I didn't take a lot of drugs but being a spotty teenager with hormones raging, I do remember an awful lot of self pleasuring going on.

Oh that rocks! lol

And Baldjean, aren't those the poisonous ones that you are not supposed to do? or is there another red and white one that you are supposed to dodge?

they surely are poisonous when taken to much of, that's why you are being told to dodge them. but they are the ones which contain the strongest natural hallucinogenic. they are used by Kirgisian and Usbekian shamans who drink the pee of reindeers (who eat these mushrooms. their metabolism is not affected by the hallucinogenic for some reason, and their pee contans muscarin, which is the active agent in the mushroom). William Hurt uses them in the movie "Altered States", when he goes on his "trip".

the scientific name for them is "amanita muscaria". they belong into the same family as the infamos death-cap ("amanita phalloides"). most mushrooms of the amanita family are more or less poisonous, only "amanita rubescens", also known as "the blusher" ("Perlpilz" in German), is edible

I was going to suggest you should have taken yourself in hand, but you might have got the wrong end of the stick......Wink

Wow, that's creepy. That's just me. Except I don't usually become nervous around females...too often...

And I don't do drugs.

For me Prog is more connected with Tea and Incens, just listening to music in a nice relaxed athmosphere with friends. In the 80's I played in a band and we smoked dope non-stop, we played for hours on a simple rhythm,  a simple bass line and some chords through an Echo device. When I listened back to what we taped,most of the stuff was boring, but it was fun to play. Sunday I saw Nils Peter Molvaer in concert and his music made me kind of nostalgic for dope. I got me an Ice Cream cone instead, works just as fine.

Nothing is better than a nice toke of the good ol' smack, of course, except for a delicous fresh ice cream cone. Now that is the thing.
