43. Or totally blowing me away...

Sat May 18, 2013, 12:26 PM

May 2013

Late 70s on that one, I think.

But I was born in the mid-50s so I know some even older ones! Why're you tripping or this is a bad trip, man. Not to mention calling Pot Dope.

When I was in 7th grade, I tried to get everyone to say something was "Solar" to mean cool. Needless to say, it didn't take. But WTF did I know, I was a stupid 12year old.

Nice to know something's never change!
