We’re not sure how to approach a subject like this. The very disucssion of this sinster idea just might get others to copy it. Should we let this evil pink genie out of it’s brown amber colored bottle?
We’re talking about Strawberry Quick, and no it’s not a drag queen. The newswires are ablaze as people are talking about artificially fruit-flavored, sweeteed sweetened crystal meth as a way for drug dealers to sell meth to kids. I’m not sure if they are just copying the tobacco and liquor companies, or this is just a way of driving interest in the drug among users.
It’s not like you need a marketing campaign to sell crack. Like Chris Rock said in his show “Bring the Pain:”
“Drug dealers don’t sell drugs. Drugs sell themselves. It’s crack. It’s not an encyclopedia. It’s not a f**king vacuum cleaner. You don’t really gotta try to sell crack. Ok? I’ve never heard a crack dealer going “Man, how am I gonna get rid of all this crack?!”
We just saw Spiderman 3 and all I can say is I wish the wacky editor-in-cheif J. Jonah Jameson got his own film, or at the very least more on-screen time. Actor J. K. Simmons (the therapist on Law and Order and a gang leader on OZ) deliciously devours scenery with his cigar-chomping flamboyant arrogance. Having worked in newspaper publishing for over a decade, I personally relished every moment of the characters lunacy, weather it is in the Raimi’s Spider Man moives or when he reprises his role on the Simpsons.
Today we’re surprised as you may be to get a phone call from a long lost friend who used to be on the show! Who is it? Just listen and find out.

November 25, 2007 at 09:36I don’t know what freaks me out the most candy flavored drugs or emo spider man. The weird thing is that spider man is an non depressive emo. And contrary of you guys I used to like Strawberry Quick

November 25, 2007 at 14:25Dwayne is great; however, I chide you in not doing your usual “2007 countdown” questions at the end of the show since he was essentially the guest - and there is curiosity about his answers!
If Apple’s call center for “different kind of employees” were in Tennessee, I could see a lot of people signing up - just for the showmanship alone. Note to any Fraternal Order of Police call center and their ilk….

November 26, 2007 at 08:57aww, love Dwayne and the southern accent. I kept rewinding (that sounds so cassette tape) the podcast to keep listening to some parts, it’s so cute ! The show was great as usual, love those interviews and candid discussions

November 26, 2007 at 12:11DC- Wayne has been on many many many times. Although I don’t know if we ever did a breakdown with him. Maybe we should have him on for the new breakdown questions in 2008. I encourage you to go through the archives at http://www.tos.feastoffools.net to listen to Dwayne’s hitchhiking adventures to get from Tennessee to the West Coast. I’m not sure where they are in the archives but it was in 2005- I’m pretty sure!
You can also fond Dwayne at http://dwaynespeaks.com/ and he does have pics of Europe.

November 26, 2007 at 20:03Mark - I think 2005 must be the “European Middle Ages for FOF” since the links for Dwayne in Vegas don’t function.
When you have a complex life post-graduate school doing congressional work, I have to say that it’s refreshing to find some simplicity out there “beyond the beltway.” Also, I am really glad that you have Mike Rogers to offer political insight. We’ve been friends for many years and he’s very sincere in his efforts to expose hypocrisy.

November 26, 2007 at 20:50All I can say is that Dwayne has a hilarious perspective of optimism - and luck! Some Dwayne vintage for others to enjoy…

November 27, 2007 at 00:45Hey y’all! I am still around, doing my thing and being proud! I have always wanted to get my act together and do some kinda regular thing for the FOFfers, but you know how REAL LIFE can get in the way!!! I’ve been doing more traveling, too. I am still in the market for a boyfriend, so if you know any HOT guys in Seattle…!!

November 23, 2007 at 08:15Wow, Strawberry Quick. That’s crazy. So, there’s a bitter taste with methamphetamines, hmm? And people have been doing it all this time without enhancing the flavor? !! ? That’d be the first thing I would do if I was addicted to something that tasted so bad. Mix it in coffee, put it in a caramel, do something to get rid of the taste.
