Hamster Alive; Cockroach Dead

I'VE BEEN HIBERNATING ALL AFTERNOON.

Evilstein came this morning and sprayed insecticide everywhere. He has it in industrial strength liquid. It certainly worked. I saw a cockroach dancing a jig not long afterwards... yes there are still cockroaches here ... He doesn't realize I have a Chinese mouse hiding in that tank on top of the cupboards... seems to believe the tank is empty (tribute to Mousey's hiding powers). He even tried to get me to throw said tank away as "rubbish". No way! If Mousey ever does come to light no way can Evilstein imply he "attracts vermin" because my book The Dwarf Hamster explicitly states, "in the wild, insects can constitute 60% of the Chinese hamster's diet," so there.

Evilstein seems to love industrial strength chemicals. Only yesterday did I find a "91% sulphuric acid" solution container in our outside bins. It was there in the name of drain cleaner. But I would not put anything past the psychotic Dr Evilstein ...

The Labour government two years ago downgraded cannabis from Class B to Class C under the antidrugs laws. Now the crowds are braying for it to be reclassified back to class B, especially as a study in today's Lancet medical journal states that smokers of cannabis are at a 40% to 200% higher lifetime risk of developing schizophrenia or psychosis. Well I don't know about that. The opposing side point out that levels of schizophrenia have not increased among the general population in the 30, 40 years or so that cannabis has been popular in this country. To which The Lancet doctors reply that hospitalization practice has vastly changed over that time (so hospitalizations cannot be used as a fair guide to schizophrenia levels in the general population) plus the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia have changed over that time. So it is impossible to state with any accuracy whether levels of schizophrenia in the general populus have increased. One factor they seem not to have considered: maybe cannabis appeals more to those who are likely to go on to get schizophrenia anyhow ... All I can say about cannabis and me is that in recent times it has disagreed with me so incredibly virulently I felt like I was losing my mind last time I smoked half a spliff! So I just don't go there. Horrible stuff it is. I quite like the smell it leaves after it's been smoked. But the drug itself? Nasty business!

Cannabis? It should be made illegal ...

I KNOW I CAN'T POST PHOTOS. BUT IF YOU WANT to see a clip of a Chinese Hamster that looks just like mine (except this one's female) click here.

Or click this one for a Chinese Hamster from Japan. The film is better ...

And this clip shows how they cling so adeptly to hands and fingers. Seriously agile ...

PS: This is a way of supposedly tricking American (?) Coca-Cola machines into giving out free drinks and then returning your money..?? Has anyone actually seen a Coke machine like in the clip? I haven't...

    You know what your blog is missing?

    Pictures. I wish you could find a way to post pictures of your chinese mouse, your door that won't latch, they dying cockroach, etc.

    That'd be so cool.

    Some people will always find a way to cheat, won't they?

    My brother was a heavy cannabis smoker and ended up in and out of psych hospitals with a drug induced psychosis. He doesn't touch the stuff now, but he's not the some brother he used to be.

    I dont know what the big to do is about pot/cannabis, and all the pot smokers i've met have been finatically annoying about it, so i cant say i would be too upset if it were changed and i were you except that i wish all drugs were legal except the really harmful experimental stuff that they approve when they are trying to make money but are hiding certain studies.. this applies to sick people patients in hospitals more than drug addicts though!

    Puss in Boots: see I agree with you. I think cannabis CAN be harmful. It definitely disagrees with me. If I were smoking it now I think I'd be climbing trees and whooping like a babboon...

    Ivy: but where would you draw the line at what is and is not acceptable? If people still wanted to take it? I think they should give diamorphine to chronic heroin addicts. The crux being, not merely that they "want it" and so should be given it but that after years and years of abuse ANY doctor will admit there is a physical NEED for it. No-one can disagree with that (why else the withdrawal symptoms?) no matter what moral standpoint one takes on the matter

    Edyta: BC I never learned how to post 'em up and do not have an operational digital camera ...

    Just couldn't find a sidebar at all last time I was there!

    Gled, It is possible that you did not wait for it to load all the way. The sidebar is still there but my blog is horrendously long. If you can reach the end entry where it says "this boy might not see perfection in me" then the sidebar is there. Maybe on a different type of computer the sidebar is at the end of the scrolling. But it is always there, usually at the front for most computers.
    As for the photos, you can just go to the last link up there... where it says "How not to post photos" and something about dysmorphic girl!

    i agree with you about the "diamorphine" but I got the feeling you didnt respond well to pot in your post either, that is the only reason i said that.
