[UA] Invisible Rules

[Royal Minister of Stuff]

What makes you think you use a handgun that much in a
drugged-up lifestyle.  I've spent huge portions of my
life (too much, in fact) in Portland, Ore. and
Oklahoma City.  The only people using handguns and
struggles on freaks and whistlers there are the cops. 
The average citizen at least knows where to score some
pot (it grows wild in the ditches and fields of OK
City -at least I hope it does or some... friends of
mine got really horny from rolled-up stinkweed) and
I've never gotten a job anywhere that I haven't been
given some variation on "do you dig 4:20" by people
who think I'm uptight.

Of course, I am uptight, but I can't really count that
as a skill. Also, as I live in Colorado Springs, now,
I should point out that none of my friends are really
gay and all this stuff about illicit drug traffic is a
total lie, so please don't tell Dr. Dobbson.

Boy I wish I could think of a way to relate this to
UA.
