Last Call: ‘Happy 420′ Edition
By
With the moniker Weed Against Speed, I would be remiss if I did not at the very least acknowledge 4/20. So there you go. Happy 420, everyone.
If you don’t know but have ever wondered what the meaning is behind the 420 phenomenon, read this.
Enjoy.

Great news, ladies…she’s single!
Alright, kiddos. Happy hanging. Have a toke on me, but only if that’s your gig, man.

Convienient how it worked out that you have today
@Gally, Kismet dude.
Holy Mammaries Batman.
Big big win for Inter today. Somehow I had a feeling that Barca wasn’t going to respond well to “The Bus Trip”. Maybe it’s just me, but just because you can play the games doesn’t mean you should play the games. It’s one thing to play your national league games, another to be traveling all over a locked down Europe to play a Champs League game.
Last nights LA-Vancouver game you ask? Yeah the reffing, not so good. Two (maybe three, I didn’t get a good replay of the third) interference calls clearly missed by the refs on Vancouver in the first two periods, while the “kicked in” goal probably should have been ok. It says “distinct kicking motion” in the rule book, but the NHL has mostly been enforcing any leg motion that directs the puck to the net. Sedin pushed his leg out farther to get the deflection then he would just stopping or circling up, but there sure wasn’t a “distinct kicking motion”.
@Martin, fuck the Canucks.
@Gally, I agree. They have a way of leading with their elbows on checks that I find distasteful.
Also, Lorena Ochoa retires from the LPGA….a moment of stunned silence that the LPGA is currently playing would be good here. I thought their season began in May or soemthing.
Anyone else watching Roto-Tudor on Jeopardy?
@Sculptor?!?,
No, it’s only 4o’clock here. I’m watching Castle on demand.
@Martin, okay, i promise no spoilers then.
@Sculptor?!?, huh?
@Nonpopulist, one of our (now semi-) regular commenters, Roto-Tudor, is on Jeopardy.
@Sculptor?!?, damn it, I don’t get ABC. Stupid DirectTV
@Nonpopulist, how in hell do you NOT get ABC on Directv?
They won’t give me a rural waiver. In other news I live rurally.
@Nonpopulist, ugh. and you can’t get at least the national feed (east or west)?
@Sculptor?!?, I have that for NBC and Fox.
How the fuck is Edinson Volquez allowed to serve his 50-game PED suspension while he’s on the DL for Tommy John surgery. If I ever have Tommy John surgery, I should just start smoking crack.
@Old King Clancy,it’d be cheaper than the pain meds at least.
@Old King Clancy, that does seem a bit….off, doesn’t it? Suspending someone while they can’t play….why not just hand out suspensions to be served in the off season?
Hey weirdos.
geek time – Dr. Who – i’ll be back later.
@Sculptor Where were you in Chicago this weekend?
And what do you think of the new Doctor?
@Rob in WI, I was at the Chicago International Miniatures show. Crossing my fingers that i get a table at next year’s show – it’s fantastic and heavily attended (and the punters have $$$$). And despite my original hesitation about matt smith, I LOVE the new doctor. I still miss Tennant (and probably always will), but this dude’s great.
@Sculptor?!?, Damn. I was at c2e2 down at McCormick all weekend. C’est la vie.
I was unsure as well, but the first two episodes with Matt Smith are just fantastic. And I just adore Amy Pond.
@Rob in WI, they just started airing on BBCA last Sat. I caught up on a rerun tonight, seeing as how hotels don’t carry the Beeb. So we’re looking forward to episode 2 this Sat.
@Sculptor?!?, Well, there are, of course, alternative methods to watching.
Also, c2e2 showed the first two episodes.
@Rob in WI, haha, cheater.
wow. I want Boston to win and all, but Ron Washington just got shafted on a bad call. That should have been a ground-rule double, scoring only one run (and leaving runners on 1 and 3). Be interesting to see if the Umps fix it during the pitching change or not…
