[quote]JamieinNC (19/06/2011)[hr]Yeah I probably wouldn’t have been a mod, as they were 10x more psychotic than the rockers ever were. I mean, for Pete’s sake, look at Keith Moon!

Haha it might not be AS funny out of context, but when I talk about the Mod, Rockers and even the Rave scene I always have to mention the LSD and the Ecstasy and the effects of each on the user. Of course, I can honestly say I had ONE drug experience with pot, and I realized drugs were not for me. Haha…
So I can’t speak from experience, but in class, I usually quickly follow up my explanation of the drugs with “Of course, we here at XXX institution of higher education do not suggest that you rush right out and TRY these drugs for your own homework assignments…” As sort of a disclaimer. The students always get a kick out of that. It’s sort of my shtick as a comedic personality at the front of the room…
You just reminded me of that slen…

Hah! No, those confessions would be if I were talking about my dad’s lakehouse up in the Adirondacks. Many more trees and places to hide, and not nearly as many sand fleas. Although the mosquitos can be the size of small birds…
