Yes, thus my comment about suicide, thank you.

Of course... now... that I'm actually thinking... could also be a Kool Aid Acid test reference...

Instead of:

Up the Creek without a paddle...................In the creek

That's what I'm talking about ....................That's what I talk about

Get a taste of your own medicine................. A taste of medicine

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.........................

If you can't stand the heat......

I think that is the only part of it he knows.
