The Food and Drug Administration banned clove cigarettes this week.

The Desis in my office are going to have to start importing their own.

Do you think I could sell the six cloves I still have from high school?

I don't think of clove cigs as hipster - they're forever linked with 14 year old alterna-girls from junior high for me.

American Spirits, despite the cost, seem to be the hipster brand these days. So healthy they are!

Not to mention roll-your-owns, though that trend seems to be a little less prevalent than it was a couple years ago...

And don't forget to keep voting for the mommy do gooders to make slaves out of you.

Does this mean goths will die out next? A man can hope, right?

That explains the empty smokes rack at the liquor store.

Grapleberry, are you saying that Tom Waits is a douche? Not nice.

God, I fucking hate hipsters.

If anybody needs me, I'll be updating my LiveJournal with this terrible news.

I suppose he would if Tom Waits was trying to look like an albino male impersonating teenager

Me too.

Sigh.

I'll be in my room listening to Tones on Tail in the dark and weeping softly.

The outside of the goth/industrial clubs will never smell the same.

I'm with you Alison. I will miss my glorious Cloves. I've never picked the path of the outlaw drug dealer... But now... Now I've been forced by The Man to live outside the law.

I mean, I got Vampire: The Requiem campaigns to run bitches! You can't be a fucking Storyteller on basic smokes.

Canada won't let me down. The land of syrup, health-care, and cloves. Glorious cloves!
