If you stop this one at around 32:40, it's kind of a great little ad for how weed helps some folks with social anxiety. Too bad what happened to Scott Baio in real life.

And WORTH it! (This was probably not Northern Lights)

Approximately forty years ago the Harvard Lampoon did a People magazine parody that was so good I heard that People was interested in hiring one or more of the people involved in creating it. I wish I knew where my copy was. Since I don't, you'll have to trust my memory. In a list of upcoming shows/movies/specials (maybe Peoples Picks & Pans?) was a special called "Young and Blind" starring Scott Baio about the dangers of self abuse.

Delta 8 is my current weed variant of choice. But that's because normal Delta 9 THC doesn't do anything for me. I do not attempt to row a boat while using it.

I have rowed (paddled actually) many a boat while of the stoned persuasion.

Don’t try this at home, unless you live on a lake (in which case, carry on).

Get stoned and fish from my kayak all of the time.

Don't get stoned and try to operate comments.

Zap's avatar

Good advice. Instead get stoned and operate heavy machinery.

I had to Google Kim Reynolds.

So that's what happened to the little girl in Escape to Witch Mountain? I think I was better off not knowing.

I think I'll save the Baio thing for when I feel the need of an emetic.

Happy Saturday. :-)

If you can't find the link at the time, I'd recommend a bottle of Hobart Old and Muddy, which really opens up the sluices on both ends.

I could see getting so stoned that you try to ride your pony on a boat.

Obligatory link to a badass Johnny Cash song called Rowboat. He stole it from Beck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju4nu9Ho2MY

Pretending the Twitter files was the biggest free speech scandal in history was a gambit to try and resurrect my failing career. Here’s why I support Elon’s efforts to sue the ADL and ban mainstream Jewish groups from social media.

Man, they’re not even subtle anymore. Don’t watch PAB’s rants, but sometimes check out the pregame to see what RSBN is peddling to the great unwashed. Yesterday, on-the-scene reporter began nearly every sentence with ‘ Mr. Orban says…’, ‘Mr. Putin says…’ or ‘According to RT…’. Funny how they interchange their epithets for the Left (Commies, Marxists, fascists, tyrants) when, in fact, it seems that MAGA is nothing more than the Reds-under-the-bed that the other McCarthy railed about. “Real ‘Murkans”, my ass. Also, too, they posited that RU & friends (Xi, Modi, et.al.) are about to devalue the dollar, so buy some of this gold we’re selling as a hedge against the Great Depression that Cheeto went on to preview in his remarks.

Saw on MSNBC that one of the loonier infotainment networks was pushing fund-raising for Julie Annie and others like it was a news story. Every person introduced it the same words. Maybe Newsmax?

Commenters on SD rally YouTube were demanding that Sirius carry OANN. Miss the good old days, when Fox, Rush & Alex were the bete noires, and we knew where to find them. This shit is a pandemic, more contagious than measles and with more variants than COVID.

apparent ‘link’ unintended - it created itself!

It needs a space between et and al. (and et is not an abbreviation, so no period anyway.): et al.

Wait. He was too stoned to operate a rowboat but he was able to save his drowning friend? So I guess what I've learned is that pot makes you a great lifeguard but a shitty boater. Duly noted.

1. Reads scholarly paper on the Chaldean Oracles and early Neoplatonism

2. Googles the phrase "duplex transcendent"

3. Gets a lot of photos of nice-looking apartments

No, not that kind of "duplex transcendent," fucking Google

V4Virginia's avatar

I put the phrase in quotes. The first listing was like yours, but then there was a scholarly paper about Platonists and [not smart enough for this] so maybe that will work better.

ShrillKitty's avatar

Yeah, if you scroll way down the list there is something of relevance on Scribd. :)

" Hence the duplex transcendent stands for any God in an intellective procession, a procession which inherently involves the ..."

ShrillKitty's avatar

"... which inherently involves the Neoplatonists overcomplicating the shit out of things until theology is reduced to utter babble" XD

I have a sudden urge to get stoned in the johnboat on the pond, but the brush has grown so thick that nobody, including me, will walk up there. I was fixin' to build a jack shack overlooking the pond until the powerline maintenance crew came through and ruined the ambiance. Anybody wanna play fort in the woods with me? We can build you a jack shack overlooking a pond with poor ambiance, where you can get stoned in a rowboat.

Resource NW's avatar

Is the pond filled with leaches? 'Cause that will sell the deal!

Isn't that last line the chorus from a 60's psychedelic rock song?

I'm normally reduced to playing fort in the woods in the digital world, I'd love to do it for real.

Momo's avatar

It's an open invitation!

Momo's avatar

The ambiance isn't really that bad. Somewhere between a national forest and a national Superfund site.

So, relaxing but you'll get horrifying cancers?

Momo's avatar

No, it just LOOKS like you'll get horrifying cancers. What's the tick-borne illness that causes a red meat allergy? That's what I'm afraid of.

Robert Eckert's avatar

Lyme Disease? Not Lime Disease, that would cause a green fruit allergy.
