Creative Distopia

You know the one--you're forced to be creative and then Big Brother and Mustapha Mond give you a hard time for getting out of place.

I just have to put up counter-threads to thread titles that annoy me.

And Rob doesn't even think I'm evil.

Vile, however. . .

Is it just me, or is creative distopia a good theme camp name?

All I know is that it's probably a bad thread for me to hide out in after sassing the firelf in his own thread. I'm going to the bar.

Ahem...

Distopia? Would that be the opposite of Deuterium?

I knew we saw Fire Elf before.

Giving bad advice. But at last (s)he made sense at that point. Maybe one too many revelatory experiences?

i recognized there was something about this subculture that was affecting people like miracle grow...

Miracle-Grow All-Purpose Plant Food Contains 15% total Nitrogen; 30% available Phosphate; 15% soluble Potash; and minor amounts of Boron, Copper, Iron, Manganese, Molybdenum, and Zinc.

The Scotts Company, headquartered in Ohio for over 131 years, is the world’s leader in do-it-yourself lawn and garden consumer products, with a full range of products for professional horticulture as well.

Our brands give beginning and expert gardeners all they need to create thick, green lawns, beautiful outdoor and indoor gardens, and delicious vegetables and fruits, as well as to keep their homes safe and sound from pests.

Our family of trusted brands includes Scotts, Miracle-Gro and Ortho, as well as specialty brands Osmocote, Hyponex and Earthgro. We are also the exclusive worldwide marketing agent for the consumer Roundup brand, owned by Monsanto, and we also offer products for professional horticulture.

Ha! I knew there was a Monsanto connection. I see your relavatory experiences, Rian, and I'll raise you unholy transgenic breeding.

my first forray was into the party scene...that was where my evolution had occured...so i dove in...but my experimenting with drugs to permanently shift perspectives was unsuccesful...the drug experience broke open the thought structures and allowed for wider vistas of perception, but this wasnt the permanent shift that i had experienced...and these vistas dissapeared like so many shadows once the drugs had run their course...

serendipity is my provider...it is thru the gracious hands of someone willing to make themselves a conduit for serrendipity that i will obtain a ticket for burning man...

whether or not your ticket ends up with me, thank you for being an instigator for serrendipity to flow through...

So did anyone gift him a ticket? And can I hire Rob the Wop to make that person's life a living hell?

Too many morning glory seeds for breakfast.

if there's one good thing on that thread, it's this:

Too many morning glory seeds for breakfast.

That's been my take on it

and:

# Individuals currently in the midst of emotional or psychological upheaval in their everyday lives should be careful about choosing to use psychedelics such as Morning Glory seeds as they can trigger even more difficulty.

# Individuals with a family history of schizophrenia or early onset mental illness should be extremely careful as psychedelics have been known to trigger latent psychological and mental problems.

For you fishie, its free. I've actually starting having evil thoughts once I read this.

Hhhmmmm...

What if I were to make interested motions in said person's world of psychodelic expertise? Then 'find' a "research article" (convincing, of course) suggesting that several ingrediants in, say ivory soap, would make a powerful hallucinagen. Think I could convince them to start licking soap bars?

The possibilities are endless...

Never underestimate the gullibility of a soul-searching shroomhead.

Hey, sometimes licking strange things work. On one of my parent's trips to Oz, about 15 years ago, they came across some kids chasing frogs. My parents, being practical folks, figured that they were trying to catch them to eat (the kids looking 'sorry'). While my mother helped chase frogs my father was dug through his pockets for money to give them (to buy something to go with their frogs). After the kids had captured three or four frogs they gave it up and my mother asked them how they were going to cook them. They replied, 'Not gonna eat'em mate; gonna lick 'em'. My parents remained totally bemused until an Aussie friend told them about cane toads.

Memo: to my parents in their 70's kid would be anyone from 15 to 40 and my father reported that he was so startled that he gave the 'rattiest young girl' $20 US.

Make an interesting formula and they will consume it....

Back in my youth, someone mentioned that blue lupines had strychnine in them, so a friend and I spent an afternoon on a hillside consuming them, knowing that anything that had strychnine in it would get you high....

Nope...

Did people actually try and smoke banana peels as "Mellow Yellow"? Or urban myth?

Yes they did, because of the rumors that it would get you high. Like I said, give them a formula and they will consume it...
