Duty-free at both ends -- 3/19
« on: March 20, 2004, 01:52:07 am »
How did Ray already memorize this month's Playboy Advisor? Motivation. The cat has his priorities.

But for me, this strip was all about Philippe's eyebrows, and his concentration on being interested--good atrributes for a presidential candidate.

(By coincidence, I was listening to the 1958 Berlin production of Die Dreigroschenoper (with Lotte Lenya), "The Ballad of Sexual Dependency", to be exact, when I punched this up. )

There's Ray, neatly corrupting the young as always. Rock on, Ray.

Yeah, Philippe is really concentrating on the legs. I'm waiting to see how coherent Ray is after he drinks all those.

Nineteen years ago this June, I rode on a train out of Frankfort am Main with my friend Craig Kraus.  Neither of us, however, had memorized that month's Playboy Advisor (which would probably have been about Members Only jackets or Vuarnets).

He gets with ladies, too. But in the end, For My Man mixtapes notwithstanding, they do not like him.

I nearly had a hell hat brought home for me when my mom went to Bavaria the other month. I decided against in the end!

Is duty-free shopping really that great a deal?  Every time I check it out, I am not blown away by the prices, so I don't buy any booze.  But I buy Toblerone bars anyway.

Yeah, duty free is a scam.  There is no tax, but the stuff is priced double.

I guess duty free is for people who don't mind paying more, just don't won't the government to get any of it.

Depends if you live in a country where you get gouged for 17.5% VAT and tax on alcohol and cigarettes drives prices through the roof.
That's why I quit smoking (this time). Because 20 cost me £5. That's like fuck*ng 50cents a cigarette with current exchange rates.

That's why I quit smoking pot.  When it got to $25 dollars for a quarter of an ounce I said to hell with it.

Hearing people reminesce about the olden days when pot was cheap always seems like the Saddest Thing, until I also remember the fables I've heard about what poor quality it was then...

It's no fable.  Today's weed is a total skull fucker over the dope of yesteryear.  Something like a factor of 10 in potency.
