Don't fear the reefer
Joints. Spliff. Ganja. Stuff. Get stoned. I got high. Pot. Hemp.
Call it whatever you want. But please, please… when u roll it don’t put tobacco in it. I mean, what’s the point? It’s like having sex without kissing, or eating pasta without cheese. It’s like punishing yourself for the guilty pleasure and cut the fun in half… And we don’t wanna do that, do we?…
P.S. for the record, this thing never affects me. I don’t know why. I guess I am the Ovelix of cannabis… On the other hand, when someone offers you something at a party, it’s not polite to say “no”, is it?

it doesnt affect you? hmmm curious... and relating to the tobacco, whilst waiting outside "the arena", brisbane's major venue to see Frenzal Rhomb (aussie punk, very good) with my mate, we talked to a bloke and the subject eventually came to women... he had an opinion that sex with a condom was like having a shower with a raincoat from. quite hilarious that fella... :)
P.S. is that ovelix from the asterix comic that cant be affected by magic potion cos he fell in as a baby?

Nah, it's not that curious - I have met on other fellow as well who can smoke the whole lot and then play soccer for hours...
So, you're from Brisbane... Cool. Fucking hell, I have never heard of Frenzal Rhomb - I have to check them out. Which label are they signed in? Do you know if their records are available overseas?
Yes, when you are in love, sex with a condom is... well, the feeling of it is kind of limited. Unfortunately, it is still the best and most safe way not to get your girlfriend pregnant. And if she's not your girflriend, if you are not in love then... tell that bloke that having sex without a condom is like playing the russian roulette. One out of six [at least]... you lose. Big time!!!
Yes, that's Ovelix. Is Asterix popular down under? Because in Europe it's huge!!!
Thanx 4 the comment D. Always nice to hear from you

Brisbane is ok....not too big a city like 2 mil now i think...but after the inner city suburbs (in typical aussie fashion) everything just spreads out lots, you drive about 3 hrs out of brisbane and there are people with 100,000 acre plots of land. meh. climate is good, if sometimes hot. not too much rain here, and if it does it goes in a BIG way with storms and the like. Watching a thunderstorm on the front deck whilst drinking a beer is something i like to do anyway. Oh yeh. most aussie beer is ok/shit....very bitter. there are some good ones like crown lager and hahn..coldies etc. not too many though.
yeh i know now myself (as im the boyfriend of jess whose blog you commented on occasionally) and well were only human ;)
the comic isnt big at all. hard pressed to find a copy at the local library if at all.
no worries, my pleasure. always look forward to your blogs :)
i think theyre with "fat wreck chords" the same ppl that have NOFX. not sure. they have a fair few albums now.. 'Meet the Family', 'Shut your Mouth', 'Sans Souci' etc. i think they should be available overseas...theyre good enough anyway.

Hey Dave,
No kidding! You really are Jess' boyfriend?
:-)
Of course you are, that's why I told you i want to write something about it. I read the comments you exchange and all this story seemed so great I really want to write an [obviously imaginary] story about it, inspired by your blogs! For whoom it may concern, you seem like a lovely couple - keep it that way!!! :-)
Asterix is hilarious. Too bad you can't find it there. And there is a lot of beating and smashing and thrashing in there - you will like it :-)
No one can beat Ovelix, though... He may be fat but he's invincible. That's why I always preferred Lucky Luke - do you know that?
Thanx 4 the tip, I will check the band. Yes, Far Wreck is being internationally distributed. Do you recommend any particular album I should seek out for?
But how old are you? I mean, are you allowed to drink while still in school? I am not shocked or something - after all, especially in Greece you can drink after your 13th birthday [hahaha, that may not be official but it's true!!!]. Just checking. If I ever manage to visit your lovely country [I adore Aussie accent, the australian bands of the 80s, the feeling of this enldess landscape that goes on and on and on... Australia has always been a country I could fall in love with, - And i think Australian women are pretty nice as well - at least the ones I know are Australian] your crash test on local branded beer will prove valuable. :-) Have you seen that movie, Australian Rules, that portraits a love affair between a young quarterback and an aboriginal girl?

I know this comment will seem irrelevant here. I wanted to add it to your previous post, but before I had time to react the conversation took a different turn. However, it is kind of relevant since you mention that you like the Aussie accent…
For all of you native or non-native English speakers, I suggest Bill Bryson’s MOTHER TONGUE, a hilarious book about the English tongue by a hilarious author. Here’s a little passage that is quite relevant (since Aussies have joined our blog company):
National dialects can develop with remarkable speed. Within only a generation or so of its colonization, visitors to Australia were beginning to notice a distinctive accent. In 1965, one “Afferbeck Lauder” published a book called LET STALK STRINE, which wittily celebrated the national accent. Among the words dealt with were SCONA, a meterological term, as in ‘Scona rine’; DIMENSION, defined as the customary response to ‘thank you’; AIR FRIDGE, a synonym for ordinary, middling. Other Strinisms noted by Lauder and others are ‘Emma chisit’ for ‘How much is it?’, ‘emma necks’ for what you have for breakfast, and ‘fairairs’ for a long time, as in “I waited fairairs and airs’.
Try to say the words out loud! :)

haha....im 17...birthday was in jan. jess is coming up this month (17th).
look for 'sans souci' or 'a man is not a camel' - id go for the second for the best intro to frenzal...some great songs there like 'you are not my friend', were going out tonight', 'lets drink a beer' (i lost my voice at the concert singing along to this one :) or 'do you want to fight me?' - and try to figure out what they say in funny interlude called 'i know why dinosaurs became extinct' so yep id go that one. it has a picture of a camel in the drawing similar to leonardo davinci's human form thing...or i think it was his anyway :?
and....i have sampled all australian and overseas beers so id be happy to be a critic or give you an opinion before you go out and buy that expensive import 6-pack :)
havent seen that movie myself, surprised it went overseas too...i thought it was a local only. and btw only victorians support afl. even thought the brisbane lions have won the last 3 in a row :P
i reccomend australia to you. just stick to the cities or the outback, theres not too much on in the suburbs. sydney seemed very internationalised and cosmopolitan when i went there..melbourne slightly less and much more cold. id go brisbane/adelaide/darwin or the outback.
and ah, we dont speak like that anymore....not many people say gday..i say mate sparingly...fella lots..other than that imagine a dull aussie accent but american words and you have the australian.
nobody but the worst dickheads speak like steve irwin. hes a wanker...lol cmon man theyre fuckin crocs not playtoys.
P.S. eagerly anticipating the story! :)

Αν ήσουν καπνιστής, υποθέτω ότι με το να κάνεις joints με καπνό θα συνδύαζες με τη μία δύο απολάυσεις: Αυτή του καπνίσματος και αυτή του highσματος... τώρα καθώς δεν καπνίζεις (αντιπαθείς μάλιστα ακόμη και την οσμή του τσιγάρου) είναι λογικό να μην το θες...
σκέψου και την αντίθετη άποψη: για κάποιους, το χωρίς, θα είναι σαν να τρως ψητό φούρνου με πατάτες, χωρίς πατάτες...
