Bar Fighting Round Iv
<div class="IPBDescription">The Curse of Ash.</div> There is no fancy story this time. I am simply here to place a curse upon you entitled The Curse of Ash.
LIST FORMAT!!!!111!11!1`1`1`\
My main job at the bar is to clean glasses and whatnot.
We have several formats of glasses. Schooners, Midis, 7's, Softdrink and your various wine glasses. For sake of this curse we shall focus on the schooners (475mL)
Each tray of schooners holds 24 schooners.
Every 24th schooner comes with a cigarette sitting in the glass and the ash has gone everywhere. TRUST me on this.
Even though we clean every glass with the utmost of care you are still drinking someones ash (Residue)
So do you want to take your chances? 1 in every 24 schooner contains someone elses VILE DISGUSTING ASH.
Now consider that this happens with all the other glass formats.
Drinking at a bar's not looking to crash hot, now is it?
You have now been cursed with The Curse of Ash.
Enjoy your drinks.

Or better yet, don't go in to bar and get drunk home.
Then whats the point in going to the bar if your not gonna drink? You might aswell hang out at a late night cafe or something.

Yup, they have all the fun.
I want to be in their gang.
Oh...wait....
Repression isn't any more healthy than excess.

But excess is a helluva lot more fun, done correctly.
It's time we start teaching kids how to be safe about what they do, not tell them "NO" cause it doesn't work.
And yes there is a safe way to experminent with drugs and alcohol despite what you have heard.
Me, I'm a fairly straight edge sort of chap myself, but then I'm old.
Been there, done that, no desire to do it again, but at least I won't wake up on my 50th birthday thinking "Damn, I wish I'd done that...*".
(most)Kids need to get things "out of their system", perfectly natural.
* should read.."wish I'd done that while I was young with no real responsibilities of any kind, although my trivial **** seems important to me right now.."
In fact the straight edgers I know seem to be less bitchy about my smoking than my non smoking friends who drink....intriguing

The straight edge lifestyle has nothing to do with repressing ones self, it merely puts those urges to less self-destructive use. Considering as a good deal of straight-edge kids are punks and other counter-culture kids who get out their anger and sadness through music and flailing around on dance floors like morons then going out back with your monogomous partner, there is a minimum of repression going on.
And like I said satisfying, may I repeat, natural urges doesn't have to be self-destructive as, may I repeat yet again, you can do it safely.

No offense like, but I suspect you don't know what you're talking about.
Hedonism = WIN!!!!*
Disclaimer: You have to do it right.
Theorise all you wish, but ultimately you have to try it or SUYF!!!
At best, you are guessing, at worst you lie.
Suuuuuuuuure.
never mind..
i forgot about this whole thing.. i read about it in maybe '99 or '00.
you know.... if yer straightedged because drugs are generally detrimental to your health, i've got a message for ya. most drugs'll fawk you up, sometimes makin those holes in yer brain, etc.
but over in Iran and the surrounding area (i believe?), there's a much different situation. a drug called qat is chewed, and the juices ingested, to produce a buzz. it's incredibly popular, and was banned in Iraq. frequently there are groups of people that chew it together, as a community experience, a spiritual one, or for any other reason (just wanna get a buzz).
the funny thing is, though... there are, as of yet, NO dangers to your health from gettin high off of this particular plant. i think it's also pretty cheap, maybe around the price of cheap mj.
presently getting actual info.
I don't think its any coincidence that the rise of drug culture occured at the same time as the change in music from dance music to listening music. People seem to have a hard time having fun these days unless they have alcohol as an excuse. If you want to act stupid, just do it! If you want to dance, just do it! You really don't need alcohol to warm up. Now go out and suprise yourself. Half of peoples drunkeness is just acted anyways. People have trouble being responsible for their own behavior so they use alcohol to provide an excuse for having fun.
Celastrus edulis is the name of the game.
contains "ephedrinelike compounds". one of the obvious reasons that it's relatively safer than other drugs is that it contains ascorbic acid, an antidote to amphetamine compounds present in the drug at the same time.
in Yemen, they used qat BEFORE they used coffee. apparently, users have "feelings of bliss, clarity of thought, and [become] euphoric and overly energetic".
i don't mean to advocate drug use with this post, but i just had to let it out. it's prety fascinating. reports say over an 80% portion of the adult population in Yemen uses qat.
i discovered it in an issue of time magazine.
I don't think ciggaret ash is that bad for you if you just eat it.
A beer a day wont kill you.
so don't. ^_^
