High schools need to update their anti-drug programs to show videos like these as incentive to never take shrooms or you'll turn into a skinny horse-headed guy wearing nothing but suspenders and a codpiece.

It is odd that choggie took great offense at the description of this previously sifted vid.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Pretty toxic mushrooms:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanita_muscaria

I like this part:

The active ingredient is excreted in the urine of those consuming the mushrooms, and it has sometimes been the practice for a shaman to consume the mushrooms, and the rest of the tribe to drink his urine: the shaman, in effect, partially detoxifying the drug (the sweat- and twitch-causing muscarine is absent in the urine).[52] This was also not an uncommon practice in Siberia, where the poor would consume the urine of the wealthy, who could afford to buy the mushrooms.[52] If a fly agaric is eaten, it is usually not fresh, but in its dried or cooked form, where ibotenic acid is converted to the more stable and far less poisonous muscimol.

that sounds incredibly like a reverend mother purifying the water of life. <spooky> or <thievery> or both

When I was little we went to a sea side resort, we ate at the cafe and noticed a family had picked some mushrooms to eat. Some of them were Amanita, one of the kids got poisoned and died.

*requeue

Sorry, but the requeue invocation has been removed; you must use promote instead - ignoring requeue request by sometimes.

Thanks. Now I won't be able to sleep for a week.

Moving this video to sometimes's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 3 days.

this may sound odd coming from me, but I don't think using a popular member's username to push a video through is a good form of "quality control". Sorry for being a stick in the mud.

You'd have to be hating yer liver to mess with Amanita Muscaria, and pretty desperate for a ragged trip-Stropharia Cubensis is safe as milk.....still hard on yer filter if you have a compromised system-wouldn't suggest any mushrooms for folks with liver problems.....Or, for folks so full of their own bullshit that they have become incapable of enjoying the ride......

Believe me, I had nothing to do with sometimes'pimpming, but I have everything to do with moving this appreciated accolade, outta the queue......(I'm not that unhealthily skinny, by the way)

Amanita Muscaria(Fly Agaric)

Not really easy to confuse the two-

The Final Fantasy music puts this over the top for me.
