I tried this "3 drag" experiment with a "Hawaiian" cigarette Experimental notes: ...............I love scientific experiments of this sort ...............damn! one of these days I'm going to invent a rolling paper for old people ...............finally! ...............wait a minute ...............was that the 3rd drag or the 4th ...............can't remember...what did she say to do? ...............crappers! ...............do-over ...............perseverance ...............gotta love it :))))))))))) Words to live by: Enjoy cannabis while you still cannabis. (of course, only if you live where it's legalized). - {%}; ))))))))))

Offering prayers 11 years after 9/11, realizing, by their very act of giving of up all claim to truth in the word, that they have found the key to defeat all that evil. (I think I just blew my mind!)

Realizing that offering prayers to counteract evil in the world as evidenced by 9/ll, (by their very action of praying for an end to such evil acts) is in itself the end of evil.

'The poets are supposed to liberate the words - not chain them in phrases. Who told the poets they were supposed to think? Poets are supposed to sing and to make words sing.

'The ability to soft-boil an egg is not regarded as a virtue in Spain. The more pervious a culture is to Surrealism, the less preoccupied it is with the least imaginative thing you can do with an egg. It's a post-Protestant talent to stand around for four minutes watching water precipitate gastronomic banality.' - Jonathan Meades
