something about using balloon knot, common, circle, and ashamed all in one sentence leads me to believe there's an opportunity for a punch line i'm missing. can't put my finger on it.

In retrospect, I should have gone with bright white. Nothing like the smell of ballon knot bleaching in the morning!

Really Val? Nothing on this one?

I feel like I remember some bit sh!tstorm in years past about a.nal bleaching in OT. Maybe I'm hallucinating again.

Consult your physician if hallucinations persist:

Few permanent effects are recognized with mushroom use. Those who have psychotic reactions to the drug may have pre-existing mental illness that has not yet been diagnosed. A psychotic experience on hallucinogenic drugs is a risk for those who have latent mental illness. The psychotic experience may have permanent effects on the user. These can be recognized as panic attacks, anxiety and paranoia. A complete psychotic episode of audio or visual hallucinations will occur with use of the drug, but may continue in users with additional mental illness.

...and next time maybe share with a friend....

I did mushrooms once. People's faces fell off. Never again.......

Val's signature makes me feel like I need a Silkwood shower.

What's up with the new sock puppets?

What's up with the new sock puppets?

My guess is that there was some deal made in their sooper-sekret FB group to see what could be gotten away with. I don't know why VJ doesn't do what so many other boards do -- you can't post in the off topic sections until you post X number of posts in the more substantive areas. I mean, even my Volvo forum has this as a function. Hive OT and CE&HST into its own sub-section away from the regionals, Moving Here, Finding Work, etc., and restrict access. Doesn't need to have a separate TOS, or allow less "family-friendly" language/topics.

Frankly, I'm perplexed how such obvious sock puppets are allowed to remain. They come in, post only in one area, know all the dynamics of the older members, call members by former usernames, use identical tropes they used before, and yet... nothing? It doesn't take the Brains Trust to know what's happening.

On an unrelated topic, I just want to say how much I love a good glass of red wine, and how it makes all teh internet dramaz seem dumb as hell.

ya, just another demographic attribute on the site owner, this 'lack of' configurable stuff on this here site. gadzooks and golly-gee-whillikers ! IP-Board is configurable to get what you've described.

Oh mave-o. One does not need to waste a perfectly good glass of red-goodness to come to this conclusion. But I am glad you got to throw the ol'feet up on the desk so to speak.

Who would like to come and help me paint? I can offer booze and stimulating conversation.

Anyone?
