Comment: Got shrooms? THIS guy is shroomin' and he's a local!

My comments from the NDN website:

Oh, I'm sure Zach will be fine. I don't know him or the other kids involved. But people recover after newspaper articles. You go through the system, pay whatever fines you are owed, serve whatever time the law says you need to serve, stay on your probation for whatever they say, take flak from family and friends, gain some friends, lose some others, and life moves on.

Hopefully, lesson learned. Better to make small mistakes now when you're young than to make big mistakes later on.

Meanwhile, my little tribute to his police photo (it's all in good humor, as "this too shall pass") can be found at:

If it bothers any family, just lemme know (click "Post a new reply" at the bottom of that page) and I can take the last name off.

It's just that his full name and pic and situation just goes together so perfectly (from a marketing point of view) - he'll be a hit in college. If you get some tshirts made (support your local tshirt making businesses - there's plenty in town that'll do it - just look up PRINTING like

and word spreads to whatever college he goes to (he has to go to college, man - I went to college with kids who looked like him 17 years ago and they were always the smartest beat-the-system type kids who could get the grades but could also have a good time) - he'll socially fly right through college.

"If you've got something that makes you 'stand out' from the crowd, use it to your advantage until you can 'stand out' in the ways you WANT to stand out."

For you have to stand out - to be out_standing.

But don't worry - I'm not getting any shirts printed up
