Isn't interstate transportation of taxable items illegal?

What are you talking about Elspode? That's horse puckey!

wolf · 04-21-2003, 01:23 PM

I think our heroin and crack are cheaper. (to get back to the phila v. midwest discussion)

Here in KC, people from the Kansas suburbs would come across the state line and buy their liquor because our booze taxes were lower, plus we had Sunday sales. A few times over the years, Kansas revenooers would stake out the stores along State Line Road and when a Kansas plate came driving out of the store parking lot, they'd pop 'em and charge them with transporting untaxed liquor across state lines...

I've heard it is the same with cigs in some Eastern states, but they probably won't be staking out St. Louis!

Going to Illinois to buy alcohol on Sunday was no big deal back in the day (before Sunday liquor sales were allowed here in 1993).

PLCB has tried to get tougher on it in PA, but they're not very good at it. It's not very hard to drive into NJ or DE and buy alcohol and slip back into PA.

The whole deal on cigarettes, from what I understand, is an issue of resale. I mean, if I'm on a road trip, and I buy some smokes, and happen not to finish them before I cross a state line (and of course, it's still legal to smoke in public and while driving), what the fuck can they really do to me, ya know?

I've heard of people driving from MD to VA to buy smokes...I wouldn't know anything about that though.

Wolf, well duh! 9th and Indiana...good stuff, from what I hear. Getting anything in Philadelphia is not too terribly hard, truth be told...drugs, guns, etc. Getting a gun here isn't an issue, but drugs...it really depends. Weed is a breeze, but if you want harder shit, then you either have to know folks, or head to Chicago or towns along the I-57 corridor between Sikeston and Chicago.

I was kidding anyway, Syc, but I do appreciate the skinny on scoring in your neck of the woods! Hell, its been so long since I've done anything stronger than Diet Coke, I've begun to feel like I've betrayed half of my past life or something. Its kind of nice to be able to sit in on such a conversation again, even second hand.

On the other hand, I'm still alive, so perhaps I've made the right decision.

Whit · 04-21-2003, 03:55 PM

Ya know, I've never done drugs, (no really) but people have asked me if I could hook them up in three diferent states. I guess the long hair just screams 'druggie'.

04-21-2003, 03:57 PM

Me too. Having long hair and a beard must automatically mean I'm a pot dealer.

You are, you dopehead.

So how the fuck is everyone tonight?

I had a fantastic meal at El Maguey tonight with my dear friend April. Man, that place has to be the best sit-down Mexican joint in St. Louis. Friendly staff, good service, great food, and the 46 oz. margarita. And reasonably priced.

April and I have been friends since we worked together at Commerce Bank...so that's been about 5 years now. She may be the quietest friend I have. If you didn't know her, you might think she's mean or snooty, b/c she doesn't talk a lot. Unlike me, who will talk just to hear myself.

So, my cousin Eric calls today...I haven't talked to him in like 4 or 5 years. We're only 3 months apart, and used to hang out a lot as kids. He calls, and my stepdad hands me the phone. I just start talking, and after about 2 minutes, it dawns on me that I have no idea who the fuck I am talking to. I finally had to break down and ask.

My 'rents have a CD burner on their computer, which is nice. There have been some songs that I've been wanting to put on CD without buying the whole CD. So I've been doing that off and on the past few days. The problem is that my parents only use a dial-up, so it takes about 20 minutes to download a song. I can't blame them for using dial-up though...they don't pay for it. (A friend of my brother's from high school runs an ISP here in town.)

Tomorrow, I'll probably look through some more junk that I still have left here, and will feast on Imo's tomorrow night. But for now, I have to make hotel reservations for Friday and Saturday night.

Adios...

Elspode · 04-21-2003, 11:10 PM

No one ever asks me if they can score anymore, and I've had long hair for thirty years, minus the six I spent in a job where I couldn't...and some sort of facial hair for all but about five of those years.

I think it may have something to do with the fact that I now drive a minivan and have a lot of gray in my beard.

I am *so* un-fucking hip, it isn't funny.

Oh yes it is.

Of course, I'm one to talk eh?

Elspode · 04-22-2003, 09:06 AM

Okay, well, its funny in the same sort of way that watching people get hit in the nads by a softball on America's Funniest Home Videos is funny...

elSicomoro · 04-22-2003, 09:28 AM

Ah, both of you shut the hell up. You guys reek of coolness, so I don't want to hear any more nonsense.
