Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
It totally is Kat. Most of the fairy tales are quite brutal. They make Franny cry.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
WTF? You married a Greek philosopher?! Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Bob Bob?
Hey, Bon, I've been meaning to ask how the budget cuts have been effecting Bob bob.... is he doing okay?
Half Greek. I guess he's also the natural heir to Spinoza and Berkeley? Kat, I think we'll be fine (if poorer), although next year he may have to go 4/4.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
My one regret is that I never tried E.
One of two Schedule 1 drugs I have tried. This makes me practically a goody two-shoes in my local community.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Of all recreational drugs that are illegal for any age group, I've occasionally had a drink. Never been over the limit either. Dance me with seven of your friends, for truly I am a square.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My high school was more about alcohol than drugs. I was too straight-edge for any of it (see also: had no real friends!) but the big thing I remember people doing was sneaking Zima into sports events by pouring it into plastic seltzer bottles. Yes, we were that preppy.

I love coming in to discover a serious bug in the software.
OK, time for a meeting now. Joy.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Poll time - now that we're all familiar with whip-its, did *anyone* call them "ethyl cans" back in HS? (is convinced Cory Branan made it up)
I never did whip-its, but I certainly knew of them. Alcohol and pot were the drugs of choice at my HS, AFAIK. I've had E once, and it was lovely, except for the part where I totally overheated, was instantly drenched in sweat (feet slipping in shoes sweaty), and nearly got sick. But that was only about a half hour of the whole night, and even the next day I had a sort of lovely afterglow. Dancing while on E is really that awesome, and that's from somebody gets high on dancing anyway.

Because books.
They were always whip-its in our school, smonster.
Alcohol was the easiest to get, and thus the most abused, but there was plenty of pot and also a lot of coke in my high school. (Remember, I graduated in 1985.) We were also 25 miles from NYC and had a lot of ways to get our hands on stuff. I actually remember the place next to the McDonald's off Sixth Avenue in the Village where people used to get the whip-its.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
The only time I've ever done recreational drugs other than alcohol was when I attended a Grateful Dead concert and got a mild buzz and sore throat from all the secondhand joint smoke.
It did NOT mellow me out, as I recall being ready to throw down with the grinning halfwits who thought it'd be fun to get it on in one of two available stalls when there was a huge line for the men's room.
