Michael Phelps and a bong? Is there any truth to this?
Former Member
are we sure that's Phelps?
If true, he seems to have a habit of screwing up in the very next Novembers after Olympics...
anyone here from the UK? How reputable is "news of the world"?
How could he be so careless?
Theory.
My brother and I were discussing Phelps's pot usage earlier when he came up with a theory. He talked about our cousin (who played football and baseball for Rutgers) and how in his first year there all the linebackers smoked pot to increase their appetites. Then he theorized that maybe Phelps was doing the same thing to increase his appetite, thereby giving him more energy, thereby enhancing his performance.
Of course, one wonders how Phelps would smuggle pot into China of all places... let alone through any airport.
What do you guys think?
In the spirit of hard economic times, exemplified by a recent series of layoffs by a certain northwest aircraft company: if you take the Employment and the Income out of the BOEING company, then you are left with the BONG company with an already lined-up celebrity endorser...

"Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marihuana in private for personal use... Therefore, I support legislation amending Federal law to eliminate all Federal criminal penalties for the possession of up to one ounce of marihuana." - Jimmy Carter, U.S. President
"I inhaled frequently. That was the point." - Barack Obama, U.S. President
I missed the SNL when it came out. Well done. I love it : ]
I especially liked the line about when your kid asks if they can smoke Pot like Phelps, you say, "Yes after you win 12 gold medals for your country!"
The last line was THE best. I agree completely.
That is exactly what I told a friend of mine, regarding this video!

I thought a long time before I decided to revive this thread, but in the end, this editoral is excellent. I don't know how much longer it will be up on this newspaper's site. Enjoy. Lainey
