Jumping in to say that drugs affect different people in different ways.

If you’re given a new drug, it’s a good idea to keep a log of all your responses, even things that seem minor.

I grew up seeing the old Italian men drinking it near the bocci courts.

It’s made in Brooklyn, USA.

I’m getting upvotes, so apparently we aren’t the only ones who figured it out.

“The Big Time” by Fritz Leiber. The Change War is being fought on every planet in the universe from the moment of the Big Bang to the end of time. Two sides, the Spiders and the Snakes, are trying to rewrite history for their own purposes. The Law Of Conservation of Reality states that Time will oppose any change, so you have to fight the same battles over and over and over in order to get any changes.

Fun book.

I have to agree with Stephen King and say that the Kennedy assassination was the moment it snapped.

Going heavy in Vietnam started the destruction of the US economy, and Nixon tripled down on it.

I like the theory that the Mayans were right and the world ended in 2012.

A redwood can be dead and still stand for years…

Here’s something not many people consider.

Before Reagan, popular media had tons of intellectual content. Superheroes would hang out with Edgar Allan Poe or Sitting Bull. Cartoons like Mr. Peabody taught kids the names of historical figures and Bugs Bunny played opera.

Then Reagan deregulated kids TV and you got half hour long commercials for GI Joe and The Transformers.

And this isn’t over until one of us gets a ‘rusty venture.’

I did the both commnet before I saw yours.

The handcrafted copper mug makes yours the superior comment. I bow to your perversion.

Why not both?

Pfui!

That’s just a Rangoon artichoke, except with opera gloves and a few extra bowling pins.

Also, anything becomes a bizarre sex act if you put a place name in front of an inanimate object.

A Yukon hairdryer.

A Baltimore oilcan.

A Moscow boot lace.

A Nairobi ice cream cone.

Old time science fiction writer Fritz Leiber posited that the best place to hide time travelers was in a theater. Theaters opne and close and no one is amazed, and if a civilian sees an astronaut talking to someone in armor it’s not a big deal.

If Trump pissed his pants on live TV his MAGats would tell you that he’s a genius who invented a self dying cloth.

Sadly, the Air Force has to rebuild it so it can serve as a Presidential plane. That means the ‘gift’ will cost the taxpayers more than just building a new jet would. One of the reasons the emirs needed to get rid of it is that 747s are old tech and there aren’t a lot of mechanics who specialize in them any more.

Trump could have just called the Saudis on Inauguration Day 2016 and told them his Swiss Bank. He’d have had more money and could have just watched TV for eight years. Greedy and not bright.

Thank you for providing the answer
