  1. It's quite common on Phangan Island, also.

     

    200B a balloon, same as in Phi Phi

     

     Makes your head feel a little light and dizzy, basically a headache for a few seconds; hardly worth 6 dollars for 4 or 5 hits.

     

    We were doing that stuff in the 80's, they were called "whippits" back then....you can also get the same effect from sucking on the top of a whipped cream canister before the cream comes out.

  2. My two favorite characters on the Wire, String and McNulty.

     

    Had no idea they were Brits either.

     

     

     

      Kilome first told me that, I also had no clue.  Same as DC I watched that series twice through - the only other time I've done that is for Breaking Bad - and same as PD I didn't care for the dock workers season.

     

    Idris Elba played a very good role as Mumbles in RockNRolla, a movie well worth seeing and set in London so he could speak in his usual accent.  Gerald Butler has the lead.

     

    Thandie Newton makes it even more worth watching, highly recommended.

  3.   The safest drug to do?  Magic Mushrooms, something I've known for 35 years.

     

    The most dangerous?  Not surprising in the least.

     

    Oh, and tobacco at number 6; and yet you can buy them both at the corner store.

  4. I will try it - but while I know the Colbert Report was a pure act, it still got annoying after a while.

     

    I am hoping as himself his new show will be better, but man he has an uphill climb against Fallon and Kimmel, especially after the show takes 5 months off!

  5. Just part of the reason it's so good to live in New England - weather and cost of living surely weren't properly figured in, but it sure is safe!

     

    All 6 N.E. states made it into the top 10.....oh, and we don't allow people to walk around airports or the local WalMart with an assault weapon; could that be part of the reason we are the safest?

  6. When I was in Dublin I saw a T-shirt which had 4 segments, representing the 4 seasons of Ireland and marked Sprin, Summer, Fall and Winter.

     

    All of them were the same, with a sheep holding an umbrella in the rain.

  7. I liked The Sopranos, but for me it wasn't even in my top 5.  I thought Chris was super-annoying, but I loved the part of Tony played by James Gandolfini {R.I.P}.  Very good show though.

     

    I much preferred; Breaking Bad, Shameless {Chicago, still running}, The Wire, even a lot of the Law and Order seasons. I thought for the time Hill Street Blues was utterly fantastic; if we were having this debate in 1984 or so it would easily be my number 1.

     

    Right now I am really into The Newsroom, surprised I didn't try it sooner!

  8. Keep in mind.....that person with the extremely weird hair and who uses a twitter account to bash people he doesn't like, comedians like Jon Stewart, says he wants to be our next president.

     

    And we're not supposed to laugh at him, riiiiiggggghhhhht.

  9. I've always like Dunkin Donuts. And loathe Crispy Creme.  CC has a cult follwing but too sweet for me.

     

    I'm not a fan of Fourbucks coffee or their prices.  Too bitter.

     

      Proud to say to this day I have never had a cup of coffee; ever.

     

    Tried a few sips way back when, it's just not my thing. Don't like the taste, same same whether it's iced coffee or coffee ice cream.

     

    Probably better off; I see the lines at the Dunkin's just about every day, the addicts backed up 12 or 15 cars deep waiting for their fix. No need to start one more habit.

  10. The percentage of people in certain regions of these countries who consider themselves "Very Happy."

     

    Looks like our English and Scottish friends have a lot to be thankful for!

     

    And what's up with Sicily and Sardinia, they just can't get their shit together?
