I remember from our days on AOL that the collective IQ would temporarily drop by about 50 points for a week or two at this time of year when all of the people who just got their first-ever computer for Christmas typed “dope” into AOL’s search and found us.

They’d ask the best way to clean a bong, or whatever, get mad because they thought they were in a live chat and nobody answered, and then they’d (mercifully) go away.
