Zonker: So in case Prop 19 passed, I wanted to get the rust out, make sure I still had the chops for cultivation! Anyway, I thought you might like to see it before a hard frost brings it all down. Zipper: Well, it's a fine crop, Uncle Zonker, you've still got it! Need a hand with distribution? Zonker: No, no, it's just a pilot project. I'm composting it.

You could give it to a charity, like Weed for the Needy.

Funny, that’s what my wife always said about me.

Is there also a concept of “women’s reproductive responsibities”?

Yeah right Z, once you show ONE person where your stash is growing, then it’ll probably be gone the very next day. Take it from the voice of experience.

The Zonk needs to try indoor cultivation!

It’s not just women. Nobody wants to be responsible anymore.

gmartin997 saidHow did Snoop Dogg become so important anyway?. I’m sorry, but hearing Meryl Streep mention his name in a movie (The Devil Wore Prada) just freaked me right out.- – - – - – - – - – -I think it’s all in the name. Would Archibald Leach have done as well as Cary Grant? I doubt the artist known as Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr. would have got as much notice as Snoop Dogg.

Is this a repeat? Where in CA would there be a full grown crop threatened by a hard frost at this time of year?

I agree. All the women I know just get pregnant, have an abortion, get pregnant, have an abortion…
I guess that’s just what happens when you allow women control over their bodies, they just have abortions all over the place.
Oops! I just checked. Much to my surprise, there have been less abortions during times when abortions are legal and when sex education was allowed and contraception was encouraged than when abstention was the order of the day. Go figure.

It is all about women being responsible. Nobody else has to be responsible. Especially since we have the uteruses. What about sperm?

Men better be careful about Santorum. If he has his way, we will only have sex for procreation. OK, if that is how you guys want it to be…

’I’m composting it". Yeah, just like Bill Clinton didn’t inhale.

So the nephew wants to " distribute", and Uncie Zonker is going to “compost”. I wonder which one is telling the truth? composting…….really??? “Hey, it’s an animation, Kath, get over it.” uh huh :+)
kath1948 almost 13 years ago
what does " chops" mean, or is it a type-O?

Don’t waste it! Mail it to me!!

If Zonker truly believes he’s going to compost it, he obviously has consumed some of the product recently.

Okay, addressing the women’s rights issues: conservatives want the government to butt out of people’s lives — unless it’s something they care about. Then they’re in your bedroom, in your vagina, at your wedding, in your house of worship, and by the way, what library books have you been checking out? Don’t try to impose your “responsibility” on others.

“We should be able to find the right man. Not just any old man …”
Good news stuff, you’re free to sow all the wildoats you want and always have, unless you’re posting from Afghanistan. It gets better, you’re free to choose a man worthy of fathering a child, and always have, unless you’re posting from Afghanistan. The man is also free to make the same assessment. If things don’t work out then welcome to the world of rejection and gender equality.
You should know that your options are not limited.
montessoriteacher almost 13 years ago
The point is that there are women who have been raped and are not really free to make the choice to have sex in that particular case. Rape is far more common than some would believe. We only wish it was rare. Options are limited in such cases. Reality check.
montessoriteacher almost 13 years ago
And you certainly don’t have to be in Afghanistan to be a rape victim.
