Duff McKagan wishes these were air hockey pucks, and his mouth was one of the goals–in the highest scoring air hockey game EVER!Addicted to Girl Scout Cookies? You’re not alone; Former Guns ‘n Roses/current Loaded bassist Duff McKagan, who was once addicted to drugs and booze, has a new habit to break, thanks to one of his daughters. Writes Duff, over on SW’s Reverb blog: “When you quit alcohol, there is still a huge craving for all the sugar you’ve just cut out, and for me it’s a constant battle. Plenty of times I have downed a whole family-sized Hershey’s chocolate bar with almonds in less than 10 minutes, much as I used to down a gallon of vodka. I always feel like absolute shit after these episodes, so I really make an effort to just not have chocolate or cookies in the house. If my wife or kids have the stuff, I literally ask them to hide it from me and not even let me know about it at all. Oh, but I just ordered 90 boxes of Thin Mints and chocolate macaroon cookies from my sweet little daughter, didn’t I? They arrived two days ago. Fuuuuuuck!””That first night, I ate two whole boxes,” he goes on to acknowledge. “I felt like that guy with melted chocolate all over his face and hands, crying uncontrollably, watching a sappy soap while listening to Celine Dion. Yesterday, I gave the cookies away, sheepishly, to some friends. The things a father will do. The things my head will do to me in the throes of chocolate mania.”
