Actual real content from me shortly. I have about 4 articles in mid-workover, and yes, I really do write articles/essays that aren’t stream of consciousness. But this little exchange is hard to pass up sharing. Note that we’re discussing a file on textfiles.com, and I’m wondering if I’m wearing a little glowy green uniform with a funny hat and a nametag.

P.S. Don’t drink nicotine.

I was just wondering if you could help me a bit.

This is from the nicotine file of the anarchy thing, on your website. Make sense?

“Just collect a handful of cigarette butts and strip the paper from them, if you are a neat person. Soak them for several hours, if possible, in water.”

And what do you do after that? Do you have to boil the water to then get the nicotine out? Or can you just drink the water?

Please help.

Follow nothing from any file.

Why? What does it matter what I do, you don’t even know me.

Why does it matter what my opinion on the file is and what you need to do with it? You don’t even know me.

I don’t think I ever said it mattered what your opinion of the file was. I just asked you what happened in the next bit of it.
