I wish I could puff-puff in real-time. But, the smoke wafting over the cubicle wall would give me away.


You wouldn't want that.

My roomy is going through hell right now because of the reefer madness.  Madness I tell you!  He slipped and fell at a client site, tried not to file a WC claim, but one thing led to another and he was tested.  Likely to lose his job still, though now he's going to Marijuana Anonamous meetings...

Madness!

BOS to "Careless Whisper," and points docked from Dave for suggesting that this might be a Hit From Hell (six-six-six-six-six).  This is a well-written song with a memorable refrain, a catchy sax riff, and one of the most powerful vocal performances of the decade (just wait til George hits his stride on the final verse).


Agreed. If only Debbie (oops, Deborah) Gibson hadn't re-written it as "Foolish Beat".

AAAHHHHHHH! Y'know, they're right: today's "super-weeds" are hella potent!

Speaking of drugs: I picked up a CD of the collected works of lost Chicago psychedelic band H.P. Lovecraft whis weekend. Those dudes were on some serious chemicals.

That is some scary shit, sir. I'm knocking on my woodene head for luck that they don't institute a drug-test policy here at my job.

Of course, when your job is as dead-end as this- I think they kinda hope you are on drugs- so's you won't notice.

That band's a staple on the Technicolor Web of Sound radio station I've been listening to in recent weeks.  I don't "get" them.

Speaking of "Reefer Madness"- did anyone catch the musical on Showtime this weekend? Pretty funny.

Schwab used to pointedly *not* test its employees, as they knew they'd lose at least 35% of their workforce in a boom time.

Yeah, as one friend said, "All this because you fell down?  Once?"

Don't have Showtime, only willing to pay for one premium channel, and barely that.  But "Deadwood" keeps me at HBO, for now.

I like a lot of their ongs & sound. But, yeah- at times it's almost like a parody of the genre...

You've lost all sense of touch
In the dark, without a crutch!
You've arrived (you've arrived)
At the Mountains of MAAADNEEESSSSS!

(which is the title of an HP Lovecraft novella, by the way)
