Smoking Paradox in Amsterdam
Jun 27, 2008 Uncategorized
OK, this is weird. (via USATODAY.com):
AMSTERDAM — Starting next week, you’ll still be able to legally smoke a joint in the famously relaxed coffee shops of Amsterdam — but for a cigarette, you’ll have to step outside.
A tobacco ban that goes into effect Tuesday in the Netherlands has both tourists and shop owners, like, totally confused, man.
So in honor of this new law, I present a picture of myself in Amsterdam. Proceed with the mockery, my friends.

Wow. Is it the hair that makes you look heavy or the crazy beard?

Maybe it was the 20 or so extra pounds. Nah, it was the hair.

It totally makes sense to me. When I used to smoke pot, I was never motivated enough to do anything except eat, so how could they possibly expect people to walk all the way outside to toke up?
I hope all is well with you, Noel!

Nah, I think you look like Adam Pascal playing Roger in RENT (the movie). (You may want to be careful with some of the other photos there.)
Nice curls!

Is your hair feathered… or just windblown? I’m hoping for the latter.
My hair back in the day was very aerodynamic when I was a Pentecostal evangelist if it makes you feel any better about my mockery here.
