Around SBN: Kentucky Football: Tee Martin Reportedly Leaving for USC

BOWLING GREEN LINEMAN WILL SHOOT YOU FOR WEED

Next time you get high, just get to know your furniture. It's cheap, easy, and won't get you arrested.

We'll drop a bomb of personal revelation: believe it or not, at one time we smoked weed. During our brief and unhectic time as a stoner, we learned important lessons about ourselves and the world that only marijuana could teach. For instance, we didn't know we enjoyed Cabin Boy as much as any film we've ever seen, or that you can take an entire angel food cake and compact it into a single ball of sugar and egg whites about the size of a softball if you press it hard enough, and that you can eat said ball like some kind of sinister, diabetes-inducing edible softball.

We also, pre-weed, did not realize that couches had souls and names. (Ours was Wally; he vacillated from sadness to happiness at the drop of a hat, and had a penchant for the documentaries of Chris Marker and Brazilian afro-funk. See, non-stoners? You learn things on weed. We bet you don't even know your couch's sign. Walter's? Sagittarius, of course. A rascal, that Wally.)

We never, never got violent in the name of weed. It's just not that kind of thing, making the arrest of Bowling Green offensive lineman Orlando Barrow even stranger. Appropriately, Bowling Green takes their weed very, very seriously.

Bowling Green Police Lt. Tony Hetrick said investigators are seeking two other men who reportedly broke into an apartment at the Enclave II complex, pointed what turned out to be Airsoft guns at the three occupants, and demanded marijuana.

Airsoft guns fire a small plastic ball hard enough to sting--sting, we tell you! HOW YOU STAY SO GANGSTA, Orlando?

Star-divide

As any plan this well-thought out goes, they results were dismal: after threatening to kill the occupants of the apartment and ransacking the place, the three fled. Allen was picked up a short time afterwards, though the two men accompanying him were not, meaning there's two weed-craving madman on the loose in Bowling Green who will use fake guns in order to get what they want.

We suggest lures of compacted angel food cakes hung as bait to catch the remaining culprits. For Orlando Barrow, however, we give no cake, and instead award seven Fulmer Cup points to Bowling Green for the aggravated burglary and abduction charges. (Three for each felony count, and one bonus point for the genius of their "break in, scream and demand weed, and then run out" game plan.) Bowling Green, keep the fire burning tonight, sirs, and remember that if you'd just stayed home, eaten some chips, and watched Hellboy for the 26th time on DVD, none of this would have happened.

Hell Boy? Back in my day we preferred The 5th Element.

Brilliant as always.

Cabin Boy was never on our list of movies to watch stoned, but that would be the only thing that makes it watchable.

Our favorites were mostly movies that were still good sober – Lebowski, Dazed and Confused, Half Baked, Holy Grail, Meaning of Life, Army of Darkness, Kentucky Fried Movie, The Wall, or Beyond the Mind’s Eye*.

*Not really good sober, but absolutely stoneriffic.

Here’s a vote for “Big Trouble In Little China” …ridiculous in any state of mind, but in a good way.

Caddyshack, Black Sheep, Happy Gilmore, and Mario Cart 64. Well, those and a 2 foot Graffix double bubble named Serendipity.

We also had real shotguns, but never had the desire to mix the kind with the unkind.

Hey man, airsoft guns will snap those plastic vertical blinds, man. You could, like, totally bruise someone’s eyeball with one of those things.

I liked just walking around campus since, for the most part, Domers had no idea how to recognize a stoned person.

Though staying in and cranking through a season of Super Tecmo Bowl was generally more favorable in the colder months…

Ask any herb procurement specialist, and they will tell you that folks get pretty cranky when there is no danky.

I would give Orson’s left nut to be a fly on the wall during Orlando’s interrogation.

