A few months back, our former Uproxx colleague Matt Ufford went to the Westminster Dog show with a mission to pet every dog there. From the similarly awesome ideas file, Vice sent a reporter who'd never done acid before to experience the Westminster Dog Show on acid. (Trying to name your indie band? You're welcome.) I love that they resisted the obvious temptation to over-stylize the video, though part of me does wish the guy had been tripping hairier balls.
Find the video here, it's hilarious:

This teenager tried to eat me in Buffalo, NY after i got out of my car and ran over to the scene of a car accident in which he drove through a fence, through a house and then into a truck! watch as he freaks out.
Stickying this thread because we can embed.
This is really fucking crazy: this kid is lucky he wasn't beaten:
Holy shit, is there a link to an article on this? What date did it happen?
In celebration of the greatest athletic achievement by a man on a psychedelic journey, No Mas and artist James Blagden proudly present the animated tale of Dock Ellis' legendary LSD no-hitter. In the past few years we've heard all too much about performance enhancing drugs from greenies to tetrahydrogestrinone, and not enough about performance inhibiting drugs. If our evaluation of the records of athletes like Mark McGwire, Roger Clemens, Marion Jones, and Barry Bonds needs to be revised downwards with an asterisk, we submit that that Dock Ellis record deserves a giant exclamation point. Of the 263 no-hitters ever thrown in the Big Leagues, we can only guess how many were aided by steroids, but we can say without question that only one was ever thrown on acid.
Sadly, the great Dock Ellis died last December at 63. A year before, radio producers Donnell Alexander and Neille Ilel, had recorded an interview with Ellis in which the former Pirate right hander gave a moment by moment account of June 12, 1970, the day he no-hit the San Diego Padres. Alexander and Ilels original four minute piece appeared March 29, 2008 on NPRs Weekend America. When we stumbled across that piece this past June, Blagden and Isenberg were inspired to create a short animated film around the original audio.
