[UA] Culture of The OU

[Royal Minister of Stuff]

If you're using the drug culture as a reference, may I
point out that even someone who does not know much
about the drug culture has at least heard of it and
knows some of the major ins-and-outs.

I'll bet you can name two or three different types of
illicit drugs, have heard of some ways to obtain them,
know some drug nicknames and can probably even guess
what a 420 party is.  If you found a hotel room with a
big tub in the middle of it full of old liquor bottles
and a knife in the kitchen which someone had heated
with a pocket lighter, you'd probably guess what was
going on there.  Spotting a half-broken lightbulb
(which had also been heated) in the trash would also
give you some clues.

You've probably heard how some drugs are made and know
several different types of contacts.  You may or may
not beleive the terrific amount of drug traffic in the
United States and European countries, but you would
probably recognize it if you saw it and a lot of
things would fall into place.

Or, as they say, Sator Arepo Tenet Opera Rotas would
probably mean a whole heck of a lot more if you found
it inscribed on your ass.*

*If I'm not allowed to curse, this refers to a
well-loved pet trail burro.
