You have been warned.

Like Pocky? Want to try all the flavors?

Don't.

Stop.

Realize that it's just frosting on a stick shaped cookie.
And insanely overpriced.
Two dollars something for Pocky DESSERT. Let me tell you now. There is a total of 9 sticks in there. Pocky MARBLE is a bit cheaper for 12 sticks. The ones most worth it would probably be the Thin Pocky.
I have wasted a lot of money in the past...

Today at school, we had a different kind of assembly called "Every 15 Minutes."
What happens is a full simulation of what happens when you drink and drive. Minus the crash.
That means an audio BAM!! And then, 2 totalled cars with drama kids acting either hurt or dead. Real firetrucks, real policemen, real paramedics. And real coroners. That part was just kind of funny: a giant white van rolls up and two men with grey hair dressed in suits step out...

The acting was... a little bad, if you ask me, but how much can you expect from high school students? And the crash was so fake. The two cars were ruined. They were supposed to be in a parking lot or something; the setting keeps changing. Very confusing. But you cannot get that much damage to a car unless you're going over 60 or something. Which they clearly were not because witnesses on foot called them in.

I explained poorly, I know, but there wasn't much too it. Oh, a helicopter came to take one kid away?
There's a follow-up tomorrow, to watch the parents identify the body and the funeral and all that so you can really feel the impact.
Don't drink and drive!
Don't drive while sleepy either! Did you know that seventeen hours of sustained wakefulness leads to a decrease in performance equivalent to a blood alcohol-level of 0.05%?
Sleep!

I am new to reading your blog, but I just wanted to say that this was so refreshingly cynical. You are a true visionary of the future, friend :D
