Drugs Are Bad

In the sage words of Dwight K. Schrute, "I wouldn't waste your time, and I wouldn't dare waste mine." So we're going to jump right in to this.

Driving to work this morning (see: 'Sitting In a Car for An Hour and a Half') I was listening to some radio show talking about Kurt Cobain. Now it's bad enough that he's still being talked about, what, 10 years post-mortem (note to reader [Hi Liv!] it's actually been 16 years, but really, who cares) anyway, they were discussing how Cobain 'self-medicated' with heroin because of his 'stomach pains' up until his death.

Now, don't get me wrong. I don't claim to know the full medicinal value of uncut Mongolian black-tar heroin, but I'm going to take a gander and say that it's not an approved perscription by MediCare. Also, if we apply a little translation, we find that 'self-medicating' becomes 'getting your next fix' and that 'stomach pain' is actually a loose cognate of 'being a typical junkie withdrawing from an opioid' (alternativly, 'trying to make your dead idol seem less like a crack head') [from Mirriam-Webster, 1853]

Call 'em as I see 'em I always says.
