Yes this is a cross-post from GAF. No I don't care I am watching motherfucking National Lampoons Vacation you tits.
As some people have probably noticed, I havenm't been as active the past week. This is because I have returned to my sorta home in PA in order to visit my mom since I moved away in 2004. To make up for being a dick about visiting in a timely manner, I have decided to stay for 2 weeks. I am now almost at the one week point.
My mom lives in the middle of nowhere in PA. I live within about 20 miles of Pottsville, best known for shitty lager Yuengling. Despite this fact, the last store that sells 6 packs and other beer in my small town closes at 8PM. And no, I'm not going into any of the scary bars. They tie my people to the backs of trucks around here.
Also, I don't drive, so I am pretty much completely stuck in this hellish, awful town. Electricity was out for about 3 hours today. My mom has DSL, but no wifi, and her sick, twisted ISP forces her to use Netscape. NETSCAPE! Have you people seen Netscape lately? It's like Firefox was born with extra chromosomes, and it's PISSED.
Anyway, due to the lack of beer avaialble during prime drinking time, I have sought solace in friendly arms, some of them have been hiding in the cupboards since before I moved. Yes, my friends, meet my Over the Counter Saviours:

This is some Ghetto NyQuil. It gets the job done. I just put down the last two fingers of this bottle and I was a-thirstin' for more. Luckily, under the sink in my old bathroom, I found a, well, elderly cousin:

The elderly cousin being the lovely jar on the left. This bottle is clearly old. As in years old. The syrup was thicker than the fresher offering in the first picture, but it seemed to pack the necessary kick. It is worth noting that, yes, the color has just about completely faded from the label. No, that did not prevent me from finishing the bottle. Also in this family photo, you can see a box of NyQuil gelcaps that I finished off tonite. I had that box for three days and I think it had 20 pills in it. I have procured 4 more from another bathroom.
You can also see a box of DayQuil there. This is of note to me because:

It is one of the older boxes of the crystal meth kind of DayQuil. They don't sell this in many places in WA anymore, and I'm not sure if they still plan on even manufacturing it on a nationwide scale for much longer. While procuring supplies earlier this week, I noticed they only had the non-methy variety.
Either way, I am in hell and I am praying for a quick death. They don't even have Olde English here. I just want to go back to Bellevue :(

Don't give me your moralizing. I feel like I am all philosophy right now

haha, oh man. I abuse benadryl and dramamine on a weekly, if not daily basis. So much so that I went to the doctor because my side was hurting, and I was perma tired. He basically just looked at me and said, "Yeah... stop doing that, now."
-
You can always come over and spend Christmas with me

HAHA, hang in there.

LOL who is moralizing. I have downed countless bottles of nyquil over the last few months.

One time in high school, my friend Tom took a whole one of those tube-y packs of dramamine and went to a party. He had a vocal conversation with me there. I was shocked to hear this from other attendees at the party because I was not actually at that particular celebration that night.

I have probably consumed your body weight in cold medicine several times over.

The most I ever did at once was eight before going to see Starwars Episode 3 in college. Never going to do that again... ever. Holy God. I think I got lost in my seat.
Yeah I only stick to two or three, maybe four if I can't sleep at all. Now I have some uber sleeping aides.

One of my best friends abused Nyquil. I've done that shit a few times, I think we drank two bottles to go "roboing." It's one of the worst things I've ever done to my body and it was responsible for the only bad trip I've ever had. He ended up getting bromide poisoning and itching all over his body for months. I'm not even sure the active ingredient that we tripped off of is still in cold medicine. Nyquil got rid of it back in the day, we had to use the Walmart brand if I recall correctly. Still to this day it's hard to drink cough syrup.

I pretty much have a sleeping disorder, I can't sleep until I'm really really tired...so I use to try all that shit. I drank a 1/2 a bottle of Nyquil once, and felt almost nothing.
BUT
I found the cure! Benadryl! 3 spoonfulls knocks me the fuck out.
-
Benedryl is awesome.
-
The first time I did cough syrup was when I was waiting in a line at Walmart for a PS3 on launch day. It was maybe the most hilarious time of my life. It was like a drunk trip with the most ridiculous people on earth.

You're out in the middle of Pennsyltucky, for sure. Pittsburgh's suburbs aren't that much more exciting, but there are certainly less hicks, assholes, and generally strange people.
-
So where are you exactly Whitey?
-
Girardville. ~1 hour south of Scranton, maybe a little more or less, I forget.
-
It's all the same out there, haha.

Scranton

Will Ferall lives thers. oh the distinguished mentally-challenged fellow on the office/nanchorman.

I must be fairly close to that town, and I haven't ever heard of it. I live right in Wilkes-Barre, which is like 15 minutes south of Scranton.
And Will Ferrel doesn't live in Scranton. WTF.

I'm just down a number of exits on 81. I have no idea exactly which exit since they changed the names and numbers a few years back.

You really aren't all that far down at all.
