I have heard from various people around town about the prevalent use of cocaine. This surprised me quite a bit! Quoting a local:
If you are out past 2AM partying, odds are everyone is coked up
Seriously? Maybe we are a little-big city! What brought this to light was an article today from the Daily Mail that reports cocaine and ecstacsy deaths are up 1,200% since 1993.
‘People think they can copy celebrities and do a quick line because it doesn’t have the same stigma as other class As but it’s actually just as destructive. ‘People are often ignorant of the risks of combining alcohol with cocaine for example, which can increase the risk of liver and heart disease, strokes and epilepsy.

Well, it used to be a secret.
oh i thought everybody knew about this.
whhhhoooooooooooooooooot! ahhhh.
hey baby, let’s smile real wide and talk fast.
everyone but me, apparently.
i’ve only ever even seen it once, and that was several years ago (and WAY before 2AM). it’s not really my thing. i prefer to go in the other direction if i’m going to party.
/doesn’t get out much…
I never see it going on but I always hear about it after the fact. My ex said every week at the bar someone would offer it to him. Amd we went to a wedding this summer and somebody offered some to him there. Nobody has ever offered me any ever. I must look like a goody two shoes.
Hey shen, you want some coke.
@4 yeah i’ve honestly only run into it 3-4 times in 5 years, but the rumor! oh man, the rumor of cocaine is running around screaming and sweating on people with its shirt half un-tucked, chain smoking and not making a fucking iota of sense.
what i’m saying is that it may or may not be true. definitely maybe.
@6: Mmm, oh yeah, thanks.
@7: i’ve honestly only run into it 3-4 times in 5 years That’s flour dude.
I’ve never even *seen* cocaine in real life, and the only time I’ve had it offered was in the red light district in Amsterdam.
totally different circles I guess.
/i want some pez though
Living/Working in the high end retail industry in DC/Baltimore afforded me the pleasure of being an outcast for NOT doing it. It was definitely hard to hold a conversation after midnight in a lot of the hot spots up there.
/lemon pez please.
@10 ooh. I bet if I hung out in Baltimore more, I would have seen it. I was the outcast at raves for not doing acid.
Friend of mine wants to move to Baltimore.. likes Fells Point, Inner Harbor, etc ..
unfortunately, it’s still filled with people who live in Baltimore.
/ravens suck
Hardly prevalent at all, really.
/can we stop “signing” stuff like this? It’s tired.
@11 that’s baltimore’s biggest problem. that, and the heroin, prosties, VD, and murders. if you take all that stuff away, you’d have a really… well, you’d have a shell of a former city.
@13 Baltimore.. Charm City! I love that.
Motto: “The Greatest City in America”,
“Get in on it.”
(formerly “The City That Reads”)
I guess the whole ‘reading’ bit didn’t work out too well for them.
Yeah, those little spots were nice but living there…eesh.
@13 - I lol’ed
Yeah, the coke problem is a bit excessive considering where we are… I mean, it is Charlottesville, but with rich students and more rich people moving here; it isn’t that surprising at all.
What about the HUGE ecstasy issue? No one seems to care about that, but I can’t go out in Charlottesville without running into at least a couple people tweaked on E. Maybe the guy quoted was confusing the two?
@13 the city of Baltimore has Micheal Phelps and eight gold medals- so that got that going for them.
i’m gonna go with: ‘it’s pretty much wherever you want it.”
grating to realize that the majority of late-night happenings are supplemented. it’s certainly not a secret habit.
that slogan quickly got bastardized into “The City That Breeds”
do people still do ecstasy? i gave it up when i found out i could get high on household cleaning supplies.
parlie, I would have guessed you were a jenkem fan.
@17 yeah, Baltimore pretty much doubled it’s net worth just from those gold medals. that stuff is expensive!
@21 Also the home of Under Armor right?
oh man, if i could get my hands on some quality jenkem i’d be the next loudest flautist.

Ok, from now on, I will sign my posts as follows:
/dave
Yes.
I personally think it’s pathetic to see adults reduced to a pack of dogs when there’s a promise of some coke or molly. I have literally seen a house party lose half its crowd when word of cocaine in another location gets around.
