[Deliverance banjo Music] APRIL 27–Meet Elizabeth Lyvers and John Robert Gray. The dimwitted Kentucky couple was arrested Sunday for felony child abuse after taking pictures of Lyvers’s two-year-old son smoking pot. [/Deliverance banjo music]
From the same article:
(Hey! All the smilies are back!)
The trick is to start them young, ehh?
Is it just me, or do they look very much alike?
I wonder if they asked the cops if they could have the pictures back.
Family resemblence. :rolleyes:
I was just watching a rerun of “Judging Amy” about a pro-pot couple whose seven year old son started toking up.
Hmmm…looks like truth IS stranger than fiction!
I didn’t really look carefully until you made mention of it, but it does look like there might well be a few kinfolk being shared between those two.
Back in my hippie days in the late 70s, I remember partying at a friend of a friend’s house. This guy had a small son, I don’t think he could even talk yet. The father would blow pot smoke into the kid’s face The thing I was most apalled over was watching the kid when a joint would circle around. He would just stare at his dad as he took a hit, then follow the joint with his eyes as it passed over his head. He would stare at the guy on the other side of him while he took a hit, all this time reaching up as if to say, “don’t Bogart.”
I was glad to find that the mother had divorced the father when I found out she worked where I did several years later.
Introduce the child to the herb in a ceremony…
A Pot Mitzvah!
How terrible! How can someone do that to their 2-year-old child? I’m high right now and I think that’s just awful.
I should clarify that what I think is awful is that the people made their 2-year-old kid smoke pot, not that I’m high.
If you weren’t high, you wouldn’t have felt the need to clarify that. You’re paranoid, dude. Chill out.
Grass Mitzvah?
Although both bat mitzvah and bas mitzvah refer to the ceremony for a daughter, and their trainwreck (sorry – child) is a son.
To quote the late Bill Hicks: Where’s the tower? Where’s the gun?
I don’t think their family tree has too many branches in it.
You know, my home state DOES produce plenty of dumbasses with an acceptable level of genetic diversity!
:mad: 
:mad: 
(In other words, as much as I feel compelled to defend Kentucky’s reputation, it arises less out of genuine anger than a “Nobody gets to beat up my little brother BUT ME!” kind of possessiveness.)
I thought the same thing!
Then I realized… “hey it is Kentucky”…
I kid, I kid!

I used to prepare herb-laced food of varying descriptions for a weekly reggae do where the ticket price included a ganja-food buffet.
One night some asshole brought their kids and was seen feeding them son (about two and four) popcorn that was topped with weedy butter.
When told to stop, he refused, and when asked to leave, he refused, saying “Whaddya gonna do, call the cops?”
About five minutes later, the band shut down and it was generally announced that folks had better clear out because this schmuck was leaving people no choice but to do just that.
This eventuality was obviated by a group of volunteers who escorted him home. I still think it would have been better if the cops were called. How do you leave children in the care of someone that fucking irresponsible?
You really have to wonder about some people.
You know, I first tried pot at age 11. I was fully aware of what I was doing. I consciously sought it out and bought 2 joints with lunch money I had saved up because I was curious what it would do to me.
To this day I don’t think anyone could have possibly influenced my descision one way or another. My curiosity was satisfied and I don’t regret it at all.
At age 2 you can’t fucking choose :mad: .
Proving once and for all - and in a very satisfying manner, I might add - that sometimes, bad things happen to stupid people.
