4. Heroin
Iggy Pop. Keith Richards. William S. Burroughs. It can get no cooler. Heroin is my life. Heroin is my wife.

Jane says
I'm done with Sergio
He treats me like a ragdoll
She hides The television
Says "I don't owe him nothing,
But if he comes back again
Tell him to wait right here for me or,
Try again tomorrow"
"I'm gonna kick tomorrow..."
"I'm gonna kick tomorrow..."

Jane says
"Have you seen my wig around?
I feel naked without it"
She knows
They all want her to go
But that's ok man
She don't like them anyway
Jane says
"I'm going away to spain
when i get my money saved
I'm gonna start tomorrow"
"I'm gonna kick tomorrow..."
"I'm gonna kick tomorrow..."
She gets mad
And she starts to cry
Takes a swing but she can't hit!
She don't mean no harm
She just don't know...
What else to do about it

Jane goes
To the store at eight
She walks up on St. Andrews
She waits
And gets her dinner there
She pulls her dinner
From her pocket
Jane says
"I've never been in love - no"
She don't know what it is
She only knows if someone wants her
"I only want 'em if they want me,..."
"I only know they want me..."
Jane says...
Jane says...

12. Lou Reed
"Heroin"
Album: Rock N Roll Animal (live)

I don’t know just where I’m going
But I’m goin’ to try for the kingdom if I can
’cause it makes me feel like I’m a man
When I put a spike into my vein
Then I tell you things aren’t quite the same
When I’m rushing on my run
And I feel just like jesus’ son
And I guess I just don’t know
And I guess that I just don’t know
I have made very big decision
I’m goin’ to try to nullify my life
’cause when the blood begins to flow
When it shoots up the dropper’s neck
When I’m closing in on death
You can’t help me not you guys
All you sweet girls with all your sweet talk
You can all go take a walk
And I guess I just don’t know
And I guess I just don’t know
I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
I wish that I’d sailed the darkened seas
On a great big clipper ship
Going from this land here to that
I put on a sailor’s suit and cap
Away from the big city
Where a man cannot be free
Of all the evils in this town
And of himself and those around
Oh, and I guess I just don’t know
Oh, and I guess I just don’t know
Heroin, be the death of me
Heroin, it’s my wife and it’s my life
Because a mainer to my vein
Leads to a center in my head
And then I’m better off than dead
When the smack begins to flow
Then I really don’t care anymore
About all the jim-jims in this town
And everybody putting everybody else down
And all of the politicians makin’ crazy sounds
All the dead bodies piled up in mounds, yeah
Wow, that heroin is in my blood
And the blood is in my head
Yeah, the god’s good as dead
Ooohhh, God that I’m not aware
I just don’t care
And I guess I just don’t know
And I guess I just don’t know

7. No drinking?
'Cause the coolest of course, is gambling AND drinking. Sitting at a blackjack table with a Scotch, perhaps.

16. You know, I was thinking about including drinking
but I decided I don't really consider drinking a vice, since alcohol isn't categorically damaging to your health or inherently sinful

Now, DANCING is an entirely different story

Yeah, that's why they say it is right on the bottle!

Health effects of alcohol

25. For a minute there...
...I thought your post was offering Jesus Christ as a cool vice.

ROFLMAO. Hmmm...on second thought...

Now then, it is so interesting when you read those study results, then you take the time to find out WHO IS FUNDING ~90 percent of that research.

Any guesses, boy and girls?

It is also interesting when you search and you find out that almost all of the "benefits" of alcohol have been found studying wines...and that grape juice has been found to have the same basic health benefits. So it isn't the alcohol at all. It's the grapes.

As far as your glass of Scotch, it contains tannins and creosote, as well as numerous other cancer-causing chemicals that result from the aging process.

Oh, and don't get my motivations wrong, I knock back 4-5 beers every freakin' night. It's just that I acknowledge what I'm doing to myself by doing that, rather than deluding myself.

Alcohol's effect on the liver is pronounced and occurs at very low dosages, particularly if the doses are consistently delivered. No way around that. Consumption of alcohol in any quantity on a consistent basis leads to an increase in incidence of esophageal cancer. Can't get around it. Alcohol consumption raises the blood pressure. It's a fact. Alcohol consumption on a regular basis in any quantity raises the risk of bladder cancer. Fact.

Me, I don't give a shit. But I don't delude myself, either.

8. Aw hell, I would say...
Edited on Tue Jan-25-05 04:12 PM by jswordy
SEXUAL ADDICTION is coolest. But there's no spot for it on the poll!

Therefore, I am a victim, and I cry DISCRIMINATION!

(Just kidding...I need to take my pills now...)

15. Uh, topic was "COOLEST vice"
vice -- 1.  a specific form of evildoing; "vice offends the moral standards of the community"; 2.  moral weakness

You're just lucky the nun friends didn't think sex was the best (though the picture would still have looked similar)