@25: I love it when that happens because that leaves more alcohol for me. I never understood stimulants. Give me depressants, all of them.
@26 Agreed. It takes a lot of work to get a good buzz going, why ruin it with overpriced baking soda?
@26, 27: THIS. I’m crazy enough on booze.
/almost got into a fight at the last Villain party
@28 I thought that was just to drum up interest so you could take over the site.
Also, it’s obvious that the “Thor” that posted this is Francesco. You use too many exclamations dude.
Hahaha…way to call him out.
Just keeping it real. I miss real Thor. Is he on vacay?
There were a handful of Thors at SS on Tuesday.
Looks like this site has REALLY jumped the shark.
How many Thors are in a handful?
@34: Like lions, Thors move in a unit known as a “pride”. echo’s just drunk again, so he’s confused.
How many Thors does it take to write a post?
@35: saying “jumped the shark” has er, jumped the shark.
@38: Is that really you? Quick, pull down your pants!
@ 35 How come everyone that complains about this site (on this site) have really normal sounding names?
I do agree though, this topic is a wafting cloud of suck. “Do you take class A narcotics? Well do you? Tell the intertubes about it, why doncha?”
/dave
@all
what a delight to discover that the posters on this site aren’t all coke-n-poke; i had wrongly (apologies) assumed otherwise. akes me super-happy.
BYo is dead-on (as always), and Shen’s Ex (perhaps at one time dead-on, until a regrettable slip of judgment caused him to dump her 8.5-beshod ass flatter than dirt)– happydust is all over the phony-glam restaurants downtown; unfailing available and offered. See it all the time when i’m trying quietly to employ WC at any of the CC bars, and certs, kiddies, when the Esc RRs are locked and a pair emerge.
In some ways for me there’s a lovely nostalgia about it—reminds me of the late-80s. One of my great pals in europe was one of the Choate Eleven (i think it was Choate) who got axed for alternatingly flying to Colombia or wherever on weekend-furloughs and returning with Gladstone bags packed full of the stuff… went on for a couple years before they got nabbed.
Ecstasy is culturally dull… i can’t break the association i have between it and tweaked-out Raver-teens and strobe-lights. Wish this town would give up coke (promotes expensive haircuts, repetitive clipped conversation and short black dresses) and ecstasy (promotes stupid haircuts) and endo-weed (promotes not-bathing and poor service at Miller’s, no service at Blue Moon) entirely, and stick to the classier more self-evidently intellectual psychopharmacopoeia–LSD, Mescaline, Peyote, Mushrooms… and the classic Empire-Builder/Breakers, with all exoticism/orientalism of them: opium and haschisch.
there’s an amusing website somewhere (can’t find it for you) about Cville in the late 90s, about the experiments and adventures of a bunch of zany (cf Merry Pranksters, later-day) kids who built a community around the neo-psychedelic and neo-sedative properties of Robotussin…alone or mixed in cocktails (club soda and lime)… very funny and kindof nicely local because it all seemingly happened out-of-mainstream… there wasn’t a national ‘tussing’ movement at the time, though certainly the use (misuse) had been around forever. I loved it because it was ‘OURS’and not just Cville catching up ten years later on some Manhattan faddishness.
@28
i like to think of Shen in a fight at Cvillain Party (escafe, was it?); nice to be TALL if you’re going to be OPINIONATED and VOCAL.
@general
what controlled substance makes women easy? i mean the chemical content of alcohol, diet-coke and lipgloss (and pool-chlorine, thanks Shen) are obvious ones… but what about these others, above. It’d be worth getting behind the one that does… this town is (his thoughts dissolve into muttering curses…..)
@40 the whole week has been that way.
@41: He cheated on me with a 20 year old blonde bimbo. So I dumped HIM. Thankyouverymuch.

Flooze, that is so incredibly cruel. I like it.

@45/46 OMG echo is Floozy AND mc…I knew it!
@52 I hear Shen likes it when you say she has a nice butt
@54
who, the blonde tart? I assume she MUST have had a nice one…
we have a pronoun problem on this site.
Shen’s own is ex-quisite—i think stanley sent me a pic-link. still never seen other of her than THAT and her arms unwrapping the box….
