Not to threadjack, but when I first moved out, I picked up a fresh out of high school roommate who did just about everything. Huffed whatever he could get his hands on, ingested all kinds of things--including dangerous amounts of alcohol and had unsafe sex with just about any girl who would bat her eyes at him. Not to mention all the physically unsafe stuff he did emulating the guys on 'Jackass.'

We were working together one afternoon, when one of the older guys offered us some pot in the parking lot. My roommate turned him down with a "no thanks, that shit'll kill you."


I think kids are going to be kids. There's always new avenues of stupidity to be explored and I rest uneasy in the knowledge that my kids will be no exception. One day I'll be old and sitting around the retirement home watching the news remembering fondly the good ol' days when kids used to just 'tighten belts around their own neck until....'
