Are you now, or have you ever been a member of a Choom Gang?

[4est_4est_Gump]

“As a member of the Choom Gang,” Maraniss writes, “Barry Obama was known for starting a few pot-smoking trends.”

The first Obama-inspired trend: “Total Absorption” or “TA”.

“TA was the opposite of Bill Clinton’s claim that as a Rhodes scholar at Oxford he smoked dope but never inhaled,” explains Maraniss. Here’s how it worked: If you exhaled prematurely when you were with the Choom Gang, “you were assessed a penalty and your turn was skipped the next time the joint came around.”

As one of Obama’s old high school buddies tells Maraniss: “Wasting good bud smoke was not tolerated.”

Another Obama innovation: “Roof Hits.”

“When they were chooming in a car all the windows had to be rolled up so no smoke blew out and went to waste; when the pot was gone, they tilted their heads back and sucked in the last bit of smoke from the ceiling.”

Maraniss also says Obama was known for his “Interceptions”: “When a joint was making the rounds, he often elbowed his way in, out of turn, shouted ‘Intercepted!,’ and took an extra hit.”

Although Obama himself wrote that he and his pot smoking buddies were a “club of disaffection,” Maraniss says that’s not really true.

“In fact, most members of the Choom Gang were decent students and athletes who went on to successful and productive lawyers, writers and businessmen,” Maraniss writes. One notable exception was Ray, the group’s pot dealer who, known for his ability “to score quality bud,” would years later be killed by a scorned gay lover armed with a ball-peen hammer.

Obama himself managed to be a pretty good student despite all the pot smoking and unconventional study habits.

“He told his Choom Gang mates that the trick was if you put the textbook under your pillow the night before you would perform better on an exam,” Maraniss writes. No way, dude!

COOLEST PRESIDENT in like,uh, 4EVER!!!


~swoon~

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Is that some kind of Comanchero variant?


I think it'd be hard to get pussy, and we can't have that.


I hated stoner chicks. Two donkeys at best, and a three-legged weasel otherwise.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

I was rather fond of Catholic stoner chicks...



We once did it in a pond under an overturned, smoke-filled cocoon.

I too, am now qualified to be president!

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Mine were Catholic drunk chicks . . .


when it wasn't nerdy Jewish girls.


I would have been a president more in the model of Franklin Pierce in those days.


Put an arrow in it.

All we had were a few Orthodox Christian Slav girls from Strawberry Hill...



At any rate, I was just posting one of those, "Whatever Happened to all the Choom and Gloom," threads our Socialist friends thought were forever dead and Barry'ed...

If he wins reelection, perhaps he'll model his career after James Buchanan.


Frankly, I'd like to see another Silent Cal. Boom economics, full employment, major international treaties, a national surplus (there's a term you never see) . . . and Original Gangsters everywhere.


Wurd.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

There will never be another surplus when cutting the rate of growth equals draconian cuts that starve women, leave the cillin's uneducated, enslave minorities, kill the elderly and threaten our supply of Comanchero Choom...





We need books to sleep on!

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I have a box off books in my bedroom, waiting to be put away. There is a cat who likes to sleep on them, lumpy as they are.


I think his ass is absorbing information by osmosis.

Adre did already quote his choom cat Mittens this morning...

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I don't let the cats have any choom.


'Shrooms, either.


They're too subversive naturally.


Nature's Comancheros.

 

[Saint Peter]

Give the kitty some catnip!

I agree.

Good pussy needs some stimulation...

 

[Wat_Tyler]

No.


Because I get to clean up the resulting chaos.


So it's not gonna happen.


Now, if a mouse were to get into the house, I'd pull up a chair and watch.

 

[MeeMie]

The loonies think their president is soooooo cooooool.

 

[MeeMie]

The President of the United States and Ray ...

While Barack Obama gave no mention to his own mother, teachers, coaches, etc. in his senior yearbook, he makes a point to thank the homosexual drug dealer for “all the good times”.

Here is the description of Ray according to a member of Barack Obama’s highschool “Choom Gang”:

"He was a long-haired haole hippie who worked at the Mama Mia Pizza Parlor not far from Punahou and lived in a dilapidated bus in an abandoned warehouse". … Ray the dealer was “freakin’ scary.” Many years later they learned that he had been killed with a ball-peen hammer by a scorned gay lover. But at the time he was useful because of his ability to “score quality weed.”

 

[phrodeau]

I'm sure that this is as much of a concern as President Bush Senior's THC eyedrops, or that bag of crack he brought into the Oval Office.

 

[Saint Peter]

I would rather have a president that smoked some pot in his younger years instead of a president that beat up homosexuals in his younger years.

 

[Sean]

Yeah, but the dealer was gay. GAY!!!

 

[Peregrinator]

Can someone explain to me why pot is illegal, again?

 

[Sean]

Can someone explain to me why pot is illegal, again?

Because hemp was a threat to the big cotton combines and they bought enough government to have it banned.

 

[Peregrinator]

Because hemp was a threat to the big cotton combines and they bought enough government to have it banned.

So why do we keep it illegal?

 

[Sean]

So why do we keep it illegal?

Because hemp is a threat to the big cotton combines and they own enough government to keep it illegal.

 

[Adre]

So why do we keep it illegal?

Because we're chickenshit, afraid of the puritanical hypocrites we keep electing. Christ, Buckley called for legalization 40 years ago. In addition, I think law enforcement and the legal profession find it a lucrative sideline

 

[Liar]

Because hemp is a threat to the big cotton combines and they own enough government to keep it illegal.

Replace "threat" with "boon" and "cotton" with "prison", and you are correct.

 

[Peregrinator]

Because hemp is a threat to the big cotton combines and they own enough government to keep it illegal.

Nah. I have clothes and a hat made of hemp. It's not about the fabric industry any more.

Because we're chickenshit, afraid of the puritanical hypocrites we keep electing. Christ, Buckley called for legalization 40 years ago. In addition, I think law enforcement and the legal profession find it a lucrative sideline

So next, let's examine the premise of the thread.
