Esrgood4u thats a crazy story, I went through the 90s enjoying them aswell, mostly doves,mitsis,disco biscuits, snowballs and squares. Luckily in my home town we had one of the top 10 underground clubs in Britain so i got to see and listen to all sorts of different djs from all over the world, met my goodlady there 27 years ago, It was under an indian restaurant and we could openly smoke, no bouncers, my love of red stripe started there aswell. I wouldnt thank you for one now as god knows whats in them, i hear younguns saying they take 3 and 4 now, if we did that back then we would have ended up like you did, luckily you pulled through and im sure you had some great nights with them after that, i know i did lol. Peace.
I believe 96 or 97 was the time that those crazy high dose caps turned up in the UK? From supposedly Netherlands but most likely Albania or even Belgium. Before that we only really had garden shed made type of crap and the occasional Walter White type chemist knocking out small batches.
I read a book about E recently and the crazy stories that went into and came out of that “goldrush” are phenomenal
end of the 90 there was a german goa live act called “mittelstandskinder ohne strom” in english “middle-class children without electricity”? not sure you can translate it like that.
at that time i was often to this kind of music festivals and i liked m.o.s alot! so “m0sirys” was born
i got mine in 2000. i had been in my special forces unit in the national guard for two years and was on the training team getting ready for sfas. i was living in the armory, and had a cot in my office i slept. it was when the internet was just taking off and i needed a username for a chat or something. i tried zombie since that’s my nickname from basic training but that was taken, so i put the sf in front for special forces, that was also taken, but my lucky 13 on the end made it my screen name forever. if you see an sfzombie13 it is most likely me. a few years ago i bought a domain with sfzombie13 and now have a ‘myspace page’ on the internet that folks can stumble across if they know where to look.
Cybersmib. I came up with it back in the early days of personal computers. It’s a twist on “High tech Redneck”. Cyber is obvious. SMIB is a local unwoke joke stands for Southern Maryland InBred
I read Pippi Longstocking to my children. One morning Pippi invented a new word - Spunk! It’s a pity that such a good word didn’t make sense and Pippi starts looking for Spunk…
Only later did I become aware of the meaning of that word in the English language. I like the word, but it’s a pretty stupid meaning for a nickname.
I think I will try to change it
The dates seem to line up don’t they???
I was a seasoned user when this happened to me. My usual weekend intake was 6 to 8 mitsubishi or redbulls over a weekend so I really wasn’t expecting it to kick my ass like it did.
I’ve been online since the days of dial up modems and bulletin boards, and I’ve generally used the same moniker since the early 90’s. However, that screen name was a little bit too self identifying for forums such as these (props to @DougDawson ).
So, needed a new name one day, and this was the next song that hit my ears, and I decided why not?
It would probably be a better story if I told you it was a nickname given to me by my first girlfriend
