

One did – she was wired and up for it. The other one decided he couldn't deal with it and went to bed...

sergant: "AND WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO THE ENEMY SOLDIER!!!??"

grunt: "dude... i just wanna make a sandwich..."

although, apparently the terrorists are already onto the positive benefits.

I've heard about it from drug squad police at conferences.

I just finished Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. There's a great bit where Dr. Gonzo and his Samoan Lawyer are posing as vice squad and describing the drug scene in California to a Sheriff from Georgia.
"Satanists who drink…

Throw dangerous dogs and P together – voila, a new story.

Any takers for what the next dish/news will contain?

doesn't Holmsey look just like Gilligan grown up?

Gilligan shrunk, surely?

Is it that plentiful you'd give it to the pets?

Anyway, I think that any blogpost describing various drugs & their effects should come with a shopping cart.

And doesn't Holmsey look just like Gilligan grown up?

"I understand it commonly happens in Rotorua.
"I haven't seen a dog on P, but I've heard about it from drug squad police at conferences."

Come on. It's all a bit Brass Eye isn't it?

(Tho' I'm guessing you don't believe it either, David.)

Sorry, that's a bit of a downer. Funny post! I chortled.
