Dude, That’s Some Good $#!t

Check out this hilarious clip of a reporter unknowingly getting high while he does a story on the marijuana and cocaine burning behind him!

[update from Heywood]: According to you a YouTube comment, this is a clip from a British TV comedy called ‘Drop the Dead Donkey‘. Still; pretty freakin funny.

Only in California…

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

…would there be vending machines that sell marijuana. That’s right, Los Angeles, CA recently rolled out 2 herb-laden machines, where medical marijuana users can get access to the medicine they need, 24 hours a day.

Marijuana Vending MachineSay what you want to say about pot, but this is certainly interesting, and I will be curious to see how this experiment works out for all parties involved. Machines are ‘open’ for business 24 hours a day, and have security guarding them. Furthermore, potential consumers will have to check in and have prescriptions approved, have a photo and biometric fingerprint scan taken before making a purchase, and use a prepaid ‘credit’ card with dosage information pre-programmed in to prevent people buying more than their allotment.

Patients can buy 3.5 or 7 grams, up to 1 oz. a week, in 5 strains “including OG Cush and Granddaddy Purple, the mildly hallucinogenic forebear to Prince.” Perhaps we will see some of these products in vending machines in the future?

As one poster astutely asked, “Is there to be a regular vending machine next to the marijuana machine to cure the resulting munchies?” Another poster replied, “That’s a fantastic idea– this way they can sell Doritos for $20 a bag!” Simpy Classic.

I got this in a used bookstore. 1972. Naked Yoga. Awesome.
[click on the tiny photo for multiple images; NSFW, though nothing vulgar]:

Step 1 – Get a Persian rug.
Step 2 – Grow long, frizzy hair.
Step 3 – Strip.
Step 4 – Get comfortable with seeing your own buttocks hovering over your head.

Urban Non-Legends: FrankenBerry Stool (Number Two)

Friday, August 3rd, 2007

Last month I posted an Urban Non-Legends article about “FrankenBerry Stool” – the medical term given to false “blood in stool” readings caused by red food coloring (the term arose from the early years of FrankenBerry cereal, which had horrified parents rushing red-stooled children to doctors). Last month I tested this and it appears that they changed the recipe: FrankenBerry came out indistinguishable from Count Chocula.

A friend reported “a recent colorful outcome” with BooBerry cereal (FrankenBerry’s poltergeist counterpart). I got some and gave it a try.

The results of “Operation BooBerry”
Though BooBerry turns milk blue, the final outcome was wholly unexpected: it was quite colorful, but not blue at all.

In sum: “FrankenBerry Stool” cannot be achieved anymore (with FrankenBerry). And “BooBerry Stool” is spectacularly vibrant, but not blue – to be technical about it (because this is scientific research after all and I’m not enough of a sicko to post photos), it is Pantone 368 or hex# 77bd33 (thanks Chris).

On a related note – it’s uncanny how Al Franken looks like FrankenBerry and Scott Bakula looks like Count Chocula.
(Yes: I had a lot of free time on my hands to make these. I <3 Photoshop)

Eye in the sky

Friday, August 3rd, 2007

You can buy an Ewok treehouse from Free Spirit Sheres! “Eryn” is the wooden sphere and runs around $150,000, and “Eve” is the $45,000 fiberglass version. OR, if you’re in Vancouver Island area, you can rent one for $150 a night. I don’t know if I would call this environmentally friendly, it’s more like a neat way to convene with nature…AND you can pretend you’re the all-seeing eye in a giant tree monster.
