Ahhh. I've found a great song I would like to share. so...is there some kind of of magical formula that anyone could share to make the embed work... or any sort of mix of of herbs and/or spices and/or sacrifices I should do over my keyboard? (sorry about the sarcasm I've been trying to make this embed work for like an hour). Anyway I would really appreciate it if somebody would skool me on the subject.

LOL "enough green herbs to knock out Cheech Marin"

But Tommy Chong could handle 'em!

I love weed but this is a tad biased. Smoking anything can cause lung cancer because setting fire to stuff, any stuff creates lots of carcinogens. And my memory is terrible, i'm only in my 30's but i have the memory of someone in their 70's. Weed is lovely but lets be honest it isn't good for you.


Let's be honest, it isn't all that bad for you, either.

My life would be a lot better if I could just go down to the store and buy some herb--no worry about the cops, no worry about criminals--then come home and smoke it in peace.

You probably don't believe that. I don't care. You don't know my life.

And yes, weed can impair your short-term memory if you smoke a lot of it all of the time, but back when I was smoking weed, it had little or no effect on my studies.

Your memory problem might be related to something else: are you reading every day? Are you doing something besides watching television and surfing the net all night?

No offense, but I am sick of this bullshit. The illegalization of cannabis is doing us all much more harm than good.

I'd say it's appeal to me is only about 10% ironic. It's a good tune. Love Mr. Conrads' invocation, "*gettin' it on".

You know what? It's good music. And you know what else? Even though the dancing might be considered cheesy by today's standards, so what. They were obviously having fun, and that's all that matters. They weren't hurting anyone or trying to make some lame-ass statement; they were simply enjoying the moment. Gotta respect that.

Rise, my brother.

Nope. I'm glad it's buried again. My top two were both too lowbrow for my taste. Instead I'll pimp my current #1, which is the anthem for the dawning of the New Sift!

Thank you, Master. Excellent choice for the rebirth of the Sift.

i drink a lot of both.

coffee normally in cappuccino-form or or my own mix of mixed instant-cappuccino, Nesquick and a bit of normal cacao. (i love chocolate..). Coffee with Kalhua is great too.

and all kind of tea, turkish apple tea, rooibos tea, all kinds of herb teas, green teas, etc. i prefer my tea in a glass cup, and poured from a glass tea can, its great to see the great colors some teas have.

Remember hot-tubbing back in the eighties?

My girlfriend and I would go to this place in Boulder with tubs on the roof and it was just the best. The stars, the moon, the heat steaming off our bodies. A little vino, a pinch of herb.

Those were the days.

Yo, yo,yo I weave a tapestry strike rapidly and
magically
Alter battle rap habitats automatically
You back down, I change your background like
Photoshop
My oratory inventory's overstocked
I'm ripping the track, djs are enjoying it
'Cutting it up, and completely destroying it'
Ambidextrous, yo you must be on a deathwish
Stepping to this, I'm venemous I'll leave you
breathless
I spat words, waxed and taxed herbs
Your raps absurd, backs get fractured,
My crack a shell, bag your mademoiselle
Take the cake then I break like a bat out of hell
You fuck with Esoteric catch a capital L
Lock horns with 7L, son there's none parallel
You need a beat to flow to?
You're lucky if your said Hello to
Bitch-ass crab I thought I told you

'Known to be the master in the M.C. field'
'Make way, 'cause here I come'
'Known to be the master in the M.C. field'
'Cover every angle on the mic, I'm killin''

It's Esoteric kid, yeah that's whose spitting
Ask Lew dipping in the back, brew sipping
I spit hot shit when wack crew ripping
It even leaves the ink on your tattoo dripping
Crab cat talk about how your seeing gats
The only metal you hold is the one for being wack
The only battle you've been in is the one you
reinact
Talking trash from the back like a sneak attack
I'm strictly biz cause I'm going where Parrish
went
You ain't wack, you's a fucking embarrassment

I'm making sense like your last record's total
sales
I spoke in brail, you felt it so much
That you left with broken nails
When packing a jam, harrassing the fans for not
clapping their hands
Cuz you ain't dope you just a flash in the pan
Like coke to a crack dealer bagging a gram
I rock a fitted cap, can't deal with little
straps
Strictly big guns when it comes to ripping tracks
I ain't sweating sales, dub this for your crew
Cuz once they hear the rhymes they're gonna want
the cover too

Yo I take command crushing all my enemies,
breaking their hands
A giant avalanche quaking your fam
The mic killer, I bring doom ripping buffons
Rhymes expand like the womb in delivering rooms
Too gory, these kids split Whigs like a Tory
More importantly I bring the 4th degree of
sorcery
Orally, forgery authorities report to me
Quarterly, the way I corner borders be like
Normandy
I'm ornery, words turn, as your verse squirms
like an earthworm
First learn, churches burn as worlds turn
Predicaments, make your ligaments of no
significance
I'm speaking real words kid your speaking
ignorance
I must insist, it's tough to feel dissed
By a rap group I don't even know exists
What you maggots hope to say, could never serve
Shay
The only wax you put out was candles on your
birthday

How cool is this? I agree with Herb - I am going to teach myself this song and then wait for Rivers Cuomo to invite me to his next jam session.

Plus the others they said. Such a dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb PSA. I hope the people that made this are attacked by the (most assuredly) displaced insects that eat cannabis, since from watching this video they will be unstoppable lunatic killing machines till they get their fix* back. DEATH TO THE UP-ROOTERS!

*Warning: "Fixes" caused by delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol may in fact be nearly harmless usually causing short-term memory problems and short-term comprehension and perception changes in humans and provide a delicous meal for insects.

My first post didn't make it until saved months later (thanks sg!). My first sifted video was a TDS clip of the guy that gave his Purple Heart to Bush. I really wanted to get rid of that 'P' quickly and TDS was even more popular then than it is now. Sadly it was yanked never to return. In any case, I immediately posted three others that seemed likely to sift -

Dave Chapelle on Charlie Rose
The Adverb Song
A news story about stoners in Canada

What do those say about me? I like to burn the herb while watching longer, interesting videos, and I'm really just a kid at heart - chronology notwithstanding. KidSift was the first collective I joined. (Whatever happend to James??)
