    What has happened to us guys?

    The place is a mess, we all seem more concerned with taking legal highs, guys, than actually getting this wee country up on its feet again.

    Ten years ago we were all about innovation, innovation and innovation. Now look at us, I think even our european neigbours have had enough.

    Come on guys, lets get it together.

    Well I've found that a small amount of Snow goes a lot further when mixed with baking soda before snorting. Does that count as innovation? It took a lot of trial and error to figure it out.

    We're all about inebriation, inebriation, inebriation.

    Exactly! Whatever happened to us here on AH? I remember when threads here used to have intriguing & inventive titles that just screamed "Click on me" (open leading to subsequent disappointment, but that's not the point). Now they have titles like "Us". :rolleyes: Actually I'm surprised at myself for opening this thread, let alone posting even more crap in it.

    I have to go now and blow my own head of with a shotgun in order to alleviate my self-disgust at contributing to this farce. :mad:
