    Why did the Bermuda triangle, quicksand, and maybe premature burial and stop drop & roll so capture our minds?

    Replace the quarter to call home with swallowing gum or something.

      To be fair stop drop and roll is still good advice. You just don’t find yourself on fire that often.

        Omg I was so disappointed later on life to find out there are no free drug people. Fucking lame, they said it would be like a costco market.

        Even when I got to university and literally all but one of my friends smoked weed, I still wasn’t offered any. I don’t think my ‘friends’ liked me that much…

          Oh man. This is embarrassing, but in college I didn’t want to be in any one in-group (I also have some flavor of commitment issue), so I used to push my way into groups and cliques where I wasn’t invited. I’d wallow in the palpable social discomfort of “Who the fuck is this?” for quite some time till I got used to it. This was my main way to score “recreational flora”. I’d later turn some of them into friends maybe a couple months down the road, but thinking back on this now, I cringe into a black hole.
