It’s, Dave, man. Will you open up, I got the stuff with me.
It’s from Cheech & Chong, I believe.
“Hey man, open up. It’s Dave!”
“Nah man, Dave’s not here.”
Variations on that are repeated for a while. I think it’s hilarious, but can’t remember exactly how it goes.
I’m here. I was just waiting for an administrator to respond. I think it was a remarkably poor moderating decision, but I never really expected it to be changed, in all the years I’ve been here I’ve never seen a moderator’s decision overturned, no matter how bad that decision is. That’s OK, see, it’s one of the things about being a guest in someone else’s house (or on their website), you have to play by their rules. The good here far outweighs the occasional lapse in judgement or the odd substandard moderator.
Kalhoun, thanks for sticking up for my thread. I’ll admit I was/am pretty pissed about what still seems to me to be an entirely arbitrary lockdown. I was considering a pit thread myself, and mine would not have been anywhere near as cordial as yours. It seems unfair that I am being warned because other people jumped to conclusions, but life isn’t always fair, and if I really let that bother me I’d have jumped off of World Eater’s cliff a long time ago. In the larger sceme of things, this is hardly a tragedy, it was a one off joke and play on words, I doubt that thread was going to turn into the next “What if LOTR had been written by someone else?”, it was simply meant as some lighthearted fun.
Originally from an old Cheech and Chong routine, where Dave gets locked out of the house where his stoner buds are having a party, and he’s trying to identify himself so they;ll let him back in.
Cheech keeps saying, “This is Dave, man. Let me in!”
Chong keeps answering: “Dave’s not here, man.”
Waitaminute, waitaminute, WAITAMINUTE!
You lived one province over from British Columbia, the Hydroponic Garden Province[sup]TM[/sup], and you’re allergic to all forms of marijuana!? :eek:
What are the symptoms of your allergy? Dry mouth? Short term memory loss? Inexplicable food cravings? Short term memory loss?
Weirddave: I want to find out how to get my wife high from the SDMB.
Mod: I’ve afraid I can’t let you do that, Dave.
Well, you did structure your entire OP to lead people to that conclusion, and provided no evidence within the OP to suggest that conclusion was wrong, and that’s what the mods were unhappy about. You relied on your audience knowing you and Ginger would never do such a thing, which, given some of the responses, wasn’t something you could rely on.
All I think this says is, if you’re going to jokingly mislead people in a post you should throw the punchline, and not let it hang there for misinterpretation.
That’s a very good point, but the thing is, I knew Ginger would post “springing” the joke shortly after I posted the OP, and she did, within about 15 minutes(because I told her to check MPSIMS).
If locking down this thread helps prevent those stupid “my hot wet pussy” (“Surprise! I gave my cat a warm bath! haha!”) threads, then I’m all for it. It’s not that the joke offends me, it just…isn’t funny.
On the other hand, if Dave actually got a formal warning…that’s just way too harsh. I saw the thread before I saw this one and I didn’t think for one second that he would actually encourage Ginger to use drugs while she was pregnant (or otherwise, for that matter.)
Thank you, Cisco.
Plus, didn’t a whole slew of us kick in on a thread about tripping on acid the other day? We all admitted we did it, admitted who we got it from, and talked about what it was like. No one shut that one down!
And it wasn’t even supposed to be a joke!!!
Anaphylaxis. But I recognize the ‘symptoms’ from before the allergy developed.
Has anyone actually proven that marijuana is bad for developing fetuses?
I’d think it might help babies calm the the fuck down.
HAHAHAHAHA!!! Get it? Do you get it??
Y’know, cuz the thread is about buying a BOX SPRING…
Yeah, I’m going now. 
I think it irrefutably contains carcinogens.
Puff away yourself all you want and I couldn’t possibly care less, but I would hate to see someone introducing it to a fetus.
Where is Cajunman?
Off grilling?
How is that any different from thread titles about “my warm pussy” that end up being about a cat sitting on the heating vent?
We’ve always had such joke titles in the past, which weren’t about trolling-to get a reaction-but just to make people laugh.
BTW, congrats to Weirddave and Ginger.
Didn’t they tell everyone to give those a rest awhile back? See my post above, #30.
Further info. Note: Erowid is a pro legalization site. Caveat Emptor.
Ginger, I suggest you get a vaporizer. That way you don’t get any carcinogens!
Oh, and one of these…
