The exact quote

[madbaker]

From Glory Road, by Robert A. Heinlein:
"The truth is, I've got a monkey on my back, a habit worse than marijuana though not as expensive as heroin... The fact is I am a compulsive reader. I'll read the ads in an old Paris-Match that has been used to wrap herring before I'll do without."

Worse than marijuana, huh? I dunno, all the films from that era (1963) clearly show that one puff of Mary Jane turns you into a crazed serial killer.

I don't know about becoming a crazed serial killer.... all I know is that the only time I tried it.... I mean, only time MY FRIEND tried it, I ran out and... I mean, MY FRIEND ran out and bought a boxed set of Have Spacesuit - Will Travel, Citizen of the Galaxy, and Time for the Stars. And had really great sex.

And somehow I ended up with the set.

That's my story, and I'm sticking with it.

Never mind; I saw a snippet of an interview with Mr. Nugent last week where he went off on a rant about legalized drugs and Star Trek Conventions.

Forget it.

A BOXED SET!?!?! Is that legal in this state?
