Drug Rehab Rappers!

I know I shouldn't find this so funny but I do, I really really do.

The eBay listing states:
"Medi-Disc, 1960s. "Drugs Won't Get It, People Will: An Educational Record About Narcotic Addiction" features four ex-addicts "rapping" about addiction and recovery at Gaudenzia House. Sticker on front says "Compliments of Donald O. Oesterling, State Senator, 21st District," along with a stamp that says roughly the same thing. I find it fascinating and baffling that the record was donated by United Mine Workers of America. Were Pennsylvania miners particularly susceptible to drug addiction?"

Yes, that's right.. "four ex-addicts "rapping" about addiction and recovery".. I have met quite a few current and ex-addicts wandering the streets of our fair city, usually either coming out of or going into a drug rehab centre (and by met them, I mean tried to avoid them.. They tend to be quite violent if they decide you have looked at them the wrong way around here..) and I have yet to meet one that can speak clearly at a slow pace let alone trying to spit out lyrics in a "phat stylie" (I can't believe I just said that..) so the idea of someone putting them on vinyl and releasing it seems ridiculous until you see that there was a senator behind it all.

Those crazy senators eh!?!

*By the way I do actually know some ex drug addicts who are perfectly normal but that wouldn't make this blog half as comedic now would it?

Now there's a loaded question!

Is this going to be like one of those "does my ass look big in these" kind of questions? If it is then I plead the fifth..

I suppose the best description I can give on first impressions is a little bit crazy but a great person to know on a night out!

Isn't this how Snoop Dog got into the 'game'?

Looks like this rehab center is legit: www.gaudenzia.org

Its not surprising to see the good senators name all over the record, a little research showed that he actually has an Elk Lodge Public Relations Trophy named after him.

Keepin' it real in rehab. NICE!

NOOOO!! Never EVER Mention that movie on this blog again!!!

Ahh Lushy, you've spoilt it now! I was sitting here thinking about little people and the physics of cantilevered cunnilingus positions and you introduce images of diddely-eye shamrockery and leprechauns... Ewww to be sure to be sure!

Touchy, touchy! ;)

Fine. That was the obvious joke, and now you are making me get creative with midget porn titles. Look up "Midgets Take Manhattan (from Behind)"

August 09, 2005 10:58 PM  
Blogger Adeptus said...

LOL, the closest I get is the Muppets Take Manhattan. But I think they're the ones that get taken from behind... BY A PUPPETEERS HAND! :oO

Blogger Lushy said...

Do they make muppet porn?

Wait a second! Did you say cantilevered cunnilingus positions? ahahahaha!

Sorry Lushy, but Darby O' Gill is the reason why only 2 years ago an American I was talking to in a pub on her first day in the country spent fifteen minutes telling me she was so surprised because she was SURE all of the streets in Dublin were cobble-stones..

I am not making this up, she thought the capitol of Ireland didn't have proper streets!

I don't think you will find a single Irishman\woman\midget who has ANYTHING positive to say about Darby and his little shits.

I did indeed. Try saying it fast three times (with your mouth full) ;o)

LOL Gambl0r. Yes, I was lucky to get the electric in last year. And I'm glad they got rid of the cobbles. My cart was falling to pieces!

Hehe, I've heard they are putting in that New Fangled "Mains" water supply. Something to do with not haveing to go out to the well every other week.

Oh lord. Are you kidding me? Had I known that someone was THAT stupid, I never would have brought it up. Perhaps I'm too optimistic that people understand the difference between reality and ancient Disney movies. Wow. My sincerest of apologies. *shakes head in dismay*

You found the muppet porn entirely too quickly, Adeptus. :)

LOL, you b****x. Here's something else you might find interesting. I found it in the bottom of my favourites box. You know, the old shoebox into which I throw the slips of paper I write URLs on.
