What all the hip-and-with-it kids are talking about

Now you know how to get what you need ‘on the street’. Just a rough survey shows many more cool names for Heroin than the rest of the drugs.

Just a few for the porchers-
Bill(ie Hoke) – Cocaine
Big Harry – Heroin
B(aby) T – Crack Cocaine
John(son) – Crack Cocaine
Doc(tor) – Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA)
Cin(namon) – Methamphetamine (yeah, I know it’s spelled wrong)
Trey – Small rock of crack cocaine or $3 bag of marajuana

Sorry, Becky. Nothing close

(Insert joke about GWB and drugs here. Such as “So this is from the White House’s Drug Czar. Finally something GWB knows something about”. GK was wrong: We’re all Democrats now)

Oh, and thanks to Reason for the link.

The Soap Opera of the ‘04 Tour begins

Big News. Jan Ullrich is heading back to Telekom (Will be T-Mobile as Deutsche Telekom tries to consolidate it’s various sub-entities).

What does this mean for our Shiner-Swilling hero? Essentially, a tougher time trying for win number 6. Bianchi put together a decent team for Ullrich this year, and he proved he’s dangerously close to taking LA down. Telekom is an order of magnitude up from Bianchi.

The only other cycling news worth noting (besides my continued laziness and neglect of my bike) is the upcoming announcement of the 2004 TDF route on the 23^rd^ of October.

Party On, Wayne.

But I want to take this occasion to extend an invitation.

I will be there on April 25, 2004, and if you would like to participate but need a place to stay in DC, you can stay at Casa SmiCollum.

Al Franken on PHC
Posted on October 21, 2003, by etrigan in Entertainment.

Prarie Home Companion gets a lot of flack for being un-cool, and the ultimate sign of my lack of taste may be that I listen to (and enjoy) PHC almost every week. This week was exceptionally good with Al Franken showing up on the show to plug his most recent book, Lies and the Lying Liars who Tell Them . Here’s a bit of the best part of the show:

Al Franken: I want to congratulate you, Garrison.

Garrison Keillor: Really?

AF: Well, on having not just a Republican radio show, but a drug-free Republican radio show. Evidently, it’s so hard to sustain a radio show…for this many years and keep it a drug free Republican radio show.
