I have to tell you, it's nice to actually be able to smoke a yummy cig once in a while.
I dont think mine are FSC either. Dont think we have em yet. How can you tell?

If it tastes like ***, it's probably FSC

Well, I've been smoking Marlboros and Camels for 5 years and I havent noticed a difference in either, so I guess we dont have FSC yet. Maybe I'm just oblivious to change.

Haha damn MoD, that's exactly what I thought when I saw those new Geico commercials. I was watching TV with my girlfriend and I yelled out "HEY THEY STOLE THAT FROM CONKER'S!" She had no idea what I was talking about, so of course I spent a minute or two explaining the whole thing in a raised voice. I guess she didnt really care.

Yeah, that game was amazing. I dunno if it's true but I heard that it was originally going to be a kids game but the developers got tired of that and decided to make it as crude as possible.

On Marlboros, look at the bar code on the side of the pack. If it says "FSC" above the barcode sideways, then you've got the crappy smokes.

All smokes made by RJ Reynolds are already FSC, so Camels are different already. They have been making the new smokes for a long time now, but there is no label on the package to tell the difference just in case you were to get your hands on a 2 year old carton of Camels. But I'm surprised you haven't noticed the difference yet. I sure can.

But according to the map, you are correct. You can buy the good ones in your state still.

Yeah, that's true. Not necessarily a "kids game" but another harmless adventure game. There actually WAS a "kids" Conker made before Bad Fur Day, it was called Conker's Pocket Tales and was one of those dual-mode Game Boy/Game Boy color games. Conker was also one of the racers in Diddy Kong Racing.

Partway through the development of "Conker's Quest" the developers began to worry if it would get lost in the slew of 3D adventure/platformers at the time, so they decided to take a route that would make it stand out. That's when it became Bad Fur Day.

Yeah, my Marlboro's are the good ones. I used to smoke only Camels, but a little over a year ago I went back to Marlboro's and only smoke them unless I can't get Lights or Mediums for whatever reason, then I get Camels. So I really havent had many Camels in recent history. I'm glad the Marlboro's havent been effected.

Jesus, I just looked at that map. Michigan is one of only four states that havent started passing/have passed an FSC law? I guess for once, for one thing, it's good to live in Michigan.

Only if I'm carrying the sabertooth tiger I killed on my back. You have to walk hunched over carrying one of those things.

Nah, my middle fingers on both hands are crooked after the first knuckle. Maybe they were broken, who knows. I played hockey for 12 years when I was a kid, that might have done it. It's been like that for as long as I can remember though. It doesnt seem to effect my guitar playing, so I dont really care.

i prefer donkeys, they're not as high off the ground.

dude i had the strangest dream last night. i survived some medical outbreak thing that made people into zombie like people. some were intelligent and some were dumb, invasion of the body snatcher style where they'll rat you out, but you could totally go shawn of the dead on them and act dumb and they'll ignore you. the entire hospital scene played out and everyone in there died. i hooked up with some other survivors and we ended up in the mexican ghetto and the gang was composed of smart zombies. so we got supplies from them, i played guitar hero with this guy



then he sold me some clean pot lol. somehow i ended up driving a tractor trailer through all these decrepit neighborhoods. i stopped to refuel and get smokes and met up with another non-zombie truck driver. we were headed to my uncle's house in tampa for some reason (even stranger, it was the other guy's idea ). en route, we were ambushed by moer smart zombies with machine guns. as i was sneaking around my wrecked truck to try and get the gun, i woke up.

no more meatloaf before bed for me
