DOS & DON'TS

The problem with saying that marijuana doesn't lead to violent impulses is that only applies to the people who smoke it. Comments/Enlarge | See all


Here’s an argument for letting your kids do drugs at the earliest age possible. When people get into drugs too late in life they amalgamate all the things the desperate teenage drug addicts who runaway to the big city at 15 do; complete with the old "getting an STD on their first week in the big city from the Polish waiter" chestnut.

Collecting Hair and Then Collecting Stories About the Hair That Was Collected

WORDS BY MATHIEU BERENHOLC

This guy named Louis B. has been amassing a hair collection for six years. He claims to have upward of 400 bags of the stuff. He started when he was working in a salon and he hasn’t stopped since because… actually we have no fucking idea why he does this. But even during his three-month stay in a French prison last year (he won’t tell us what he was in for, but we suspect it was either for loving hair too much, which is a crime in France, or for stealing hair from a barber shop, which is a crime against nature), there he was, walking around asking for hair, filling Ziploc bags with whatever samples he could get his hands on. In fact, Louis got himself employed as the barber for his cell block and became a confidant to his fellow detainees, collecting shady stories along with filthy locks. Ew. Here are some of his favorites.

Roll over the numbers for the history of each ball.
