To preface: 5th period, I have a study hall in another room. It is, in fact, in the room I co-teach in. Emily, the teacher whose room it is stays in there and usually has many visitors (students) coming and going...I don't mind, of course. Anyway, a student came in yesterday and we were all chit chatting and she looked at the board and said, "Um, who wrote that up there?" The board said, big as life "JENKEM". Emily said, "I don't know. Why is it bad?" Girl: "Yes. Erase it." Emily: "Is it something gross like (behind her hand) jizzum?" Me: "HAHAHAHA".
Well, to make a long story short, here is the Wikipedia explanation for it: Jenkem is an alleged hallucinogenic recreational drug composed of noxious gas formed from fermented sewage. That's right SEWAGE!!! POO!!! An inhalant. People out there are so gross and I guess hard up that they have stooped to a level where they INHALE POO!!! To get HIGH!!!??? This is real! I didn't make this shit (no pun intended) up!
My reaction when "girl" told us about this: "What the heck ever happened to good old fashioned weed?!" Oy vey!
Update: Apparently jenkem was originally discovered when Zambian children were "doing" it. American media got a hold of the news and there was a "surge" in American teens trying it but no reports of the "problem" have occurred since 2007. Still GROSS!!! Will teens today just try anything? Have they no cuth?! (In their choice of drugs?)
Oh boy, accumulating snow on the way Friday...should be interesting. Bubba will be happy.
In other news...a mother in Connecticut found her daughter dead...along with the daughter's newborn triplets. How awful. Even worse? The family didn't know the daughter was even pregnant. Apparently she didn't tell anyone and gave birth at home in secret. My question: How the hell do you hide a TRIPLET pregnancy? Crazy. Sad.
K - I'm out.