@ 42 I hate carping on it because I haven’t written anything in a while, but really what the fuck kinda question is the above?
Reminds me of some wisdom I once absorbed, and since it was drug related, naturally it occurred at a dead show in the late eighties in Eugene Oregon. I was traveling on a school bus with some Hog Farmers (commune, not occupation), and one had obtained a rather large quantity of laboratory mescaline, which of course was consumed over the next few days. Back then, when the dead came to a smallish town, it was quite the circus, which of course brought out the local (old) media. All in our group were quite well into our extrapsychological adventures (suffice it to say, after that weekend I understood clearly why southwestern art is all rectalinial and agular, but i digress) when an “Action News Team” came for an interview. A woman named Goose, who was maybe 50, and was, in the parlance, “frying fucking balls” became the spokesperson by default. The usual questions were asked, and that meant eventually the question of the dead’s fan’s reputation for being on drugs came up. She calmly went into a little speech about how the music was great on its own, and yeah maybe some people get a little wasted but people should really try it “on the natch” as it were, and drugs weren’t really a problem. And all the while, to her, the reporter’s face probably resembled an Anasazi fishing creel. The reporter left none the wiser. She was on TV that night. She could have railed about legalization. She could have bragged with a wink and a nod to seem hip. But she kept it totally cool, which was, well, totally cool.
Now I dont dabble in substances any more, Im too ‘parenty’, but when I used to, anyone that asked you what you were on, where you got it etc etc was instantly suspect. I imagine this topic was borne of ignorance of drug culture, or maybe its just a really slow day in tartare-land, but I maintain, its a pretty stupid question to ask. Even more stupid to answer.
/my two cents, dave.
@53 FINALLY someone worked it out. I’m Parlie, BYo and Oy as well… and we all stand in as Thor every second Wednesday and rotating Fridays unless there is a public holiday like next week where it switches over to a Thursday or a Monday whichever comes first.
/drugs are crap.just keepin it on topic.

i suspect i would have enjoyed that immensely, as i am otherwise epris, it would be nice to see her steady and see her whole.

Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.
@79 BYo absinthe? It not be my absinthe.
I have only ever taken one shot of absinthe. I dont know if it was “real” or not. All I know about the stuff is people like to bicker about whether its “real” or not.
Tequila. Beer. Wine with food. Cigs. My vice list is nearly down to zero, though what it lacks in diversity, it makes up in intensity.

@83, @84
that was answer enuf. serves me right for being on-topic occasionally, and always a pedant.
gnight all– i tried to CPR this thing, but now getting critical shutdown warnings.
will to snnrs later this eve if can.
@absinthe
I’d put it under the alcohol category. From my limited knowledge of it, it depends on the presence and quantity thujone to give it any hallucinogenic properties.
I have been told on several occasions that the stuff that you could get in the states still was not the real deal that you might find in Europe.
A friend of mine sneaks a bottle back whenever he makes a trip over that way. My personal experience with it is that it tastes like terrible, horrible fire, and it gives you that hot miserable feeling in your stomach similar to Goldschlager times 10. Other than the obvious end result of taking a clean shot of 160 proof liquor, I had no hallucinogenic results at all.
Now, I’m a follower of the belief that it’s just a gimmick that has capitalized on its’ controversial appeal.
/Immediately after the shot, I swore I’d never drink it again.
//I forget easily.

@ absinthium
at ABC it’s 68 bucks for Swiss version claiming to be authentic, with ‘louche’ property, etc.
these cheerful reviews of it…. i’m SO THERE… will report back.
/ee duchamps hemingway ubu lautrec
the swiss version is tasty, and makes me giggly after two rounds… but hey, wine did the same thing for me back in the day.
thing is, most first timers order it just to say they tried it. when they figure out it tastes like licorish, they turn into whimpering piles of mush.
ok, back to the original post - back in the day - god, I sound so codger-ish - it was like coke was legal - check out the mirror in the ladies room at the virginian - I got lines for tips at the bar and lines in exchange for the door cover at bars. There were so many late night coke parties - I can’t even remember. What is terribly lovely, however, is that just a couple of weeks ago I was offered the pure white powder and had to turn it down, out of some weird freakish morality that comes with age…
/damn, I’m old, but I do enjoy the offer
@absinthe: brought a bottle back from prague. NEVAR AGAIN.
after much deliberation on the subject, and at the behest of a few of you, I think that I need to disabuse you all of a very dark and unfortunate thread that is weaving its way into far too many posts here. And in this case, one is too many.
