we're gonna make 'em eat our shit, then shit out our shit, then eat their shit which is made up of our shit that we made 'em eat.

Fuck. I just deleted a post by accident, so I'm just going to post this one out of spite.

The jist of it was that I still highly recommend that everyone try mushrooms, but I think I did a poor job of explaining why. The bottom line is that they will teach you something.

As our buddy Socrates said

"I do nothing but go about persuading you all, old and young alike, not to take thought for your persons or your properties, but and chiefly to care about the greatest improvement of the soul. This is my teaching, and if this is the doctrine which corrupts the youth, I am a mischievous person."

and if you don't think it was a life changing experience, well, here I am still talking about it

by the way, if people feel that this is an inappropriate forum for non what-I'm-up-to-these-days type posts tell me, but I'd love to see some more random thoughts, or discussions, or maybe I'm the only one with too much time on my hands :)
