Giant black cloud? How bad could it be?

Blog Guy, I wanted to follow up on an item you had a few days ago, about that gigantic 300-acre “marijuana plantation” that was found by soldiers in Mexico.
What about it?
I was just wondering if it’s possible to rent the plantation for nature study trips. Or fraternity parties.
Nice try. It’s already gone. We have subsequent pictures of troops burning all those crops.
Nooooooo!!!! I mean, gosh, that seems like a waste. All 300 acres of weed, up in smoke…
If it’s any consolation, it produced a monumental smoke cloud, hundreds of miles big, drifting out over the Pacific Ocean.
So if you had enough data about prevaling winds and air patterns, you could probably figure where that cloud will come down, right?
Of course. Looks like it should be landing in Siberia, let’s see, to the city of Krasnoyarsk.
What? That’s the place you always call Wackytown, the goofiest spot on earth! You even conduct tours there for your readers!
Yep, looks like it lands on Monday, right in front of the Krasnoyarsk Krispy Kreme and a Ben & Jerry’s.
Listen up, you lucky readers who are heading there with me for the ski trip this weekend, I’m gonna need you to sign some waivers….

Once I saw this short clip featuring a news reporter doing a live commentary as marijuana was being incinerated behind him. The fool had the wind coming from behind him and ended up inhaling the stuff, along with the cameraman. The rest of the clip is highly entertaining as you can imagine.
Wait. He inhaled the cameraman? That must have been entertaining indeed.
I will sign a waiver. Hell I will sign over my first born child. What time to we leave for this ski trip?
Hahahaha…good call BG. That was obviously not what I meant. What I meant, obviously, was that both the reporter and the cameraman ended up inhaling the stuff.
Needless to say, BG’s version would be even more entertaining.
You really sure about that, Mr.Pilot? Your first born for a whiff of weed?
Weed is a sore topic with me, since I didnt get to try it earlier this year..
On that note, lets get on the Wine-O-Bago to Wackytown!!!
New sign on Monday: “Welcome to Wacky-tabacky-town!”
@Shra, shhhh…that’s the trick. Mr. B. doesn’t know I can’t have kids. Buah ha ha ha ha!
Yaaaaay! I’m in for any trip to Krasnoyarsk. I’ll bring the chips.
RE “…inhaling…the stuntman”: See, I can’t help it. Next to dumb puns, nothing cracks me up like misplaced modifiers. I’m just a gigglin’ grammar-girl.
Mrs. Doc and I are back from vacation. She has a stress fracture, and I have 1st-degree separated shoulder. Our son says we need to act our age. Okay, next time we go to wackytown.
So, BG…is it true that no tern remained unstoned?
what? No Milt Famey fans among this punny group???
Krasnoyarsk: where the air quality rating has a whole new meaning. Code Munchie coming up!
If you think reading the blog is fun here, wait ’til you read it there. And then try to say Krasnoyarsk ten times wihout giggling…