@41 to 82 - I am having a lot of trouble with what’s going on here. I think the subject of a lot of these comments is getting a terrible rap here. I don’t want there to be any comments back to my note here, but a lot of folks on here know this guy and I consider him to be one of my closest friends. I just can’t bear to read this. It is pettiness and unfortunate commentary in the direction of a really good guy that just cannot be true.
I don’t want to start a big thing here, or get on any bad sides, but I think that commentary of specific relationships, particularly those where both parties are known to many people on this site, is just out of place and out of line.
That’s it. I’m not touching this thing with a 74 foot pole any more. My peace.
95: thank you thank you thank you. I didn’t know how to address it without making it worse, but I totally agree and almost want to quit (!!!!!!) over it. sooooo not cool, please don’t make assumptions, etc etc etc etc etc. please and thanks.
sorry, you requested no comments back. you’re right.

The C’Ville told me to keep up on this blog, but did I listen…No, and I lost a chance to publicize my blog.
Check out my post on cocaine in C’ville from July: http://doublesingledouble.blogspot.com/2008/07/drug-deal.html
I’m not sure what it means to talk about deaths from cocaine or ecstasy with a smile, like the original post. Woman selling drugs in my post is selling it to poor waiters, drunk rednecks, and unemployed workers. People that need a “bump” after drinking a case of beer or want to boil it into crack to go “wide fucking open.”
No secret!
The real question is, who put the “C” in C(oke)Ville? Hmm…
@95/96, et al:
soooo, turns out we were mistaken in our drunk posting. so I’m gonna correct that with another drunk posting. turns out that this phrase–
an alllllllll that followed was not about the most recent ex, but a far far past one. as we clearly suspected it was NOT true in relation to our mutual acquaintance. and so sorry everyone, for that misunderstanding and mini-rant and hopefully no one else is laboring under similar misunderstandings and if they are, they are now disavowed of them.
sorry sorry sorry. drunk posting isn’t possible with topics cross threads… shit is muddled.

um, i’m too busy to look up past threads, or even scroll through the myriads, but mc’s post almost made me muddle through.

go team cvillain!
then i started to look.
@94: is the bottle empty? cause i like it done proper in amsterdam…:)
with relevance to 56. (personal experince out there in GD land)..
the day jerry dies, i lived in the redwoods to the west of san jose. but we folks of what they coined the vibe tribe had our own substance imbibing music making memorial in san jose. i finally was over the “scene” of the night and drove up 17N to home without my at the time ridiculous(at the moment) boyfriend.
after driving over “the hill” in full moon-light, complete with the clouds that roll off the monterey bay and linger in the mountains, i got home and felt the need to call back to “the barn” where everyone was undoubtedly babbling and playing music and..?! a girl form the other side of the crowd (a speedfreak- the psychedelic crowd and the meth had some issues)…i asked to speak to my boyfriend. she paused disdainfully, and then informed me with what sounded like a cross of glee and smugness, that “he couldn’t come to the phone”. (pause) “the news are here, and he is naked on the couch being interviewed”. (big so she thought win emphasis on the word “naked”).
mmm’kay.
apperently after i left, a news crew looking to pick up on jerry’s dying was cruising around looking for any story. they spied a friend driving a VA beetle(!) with stickers on (!) at a gas station and asked how he felt. he said he was on his way to where a lot of (hippies/deadheads) were having a “gathering”. they followd. heh.
but also back to belmont yo’s @56.
c’mon. give cvillain your las vegas story.
it’s up there with the bear story.
but maybe i just think so since i like those and GD/tour stories i am pretty familiar with .
it is a good one.
wait. anyone else here up for a grateful dead tour/belmont, yo version story?
if so, cheer on. if not, it doesn’t matter to me.
