So, this is the artifact of my reckless youth. It’s a lawn gnome, but it’s not a gnome, it’s an armadillo, in fact 2 armadillos. I stole them off a lawn in the suburbs…This was a phase in my life where I –completely reckless. I lived in a house in Rogers Park with four roommates that I met on Craigslist. Yeah, I should have died….One night I was really high on drugs, and saw this. So, I decided this needed to be mine, and I actually decided to name them Stanley and Poe… The great part about them is Stanley fits two joints perfectly…Stanley and Poe travelled with my drugs everywhere. We went to many music festivals all around the country, and I took pictures with them everywhere. And everyone thought it was so cute I was taking around this little statue that was filled with weed.

This belongs in the Museum of Drug Paraphernalia
