Yesssss this is it.


The heroin thread was more like a slow spiral.
"i can totally just do it on weekends"

"well some days i just need it, not addicted"

"its cool that i didnt quit that time, now i have no tolerance!!!"

"my life is in shambles."


Phenazepam is like

"ok guys taking a nanogram"

That entire thread is good quotes:

quote:

Figured I'd follow up on this. Since I forget December 1st - December 4thish, here's the entire story.

I dosed 2.5mg on December 1st, and then went to work. I don't remember much else about this day, pretty sure nothing big happened.

Wednesday, 11:00am: I dose 6mg.

Wednesday, 11:40am: I leave my house in my work clothes, wearing no shoes.

Wednesday, 11:55am: I arrive at work, apparently after swerving all over the road and almost hitting a telephone pole near our local library.

The telephone pole is on the right side of the road, in-between the road and the library. According to a friend who witnessed me driving to work, he thought I was going to the library.

Wednesday, 12:00pm - 12:07pm: I apparently have not only fallen down, but passed out. The big cheese is at work currently, but from what I recall has said nothing to me. A lower manager asks me to go sit down because I am apparently hosed up. I, instead, walk out to my car and proceed to head home.

Wednesday, 12:13pm: According to the State Highway Patrol's report, I struck a deer and went off the right side of the road. I then took out a 10 foot tall advertisement sign, ramped my SUV (an Oldsmobile Bravada) up a dead tree, flipping it on its left side. I remember the car being sideways, and having a cracked windshield.

Wednesday, between 12:15 and 12:30pm: Someone helps me out my passenger door and sits me in their car until the squads arrive.

Wednesday, before nighttime: I call my work and tell them I got in a car accident, effectively freaking them out. I also threaten to kill my lesser manager for loving with my family (I have no clue how that even makes sense.) I am taken to [LOCAL HOSPITAL HERE], apparently complaining about stomach and elbow pains. Doctors fear internal injuries, and determine that I should be life-flighted to a bigger hospital. Bad weather prevents me from being flown, and I must be taken via ambulance to a bigger hospital.

Wednesday, during the transfer: Two paramedics administer 200mcg of Dilaudid to me, and I remember having a normal conversation with them, just not what it was about.

Wednesday, sometime between 3pm and 9pm, at [BIGGER HOSPITAL HERE]: I am admitted with bradycardia (HELLO OPIATES AND BENZOS) and vehicular injuries. Apparently my sister comes into my room, crying and screaming. I eject my family from my hospital room.

Thursday, 4:30pm: I am discharged from [BIGGER HOSPITAL HERE]. I remember not being able to lift my head, and being wheeled out of the hospital without moving any part of my body.

Friday, 1:00am: I consume 12 percocets (prescribed for pain) to try and kill myself.

Friday, 2:30am: I receive activated charcoal and get my stomach pumped.

Friday, 3:xxpm: I am threatened by the hospital's psych that if I don't take some Wellbutrin and Celexa (meds that I was previously on) that I would not be allowed to leave the hospital until the 72 hour observation period ended. I said, gently caress that poo poo and took them.

Friday, 6:30pm: I am discharged from [SMALLER HOSPITAL HERE].

All in all, my medical bills are something of $26,000 and my SUV is totaled. I blew the front two tires (THEY WERE LESS THAN ONE WEEK OLD ) I didn't break any bones, just a few bruises. No citation from the Highway Patrol, nobody else hurt, everybody's happy.

Basically it was the perfect storm of hosed up.
  • It was not explicitly illegal (not scheduled), so it was easy to get.

  • It's a benzo, so when you take it you don't think you are hosed up, and want to take more/do things you REALLY SHOULD NOT DO while on drugs (like 5 car crashes in that thread)

  • It was (relatively) cheap

  • It had an absurd biological half life (50+ hours)

  • and HUGE POINT it only came in powder form, and was active un half a milligram doses. Which is the size of a small grain of sand.

This culminated in a bunch of idiots thinking they could accurately eyeball the dose to take (eyeball a grain of sand sized dose), feeling like they were unaffected, taking a bunch more, and losing weeks to a blackout where they did ridiculous things.

TCC is the best and also the worst forum.

A perfect storm indeed. Oh, my goodness.

For those of you unfamiliar with grams as a unit of measurement, a single Skittle (you know, the little "Taste the Rainbow" candies?) is about a gram. A dose of this stuff was half a milligram. Take your Skittle and cut it into one thousand equal-sized pieces. Each piece is a milligram. Cut one of those in half and there's your .5 milligram dose.

Wasn't there a guy who thought that "eyeballing" a drug meant somehow absorbing a dose through the eyes, and asked how one could do this?

Yup, it's even quoted for posterity in the followup thread.

Just ordered. Can someone explain to me how this eyeballing is done? [...] No, do you use a solvent? Do you jam it under the eyelid? This isn’t really that obvious for someone who normally doesn’t take drugs with his eyeballs.

There was this GBS thread where some crazy man tried to sell everyone on his invention. It was sort of like the Timecube in that it made no sense whatsoever, but it was based on some "roman technology" and came as a docadehedron or something. I can't for the love of me find it but it was a big topic.

Don't you fear the yetis in Rio?
There was a thread couple years back where someone wrote little scripts from ideas people posted on the thread. The guy wrote a cool one where it was a scene from Les Miserables but as some kind of 70's exploitation movie. He wrote a scene where Valjean meets Cosette in a crack house/whore house. It then turns into a gunfight between Valjean and the pimp.

It was very well written and I think he posted it as a pdf somewhere.

I'm the fuckin' man
You don't get it, do ya?
I will give you my eternal love and gratitude if you find these two amazing threads for me:

The first one I'm looking for was a thread that was actually born in GBS but moved to PYF. it was a thread about shocking and disturbing things in general, and the thread was made in 2011. It featured poo poo like Samuel R. Delany's Hoggs, Faces of Death, Redwatch, Kevin Underwood, Guro, novels about serial killers writeen by actual serial killers, shock videos, death videos, the deep web, just shocking gross disturbing crap. It was like Rotten.com except in a single thread. This thread seems to have totally disappeared, and all I want to do is just read it again. I used the SA search for this thread but I just can't find it. It's not in the goldmine or the gaschamber, so possibly it was deleted? I just want to see it again. It was so sensationalistic.

The second thread was in Games. It was about cool obscure games goons have played or were playing. It was a rarely updated recommendation thread for these types of games. That thread introduced me to Silent Storm and (I think) The Operational Art of Warfare III. I seriously consider this thread to be some of the best SA has to offer. I got so many awesome games from that thread, I really want to check out what recommended games I missed/ignored.

Can anyone help me out with this one?

For extra schadenfreude look at the people in the beginning of the thread who point out what an obvious scam it is just to be shouted down by people who can't resist the allure of the mystery box. Also that they only punishment the guy got was his and his friend's accounts being permabanned because before goons could press charges the thread had to be locked to stave off all the internet detectiving and GOON JUSTICE.

Way back in the day there was a goon who's name I can't remember that bought up a shitload of NES mario brothers/duck hunt carts and turned then into a full body suit of armor and then posted pics of himself wearing it. Google is failing me and it's driving me crazy only being able to half remember how hilarious that picture was. Anyone?