Christ. The vegas story. Let me have some breakfast first, then perhaps.
We have a free for all for a reason.
I love vegas stories that don’t manage to stay in vegas
@109 I think you’re going to have a hard time keeping people on “topic” when the topic is asking them if they do cocaine, and whether they know anything about the cocaine scene in Cville. I’m going to take a wild guess that people who have such information are not going to post it willingly, even on an “anonymous” website.
It might not be a secret, but that doesn’t mean people are going to group therapy their habits here, or that of their friends/acquaintances. And if they do, well then, they probably just lost their connections.
@ an praising upbeat aside
since the post has mentioned alcohol, glam, the so-very modern and cville nights:
WHY DIDN’T ANYONE TELL ME (POST) CLEARLY THAT X-LOUNGE IS EFFING GODHEAD.
what a glorious establishment;
1) everyone there had bathed
2) cocktails were dirt-cheap and heavy-poured
3) excessively tall blonde kept looking at me in wild surmise (silent on a peak in Darien, as the poet says)
4) the space itself is gorgeous
5) it’s not on the Mall; and from the patio, heat-lightning and railtracks
i may never set foot in miller’s/C&O again… ever.
@ 111 It is a very professionally run establishment. Its ONLY flaw, is the lack of hooks for purses under the bar.
If you’re ever there when I am playing, otterpop, (sept 20 & 27 being the next) please, don’t hesitate to introduce yourself. I would love to meet he who is dung.
people still set foot in Miller’s?
BYo Do you think Otter drives a VW Beetle?
/drugs are crap
@112
Thank you for that kind invitation, BYo, and i will introduce myself if i make it—please remind me of the dates when the time approaches?
I was bowled-over by XL, otterly (beat you to the punch on that one). Wish i’d known it was so great, sooner, as my alcohol consumption fell dramatically when i got generally disgusted by CC bars and (@113) the barnyard-grotesquerie that Miller’s has become (it wasn’t always so.).
Bartender fellow was tremendously courteous and professional and unintrusive… impressive in itself.
One thing i especially enjoyed about X-Lounge was that the whole time i was there, not one soul OF or IN the establishment made even the slightest effort to be friendly or make me feel welcome in ANY WAY—i mean this w/o irony/sarcasm…. it was…perversely… welcoming to be ignored (except by that blonde, all six-foot-seven of her beneath a striking bob-cut and really remarkable pointy-nose whom I’m sure was mocking-with-derision not gawking-with-interest). At Miller’s or C&O or even Buddha it always felt like i was Norm walking into Cheers, for all the warmth and good-wishes and exchanges of pleasantries, when all i wanted was to start guzzling ANYthing with alcohol in it IMMEDiately to kill the pain of being there.
@114
a Beetle? what an odd question; i missed the connexion/reference but laughed obligingly and high-fived the air out of courtesy to dear, kind Floozie. New or old beetle? Old would make me Woody Allen, and New would make me that weirdo with A-D-D and a goatee who does the home-improvement show. Am neither.
ummmm…. and coke is a big secret and we live in cville and people do it, but not evidently at X-Lounge.
@112
though i’m not aware of anyone who has ‘enjoyed’ meeting me. ever. period.
I’m supposed to be doing 20 other things besides playing on the internet right now but the comcast guy came today so I’m being naughty.
Otterdung, I am glad you liked X Lounge. I am sad you only pay attention to blondes and not cute redhead barmaids.
Ah, well y’all are obviously doing more important shit than talking on here I see. Guess I’ll go install that chain door guard now.

except maybe our own 2:53 freight train rumblin through our burg at the moment…
@125
pretty darn romantic…
like one of those impossibly complicated black-n-white plot-twisty old movies… whhere everyone in the audience knows everything, feels the suspens of impeending doom, but the two actors haven’t got a fucking cluee, keep passing each other on wronng train out of Zurich with someone else’’s suitcase.
what ever happened to restaurant-staff NAMETAGS???? ‘Hi, i’m Shen’…
XLOUNGE, takee a tip from DeNNY’S….
typos, sorry. alarmingly sober at 3 am, but sitting in middle of forest typing on a telephone trying to find this goddam screech-owl.
