That Is So NOT Fabulous

Kid Various has discovered the new meme du jour…. “meth mouth.”

Yes, apparently smoking crystal meth is really, really bad for your teeth. Follow the link above at your peril. It’s pretty frightening.

Apparently lithium, muriatic and sulfuric acids, ether, red phosphorus and lye are “key ingredients” of crystal meth (and here Kid Various was silly enough to think it was Vitamin A) and work to dissolve tooth enamel with great alacrity.

The Government says that you can go from looking like Vanna White to a resident of the British Isles in only a few short months.

Of course, the Government also says that marijuana will make you a homicidal killer.

And you don’t even have to smoke the crank to get meth mouth. Snorting crystal meth seems to be just as bad because it draws the corrosive substances down the nasal passages, where it drains into the throat and immerses the teeth in the poisonous “key ingredients” (where did they get that information, the nutritional data on the side of the box?)

What do we learn from this? If you’re going to do crystal meth, inject it for God’s sake!

Funny because Kid Various every so often gets “tooth decay dreams” where his teeth will just start falling out. *shiver* The good thing is that The Kid realizes that this will never happen, because he doesn’t smoke crystal meth, because, despite all rumour to the contrary, he is not gay.

How the ‘F’ did crystal meth become an identifiable facet of the gay culture along with Judy Garland and hair product?

Kid Various has been to his share of gay pride parades (only looking) and has never seen a float drive by with a gaggle of men smoking the rock. A gaggle of built men in rainbow thongs suggestively stroking 6 foot phalluses to the beat of the Weather Girls’ “It’s Raining Men,” yes. But smoking rock…never.

Although that guy walking down 5^th avenue in a g-string, feather boa and heels did look like he could use a set of veneers. (Can you imagine walking from 57^th street down to the Village in 8 inch heels? That guy was dedicated to the Cause.)

Maybe that dream represents a latent fear that Kid Various is gay!
