The 48 mile-long cigarette.
08/22/2005 10:32 p.m.
While ruminating about my 38 months of keeping nicotine's vise-like grip from my throat (literally), and having a weakness for all things statistical - I came up with the following figures.
I smoked 60 cigarettes a day for 35 years. At 4" a smoke, that's 20ft. of cigarette a day. Times 12,775 days. That's 255,500 feet. Which is (and I'm not proud of this - but it is mind-boggling) forty-eight freakin' miles of cigarette!!!! Ya gotta have helluva long arms to light that bad-boy up. The cost of that smoke? There are some things you really don't want to calculate.

Damn it's hard writting without a cigarette.
It's hard doing anything without a cigarette.
1146 days and counting.
Would still kill for just one long, deep drag.
I'm sure it gets easier around day 12,000.

Hangover's gone. So's my vodka. Can you get Clamatto juice in the States now?
The bloody Caesar - a significant upgrade on the bloody Mary. In order to register my first "explicit material" entry, I stand on the pornographic precipice - shouting out, most defiantly...labia majora!!! Tee. Hee.

Shouldn't "hungover" be listed in the mood catergories?
