Dry spells no more!
1999-10-04 13:31:10
We've all had those times where a certain substance is needed for one reason or another, but none can be found. Now, thanks to The Internet and some very enterprising entrepreneurs in a European country, all dry spells are a thing of the past!
The High Shop, located in the Netherlands, will mail to your doorstep any of the products contained in their online catalog, at a very reasonable price. Not only that, but they'll even send you free samples! Sure, there are a couple of minor catches (AdultID check, etc) but for the service they are providing to the world, it's worth it.
Followup:
A concerned Pigdog reader writes to us:
Not that I have "Adult Check" or anything, but isn't The High Shop(ppe?) the place that sells "herbal intoxicants" of a entirely non-cannibus, non-illegal, and non-functional nature?
I could be wrong on this, but I'd hate to see PigDog Journal be sucked by rip-off artists.
We here in Spock Mountain Research Labs can understand your concern. In the particular political climate that we are forced to live in, anything that's fun and/or intoxicating is either outlawed or highly regulated.
But what we have found through our studies is that there are many other ways that one can obtain a state of intoxication without the aid of well-known recreational substances. For example: you can take a trip down to The Mission, and purchase an ounce of Betel nut for a couple of bucks from an Indian grocery shop on Valencia. There are also substances such as Yage, Nutmeg, Calamus Root, Jimson Weed, and enough others to fill an entire book. Our crack chemical team is devoted to exploring all of these, and sharing with you the results.
In this particular case, yes, those substances that they do ship to the United States comply with the codes and legalities of the United States- but that does not mean this is a con. If you are in doubt, there are a few things you can do:

Paranoid Strippers & Psychotic Crack Dealers (Tales of Christmas Eve)

We've had a lot of Jesus coverage lately here at the PDJ. But let's face it, we're not exactly cutting-edge in this subject area. Jesus has been making headlines for, oh, I guess it's a couple thousand years now. Jesus is a very strong brand. Jesus has a lot of mindshare. (More...)
Poor Metallica. All they want is to continue to put out the same weak "Heavy Metal" they've been churning out since the "And Justice For All" days? and make gooey wads of cash in the process. The problem is, people aren't buying their bound for the heavy metal scrap heap, over-produced, uninspired, tired crap. And let's face it, their various commercial endorsements won't pay for the lifestyle they've become comfortably accustomed to. Resorting to lawsuits makes perfect sense, when you need spending money. But just one lawsuit isn't going to pay their bills. So, to aid Metallica, I've composed an open letter to the boys in the band, with suggestions as to whom else they might sic their lapdog lawyers on... (More...)

Clowns Take on God in Mysterious Annual Ceremony
Last Sunday's (the 6th) Grimaldi Service at a small church in East London was a red-letter day for clowns worldwide. About a hundred old-school red-nosed clowns made the sombre trip to darkest Dalston to pay their respects to clowns who died in the last year and to thank God for the gift of laughter in a bizarre ceremony presided over by the eccentric Reverend Clown Roly, resplendent in a garish red lumberjack shirt with oversized gold lapels.
