Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas comes to mind... then again so does Requiem For a Dream :) "We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of uppers, downers, laughers, screamers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can." -----Original Message----- From: Ian Batterbee [mailto:ibatterb(a)gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, 5 February 2009 10:31 p.m. To: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Subject: Re: [nznog] Telstra Fibre Outage?
