My bowl with Skip

Today, we shared a bowl with The Skipper.

Skip came into the room and sat quietly on the couch. He passed the time eagerly chiming in with smug expertise on any subject we happened to be talking about. A co-worker's knock on the door inspired him to hide the bong at a slower pace than a bong should reasonably be hidden. Not that there was any reason whatsoever to hide a bong in our 420 friendly atmosphere.

Finally the time came; Skip was passed said bong.

He looked at the 3 foot marvel of glass engineering. Filtration chambers and ice traps glistened under the fluorescent lights. Skip took a deep breath. He let it out. Another. Another. Then, diving in face first, Skip struck the lighter and took a hit. It was seldom seen hit, a faint wisp of smoke fluttered ever so briefly before the carb was released. That amount of smoke would have easily filled a teacup.

Skip inhaled deeply and rocked back, his eyes rolled back in his head like someone being choked out.

Perhaps it was the hit that motivated Skip to share his extensive use of various coding techniques and his preference for open source CMS's. He was inclined to share this last bit twice, making crystal clear his stance on the matter. The Skipper's admiration for Joomla was at the formost of the discussion.

Everyone with a modicrum of coding knowledge froze in horror.
