Pizza Slow, I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness,

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving, hysterical, naked,
dragging themselves through the clogged tubes at dawn looking for a cow to click,

Like lots of people I suppose, I think of who I was and what I posted more than a year or two ago to be, on average, a little cringe. More than five years old? A little embarassing. Ten or more years old? A little shameful. On average, of course. So it goes.

In spite of all that, or in order to grow, I've horded my embarassments from various platforms over the years and present them here for your avoidance. This is not a place of honor, and so on.