@117: you naughty, naughty, girl! seven lashes from this handful of locally grown and produced wet tartare!
/14 dances on elevated tables and unbidden sass is your pennance. all will be forgiven.
?/
oh, oops, it’s 3 am, on a weekend and i just “waited on everyone at two restaurants all day and night- i’m sure someone will tell me i’m off topic soon.
/you try it.
you’re dead-on. the thread starts with ‘if you’re up after 2 a.m.’…
gnight s.
ok, can’t say “goodnight” when it’s after 3am…
/just sayin
gee - all my friends went home… (pout)
for the record- scoriole, of all the drugs offered and or imbibed:
i like my psychedelics ( wish i had time for them anymore)read= not in many years.
i hate that my job/ my locatoin suits alcoholics..
but cocaine(ON TOPIC) is not geographically needed here, and, OD, if you suspect i have anything to do with it, you are wrong.
i like all the freaks but ther has only been one time in the past three years i even allowed it onto the property. and of course, it was a bad decision.
i post late because i work long hours into night. and duh, in restaurants.
coke is icky in my book.
is that on topic enough?!
why you gotta provoke?
/don’t bea hater…do the mash potater….( i dare you- dance in the kitchen,
alone, with friend, with family- and try to mash potatoe. ~and i mean everyone, even the lurkers out there!)\
/product of wierdness and a farm and stuff.
wow, scoriole, where the heck did that come from? Nobody’s hating…
ima thinkin that you nodded off, until manana, bro…
@ had to climb a tree to find a star by which to navigate out of forest.
note to self: next time get the cellphone with GPS.
Hoped to locate an eastern screech-owl by its calls, lure it in with a handful of tartare, kidnap it and return with it to my own woods. it ANNOYS me that i can’t hear owls hooting in my woods at nite. seems little enuf to ask of a cuntry dwelling, that owls should hoo-hoo, feel i’ve been ripped-off.
drugs are, yes, bad.
Whatever otterpoo. If you didn’t notice me on Sat. then I must looked like chopped liver to you. We’re through.
Yo otter dung, when wooing a bartender it’s best not to compare her cool bar to Denny’s.
(3am drunk post are probable not the way to go either)
But if you could not just walk up and say hi, she might not be the one for you.
Shen he did say in another thread that you ran in the back when he come to get a drink for you.
“the course of true love never did run smooth”
Um, it’d be pretty hard for me to run away considering I don’t know what he looks like since he is an anonymous poster. I, on the other hand am in numerous photos on this site, people know I work at X lounge and refer to my red hair only all the f’in time. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist. Guess I wasn’t hawt enough to catch otterdummy’s eye.
Yeah, I just reporting what he alleged, I can’t see you running away from anyone. What would be the point.
If you can’t handle the hawtness get out of the X lounge.
(easy for me to say considering my retirement from the dating scene perhaps the rules have changed)
@139 to 142
Whoa Whoa Whoa!!!!
I think you must not have been out front, Shen–i saw only a DUDE slinging cosmopolitans and otherwise a hot chick fo-head to fo-head with her back to me waaaaayyyyy behind the bar talking to some dude with a whole lot of beards, moustachios, sideburns, etc., the two in rapt conversation. If that turns out to have been you, i assure you i enjoyed a fetching vue d’arriere.
I also have never seen you, though i suppose i could do searches etc. on the site, by your authorization, making me thus not a creepy cyber-stalker? I hadn’t done so up to this point, for that reason, and to keep the mystery alive, etc. ad insipidium.
Her bar is inimitably cool… i was suggesting i might have located herself better if they all wore bigass smileyface nametags LIKE denny’s (i assume) staff do, or if she’d had on espadrilles that were, saaayyy, leprechaun-green.
I was just joshing of course about her likely flight-to-egypt upon my entry to the bar… she’s demonstrated her dauntlessness numerously here.
What a pity-n-shame though, to have been so close with no cigar (ahem).
It never occurred to me to ask any of the staff or clientele where she might be, inasmuch as they were all so sedulously ignoring my sorry gin-swilling ass the whole time i was there.
