"we were both high having taken a couple of tabs and while I wept and hugged my bikes front wheel, for in that moment my bike became a talisman of childhood, Dean chatted with my mum with the grace and ease of Lady Diana visiting a childrens ward. 
We went into the house, Dean  charming my mums friends and delivering perfectly judged anecdotes while I had a mental breakdown because the plates they were dining from were slightly different to how I remembered them. It wasn't the acid, they were slightly different, it was a very subtle difference, they were still brown and cream floral plates but a bit different, thats what threw me, the subtlety.
If you're gonna get new plates, get new plates. They were so similar that I couldn't understand the logic of the replacement. It was like looking at your mum's face and noticing that her eyes were a centimetre closer. Which they were, but that was definitely the acid" - Russell Brand '07

Tin roof on a hot cat

Maggie: I'll win, alright
Brick: Win what? What is the victory of a cat on a hot tin roof?
Maggie: Just staying on it, I guess. As long as she can.

Dreamin of Dali

"I don't do drugs. I am drugs" - Dali
behaviour like this has guaranteed a reputation as brilliant as it is misleading-

"the day when people take my work seriously, they will realise that my painting is like an iceberg, which only shows a tenth of itself above water." -Dali
