High or Drunk: YOU DECIDE!

Read it "Weenies" and then Rage Against The Machine:

Yo, my alcoholic brothers and sisters, your watering hole is about to shutter its doors soon, so drink up, you weed hating yuppies! Drown those sorrows of fucking up your code writing and passing it off as some new form of art grunge. Face it, you're a weenie if you need to face the day with a Martini (plus one for your pet monkey friend(s), and start smoking as much weed as humanly possible. Seattle needs more THC and less alcohol to keep our local government officials from killing this sleepy fishing village (remember: Free Ballard!), and turning it into some lame cousin to Boston, minus the blue-bloods and landed aristocracy.


Great article about the Zeitgeist of modern day Seattle...home of the Velvet Foam, expensive condos, and a culture of youth who consider anything with a ball played on a field or in a stadium, "art." Yes, that's you, you Martini mamby pambies. Rage against the machine, don't sit at your desk at Amazon and think you're a genius for figuring out a way to take out Barnes and Noble. Turn on, tune in and drop out. Uh, huh! I'm talkin' Timothy Leary here, a real intellectual who was a tenured Harvard professor who would never lower himself to a two Martini high. Go deeper, man! Don't aim for the floor (you inebriated fools) aim for the sky, as Seattle's own Jimi Hendrix implored. That takes an expanded mind, one that is educated, and appropriately filled with any manner of drugs that help you see, you can't make it out of this life alive. Swing for the fences. Roll a fat one, kick back, and turn up Soundgarden's "Outshined" (not "moonshined") to ten, and buck the lemming trend. Free your mind, and your sorry ass will follow.

FACT: There used to be a thriving LSD culture from sea to shining sea.

And now, thanks to these code slinging bearded consumrdroids high on artesianal C2H5OH, the youth of our fair lands no longer reach for the cosmos, but instead drag their wasted root chakras through the muddy (depleted) topsoil of using dollars to purchase enlightenment in the form of skinny jeans, old fashioned pickles, and apps for their phones.

Jimi would be bummed. So would Tim.

"Outshined" ("not moonshined") = laugh attack!

Sounds like a cop who's going to miss busting people for petty bullshit.

But was the cop a "he" or "she"?

First one to open a "private" weed bar (like those hookah bars) on Capitol Hill becomes a billionaire. Why hasn't that happened yet?
