The “druggy” part was unintentional. But wouldn't it have been great if we could've gotten the surviving members of Morphine to perform before the film?

Term limits? I believe you're referring to the vote on term-PAPER limits. You voted not to have any more anxiety dreams about term papers and the measure passed, which is a good thing, because those dreams are an unnecessary hassle once you reach a certain age.

Oh. You woke up. Good for you. To celebrate, please enjoy the bouquet of flowers I'm sending to your house right now. Close your eyes when they arrive. I want you to guess what they are by their smell. Put your nose right in that bouquet. Don't be shy.

Dear Mayor Cass,

While I respect what you've been doing here in Bootleg City, I voted for term limits. Now you feel justified in repealing those limits? And then you have a big ol' druggy snooze-in at the city fields? Honestly, what am I to tell my children about this? What do I say - choke - to little Zuzu?

Respectfully yours,
Hammerpants

I gotta tell you – I thought the screening was great. My boss was a tad pissed initially about the week of work that I missed because of the opium coma, but once I explained that Dorothy and Toto were involved, he got a nostalgic look on his face and told me that all had been forgiven.

Thanks again Mayor.

P.S. – you're still a dick.
