Hour of Slack 854 - Drunks 'n' Drugs & The Pink Boyz

Sometimes when I have a lot of new material, I break it up into
"themes" just as an arbitrary way of organizing the mass of sound
files. The theme in this case developed when Dr. Philo Drummond
unearthed some old tapes of The Pink Boyz, a rock band headed by the
late Dr. X, a brief and early co-sub-founder of the Church. Dr. X was
my best pal in high school. He died young of drugs -- mostly alcohol.
Hearing all his old songs made me wistful. Luckily the depressing
nature of the alcoholism theme is offset by the inanity of the
counterbalancing psychedelics theme.

When I listened to the Pink Boyz tapes for the first time on 20 years,
I realized something with a bit of a shock. I have always had a buddy
who was a tall skinny rock and roller with a band. And I am always
trying to tape his band.

The other night I was walking along the street with Prof. Chas Smith of
Einstein's Secret Outlaws, pumping my short little legs as fast as I
could, to keep up with his long legged gait, and it struck me how many
nights I had done that very thing alongside the equally scarecrowlike
Dr. X.

I realized that when Dr. X died, I had found another Dr. X, but one who
wasn't a drunk. I myself am a drunk and it's much more pleasant to be a
non-drinking drunk when your buddies aren't drunk. Or, rather, aren't
VERY drunk. Or rather, aren't the obnoxious and fucked up kind of
drunk.

It is possible to be a drunk, an alcoholic, and not be a jerk, but
instead be a fine SubGenius. There are plenty such folks. I have NO
PROBLEM with that; some of my best friends are thoughtful alcoholics
who manage to have their alcoholic act together. Then there are those
who become JERKS when they get drunk, or who gradually develop an
overall jerkishness through long term use. That's when a drunk just has
to say, "FUCK the Conspiracy, I'm going to live WITHOUT Con-endorsed
narcotics even if I must endure 19 hate-ons a day!"

Poultices of hemp might help with the hate-ons, allowing some to focus
the hate with laser-like intensity and turn it into a money-making
scheme.

Eating and sleeping sensibly is another dependable way to cop a buzz,
but you must also remember to shit, pee and awaken. Don't even TRY to
quit peeing. I attempted to quit peeing when I quit drinking. I was
never able to beat the demon of peeing, though, and to this day I am
still a peeer. I just... live with it. One flush at a time.

Use dialysis instead... and you can probably give up peepeeing
forever...

Personally, i'd rather live with my demon as it's just too much fun,
especially when one can rip loose a great big ol' funky fart as one is
in the process of urinating. It's such a sweet but innocent pleasure
of life...

end of line.
deadhorse out.

I know two guys who're dying of booze; one guy's been in and out of the
hospital with pneumonia and heart failure (he puffs up and then falls
over for a few days), prolly augmented by lotsa coke. He's a pretty
much just a jerk that I avoid, tho, and to him I say "don't let the
door hit yer ass on the way out."
The other guy, whom I've known for 25 years, has something like Wernicke-
Korsakoff syndrome, nasty semi-healing sores on his 'trunk', and he
hallucinates if he doesn't drink for a day (the side-effects of inheriting
money). He probably doesn't go more than four hours at a stretch without
drinking since he wakes up at night, has two or three shots, then goes
back to bed. But he still comes up with good one-liners, like "You don't
need The Onion to figure that out!"

->Poultices of hemp might help with the hate-ons, allowing some to focus

Like the CotSG?
