Now Welfy, would you do that because trailer park kids are stupid or because pot smokers are stupid? If it’s because pot smokers are stupid, I have some SAT scores to show you…God I’m starting arguments now. Maybe there’s something interesting outside…

I must admit, our friends to the north produce a fine product indeed. I was quite impressed with the “Nunavut Tundrafuck” that I sampled from a bong made out of a narwahl horn.
Mea culpa. Mea summa culpa.
You’re right, of course, Baker. Thanks for the correction.

It’s based on the symbol of the 67 Worlds Fair, but with fewer colors. (That one looked more like a patchworkquilt)
Actually, it wasn’t based on the Expo symbol. Maple leaves have been part of Canadian iconography for more than a hundred years. Check out the Canadian (and Ontarian) coats of arms for an example. If I’m not mistaken, there were maple leaves on the Canadian coat of arms that was used on the Red Ensign, the Canadian flag that preceded our current one.
HAH!
I TOLD everybody it was Uniball who started this thread! But did they believe me? Oh, no.
“The old duffer’s losing it,” they said, “Ukulele Ike is muttering into his beer again.”
But NO! Uniball it is! Now I have to go over to “Comments on Cecil’s Column” and gloat some more.
I KNOW this one. Or I used to know it… damn this short-term memory loss. Hee hee hee. Man, am I hungry.
The reason is obvious, we are trying to convince the Jamaicans to merge with us (not so much for the ganga as for the possibility of escaping winter without a passport) – and we are sucking up to the Rastas…
such a silly!
This reminds me of a something Alan Rock (Canada’s health minister) said on a talk show recently. He was asked about the prospect of legal use of marijuana for medicinal purposes and if he had ever used marijuana. His reply:
“I have never used marijuana for medicinal purposes.”
Neat.
Duke asked:
Well I wouldn’t. YMMV.
The symbol for the five colleges (Hampshire, UMass, Smith, Mount Holyoke, and Amherst) used to be this odd flower/leaf thing that looked like a pot leaf. Apparently familiar with the stereotypes of one of those colleges, the schools got together and changed it to something more decent looking. You can see the new one
here–it’s in the top left corner. Not drug related at all.
“Why the Canadian flag has a cannabis leaf on it?”
This is actually a recent Cecil column. As to why it appears in this forum too, rather than his forum, is a mystery.
Because it was here first.
