Yesterday I was simultaneously thinking about the Lizard King and Robocop which got me thinking about the old termbo "You have the right to trip balls" meme. So, let’s hear about some times you "tripped balls." I have an assortment of bad psychedelic stories, but probably the best/ worst was when I was 15 and got to spend five minutes as Mr. Mojo Rising.
It was the second time I took acid, and I took way more than I could handle which all culminated in what seemed like the entire Cooper City Police Department surrounded the park I was terrorizing with my bad vibes and theories on God.
I quickly discovered my theory of invincibility didn't hold any water when an attempt to walk through the sea of cops ended with me being slammed against one of their cars. They asked my name. I had no idea, so I blurted the first thing to come to my mind. "Jim Morrison." Words I believed as soon as they escaped my mouth. When they asked the year "1960 something." As they tried to force me into the back of a squad car I yelled "Why are you doing this? All I care about is my music" and held onto the car door for dear life. They pried my hands free, hogtied me, and tossed into the back of a cruiser. I was then transported to an ambulance, then taken to the ER by a EMT's I mistook for fishing buddies. They were the first and only people who seemed to be amused by me.
The ER was decorated to the hilt with Halloween decorations, it was October 30th, convincing me I was dead and hell. Earlier in the day I had been hit by a car further reinforcing the dead theory, compounded by the nurse telling me "This sure is heaven sweetie" when I asked if I was in hell. The first of many horrible acid trips but with the silver lining of getting to be my childhood hero Jim Morrison if only for a moment.
