I was doing my daily routine today of checking fail blog and all that stuff and I saw this one on Engrishfunny.  I lol'd.  I lol'd hard actually.  Could you imagine you are trying to get into a club and the bouncer says "Please present your octopus" instead of "ID Please"?   

EDIT Riiight, I forgot to tell you, I have my army weekend this weekend and we are staying out in the field, so I'll see you Monday

Well, before I go on my Marijuana tangent (not a rant, I promise) I have a few things I wanna pimp a bit harder than usual   First off, =Romaji is taking fleece hat commissions!  They look really great and I ordered one from him yesterday   Next, I would like to draw your attention tooooo: C.R.E.A.T.E Challenge!  Loads of great prizes to be won so why not go check it out?

Also, next Friday (November 14th) at 7PM we are having another Anime Trivia Chat!   I have some great goodies to give out, but I'll let you know more next week

Ok!  Lets talk pot!  I think that pot should be legalized, straight up.  Here is why.  First off, the government could tax the shit out of it like they do with cigarettes and booze so that money would be going back into the system.  And, people of all ages would happily go to the store and spend X amount of dollars to get a pack of joints.  Now, people are at home, smoking the weed and getting.... the munchies!  What this does is make the snack food industry boom cause people are now spending more money on Doritos and the like.  More money back into the economy!  WIN WIN!  So now we have Doritos being bought in record numbers and its being taxed to high (no pun) hell!

There are down falls to legalizing it though.  For one, we would have to put "second chance" exits on highways.  "Oh shit man... that was the exit I wanted.  Oh, look, second chance! "  This would be annoying surely, but it would create jobs which would pay workers and then they would turn around and buy the weed too.  So their money is now spent on the weed, its being taxed and Doritos are being bought!  So this really isn't a problem, its more of a WIN WIN!  Again!

And what high person gets into fights?  Really?  They are lazy and want to become one with the couch   And, even if they want to go out, they won't drive cause the lazies has kicked in hard core.  But, lets say they do drive, they are only going 20 miles an hour   But, regardless, they shouldn't be driving (serious moment here).

On a realistic level, the only reason I see that they couldn't legalize it is because you couldn't test for it through a Breathalyzer and what not.  Lets use my friend for instance.  Pots legal and he decides to smoke on Saturday night with his buddies watching the baseball game.  Well, Tuesday he's out driving his work van and gets into an accident.  They do a test and Boom!  He pops hot for pot.  He wasn't high at the time, he smoked it on Saturday, but since its in your system for so long he would still pop hot.  So unless they can come up with a test that shows if you are high right this minute, it probably won't become legal

Thats my thoughts on the matter   Its a joking journal, but at the same time I see limited ramifications of legalizing it.  Its probably bad for you, but so is booze and cigarettes and those are legal

TL;DR Pot should be legal, it would be great for the economy

Well, the new Repeating Contest is under way and this time around the theme is Motherboard. There are a few entries now, so check them out here.

Question time!
Do you think pot should be legal?

I think you know my thoughts on this

Good Nurse

A motorcycle  patrolman was rushed to the hospital with an inflamed appendix.

The doctors  operated and advised him that all was well.  However, the patrolman kept  feeling something pulling at the hairs in his crotch. Worried that it might be a needed second surgery the doctors hadn't told him about, he finally got  enough energy to pull his hospital gown up enough so he could look at what was  making him so uncomfortable.  Taped firmly across his pubic hair were  three wide strips of adhesive tape, the kind that doesn't come off easily.  Written in large black letters was the sentence:

"Get well  soon....from the nurse in the Jeep you pulled over for speeding last week."
