  • I really like the interpretation of Cain and Abel having it’s roots in the transition from Hunter Gatherer to Agraian society. Gobekli Tepe and all that.

    Another couple of fun ones are Christmas trees being forbidden in Jeremiah and cannabasam (forget where in the OT). I assume your uname is in reference to that cannabis use. The manna as psychedelic mushrooms is also a cool idea.

    I’ve actually drawn once in a defensive situation. Juvenile mountain lion was curious. I was growling and hissing at it but it kept coming so I drew. It finally turned and I didn’t have to try and kill it.

    Peak life experience. I was really lucky to get see one and I’m so glad I didn’t have to shoot it.





  • Trichocereus bridgesii, monstrose form. Called penis cactus or toothpick cactus depending on spines. T. bridgesii contains higher levels of alkaloids, including mescaline, than the more commonly used T. Pachnoi “San Pedro”. The monstrose form is said to be particularly potent, although it is slower growing.








  • Black Hole Sun and Beavis and Butthead were both on MTV back then. I don’t remember if they watched the video on the show.

    Anyhow, that video was up there with NIN’s Closer for general weird awesomness. The crazy smiles and expanding eyes are burned into my memory.

    Also, proto Hank Hill on Beavis and Butthead.

    I remember my grandfather being very upset about the “Beaver and Butthole” show.

    I very much agree. It is held up as this wonderful parable of how you should live. It’s the sort of thing that the powerful use to take advantage and abuse the weak.

    This kind of puerile shit is bad for children and is just like a lot of the Jesus crap that gets pounded into kids.
