Extremely hungover in Czech Republic 2013. Desperate for blow, the local sketch ball told me "here no cocaine, only speed paste" didn't know you were supposed to hot plate the paste into a powder to snort, and just took tootsie roll sized bites off it all night.

brain was a lightning rod and I couldn't feel my feet. Our host later said he was going to shoot me in the head if I didn't fuck his wife. Boy those Czech people have a wild sense of humor. I chose abstinence and got 20 mins of the worst sleep Iever had. I woke up next to Dan'l
