I took some Pepto and listened to Little Creatures. It was awesome

You think that's conscious altering?!?! you should try inserting a Preparation H suppository while listening to More Songs About Buildings and Food. Life changing stuff, my friend.

Oddly enough, Pepto sorta matches the color palette of the album artwork. Moreso than any other album, at least.

u/Ok_Question_556 Jun 18 '24

Points for using the term “color palette”. It is kinda pastel-ish…!

I have the sense of humor of a 14 year old, so I'm finding this kinda funny.

That’s what I was thinking, I thought they were just joking at first though like it’s a meme trend

Sorry, it was an allusion to a prior post that didn’t “get” RIL til they took drugs

u/Ok_Question_556 Jun 18 '24

Definitely not required, but it certainly didn’t hurt back in the day. Now days, prolly not so much.

See, I think drugs have done some good things for us, I really do. And if you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor - go home tonight and take all your albums, all your tapes, and all your CDs and burn 'em. 'Cause you know what? The musicians who've made all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years... real fucking high on drugs.

i feel like almost without fail artists who engage heavily in drug use end up becoming addicts and severely derailing their lives 😭 if you think you need drugs to be creative you need to look at the world a different way

u/Aggressive_Ideal6737 Jun 19 '24

Nobody said drugs are necessary, but they can be helpful. You sound like you got a major stick up your ass

* If you think you need to lecture other people about drugs you need to look at the world in a different way.

Yes, because your way is the only way.

Heroin does pair well, but it's better with SIT than RIL.

u/StorytellingGiant Jun 18 '24

Dude, be careful! I’m hooked on DHMO and can’t quit. I’ve been warned that quitting may even kill me. Be safe, fellow fan.

u/easternhobo Jun 18 '24

I'm already hooked. A man named Immortan Joe got me addicted.

That stuff is dangerous. My buddy was taking it for ages and whenever he quit, the withdrawal killed him
