Overheard in Tim Hortons:

“In my day, we didn’t need video games. We had LSD.”

@atomicpoet we certainly tried both -- with hilarious results. I've got a story about a friend of mine who spoke with a digital cow for 5 hours

@atomicpoet I could go for an Iced Cappuccino right now; we used to have Tim Hortons in NYC for a while and I would rather have their Iced Capps over Starbucks' Frappuccinos or anything from Dunkin anyday.

(FTR, Burger King and Tim Hortons is one company, so don't feel *too* patriotic about Tim Hortons now. 😉 )

@IronCurtain Believe me, I’m not a Tim Hortons fan, but it’s practically next door to my house.

If I had my choice, I’d be imbibing my own Aeropress brew.

@atomicpoet Fair enough.

(Oh, and if there's something you Canadians should feel patriotic about IMHO, it's your standard canon of Potato Chip flavo(u)rs. I'd rather have All-dressed or ketchup as flavo(u)rs than BBQ or Sour Cream and Onion anyday.

@IronCurtain @atomicpoet
One of my big regrets is never taking the time to travel to Canada before it was too late.
@GreenFire @atomicpoet What do you mean "too late"? Why can't you do it now?
@IronCurtain @atomicpoet
I stopped traveling after our carbon dioxide concentration exceeded 400 ppm. I should have done it when we took it over 350, but I'm not perfect.
@atomicpoet Spoken by a boomer who never got to play Doom while on LSD...

@atomicpoet

We made our own amusements back then.

@atomicpoet Why do you think they call it DOPE-amine?
@atomicpoet they’ve opened one near me in the UK. No LSD though :(
@atomicpoet I'm pretty sure they missed cocaine.
@atomicpoet arguably, the best video game.
@atomicpoet in my day we had both. Fun times.
