Random, stupid things on your mind

Tax charged on pot:

15% California state marijuana tax
3.5% Berkeley City marijuana tax
9.25% state & local combined general sales tax

It's like buying gas, can't wait for the federal government to demand their cut

A short history of Super Bowl parties:

Time was a bunch of friends would convene around pizza, chips, dip, and beer to watch the game.  Actually watch the game.  No one babbled incessantly, no one got up and blocked the TV during play.  No one brought their wives and girlfriends - they mostly didn't watch football anyway, and the ones who did were tired of it after a long season and would rather go shopping.

At some point someone would ask if his wife or gf could come, she was either actually interested in the game or it was promised she'd be quiet.  Hell, maybe she'd even cook something.  After that, when the other wives and gfs found out other females were going to be there, they of course insisted on coming along too. 

That was the end of people being able to actually watch the game with friends, and eventually evolved into the Sunday afternoon party (with a game going on somewhere in the background) we know today.

I’m sufficiently unsociable enough to have never endured a super bowl party.

By now I'd say it's far beyond football. They have completely infiltrated guy stuff such in all manner of entertainment from UFC to Poker. I love woman, but please just go shopping. Or even bingo! Anything!

Who taught them how to get out of the bathroom?

And leave the store with all that tax to pay anyway - nice!

Since it is illegal under federal law, the banks won't give them loans, let them open accounts, or do any business with them.  The banks and credit card companies (Visa, MC, etc) won't give them accounts or machines to take credit and debit cards.

This particular store had a privately owned (non-bank) ATM machine in the corner that people could use but would charge a fee, and apparently the person who owned that would have an account with a bank or cc co...

This is why you don't move a crazy groupie into your house and let her write Facebook posts for you.

YOU SEXUALLY ASSAULTED MY CRAZY GIRLFRIEND BUT ALL WILL BE FORGOTTEN IF YOU GIVE ME MY OLD JOB BACK!

I like Ace's house.  Wonder if he'll let me squat in it while he's back on the road with Paul "I use hairspray on my chest hairs" Stanley.

@Whistler a voice in my head told me to post this here.

Yes, something like this was debut at or near the NY Public Library a few years ago, but now when I Google it, it's gone.

Personally, I think the first thing it should say is, "I am not you", otherwise, how would one know the whisper wasn't one's own thought?

Would it mood check, because some people don't like to hear whispers when they are thinking about something intense.  Like praying.  Or imagining.
