Whitney Houston dead at 48

What a shame.  I wasn't a huge fan, but I can't deny that she was a true talent.

If you couldn't see this one coming...

Still, I was surprised (mightily) that she outlasted Michael Jackson.  God knows what her life has been like since she last surfaced in the public eye.  I'm thinking the one thing more powerful than stupidity is the penchant for self destruction.  (Not mutually exclusive).  She didn't seem like a stupid person to me, but that was a vicious downward spiral she was in.

@LieBot The saddest thing is that Newt Gingrich is still alive and Whitney Houston is dead.

For some reason I thought Whitney Houston had turned her shit around. Then again, I knew Michael was fucked up but I didn't realize he was on hoss tranquilizers.

Know what's 6 inches long and won't be getting sucked this Valentine's Day?

Whitney Houston's crackpipe.

Too soon?

It's never too soon for a tiny, refreshing can of Dr Pepper.

Surprisingly rough chuckles there. Remember, as Whitney said, crack is wack.

It's not too soon.  Is it wrong that I automatically thought "most crack pipes aren't that big?"  I've never smoked crack BTW, but I've worked in support of enough people who do smoke it and have harm reduction training in safer crack use, meaning I've handled crack pipes and taught people how to use them more safely.

I think we can all agree it doesn't matter how big your crack pipe is, it is how you use it.

Right?

It DOES matter how big your can of Dr. Pepper is.

Actually, the bigger it is the better I guess.  For safty sake the longer the pipe, the more the smoke will cool off and the less likely people are to burn their lips, mouth and lungs.  So no, in this case size does matter.  

That being said, most of the crack pipes I've seen are maybe three inches.  

Scary thing that people do:  instead of using pipe screens some folks use brillo pads or steel wool, which can't handle high heat and could have hella chemicals on them.  Even in the case of steel wool untreated with chemicals, heating it causes little bits to break off when smoked, and needless to say little bits of steel wool in the lungs can lead to serious health problems like lung infections, pnumonia and worse.  What I'm saying is if your gonna smoke crack, practice as much harm reduction as possible.  Also, don't do it alone in a bathroom not saying this is how Whitney died, but be safe.  Same goes for bennies really - don't take them and then be alone in enough water to drown you.

Yeah, I have a crack pipe I use for liquid hash and research chemicals, I understand. 

I use that shit right.
