Even super-naive little Girl Scout me knew X was around in HS, so I'd assume it was pretty big down here.

I did go shroom-picking in college once with someone who is now in professional sales and distribution of mind-altering substances*, but was too chicken to try the stuff.

X and other assorted drugs (illegal, prescription, shrooms) were very, very big in Florida in the mid-80s.

Easy access to the supply chain, I would assume, along with completely absentee parents and no interest in nannies for kids over the age of 14.

Many classmates were in residential rehab at one point or another while we were in high school.

One kid I grew up with is now in prison for dealing heroin while we were in high school -- the rest are doctors, lawyers, blah, blah, blah.

This should surprise no one:

Your score is 20.

You are going straight to Hell! You appear to have the courage and conviction to live as an individual in a world that pressures you to become a conformist. You are a seeker of knowledge and an artist of life. Your future will never be peaceful, but you will be alive.

I've got some stuff to teach all of you once we're all down there. In the mean time, go take those pharmaceuticals you've been talking about and come back tomorrow with some amusement.

Edited to add: should have hit edit, not reply.

Yes. In college, on shrooms, several friends decided we needed to go to "the middle". Much discussion ensued as to where exactly "the middle" was. We finally decided to go up to the quad, stand around the edges, and walk until we bumped into each other. Once there, we sat in a circle and informed anyone who walked by us, "Dude, we're in the middle."

Also remember X with great fondness. I remember going to the ATM machine, withdrawing a $20, and walking up to the local panhandler (who always said "Nickles, dimes, quarters. Any spare change?"...if you recognize this, you now know where I went to college), giving him said $20 and telling him I loved him. I think this left me with like $4.17 in my bank account at the time.

Also, as I recall, sex was pretty awesome on X...

[edited to add: See, TM, I was telling random people I loved them long before the FB]

Beg to differ. But I believe this conversation has been done already. Typically leads to multiple anonymous fashionistas...

You have the greatest avatar. Ever. But that rank is just not holding up its end of the bargain.

A couple possibilities:

"Go ahead, make my pussy's day"

or, a la Mister Ruysbroek,

"Don't Fuck With My Pussy"

Hust my opinion. That is all.

Edited to add:

"Happiness is a Warm Gun"

and

(for Ahnuld): "Go Ahead, Make My Day".

I know, I know, too obvious.

Those are too obvious. But if someone comes up with a good creative one, I'll be happy to use it.

Thank you for the compliment on the avatar however.

As a side note, I have had a couple nibbles about advertising on our site. I am going to have a conversation with a headhunter tomorrow about it.

While I was preparing for our call I pulled some statistics out. They were pretty neat so I thought I'd share them.

We've been open now for 7 months. In that time we have had 2088079 page views and 815,394 forum views. That's about 300k page views/month and 115k forum views/month.

We still have 25-35 members signing up every week. Even discounting Penske's socks (I know you don't sock any more) that is still 20 or so.

Last week we had 1800 posts which is the most we have ever had in one week. Including our opening week.

Pretty damn cool.

Less wants you to know he used that $20 to pay the last of his student loans.

He loves you too.

I am outraged that there was no acknowledgement in this space of Robust Puppy's personal K today.

Will the same silence great me when I achieve this milestone?

Thanks for quoting this, since I missed it the first time.

How could you hate a movie that's basically just a live action cartoon?

Tell you what Thurgreed . . . how about we send you a copy of Titanic or the English Patient to make up for it, since that must be a little more your speed.

E/O

Since it appears there are at least a few card players around here, would anyone have a recommendation for a good computer Hold' Em program? Not looking for a website, since my preference is to play a few hundred thousand hands to get some insight into odds before playing for money. (And not playing for money is meaningless).

Your ideas appreciated.

Not the great you, I'm sure. Indeed.

Hey, RP, way to sneak through below the radar!
