This brings to mind those ubiquitous stories of these semi-anonymous one-night stands where, non the morning after, one of the participants writes on the bathroom mirror "Welcome to the world of AIDS" in lipstick, etc.  Sensational and not a whit of truth.

And after a few hits, the guy also wants me to make him a sandwich--BLT with mayo.

And after she washed her hair with mayo, she set her hair on frozen OJ concentrate tubes.  Approximately 35 years after reading Go Ask Alice, I still remember that.  I thought it was weird that chocolate-covered peanuts were her favorite, but they aren't mentioned until the very end.

I was much more excited by the Sweet Dreams series.  Mostly because I envisioned myself dating as a teenager, and not running away to Haight Ashbury.

Anyone else remember the movie? I saw the movie on late night TV as a young teen before I ever read the book (given to me by an aunt who was an avid reader of "testimony porn" like "Cross and the Switchblade"

I had a friend who in the late 1980's/early 1990's tried to push "The Cross and the Switchblade" onto me along with anti-D&D agenda..I still play D&D..

I remember reading this in the 8th grade.

It never dawned on me that it wasn't true.

I guess I still am naive.

And my son told me recently....he says Mom ,you know you can make meth with your face cream?

I was appalled,but he claims it can be done with glycerin..among other stuff,I assume.

...I need to get a CO state ID. For many reasons, but also for local discounts.
 
I'm edibles-only (can't smoke anything), and they have chocolate bars that are just amazing. Tasty chocolate, doesn't taste like weed, good for a buzz that will lead to a nap.


We have a local place with the most delicious edibles!! (Tommy Chong is part owner, so I credit him for part of that [emoji38] )

They even have a soda that's delicious. ($8/bottle - but so worth it!)

Ah, the late 80s and early 90s, it was a simpler, more innocent time:

It's an episode of LoadingReadyLive (currently the latest episode), which is a sort of comedy variety show put together by Canadian comedy group LoadingReadyRun.  They stream it live about every fortnight.  Since the latest episode was on April 1st, they did something... special.  Hence the late 80s / early 90s community television format.  Spoilered because off topic to the thread:

Spoiler

 

Every episode is hilarious in its own way.  There's a playlist of all of them here: 

They also have a ton of other comedy stuff.  Over twelve years worth.  And they livestream at https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun (Mostly gaming adjacent stuff but they also have a crafty kind of show called Tinker Taylor Solder Fry).  The next LoadingReadyLive is the evening of Sat 15th for those who want to catch it live (and participate in chat), at least in their timezone.  (It's not convenient for me but they get it up on youtube within a day so that's good enough for me.)

I wasn't sure whether they would actually be doing one next week because they're doing the official Magic the Gathering Amonkhet Pre-Prerelease event the day before.  (Or in other words, they and some invited guests get to show off playing the new Magic cards the week before the rest of the world gets them.)  You can check their schedule at http://loadingreadyrun.com/live Or just waste weeks and weeks replaying their old streams which they put at their confusingly named other channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpvugL8Qxc8-aXlO0KUtXXQ (they've had at least three different things named LoadingReadyLive over the years, because it's too good a name.)

LoadingReadyLive (the variety show, I mean) is also known to fans as FU"T (the " is actually meant to be an umlaut over nothing) because of in-joke reasons (i.e. it's a reference to the first episode).

For something shorter but in a similar vein of entertainment, try QWERPLINE

It's basically a pretend local radio station, in the town of Nsburg in which hijinks continually ensue.  It was born out of a thing that kept happening during Desert Bus.  Oh, I should probably explain that too.  It's an annual charity fundraiser event which...   Actually, no, they've done that for me.

 

Anyhow, LRR are funny Canadians who make a lot of clever stuff which I like.

Hi CO friend! I'm glad I renewed mine right before they changed the IDs. I've had a CO ID since i was 15. I get local discounts in Eagle County with mine too.

Cortez?  Edward Abbey called it the shithead capital of dipshit county, CO, but I like it.  It's much improved these days, and even looking a little prosperous the last time I visited.  Hoping to spend summers/fall there since I'm now retired.

I wish that Judy Blume had written some books on troubled teens so we would be spared all of these "anonymous diaries" with their dubious information. As I recall, all of Blume's protagonists were angsty, but  good kids, except for one book (whose name escapes me) that had a boy getting involved with minor delinquency. However, Blume's intent was to write well-written books about "regular kids," not scared straight morality tales about worst case scenarios.

https://www.brainpickings.org/2014/05/21/judy-blume-letters-2/

She did publish a book of letters kids had written her asking about things she had written about, like masterbation and sexuality.

There is an unintentionally hilarious film version of Go Ask Alice on youtube.  It reminds me of that also unintentionally hilarious After School Special where Helen Hunt tries angel dust and then freaks out and flies out the window.  

Go Ask Alice

Helen Hunt on angel dust  (note that the teacher/counselor is none other than the woman who played the daughter in Mommie Dearest)

I have never seen the Helen Hunt on angel dust clip before LMAO.

People in Cortez pronounced it Pee-eb-lo, back in the day.  As in, "Oh, he got sent over to that place in Pee-eb-lo" meaning someone was sent to the state mental hospital.  Don't know anything about Pueblo, except it has a nice mountain bike trail out by the lake.  Seems like you could make some nice weekend escapes into the mountains from there.....

OH-EM-GEE, I love QWERPLINE.   "It's 98% humidity and God willing, it will stay that way for the next 7 days!  You'll be happier than a pig in the sauna!"

"98% is way up there on the Swamp-o-meter,  which means it's ideal conditions for swamp rash!"  

We have months on end like that in Texas.
