") (Is "West Williamsburg" a real neighborhood?)

-Face-peel facepaint (one of several from the 3rd Ward/Land of Ash party) ("We had a fart contest & freestyle battle in the line, I was part of the Zombie Terrance & Phillip duo with the tremendous blue Care Bear... The reason I ducked out of there so quickly...I went to the bathroom and when I came out I was handed a beer with X in it. THAT didn't result in fun times, as whatever the MDMA was cut with spun my head rapidly into a tizzy, and quickly thereafter into a taxicab. Normally, this would result in incredible times... but whomever cut that X was a douche supremo. Anyways, you were a blast and your friends were wicked cool and I'd love to chill again (as would my friends). SO, let's be friends...I owe you another 8 bars worth of freestyle.")
