    Even wealthy celebrities will fall into the trap of addiction, and people will be regularly saddened by news of the premature deaths of beloved artists due to overdose. Some will claim that marijuana helps with their illness, but dealers will market their mind-altering wares to everyone, including the young.

You figure, people would catch on that you're trying your hand at satire by the second paragraph (quoted above). But we at hubski generally have no sense of humour, except maybe flagamuffin -- heck, just calling himself flagamuffin suggests a tongue in cheek.

oh the comment above about hubski having no sense of humour? That was meant tonguecheekily.

Yes baffling perhaps we need to return to reading comprehension class in fourth grade.

If tongue is ever out of cheek, please call doctor.

I don't get it :(

Yes, you are at the top of the humourless list, I'm afraid.

On another topic, just doing my 2013 taxes. Do you think that I can claim my trip trip to Detroit w/ Cadell & my lunch in BC w/ forwardslash as business expenses? I see my connection with hubski as important for my "business." Does that make me a capitalist?

Yes it does. Enjoy your bacon, Pig.

Also, I'm pretty sure you can't deduct anything in Canada.

You forget how amazing Canada is. Everything is deductible from income. Everything!! For example, all your travel related to getting married would be deductible in Canada because we have gay marriage. Marriage is good for business. That makes marriage a business expense.

    Enjoy your bacon, Pig.
You are forgetting my religious aversions.

Funniest line I've read on this sober site in a long time.

For the record, I wasn't forgetting your dietary restrictions; I was referencing The Beatles. In "Piggies" they sing about pigs eating bacon, which I never really understood but I like nonetheless.
