You made my freaking day, Eddie!

Just got back from the homestead, got skunked by the fishies and there was a major family firestorm to round out the weekend. So, I'm sitting at my desk preparing to whine and snivel on my blog and you give me the cure!

Thanks a lot, my friend! You are a godsend!

Smoke 'em if you got 'em!

An ex-boyfriend of mine (who had a major stick up his bum about pot) once asked me what pot did to people when they smoke it.

I answered: "Well, when people drink, you never know what kind of drunk you're going to get. Some people get mean. Some people get slutty. Some people get sappy.
Pot is the great equalizer. Everyone who gets stoned gets hungry, stupid and giggly."

Well, except for the people who get paranoid... they're no fun anyway, stoned or not.

David - Sorry to hear about the lack of fish and the rioting relatives.

Am glad this little post brightened your day pal.

,,,,and if'n I had 'em I'd be smokin' 'em.

Grandpa Eddie said...

skyewriter - You are so right. I don't ever remember any stoner getting into a fight....or ever getting a speeding ticket. Maybe forget what they were doing....which still happens occasionally.

I always enjoyed smokin' a bowl more then suckin' down alcohol. Always felt better the next day, too.

That's another thing, no hangover...see what I mean about still forgettin' shit.

I love Family Guy!

Do you remember the episode where Peter is riding an elephant for Stewie's b.day party - he has hijacked a parade - and he says, "Hey, look everybody! The two symbols of the Republican party! An elephant, and a white guy afraid of change!"

I love Family Guy. I haven't seen this one, so thanks for posting it. I don't get why people have a problem with pot. I've never smoked it or cigarettes for that matter myself, but I could care less. I think it's no more debilitating than alcohol and not any worse for you. So long as you're not driving, who cares?

And as you said, have you ever seen someone who is stoned, mad and wanting to fight? I haven't.

I think it's just the religious wackos who can't stand for anyone to be happy. Found a country with Puritans and this is what you get.

And he said that in just one breath!

Evidently Anonymous doesn't understand the the idea of "Post a Comment", he/she seems to think this is the place to post a dissertation.

Grandpa Eddie said...

Riot Kitty - I haven't seen a lot of the show but, yes, I do remember seeing that one....and I remember laughing my ass off.

Grandpa Eddie said...

A World Quite Mad - Actually it is much less debilitating than alcohol, most people can still physically function. The batshit crazy religious right-wingnuts are the main reason it's illegal...it's the Devil's weed don'tcha know.

Grandpa Eddie said...

David - I'm sorry if you agreed with what Anonymous "said" but I started reading his/her/it's "post" and decided I really didn't want someone posting in my comment section. If he/she/it would have left a comment and a link to the post at their blog, that would have been much different. Long comments is one thing, that dissertation was a wee bit too much.

I'm not a regular fan of the show, but given my pedigree, I found this segment to be particularly funny...
