Will eating my candy cane that has been sitting in weed for a day make me high?

Of course, you realize that eating a candy cane that has been sitting in weed will not get you high. THC just doesn't rub off onto people or things. It must be smoked.

The idea of magical thc candy canes intrigues me. I bet, in another world, another life, people would eat things next to weed, and believe in the magical weed radiance. The psychosomatic effect of it would make enough people belief it it works to make it work.

Send in your questions to eugenevdebs.blogspot.com . I will answer them all to the best of my abilities. (I will also make up questions, directed at myself. This was user submitted.)

Operation Red

In a crossover effort with our blog compatriot "A Day in the Life," we will be going to a certain fundamentalist school for a few days. A weekend trip back in time to the 19th century, when women weren't allowed to go outside if they were impregnated out of wedlock. A simpler time, when only white, male, land-owners had a voice.

My main goal for the weekend is to antagonize them the only way I know how to. With ACLU propaganda. Oh, and my some select passages from the Skeptic's Annotated Bible. I still need to memorize the passage about the chances of a rich man getting into heaven being less than a camel passing through the eye of a needle.

Special reader involvement session! What should our heroes do at the school? Just leave some ideas in the comments, and I'll try to implement them the best way I know how.

LF News, Issue 1

I'll start today off with some disturbing news.

http://www.ceasespin.org/ceasespin_blog/ceasespin_blogger_files/fox_news_gets_okay_to_misinform_public.html

This is a pro-read, but I'll quote the meat of the story. "The attorneys for Fox, owned by media baron Rupert Murdock, argued the First Amendment gives broadcasters the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on the public airwaves."

Maybe it's me and being old-fashioned, but shouldn't liars be more clever than this? It would have been worth the $400,000 to keep a company secret like this hidden. It's now on the record that Fox News deliberately lies to push the story that they want pushed, and that the government won't do anything to help us.

Pokerface.

Hello, and welcome to the Neglected Backwater. Today we will take a look at the underground community of rollerskating. You may now ask yourself: "There is an underground community of roller skaters," or: "Why would I want to know about roller skaters?" These are all legitimate questions that I may not be able to answer. There is only one thing that I can certainly provide, and that is laughter. The unique thing about the underground skating community is that it may not be any different than a convention of bus drivers. I will now highlight some of the more colorful characters one might see at their local skating rink.



Our first subject looked a lot like this man. I first noticed him when I was on the ground, after falling on my only real go around. As I was on my knees, this man skated backwards around me dancing. In the backstory we crafted for him, he was a dentist who could only relieve stress through skating. He was good. His favorite thing was to dance while skating backwards while talking to people on his cell phone. Words can't describe how impressive he was.




The only thing I really have to say about our second subject is that he invited us to his hundreth birthday party... in 34 years. He also hit on anything in the room. Didn't even care which set of parts they had. North Canton Roller Rink to him was some sort of pansexual bazaar. He wanted us to come back next week, and told us about the rounds he made around the state to go to roller rinks. I have to give a sympathetic shout out to Emily for this, she was a real trooper for not calling the police on him. We really should have asked if he lived within 1000 feet of a school or park.


I couldn't find a picture of a black man rollerskating that looked like the one we saw. Those pictures don't exist on google apparantly. Our mark was wearing a silk shirt. He would not skate. He stood in the middle on his skates, and danced to the music. He and his mother were the only non-white people there. This boy was good as well. In the backstory, he was a backup dancer for Kayne West music videos, as well as the man behind the vocals. Sadly for him, due to the auto-tune, no one knows or cares it was actually him.

















There were many more colorful characters. And maybe someday, we'll make a documentary about this underground. But for now, we just hope and dream that these people never reproduce.
