The Drew & I were at Pipe Dreams--a head shop--last night looking for house decs etc. A biker dude in leather and bandanna was in there with his biker chick, also in a leather. He bought some smoking accessory or another & asked the owner if they could go out back and "do what they came to do," only the owner misunderstood you see, there being an adult novelty store somewhere in the back of the store also. So the owner says "Yeah, pretty much anything goes, except there are some rules of decorum round here..."
Anyway we saw these two later in the parking lot. The biker dude was all friendly and curious at this point, since we had inquired inside about getting a real Middle-Eastern hookah and sheeshah to smoke. He wanted to know what "sheeshah" was. We explained that it just made you more alert, kinda like drinking a coupla cups of coffee, since it was just flavored tobacco. "Aw, that wouldn't wake me up man," says the biker dude, "when I wanna do that I jest get in a fast car."
Well he has a point here. When I get up and exercise I don't need coffee in the morning, coffee's kind of the sedentary man's form of alertness, but really not a very good substitute at that. Endorphines man--the natural stimulants are definitely the best ones.
