36. Nah, I went through the 80s

and people around me got overly bright and voluble, the usually inarticulate getting very chatty. It's a pity the shit only lasted such a short period, it actually improved some shy people.

I say that as someone who didn't get the point of the stuff, 20 minutes of feeling like an 8 year old on Xmas Eve followed by 3 days of having one's sinuses feel like they were stuffed with rusty Brillo pads. Ugh. Y'all can have my share.

I'd much rather deal with people who are coked up than drunks. Unfortunately, most cokeheads did both.

I don't think TFG is coked up these days. I just think he's a blustering blowhard who's lost the ;plot.
