Welcome to our new morning feature where we rip off the best of the internet and present it to you as a precious gift-post, topped with a bow we bought pre-tied from CVS and attached with an adhesive strip, ready to go and be consumed with your first coffee/tea/quickie of the day. Voila! Morning magic!
- R&B singer, Ray- J (Brandy’s younger brother, Kim Kardashian sex tape co-star, and poor woman’s Nick Cannon) tossed out of the Hyatt Regency in D.C., when management was alerted to the possible presence of weed and some new drug called “Boat”. Google tells me “boat” is a form of PCP. TMZ

Michel Fournier <—– Loser!! |

This dude had no problem….
US army captain Joe Kittinger did this in 1960. He took a balloon into the atmosphere and then free fell all the way back to Earth. Suck it Fournier. <—— WINNER! |

Can’t help thinking about this classic SNL sketch: (sorry about the advertisement)
Just come round my hood haha
May 28, 2008 at 9:29 amTechnically if Kittinger free-fell all the way back to earth he’d splatter.
Sucks for Fournier, but he was going to go an additional 6 miles higher (further into space?) than Kittinger. Maybe next time.
May 28, 2008 at 9:44 amI thought “boat” was just pot laced with pcp, no?
May 28, 2008 at 9:55 amfrom some drug slang website:
boat - PCP
boat - 1000 pills of ecstasy
also from urban dic:
1. love boat 54 up, 12 down
weed soaked in elmbalming fluid and laced with PCP. gives you scary ass trips. stay away from this shit, kids.
“that love boat is some whack shit”
May 28, 2008 at 10:27 amboat aka love boat is weed soaked in embalming fluid and or laced w/pcp. it’s not new at all. it has been around since the 80s….at least in DC.
May 28, 2008 at 11:09 ammmmm, formaldehyde and angel dust. i prefer the term ‘donk’ or ‘green’.
fun fact - pop rocks had a rival candy called space dust which were cancelled due to being associated with angel dust. why? because people are stupid.

May 28, 2008 at 12:26 pmDang, DJ Stereo Faith beat me to it. Anyway, ain’t nothing “new” about boat. I remember dudes talking about that back when I was in high school (which was 13 years ago.)
May 28, 2008 at 12:28 pmRay J may be a poor woman’s Nick Cannon but isn’t Nick Cannon a poor woman’s Usher?
May 28, 2008 at 12:30 pmBoat aka Loveboat aka Sherms aka Lovely is weed or cigs dipped in embalming fluid. There used to be a go-go song in the 80s calling out boat.
PCP goes by dust and whatever any dude who’s on PCP and speaking in tongues may call it.
Anyone know where I can get some boat?
