Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life
I stopped at Wal-Mart this evening to buy groceries and picked up a can of WD-40. When I checked out at the self serve lane, a message came on the screen that I had to show ID. So had to show proof of age to the associate.

How long has this been required? Only certain states? Is this the new drug of choice to be huffed by strippers. (Keeping it TUSCL relevant).

Must be limited to certain places because I bout some from Lowes a few weeks ago and didn't need any type of id.

My father always told me this. You fix anything with bailing wire, duct tape and WD40.

I just bought some Scotch Guard at Lowe's self checkout, it required approval.

I went out to my car and huffed half a can in the parking lot.

Outstanding headache.

---But on a serious note: you guys remember smashing whippets out of a balloon until your head was pounding? Made sense at that moment hunh?

Huffing shit is a category in The Darwin Awards. There was a Tik Tok thing to huff finely ground cinnamon that killed people yet you don't need ID to buy it.

Never seen this on WD-40 but I remember as a kid having to ask my mom to buy model glue for me since sniffing glue was pretty popular in the 70’s

Where I grew up the stores used to put a ban on kids buying eggs like a couple weeks before Halloween. Didn't matter to us though. We used to buy them a month in advance and hide them in a warm furnace room. We wanted them fuckin rotten!

^^Gamma^^ Never heard that one before, but it's perfect
When I was a youngster, there were the functional, recreational druggies like me who didn't look like druggies, there were the hardcore druggies whose lives revolved around it, and there were the huffers, who were the Untouchables (in the Hindu/Caste sense, not the Elliott Ness sense)

Of all the ways to get high, huffing is the dumbest. Literally, all you are doing is killing brain cells by replacing oxygen with harmful chemicals, frequently carcinogenic. Whoever invented fruit-scented markers is literally guilty of crimes against humanity.

When I worked at a store in high school, we would sometimes find a dozen redi-whip cans with the nitrous sucked out of them.
