Shock & Awe, Cowboy!
What a proud day for corporate cowboys everywhere. I wonder if they were flying w/ Kenny and GW when the pilots flew too high.
Paris, cuz she's a Corporate Cowgrrrl.
More proof arrives today that we should have befriended the folks at Broadcom in the early part of this decade. Broadcom co-founder and former CEO Henry Nicholas has been indicted on charges unsealed today of illegal stock-option backdating, which resulted in the largest financial restatement (a write down of $2.2bn in profits …
That huge sometimes puke inducing rush makes me doubt the effectiveness of any spiked drinks, honestly I think they would be frightened out of their minds by the experience. I think the government is going to have an unpleasant experience with this one it sounds like bullshit to me.
It would probably swing the sale every time :)
Well that's an idea isn't it. If the amounts were kept low, and the XTC was relatively pure, the rushing shouldn't happen.
Though, was he playing deep jungle techno house in the background, and did hedon a pair of white luminous gloves, then hand out the glo sticks smeared with vics vapour rub, whilst saying 'Eat 'Em Up Yum Yum'; that would have been the give away.
Spiking a drink with XTC needn't involve a dose so high as to be obvious. Just a little is enough for commercial ends, just enough to slightly loosen your inhibitions and cause you to think "gee, that guy next to me is s-u-c-h a warm, friendly, caring human, I think I'll buy chips from him."
Heart in honor of the love drug
"One incident alleges Nicholas and others smoked so much marijuana during a flight on his private plane between Orange County and Las Vegas that the pilot had to put on an oxygen mask."
Pilot: Jesus, who top loaded this sonofabitch? I feel like I'm gonna throw a whitey, I need some oxygen.
Passengers: Wussy!!
Pilot: Aah, that's better. Better skin up another I spose, then off to check on the autopilot.
Clearly some people have never had their drinks spiked!
I only realised that many years ago I had some E put in a drink wihtout me realising when, years later, I tried it for the 'first' time and realised that I had those warm fuzzy feelings before.
Mind you, the tooth grinding and manic, inane chattering [and noted obsession with random objects] means that I didn't do it again.
That, and the fact that I woke up in the secure car park of a pharmaceuticals company with no idea how I got there. The security guards weren't sure either. They just kindly asked me to leave.
Has to be said [and getting back on topic] what sort of idiot writes invoices for gear? Any fool know that when dabbling in illegal stuff, a paper trail of any kind is a bad, bad thing.

The invoices thing sounds believable to me. In the fashion industry it's standard procedure to put drug costs down as money spent on "flowers for the model". I guess the tax man could ask to see receipts, but the assumption is that money supposedly spent on food, drink and flowers is too trivial to care about.
"One incident alleges Nicholas and others smoked so much marijuana during a flight on his private plane between Orange County and Las Vegas that the pilot had to put on an oxygen mask."
Why drink and drive, when you can smoke and fly? I had never seen someone actually *doing* that!
Dunno how they make E over in the states, but I don't recall ever having been obsession with any objects here in the UK apart from those attached to female clubbers...
The most classic side effect I will always remember is an uncontrollable urge to move in time with any rhythmic sound - a bunch of us found ourselves in a friends kitchen 'the morning after' making 'come-down tea' ... and realised we were all bopping to the same rapid but unheard beat. The beat turned out to be the almost subliminal ticking of the clock on the stove!
