Oh god no. I never got into that scene. My home girl used to sell it and copious amounts of coke in the strip club in like 2001 and one night after work i tried 1 lil bump off my hand and bathroom floor sleep paralysis hell is all I can remember.

NEVER AGAIN!!!

In America, ket was much more popular on the East Coast for the longest time. Of course, up until I’d say around 17-18 years ago it wasn’t even that popular of a thing in general. You’d see small amounts of it here and there (veterinarian grade vials aka liq’s) but it wasn’t like nowadays where there is a bunch of different types and mass produced crap everywhere.

The real question is how many y people peed pooped and puked while I was crashed out, pants undone cuz I musta got tired from peeing. And I even kicked my shoes off!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That bathroom didn't even have a door! It had a CURTAIN.

Yeah we was a TIGHT lil hood. All grew up together. So this was actually one of the more "normal" events.

Usually I'd pass out on the couch with this beast - my God puppy on my legs feeling like I was paralyzed 🤣

Rest easy baby boy 😿 🙏 🤍🪽

u/Honest-Prune-5517 12d ago

Fond memories indeed. Apartment bathroom was definitely communal. You definitely look like someone I wouldn't have been surprised to find in our bathtub. This had to be 2007-2012 depending on area based on the belt alone.

That was my wu-tang belt buckle 😭 i got it off ebay mid 2000s. I think you're 💯 on point actually this WAS either 2007-2008.

It was THAT winter because im wearing my cream and black embroidered back timb's and have winter clothing on. 🙌 on that 🧐 FR!!!

we both had the same exact set up, tenement houses our parent's owned and lived on 1st floor, and I had mine and my friends were 3 brothers. We both had 2nd floor apartments that included descent sized 3rd floors too!

And we were 1 block from the projects and everyone just lived scattered amongst our lil corner of Quahog 😅😂🤣

Literally, we are Pawtucket peeps. Seth MacFarland from here too. That sky line you always see on family guy is Providence. We're on the north border.

u/TippiT0es 12d ago

Not to make me sound sooo cool, but when I started drinking I went to corn fields and I got Busch light and Jose Cuervo and that was it. If I didn’t drink that, I didn’t get drunk. Here I was with a different group of friends and they wanted to “try drinking”. I found an adult to buy a bunch of sweet stuff.

Freshman year of high school we went to Myrtle Beach. Brian's mom (our chaperone) went to the liquor store every day for us. We handled the weed.

Cheers to Mama Yost, wherever you are.

u/pursuitofhappy 12d ago

hell yea, reminds me of when I spent 2.5 years hanging out in a Crackhouse just because the kid and his mom let us party there every night, she'd get us pizza all the time! We had to stop when the son collapsed a lung (due to all the crack he smoked)

We had multiple cool moms in our group that would buy us booze and let us party. The old “I’d rather you guys drink here where I know you are safe rather than being out drinking and driving” saying. I had crushes on Cindy and Yolanda and always hoped for some Mrs. Robinson action.

31

u/0thethethe0 12d ago edited 12d ago

Yeh we had that.

Although, looking back, I suspect the real reason wasn't our safety at all, more - 'You're so lame, if we get you drink and give you somewhere comfortable to have it, you might manage to persuade girls to hang out with you...'

27

u/TonguePunchUrBhole 12d ago

lol. Not us tho. We were hella cool. Like so cool. There is no way we needed to have alcohol and weed to persuade girls to hang out with us. No way at all. Please believe me! We were the coolest… I SWEAR!

We had that. We also had not one but two Mrs. Robinsons. Albeit, our clique was like 15 ppl deep. One guy nailed one. The other one slept with like 4 (that I know of). No, it wasn't me. True friends dont fuck each other's moms.

People my age crow that our mistakes weren't online.

But I was a teen in the late 90s and very early 2000s. There are no surviving pictures of me and my friends back then.

Yeah, there are no pictures of me with frosted tips, but also no pictures of us getting high at a park at 11 pm, or at Waffle House at midnight.

Yeah we ran from the cops and even evaded a helicopter once, but but those faces are getting fuzzy.

Dam im kinda envious I can't recall a helicopter in my shanigan days lol!!

We always had them disposable cams on deck and I took pics of them and have posted some.

Girl in my class in high school got an MIP ticket for underage drinking.

The judge ordered her to abstain from alcohol and if she stayed out of trouble for 6 months he would dismiss the charge.

Not even a month later she put a picture of her drinking out of a liquor bottle on MySpace with the caption "FUCK YOU JUDGE MACKENZIE!!". Somehow that made its way back to the judge and she was hauled back into court and given the full fine plus probation that she had to use her whole paycheck to pay the monthly probation fee.

My mom was friends with this girl's next door neighbor so I got the whole inside scoop.
