The Wisdom of Eve

My mother and I were discussing what kind of drugs I might take up. “What about the stuff you put on the mirror and sniff, dear?” she asked. Nope, that keeps you awake. I’m thinking heroin—but does it come in a pill? I hate needles.

Actually, you can snort heroin if you can put up with the taste. It doesn’t come on as quick as IV, so you miss some of the rush, but the strength and duration are comperable. It can also be smoked, and it actually comes on quicker than snorting. Forget pills, they take over an hour and come on slowly; powdered heroin can be put in capsules and ingested though.

Heroin is pretty flexible, any way you get it in you works, it’s just how fast it works that makes the difference. The problem, however, is not in starting, it’s in stopping. It is very seductive. The saying used to be something like, “Heroin. It’s so nice, you can’t try it just twice.” Or something like that.

Not that I or anyone else that I know has ever had any knowledge or experience therof…

Oh, this is too easy.
All I had to do was search on “ruby loincloth” to find one of the first things I read at SDMB, and one of the many reasons choose to check back regularly.

Jesus Rhinestone Christ with a Ruby Loincloth!

No, I’n not cussing—this is exactly what I saw on the subway this morning. A gentleman was wearing it on a chain around his neck, and it was dangling hypnotically in front of me all the way to 33rd Street.

It was about two inches long, and Jesus was made entirely of “diamonds,” and was wearing a kicky little “ruby” loincloth. He didn’t even have a cross behind him: he was just standing there, knees slightly bent and arms outstretched, as if he were belting out “Mammy” at the Palace Theater.

It was Odd.

Heh. Farmwoman, that was my favorite Eve thread of all time. But I liked this better:

One of the beauty girls at work showed me some jewelry we were going to feature in our magazine: a four-inch long gold cross encrusted with rubies and surrounded by diamonds. “It looks like what you’d crucify Liza Minnelli on” was my vote.

‘All about Eve’ huh.

I believe Eve is the main reason I signed up here.
Posted by that elegant lady. About Feng Shui:

You know, if you have a stairway leading directly to a door, your chi could run right outside and get hit by the milk truck.

Be sure to cut a “chi flap” into your door so it can get back in at night, too.

Thank you Eve, for giving me those old-fashioned, silly giggles, so needed on rainy days.

No need to mention that awful fiasco from Trainspotting, then? (And I don’t mean using Vics as a sexual lubricant!)

Post #16 by [Eve] in the following thread had a co-worker laughing so hard he could not talk: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=175371&highlight=mike+hunt+aiken

I don’t get it.

I mean; I get the Mike Hunt, but what’s funny about Aiken? Mike Aiken? My Kayken? My Kaik un? My Kay Kun?

It’s a problem sometimes when English isn’t your native tongue. Anyone? Thanks.

[Governor_Quinn]

Aiken= Aching

Ergo, Mike Hunt is Aching.

From the “Casual Friday tomorrow - what do you wear?” thread:

@Eve

The faux pearls.

I loved that!

Thank you Governor Quinn [I’m learning every day]

That was a real Mike Hunt issue, huh.

But everyone knows all about Eve.

Eve and I start a delightful exchange at post #12 in this thread: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=195955&highlight=height+depth

I believe it was one of the first Threadspottings, but still my favorite:

I love Eve. Always have.

I still would like to know why you can’t wear navy and tan at the same time though.

Some things are just wrong. It’s like eating mustard on ice cream.

Now, khaki and pale blue? Gorgeous.

Eve, you are one of my favorite people in the world, but navy and tan are terrific, while khaki and pale blue are blah at best, dreadful at worst!

I know your taste is impeccable, so I can only assume you are whooshing us!
