Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Just remind yourself going in that instead of seeing a cheesy '30s serial, you are seeing a cheesy '50s drive-in movie, and you'll be all set.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

From a PR perspective, if you were high enough that you can't remember what substances you took to get there, does it really matter whether or not it was cocaine?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Do you suppose it's possible to not be able to remember cocaine use?

In a black out? I don't see why not.

Right.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well, if he was just drunk then he didn't do anything illegal.

Still, it's an odd defense.

"Mr. President - is it true you did cocaine in your past?"

"Dude, I was so wasted back then I can't remember."

eta: wtf? This post disappeared.

Huh. My post #9362 disappeared.

eta: Ah. Entering a new post brought it back. Weird.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Actually for a few decades now "I don't remember" and "Even though I was in charge, I had no idea what was going on" have been considered perfectly legitimate excuses, at least from a PR perspective. I was so happy when Ken Lay and Whazzizface were finally held accountable in court despite using the "I had no idea" plea.

You know, theoretically, I don't care if the current president was a drunk or a cokehead or whatever 20+ years ago, as long as he (or she) isn't right now.

With Bush, it's the bullshit that comes with it, like his line about doing bad things in his "youth" when he was like 40, that make me mad.

Dudes! I have 8 more years in which to do bad things!! And then I might have to grow up, but only if I intend to go into politics.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I don't care about the past use either ( see our current govenor) it's the stupid lying and memory loss and position of moral superiority that so many damn politicians take. drug use, affairs, sniper fire, C'MON!