Had i been alerted to her presence by some clue, i would no doubt have been agog, spilled my drink, and stammered-out a cheery Hello.
anonymous by witless-protection.
i still wonder what the deuce the six-foot-nine blonde was chortling up her sleeve at.
OMFG… Shen was chatting up Stanley
/Otter… def sounds like Shens ass dude….. best rear view in Cville.
@145
That was Stanley?
He had a disconcerting gleam/twinkle in his eye, if indeed that was his eye and not some gem-like glistening ornaments appended to the yards of fancifully gardened facial-foliage. (i’m amusing myself, not at YOUR expense Stanley…).
In that case, Shen is suhhhhhh-weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttt !!!!!
{he grins broadly, floating on his back cracking open clams with a sea-rock in his little greedy paws…}
just think, if email had been invented and was commonly used for private communication, we wouldn’t even have any idea that… nothing… is going on.
thank god email has never been invented!
Hahahahaha…. nice nice otter imagery there my man…..I love you dude!!!!
Stanley is indeed a veritable forest of facial hair….Charles Stuart Parnell would have been proud of him
That was Stanley?
Nope. Must’ve been some other be-bearded lout. I was elsewhere this weekend.
Stanley…. did you like my CSP link… uncanny?
@150: I did. Very regal. I should comb my hair and wear old-timey suits more often.
Back to the ACTUAL subject of the post, lol…
It’s really a big problem among the migrant laborers who live in the Four Seasons area… If you look closely, most of them have “coke nails” -one pinkie nail is reeeeaaaallly long- and they sniffle a lot. I just don’t understand the allure of cocaine. Who wants to constantly feel like they are going to have a heart attack???
me-thinks you has confused cocaine with meth?
Who wants to constantly feel like they are going to have a heart attack???
philbert, just as an FYI, we sorta try to avoid talking about politics on this site, and bringing up Dick Cheney just seems sort of uncharitable anyway. But I appreciate your point.
dick cheney does coke??? doesn’t he have a heart problem??
@147
parlie has had me chortling for ten minutes now.
that’s three concise brilliant memorable lines so far.
if maya angelou could write three memorable lines…
we were talking about drugs, coke etc. at CC bars and in connection with CC parties… we got our arses chewed by someone or another for those posts at that time…
i assume coke is still costly? anyone know what an 8-ball costs and how long one lasts? might give us a better idea of who (demographics not names) CAN have buckets of the stuff around. is it cheap and available, or is it like a hundred-dollar tequila shot? the only real co-ho i knew in late 90s switched to crack or meth and, i think, is dead now.
dick cheney does coke??? doesn’t he have a heart problem??
I reiterate the need for a cVillain joke-explanation blog. I guess my joke failed.
@156 - categorically, no.
/feel so out of the loop
@157 dick cheney and cocaine have a lot in common actually.
they both kill people, and make erections disappear.
@154. I just laughed so hard I snorted half an O back out my nose. Totally had a Mary Kate Olsen moment. Whoops!
@156. One of my friends is sadly a user, and s/he pays about… 150 for an 8-ball? I think? It’s scary stuff in my opinion.
@157, i was working on this, but it is a herculean task .. maybe ill send out an email blast asking people to help
@160
is an 8 ball the size of an 8 ball, or 8 ounces, or what? why not Cue Ball, for the color?
@ 162. Otter, it’s an eighth of an ounce. Ugh! You just don’t do enough drugs!
I sure hope I’m not VILIFIED for knowing too much about narcotics!
Otterdung does not need to be on drugs.
LOL @ shen. Neither do I. That’s why I don’t do them. alcohol and the occasional cigarette do me juuust fine.
…And painkillers I found in my medicine cabinet from 2 years ago that TOTALLY should have been thrown out but just seemed way too tempting, and made for a zany day at work.
ps shen i am now your co-worker
PARTAYYYYYYY!
@166 perhaps you should buy some Cristal to celebrate
i always wondered what “8-ball”meant…
I am very happy to post my comment in this blog. I gathered lot of information. Very nice blog.
you made your point clearly……..
Keep going on….
Charlottesville has some of the best food on the planet and the best place to find your dining and restaurant suggestions is over to cVillain!
