"I'm hella pissed, dude" It's the little things that make a good craigslist rant. And a bit slice of Northern California slang really did it for me.→[More:]

Question: Why does the "Post Preview" date say "01 January 2000"? It freaked me out for a second.

Crackheads don't wanna be caught by cops with drug paraphernalia on them, that's why Crackhead doesn't own a crackpipe, DUDE!

Other than that, awesome rant.

Because we think whatever you post is going to shake our world.

Okay, that was dirty lie. The real answer is that 010100 commemorates the Great Robotic Machinery Rebellion.

Not. Actually, 010100 is binary for "20", and in CB Ten-code, "20" is place or location, and we use it because metachat is our little place.

No. Really, I don't actually know. Seanyboy? Dodgy? Crackhead?

This is why I only buy my crack from dealers that'll toss in a free pipe. Don't want the ratchet again.

I enjoyed that, and sent it to my moto-friends.

Cool! Now I know how to make a porcelain crack pipe out of a spark plug!

lol!

What I don't get is that you can buy a spark plug for $2. If you've got money to buy crack, can't you afford a spark plug? And isn't buying one easier than trying to steal one in the dead of night? And if you're going to steal one, you either need some sort of heavy duty saw or a spark plug wrench, both of which cost a helluva lot more than a spark plug. So why not buy the damn spark plug, Crackhead??

He is an engineer and did not find out whether Metric or SAE sockets fit his motorcycle before ordering a set?

It's one of those give-a-man-a-fish things, pup. Sure, a spark plug wrench is more expensive than a spark plug. But once I've got a spark plug wrench, I can get all the spark plugs I want, for free.

you just don't understand, mudpuppie.

I had the exact same thoughts as everyone in this thread, by the way. Especially the fact that "the engineer" didn't check to see if his plugs were standard or metric.

But one mustn't forget the possible/likely ratchet-whoopin' mulacc has referred to. One ratchet-whoopin' can immobilize crackhead for several days, thus rendering that initial economy less than optimal.

Ah, the things I learn at Metachat. Now all I need is a source for crack.

posted by deborah 19 December | 18:15

Ah yes, taz, but the crack will take the pain away, thus nullifying the ratchet-whuppin'. As a bonus, if said crackhead is really hopped up, he/she may be able to wrassle the ratchet from the whupper, thus opening up the possibility of a limitless supply of spark plugs, maybe even enough to sell to friends or give away as xmas gifts!

Hm. *strokes chin*

Allow me some time to analyze this affront to my whole crackhead/sparkplug/ratchet/ass-whuppin model.

posted by taz 19 December | 18:54

I wonder if any crackhead has ever gotten charged with sparkplugs as paraphernalia.

posted by Hellbient 19 December | 23:24

A friend of mine who was determined to try every single psychoactive substance under the sun once described crack as "stepping on stage in the role of Hamlet at the Royal Shakespeare Company and forgetting all your lines".

He's a stockbroker now. Fucker.

Which has nothing to do with this thread.
