Last night was animated.

Ended up going to the jungle thing in the CBD.

First time at a nightclub someone trying to sell me a pen and ket at the same time. Kids are different these days.

Good jungle though.

What is a pen in this context?

[–] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 6 points 4 months ago

Quite literally a pen in a case lol.

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Any pingers?

[–] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No pingers.

Those were the days :(

Just $16 pints. Was tempted by the horse tranq but I'm not a horse anymore.

I never understood ket as a party drug. It's like the complete opposite.

Beer is good, not for $16 a pop, but still.

Half a tab of acid, a bump of ket every two hours, enough booze to stay tipsy, a day of sunshine and 2000-2010 bush doof trance was peak drug use for me.

A little bit of ket is a wonderful thing.

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 1 points 4 months ago

Given the surroundings I can see that. Dark room nighttime raves with cheap exstasy made ket a silly option.

Now, the day after on the comedown.....made dealing with reality slightly better.

Which bargain did you take up?

[–] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

I asked them if they had their pen license (they were kiwi) and they said they don't have that over there.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 8 points 4 months ago

It's called a Pin licence over there. Maybe they didn't understand you.

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 4 points 4 months ago

Pen license is very much an Aussie thing. When my kids got theirs I had no idea what it was.
