And I didnt STOP doing mushrooms bc I got older. As I once posted, my friends got older, I jsut keep staying the same age. But now I have noone to dose with. Sadly, the last time I tripped was at the SHoreline shows in 1995. Perhpas we should meet?

Even as a nonshroomer, I can recognize this as a Very Special Moment for PP and SD. Can we all take a quick moment to enjoy the fact that these two lost souls have found each other?

Agreed that they are my favorite high, but not a good out in public drug.

Poppycock! Meet you at Union Square at 5:15. I'll be the one wearing a bow tie, a carnation, and a dreamy expression, telling Patch tourists that I'm "in the middle." They love me!

It's sad to see people for whom life is reduced to wistfully reviving memories. First sign of age.

This is why I dont like posting in front of the partners (the squares who went straight to law school. Leagl, shouldnt the squares be required to have a password since they rarely have anything to contrib, but like to live vicariously through those of us who have lived? Stop eavesdropping, and add something to the dialogue.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29 — Demi Moore is not alone. Close to a third of unmarried American woman in their 40s through 60s who date are going out with younger men, according to one of the most sweeping surveys ever conducted on the dating habits and sex lives of mid-life singles. (isn't this because older men are dead?)

SEX ON a first date? Only 2 percent of single women in the age group approved, (prudes) while 20 percent of the men were amenable. Frequency of sex? Sixty percent of the women and 45 percent of the men said they hadn’t had any in the past six months.
According to the survey, 60 percent of singles aged 40-69 are women, a majority of them divorced. Forty-two percent of the men and 24 percent of the women had never been married.
Among the hundreds of findings in the survey, Slon said he was most surprised by the large portion of women who reported dating younger men — a trend recently glamorized by 40-year-old Demi Moore’s romance with actor Ashton Kutcher, 15 years her junior.
“There seems to be no stigma now for dating men a few years younger,” Slon said. “Twenty years ago, women didn’t have the jobs. Today they have the jobs, they have the money, they can call the shots.” Among the men, 66 percent said they were dating younger women.

Wow, the number of women who have never been married over age 40 seems a bit high?!?

Yeah, some of you dorks probably graduated on time.


Suckers.

(Two summer schools - still barely made it. 16 hours each semester was just too much. The key was signing up for 16 hours and dropping the course you were doing the poorest in*)

*dropped International Trade (Econ 700000000) twice.

Summer school in college is effing great.

And YOU have obviously not been to the late Schaefer/Sullivan/Foxboro stadium, which has all of the worst parts of the former O-ACC, plus actual winter weather and thugier thugs than even the Black Hole.

Oh puhleeze.
The black hole. They call it that for a reason. White trash spend all night drinking tequila in the parking lot and then come to the game and throw bottles (albeit plastic now) at anyone wearing "colors" of the other team. I have seen more than one guy get the shit beat out of him for wearing the wrong jersey. If there aren't at least a couple of arrests (on and off the field) then it's not really a Raider game. We're talking about people who will pee anywhere (even inside the stadium). Oakland used to let you drink anywhere and everywhere, they just wouldn't let you bring an open container into the stadium. But they would let you finish your 6-pack in front of the entrance.

Dunno.

Hugh Delehanty, editor-in-chief of AARP Publications, talks with Al Roker on NBC's 'Today' show about a new survey profiling the search for love and relationships among singles over age 40.

here's your link. Apparently, AARP's membership are all amish.

I thought that the Vet was commonly known as the least safe place to be wearing a visiting team jersey. SD? Heck they had a judge and retaining cells in the basement, so no need for police to even leave the facility.

I think that I am no longer comfortable posting about sex, drugs and rock n roll in front of people I probably wouldnt look at twice on the street. From here on in, I am going to join the legions of those nothing to contribute, one liner types who live vicacriously through the likes of a gwinky type. this street is too one way for no pay.

That crispness reminds me of going to Rocktoberfest at Groovy You Vee, wearing my biggest alpaca sweater, drinking beer all day, hitting crafts fairs, watching the boys play ultimate or lacrosse, and then afternoon parties on people's patios, drinking hot apple cider and rum/ or beer, depending on what was on the menu, in Burlington, shrooming late in the day and going to more parties All the while surrounded by the most beautiful boys and girls. No bleach, no makeup, no fake tits, just people as they are. To this day, my ultimate man has the shaggy hair and tall lean body of a lacrosse player. And if i see him in the right pair of faded levis with one of those new englandy sweaters, I just swoon. Fall is just so melancholy, huh, SD? Clearly we would have roadtripped and dosed and hung together in college. I ran six miles to the Grateful Dead (DP 15- slow They Love Eachother, Minglewood, and Half Steo just leave me with a palpable feeling of poignancy bc of the memories ) on Sunday as I felt the beginnings of autumn come on, bc that is where the season takes me, Today it is DP 18. cant wait

And I didnt STOP doing mushrooms bc I got older. As I once posted, my friends got older, I jsut keep staying the same age. But now I have noone to dose with. Sadly, the last time I tripped was at the SHoreline shows in 1995. Perhpas we should meet?

Ahhhhhh, you know the vibe I'm feeling. I forgot about the mountain bike. There's nothing better than biking around campus on shrooms. You're dead right - its the crispness in the air that clicks that high, loose, wonderful feeling of irresponsible experimantation back in... and college football. For some bizarre reason, I can't watch Big 10 ball without thinking about tripping. Its real fucking wierd. And the funniest thing is it has to be Big 10 - doesn't work withthe other conferences.

Did Summer School. Didn't have to. Just felt like partying through the summer with the same idiot friends. Agreed - its the shit. Less crowds (not that my @3000 person school had any crowds anyway).

Raider Nation, the collective name given to the club's fan base, is an unofficial institution with one official rule: You're either a citizen of Raider Nation or you're a threat to it.

"Raider Nation is family," said Wayne Mabry, who goes by the name Violator in Oakland's Black Hole. "It's a lifestyle, a religion. When you get in, you're in for life."

Looking like he would scare anything that's not associated with the Raiders, Mabry has an intimidating presence. For him, a painted face, arm guards, leather pants and shoulder pads with spikes sticking out are the norm. There are others who dress like it's Halloween in the Black Hole. Spike, Terminator, Skull Man, Enforcer and Darth Raider are just a few other creatures roaming the abyss. (yes, these guys are there every home game.)
A few years ago in San Diego, a television station caught a glimpse of a Raider fan biting off the ear of a Chargers fan. He received a five-year prison sentence for that incident.

Security guards being tossed down steps, drunken brawls and the enemy being feasted on like a piece of raw meat are all things that Raider Nation have come to be known for. There also other methods of intimidation that are a dark secret.

"What goes on, you would have to come in the park with us to get a visual," Mabry said. "I could tell you for 10 years and you wouldn't have a clue until you come drink with us."

"I've seen some funny stuff and some stuff that's not so funny," Raiders tackle Barry Sims said. "I've seen people swarming and then you'll see an opposing jersey fly up out of the middle of it. Some people feel threatened by Raider Nation and you don't want to take it to that extent."

What's funny - or not so funny - is that these guys come dressed in spikes - actual spikes and swords and big ass flags, but they won't let you take an umbrella into the stadium.
