Eighteen-year-old Matthew Rosenberg had used his cellular telephone Monday night to call his mom and tell her he tripped
Now see, if he had just stopped the sentence right there, he could have argued that at least he didn’t lie. Kids today don’t think these things through.
Did those names make you do a double-take, FG? Mark Rosenberg? His son, Matthew? I almost fell off the sofa until I realized it all took place in California!
Jill tells me her brother did almost the same thing when he was a kid. Except he didn’t call home on his cell phone as no one had invented them yet. And he really had a broken ankle. He was so stoned he just walked home on his broken ankle and got taken to the ER where they decided he would not be requiring any further sedation before they reset and casted him.

when one says “stoned”, is it really necessary to specify “on drugs”? just curious…

“Gorked”? Am I too old to know that one, at 23?

GC, I never even put that together in my mind! HA!
Patrick, I’d never heard that either. And I’m not 23.

He was also not allowed to use the car for several days.

Also, I’ve never heard anyone describe taking hallucinogens as being “stoned.” Wha? Tripping now = stoned? Gorked?

I never heard of it either, but if the urban dictionary groks “gork”, I grok it too.
