“Late-night ski lift looking for a snow bunny.”
“Where are the cool Brooklyn ski bums? I’ve got tons to share.”
“Take a ride on the snow train.”
The come-ons in the Casual Encounters section of Craigslist last week — or any week — are as plentiful as they are obvious (and cheesy). Using a variety of euphemisms that have been around since Jay McInerney wrote about Bolivian Marching Powder, posters invite others to join them for a line or a lost weekend fueled by cocaine.

...[I]n interviews over the last five months with people in the night-life, entertainment, media and finance industries, all said that cocaine is a prominent part of a night out. Teron Beal, 34, a songwriter and aspiring actor, said he encountered cocaine regularly and does it occasionally — and not only in clubs and bars. “When you’re in meetings and you’re in the studio, it’s offered like coffee,” he said. “If you say yeah, they’re cool with it and if you say no, they’re like O.K., and they just go and do it in front of you.”

I kind of scrambled that sentence and then submitted it too early (am I on drugs?), but I meant to add that one of those cases involved a lost security clearance and career at a National Laboratory. The other involved a lost marriage, government career, and 20 years of pension accumulation. Probably wasn’t worth it.
Oh trust me, I can scramble a sentence! And I don’t even drink :P
I know what the consequences of drugs can be. I was just making a statement to disclaimer the article. The article really made some insinuations that drugs are wide spread and a way of life. I was trying to add my experience to show it isn’t as wide spread as the writer made it sound.

You are correct, there....
Richard Prior: Cocaine is Gods way of telling you you have too much money!
He knew.
Good one.
That's because you're a Losertarian who just want free dope and child porn and want to overthrow the government aaarrggghh < /S >

Fair enough.
Good one. Never heard it before. :-)
Are you really prepared to ally yourself with the terrorists?
LOL!
If you loved your neighbor as yourself you would. I've seen a friend crash and burn on meth. Neither I nor anybody else could stop it, but we tried. And I would try again given the chance.
In case there is any gross understandings, I’m against illegal drugs.
