This is your face. This is your face on paint.
Looks like this guy has been sniffing gold paint. Anything important about that? Maybe he's into sniffing only high quality paints?
"sniffing gold paint"
I read or heard somewhere that the gold paint has the highest quanity of the chemicals that get you high and destroy the brain.
Among the sniffers, they believe the gold and silver paints are stronger, get them higher
Even when they're not so sloppy, you can see flecks like glitter around their mouths and nose
He looks like Cliff Robertson from the movie version of Flowers for Algernon, "Charlie".
Well, long ago I used to know a heavy duty alcoholic who progressed to acetone and ether. He lasted about a month on these.
Holy shiet! Well look at the bright side; That`s one less voter for Hillary.
Sterno is/was known as "Squeeze" Hardcore alkys would put the jelly in a cloth and squeeze the alcohol out.
Problem is, it's the poisonous variety
Lol.
Unavailable for comment...
I kind of think he looks like Jack Nicholson. well, it is very sad for him he has such a problem. Better he should drink beer.
In the literature, of course, it was worked out much better: ["Venedikt Erofeev, "Moskva-Petushki"]
"...To drink mere vodka, even from the bottleneck - there is nothing in it besides spiritual languor and vanity. To mix vodka and cologne - there is a certain caprice, but no pathos. But to drink a glass of "Canaan balsam" - there is a caprice, an idea, and pathos, and besides it, a metaphysical hint.
Which component of "Canaan balsam" do we appreciate above others? Of course, denatured alcohol. But the denatured alcohol, while being an object of inspiration, is by itself completely devoid of any inspiration whatsoever. What, then, do we most appreciate in the denatured alcohol? Of course, the naked taste sensation. And even above that the miasma that the denatured alcohol emanates. To attenuate that miasma, one needs at least a little flavor. For this reason to the denatured alcohol one adds in the ratio 1:2:1 some dark beer, best of all "Ostankino" or "Senator", and purified wood lacquer.
I will not remind you how to purify the wood lacquer - every baby knows it. Somehow nobody in Russia knows what Pushkin died from, but everyone knows how to purify the wood lacquer.
So, write down the recipe of "Canaan balsam". The life is given to man only once, and one should live it so as not to mistake the recipes (allusion to the official quotation):
Denatured alcohol 100 gms
Dark beer 200 gms
Purified wood lacquer 100 gms
And so, now you have "Canaan balsam" (people call it "brown-black bitch") - the liquid of brownish-black color, with moderate strength and strong aroma. It is not an aroma, it is an anthem. An anthem of democratic youth. Precisely so, because those who have drunk this cocktail become vulgar and overcome by dark forces. How many times I've observed it!
To avoid these dark forces, there are two ways: first, don't drink "Canaan balsam". And second, drink instead of it the "Geneva Spirit". It doesn't have a drop of nobility, but it has the flavor. You'll ask me: what is the secret of this flavor? I'll answer: I do not know. Then you'll think and ask: what's the answer to the riddle? And the answer is that the cologne "White Lilac", one of "Geneva Spirit" components, shall not be substituted by anything, neither by "Jasmine", nor by "Shipr", nor by "Silver Lily".
"There are no equivalents among the components" - as the old alchemists used to say, and they knew what they were talking about. "Silver Lily" is not "White Lilac" even in moral aspect, to say nothing about the bouquets.
"Lily", for example, stimulates the mind, worries the consciousness, and strengthens the discipline. "White Lilac", to the contrary, calms down the consciousness and reconciles one with one's life...
With me it was like this: I drank a whole bottle of "Silver Lily", and I was sitting and crying. Why was I crying?- Because I remembered my Mom, I remembered and could not forget my Mom. "Mom"- I said. And I cried. And again: "Mom" - and again cried. Another, more stupid person, would be still sitting and crying. But me? I took a bottle of "White Lilac" and drank it. And wouldn't you know - tears dried, stupid laughter overcame me, and as for the Mom - I forgot even her name. And so, I laugh at people who, while preparing "Geneva Spirit", add "Silver Lily" to the medication against sweaty feet!
Listen to the recipe:
"White Lilac" 50 gms
The medication against sweaty feet 50 gms
Zhigulevskoye beer 200 gms
Alcohol-based lacquer 150 gms
But if a man does not want to trample the earth needlessly, he should send to hell both "Canaan balsam" and "Geneva Spirit". He'd better sit down and mix himself a "Young communist girl's tear". This cocktail is smelly and strange. Why it is smelly, you'll learn later. At first I'll explain why it's strange.
A person drinking simple vodka either preserves both the sound mind and the good memory or loses both. But with the "Young communist girl's tear" it's outright funny - when one drinks 100 grams of that "tear", the memory remains good, but there's no trace of sound mind. After 100 more grams one is surprised: where did all this sound mind come from? And where did all good memory go? Even the recipe of the "tear" is fragrant. And from the prepared cocktail, from its aroma, one can faint for a minute. I, for example, fainted.
Lavender 15 gms
Verbena 15 gms
"Forest Water" 30 gms
Nail polish 2 gms
Tooth elixir 150 gms
Lemonade 150 gms
This mixture should for twenty minutes be stirred with honeysuckle branch. Some people say that if necessary, the honeysuckle can be substituted by convolvulus. This is erroneous and criminal. You can cut me to pieces, but you won't force me to stir "Young communist girl's tear" with convolvulus - I'll stir it with honeysuckle. I break my sides with laughter when in my presence somebody stirs the "Young communist girl's tear" with convolvulus and not with honeysuckle...
But enough about the "tear". Now I offer you the last and the best. "The end of work is better than all prizes" - as the poet said. I offer you the cocktail "Bitch's Guts" - the drink eclipsing everything. What is the most beautiful thing in the world? - The struggle for the liberation of mankind (again Marx's questionnaire and his answer quoted). And this is even more beautiful (write it down):
Zhigulevskoye beer 100 gms
Shampoo "Sadko" 30 gms
Anti-dandruff medication "Resol" 70 gms
Medication against sweaty feet 30 gms
Desinsectal for extermination of small insects 20 gms
This mixture is for one week kept over cigar tobacco and is then served...
I received some letters where the readers recommended filtering the tincture thus obtained. Those corrections and additions spring from weak imagination and lack of fantasy - that's where these stupid corrections come from...
And so, "Bitch's Gut" is served. Drink it with the appearance of the first star, by large gulps. After only two glasses of this cocktail one becomes so spirited that you can come close and for the whole half an hour spit in his face from five feet - and he wouldn’t say anything to you...."
There were rumors of Soviet Military units that could not mobilize because the troops had drunk all the antifreeze
Not antifreeze, but brake fluid. Antifreeze is poisonous [glycol-based], but the brake fluid there was alcohol-based since times immemorial. And as for colognes - it is gospel truth. By law the alcohol in pharmaceutical products in USSR could not be denatured, and colognes were sold in pharmacies. Every morning I used to go to work past a [not yet opened] pharmacy and on its steps by the door there would always be the same group of heavy duty "alcanauts" waiting for it to open. Colognes were cheaper than vodka, and the wood paint I taught the muscovites to distill was at least 10 times cheaper.