Orson, your itinerary for this afternoon (ET):

2:30 – dust off your gravity bong
2:35 – smoke, lots
Much later – write a scene of post-classic film noir titled simply “Campus Police Interrogate Orlando”

What? SpaceBalls is stonerriffic, as is True Romance…..I could totally see this with meth or coke, but really, Airsoft BB guns? For weed? What would you shoot back with, a Nerf rocket launcher? We really mean business, but really really dont want anyone to get hurt? WTF is that? Hand over the weed or the water balloon bombings will continue?

getting blazed and tearing through three hours of “Donkey Kong Bongos” was a favorite passtime of one of my college roommates.

Wally’s Horoscope: Today is a good day to confront your fears, don’t be afraid to knock the pillow on the floor. Avoid piss stains and Cool Ranch Doritos.
Try holding on the the 47 cents that just fell between your cushions…it may come in handy!

time bandits and tron. even though i have dabbled in these activities from high school (98ish) until the present, i’ve found that channeling a period of cinematic genius before my time was best for said green moments.

When I was in school, there was a guy I only knew in via spoken legend for most of the semester named “Burnout Bill”. His exploits included outrunning Charleston cops in a footrace (he on foot, cops on horseback), he punched through the glass on a gas pump, broke into MUSC and stole nitrous tanks, would smoke anything you gave him on a dare…etc. My impression was this guy was bad ass incarnate.

One day I opened the door after someone knocked, this guy says, “Hey, tell Cali (mutual friend who was in the room playing Nintendo with me and my roommate), that Bill is here.” Cali yells across the room, “Yo Burnout, wassup!” BIll is 5’ 2’ tall, rail thin, upon inviting him in for a beer, I realize he is the most polite, least violent person I ever met.

22 – I used to hang out with a Burnout Bill, we’ll call him Burnout Bob. Burnout Bob would not punch through anything, but he did like to drink copious amounts of Budweiser with his weed. This didn’t lead to good judgment.

Burnout Bob’s favorite stoned activity was pissing on cars. Your door handle, tires, trunk, windshield, everywhere. After an especially stoned/drunk evening, a bar patron who Bob knew came out of an establishment to find Burnout Bob with his pants around his ankles, on his hood making circular 8’s on his windshield. He yelled at Bob to stop, and then ran after him as Bob jumped off the hood and scrambled madly to try and get his pants up as he was being chased in circles around the vehicle.

I laughed so hard that my stomach muscles hurt during this incident.

not that i’ve ever done any drugs or anythng, but maybe they needed the weed to help them come down from something stronger…

Hey, give those BG Falcons a break. You’d be pretty high-strung, too, if your campus only had one tree under which to get high…

And back in the day, my friends and I preferred “Ren and Stimpy” for our viewing pleasure in a certain state.

Rifftrax downloads after getting lifted is the shit—it’s MST3K but it’s a separate downloadable mp3 file, that you synch up like Dark Side of Oz. So basically they can rip on Shatner w/no legal problems.

Bowling Green and Ohio U annually duke it out for the most pot busts, this should be no surprise to anyone within a state or two of here.

Speaking of weed, if you play the Bo Diddley video and scroll down and watch the space aliens video from LSUFREEK, they are in synch. And I’m not stoned. Is this like the Abbey Road record where “Paul is Dead” or like the Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon collusion with The Wizard of Oz? Just curious.

Apparently no one as ever seen Tres Caballeros starring Donald Duck. Most of it is animated, part of it is live action, and all of it is effing trippy, allegedly of course.

I think the author of this article should do a little more research. It was later found out (after the media
 took the story and ran with it) that the people who were involved in the robbery DID NOT ransack the
 apartment. It just so happens the occupants who were being robbed decided to make the “robbers” pay for
what they did. Heres another true fact. One of the three men was not involved in the situation, infact he was
labeled an innocent bystander and tricked into becoming a part of the scheme.

haha I was a junior during that incident and if you played on a team that sucked that bad you would resort to some crazy shit for attention too. I am surprised there was no mention of boon dock saints here, fucking classic though. Well, looks like its time to get blazed and play some xbox 360
