to get back to the OP… while I disagree with the permeating ability of pot smoke… I do agree that your neighbors are assholes… but I wouldn’t call the cops as others advise… you’ve already spoken to them about it so they will think that any heat would have come from you, whether it is true are not… and then you might have to deal with retaliation… which from assholes could lead to who knows where… you are in a bad situation… you are not going to get them to stop… you could try and smell proof your apartment or find some incense that you like and mask the scent… I suggest [Nag Champa](http://www.nagchampa.com/)… ---

I just wish they’d do something so that you could see who it was posted something before you actually read it. I mean, I don’t know how many times I’ve read one of \*\*Vinny’\*\*s post all the way to the wretched pun at the end and thought “Shit! If only there were some way to know!” Anyway, at least I can bitch to you guys about it, knowing how interested you are in that. And all. ---

> [@VinylTurnip](#): > > It started strong, but they’ve obviously run out of ideas. Jumped the shark at least two seasons ago. Season 4 was the best. So, we’ve had the obligatory opening lines of “Oh noes, it’s the Diogenes Show.” **Guinastasia’s** dug into her archives (or is that stalker-chives) with links. Sigh, just let me know when my cue comes up to hear the fantasized sexual positions regarding myself and Dio. I’ll be in my trailer until then. Why isn’t this the **elucidator** show in this case, anyway? He made the first bald assertion about the effects of secondhand pot smoke stink on clothes. Don’t bother answering - it was a rhetorical question. ---

I’d like to smell like money. Subtly, of course, so nobody actually notices, but everybody is a lot nicer to me. Trouble is, wouldn’t be anybody I’d like. ---

Ya know, every time you start with the , ‘My anecdotes are facts - my facts trump your anecdotes’ I hear the opening credits to the Dio Show. It’s your own fault really. Why is it so fucking hard for you to accept that people can have different experiences than you and they can both be true? ---
