you wicked, wicked man. i have just been subjected to the humiliation of
having a full throttle laughing fit, complete with beverage up nose and
gasping breaths, in a computer lab full of foreign exchange students
tapping away missiles of love to their friends back home. the poor things
didn't know what to do as my feverish laughter became so overwhelmingly
uncontollable that i started to choke.

snorting coke.
