Oddly Enough Blog
News, but not the serious kind
What’s wrong with this picture?
Blog Guy, I’ve been seeing photos of well-armed rebels in Yemen in recent days, and I notice a lot of swollen cheeks. Are those plucky lads in need of major dental care?
No, don’t worry about that. These guys are just getting stoned on a leaf called qat.
According to Wikipedia, qat contains an amphetamine-like stimulant which is said to cause excitement and euphoria.
But…but…but… That one guy is holding a huge honking rocket-propelled grenade! Should he be doing that?
Fashions for a more forgettable you…
Blog Guy, I need some of your famous fashion advice.
I’m in a business I’d rather not name, but it’s in my best interest for certain people not to be able to find me. Am I clear so far?
I’ve seen nothing, I’ve heard nothing.
Good, I guess you’re smarter than you look in your photo.
So anyway, I like to look fashionable, just like anybody on the run. Where can someone like me go for low-profile high fashion?
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.
High times on the old Marijuana Plantation
Okay, here’s some interesting news. Turns out soldiers in Mexico have just discovered a huge “marijuana plantation” in the middle of a desert.
The thing covers 300 ACRES, which means the Shuttle astronauts have probably seen it from space, and yet it came as a real surprise to these local troops.
Letting the qat out of the bag…
Blog Guy, I read with interest your item about the goofy protesters in Yemen. You know, the snake-biters, the bread-heads and so on.
So have they made progress since they started getting goofier? I’ve seen plenty of photos of angry crowds over there.
