Tooling along the main drag on a Saturday night in Vegas. Two good old boys in a fire-apple red convertible. Stoned. Ripped. Twisted. Good people." 
It shows the mindset of the characters in the story. ]]> 2022-04-20 18:44:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kieranstockman1/t4xozv0378cei35z/wish/2150847424 kieranstockman1 https://padlet.com/kieranstockman1/t4xozv0378cei35z/wish/2150851049 "We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can." Once again, this quote really shows the attitudes of our main characters. ]]> 2022-04-20 18:46:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kieranstockman1/t4xozv0378cei35z/wish/2150851049 kieranstockman1 https://padlet.com/kieranstockman1/t4xozv0378cei35z/wish/2150856192 "Did you see what God did to us?"

This quote shows just how committed the main characters are to having a "good time" in Vegas, despite knowing how bad it can be to be on Ether, they know they will take it anyway. ]]> 2022-04-20 18:53:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kieranstockman1/t4xozv0378cei35z/wish/2150860435
