    Yeah, if you see those, you’ve probably already gone Beyond, and are about to meet the gods.

    “Hey, get that feather outta my throat! I’m tryin’ to watch the dancing mushrooms, here!”

    Oh, speaking of which, look what has popped up in my backyard.

    It’s about lunchtime here. I’ve got a cast iron skillet, some butter, and some garlic salt. D’you reckon I should...

    ... nah, never mind. ;)

    Or the end of it.

    Reckon I ain't quite ready for that, just yet. ;)

    I'll meet you later, Claudius.

    I recall that in the show I Claudius Livia asked her family to remember the coin in the mouth for the boatman, otherwise he wouldn't row you across Styx. Regular crossing: denarius. Deluxe crossing: aureus.

    I'm not ready for the coin-in-the-mouth thing yet, either. So I'll stay away from mushrooms. Never tried Psilocybins, either. (Well not yet).
