It isn't about whether pot is right or wrong to do. He broke his Dad's rules, and he got punished. Kid shouldn't be playing guitar hero anyways. He should be playing Rock Band instead.


very true...except about that rock band thing. i'd rather play ddr and be proud of being a loser, instead of being a loser who looks even more like a loser by pretending to play a plastic guitar to a selection of shitty songs.

ALIEN ANAL 12.18.2007 10:49 PM

davenotdead 12.18.2007 10:56 PM

Cantankerous 12.18.2007 11:02 PM

i'm inviting everyone over for an all night tournament just to see who gets injured first.

The pot-smoking and gift-retrieval are merely symptoms of underlying problems.

my dad would laugh at you.
then again, you should all be laughing at my dad for buying his 18 year old daughter a wii.

gmku 12.18.2007 11:17 PM

Depending on what I was smoking, I might be laughing back.

gmku 12.18.2007 11:19 PM

I don't there's anything funny about buying an offspring such a wonderful gift. I think it's fucking heartwarming.

Cantankerous 12.18.2007 11:31 PM

wii is pretty fun no matter what age. mario is the shit.
then again, childishness does run in the family.

davenotdead 12.18.2007 11:40 PM

childishness is the greatest thing ever. also, i will own all of you in the baseball... i'll even hit lefty, and i am terribly right-handed, but damnit if im not an amazing lefty in wii baseball. ... you may get me in bowling. i need to work on that. i think im actually better in real life in the bowling department

Cantankerous 12.18.2007 11:51 PM

i wish i was a little kid. then i wouldn't get harassed for having items of clothing and bedsheets with things like hello kitty, sesame street, felix, snoopy etc

Yeah, I didn't really like Super Mario Galaxy. I would have preferred something more like Super Mario Sunshine. That shit was fun.

But I'm breaking out Metroid Prime 3: Corruption tonight. The dude at the Blockbuster told me it was good. He better not have been lying.

yes.

that's the first step of critiquing that little drama on accurate grounds. the pot-smoking might not necessarily be "a problem", taking the presents away as a tit-for-tat is not necessarily a problem either-- it could be a simple everyday conflict of the many there are growing up. the problem is airing your family's private business in front of a worldwide audience under the pretext that you just made a killing on a resale.

whoever is standing next to my clumsy elbows, of course

Cantankerous 12.19.2007 11:11 AM

there's now a chunk of my left canine floating around somewhere.

floatingslowly 12.19.2007 11:22 AM

you want to bet on that? 62 million people allegedly voted for Bush (lets assume there was no fraud). The population of the US is 300 million. My math shows thats about 21% of the population. 21% is not a majority, even with the Republicans in power!

Now if you meant a majority of people who actually voted, then you may be correct, but only by a very slim margin. There was no fucking mandate as the corporate press liked to repeat. Anyway they are both members of the same secret society so maybe it is more accurate to say Skull and Bones got the majority of votes in 2004.
