So annoying.

p.s. Nice link Reg, and so true. Yelling G.I.T.H. at a golf tourney is played out. Imagine someone yelling swing batta-batta-batta at a baseball game. He might get beat to death.

now we're talking college curriculum and learning meaningful knowledge and life experiences...

MANCHESTER, Conn.,  May 11 (UPI) -- A Connecticut college is offering a non-
credit course for students interested in becoming experts on the complicated
dice game craps.
Nino Nistri, 68, who is teaching the course at Manchester Community College,
said he has been gambling since the age of 11 and has been instructing people
on the rules and language of craps since 2000, the Hartford (Conn.) Courant
reported Monday.
Nistri said the game can be daunting for an observing novice.
"People are winning on '7,' losing on '7,' chips are flying, people are yelling
and screaming," he said.
The teacher said his class, which begins May 13, will consist of four two-hour
sessions and each student will receive a pair of regulation dice, a laminated
odds sheet and a copy of Nistri's book on the game, "Craps."
Nistri said he considers craps to be the most exciting casino game.
"When things are going, you can feel the electricity," he said. "It's the best
game in the house, in my opinion."

This is beautiful.  It is probably one of the most useful college courses I have heard of.  It will also probably be the highest value course in terms of helping the college student re-coup the losses of wasted tuition.

Not sure if anyone's posted this but St. Lawrence's 2009 schedule is now available.

The Larries open the season with a home game against potential future conference rival Ithaca.

['gro]

Nice to see the Larries stepping their OOC game up, and having 10 games on their sched.  Can't say they have much of a chance against IC, unless they walk out to this song.

in case anyone wants to take a LLPP field trip to TGP land where the maryjane will roll freely(pun intended)....people finally realizing what a windfall of tax money this would be

SACRAMENTO, May 11 (UPI) -- A lawmaker who wants California to be the first
state to legalize marijuana use says he has tailored his bill to try to avert
conflict with federal authorities.
Assemblyman Tom Ammiano's bill would only repeal criminal penalties for
personal cultivation and possession of up to 10 marijuana plants, the San
Francisco Chronicle reported Monday. The bill would not allow retail pot sales.
The cautious approach "acknowledges, to some extent, the reality we have right
now," said Quintin Mecke, a spokesman for Ammiano, a San Francisco Democrat.
"I'm hard-pressed to imagine the (Drug Enforcement Administration) being that
interested in what is in someone's private home," Mecke said. "I think they pay
attention to major grow operations."
While law enforcement groups are adamantly opposed to the measure, a Field Poll
in April found 56 percent of Californians are in favor of legalizing,
regulating and taxing marijuana.
"In ever-increasing numbers, the citizens of this state are ready to junk our
failed prohibition policies, even if that means taking on the feds," said
Stephen Gutwillig, state director of the Drug Policy Alliance, a pro-
legalization lobby group.
Ammiano's Assembly Bill 390 was introduced in February but he says he will not
try to bring it to a vote until next year.

I would love to see the US leagalize pot, but have it be a federal operation and have only the Feds be able to grow it, sell it, and distribute it.  Then increase the penalties for those that continue to sell it in their own stores.  What would the pot heads argue then?

as pbr's friends say when was the last time u saw an angry stoned dood? or a stoner beat up his wife/kids? yet there are beer muscles on every street corner every weekend looking to fight anyone....at this point imho its been a long failed policy they should just legalize it and take the tax windfall. treat it just like alcohol with dui's, etc... and take a percentage of revenues to pay for rehab etc... and the rest of us can buy stock in all the snack food companies when the demand for  munchies will go up 10 fold...

The Rev has never been a partaker in said vegetative matter, but cannot believe that the government would do a good job running a ganja farm.  If you had the government playing the Grateful Dead or Phish covers, they would sound like Barry Manilow or Neil Diamond.  They just can't pull it off.

The Rev knows of some weed growers and smokers who want it to stay illegal because they can make more money and grow stuff the way they want it.

As soon as pot becomes legal, it will fall under the FDA.  They will apply standards that make no sense to anyone outside of the Beltway, and ruthlessly punish those who grow or distribute out-of-spec weed.  Legalizing pot would destroy the pot market.

The Rev agrees with PBR that the most likely scenario would be a jump in the stock prices of Frito-Lay, Taco Bell and Jack-in-the-Box.

If pot were legal, would the hippie-wannabes still douse themselves with Patchouli?

Interesting move by the Bombers.  They open their season with consecutive road games vs LL teams.  9/5  St. Lawrence and 9/12 Union.  Looks like they are getting ready for the move.

If gro may be the wet blanket for a second.  There's got to be some concern for public safety if the green were legalized.  Gro does not want to get run over by a forklift by a guy that hits a 4-footer before work. Nor do I need some stoner trying to walk though the drive thru at burger king (true story - my buddy tried that once, they wouldn't serve him).

That being said, if medical standards of impairment are created and there is a quick and accurate test to determine said impairments (aka DWHAF aka driving while high as F...) then have at it hoss.

Get some sour cream and onion chips with some dip, man, some beef jerky, some peanut butter. Get some Häagen-Dazs ice cream bars, a whole lot, make sure chocolate, gotta have chocolate, man. Some popcorn, red popcorn, graham crackers, graham crackers with marshmallows, the little marshmallows and little chocolate bars and we can make s'mores, man. Also, celery, grape jelly, Cap'n Crunch with the little Crunch berries, pizzas. We need two big pizzas, man, everything on 'em, with water, whole lotta water, and Funyons.

Oh Snap Alert 

Read the last 2 pages of the E8 board. Not direct quotes but it is said that...

The E8 has a better football tradition than the LL
IC joining the LL would be going to a lesser conference

Oh no he did'ennnn.

[Regulator]

Interesting topic- and I agree with the wet blanket.....I have a hard enough time venturing into the public without wanting to bounce trash cans off peoples heads....imagine if you now have half those people out there running around all high.

Since there is no simple impairment test, then you cannot let it go legal.  If they did legalize it, where do you draw the line?  At driving? Ok at work?  Public places?  

I do, however, disagree with the Rev, the government would be nasty at running a farm.  They would have all these crazy scientists creating the best stuff, not this home grown bs floating around.  Who cares if running it puts the guys doing this illegally out of business, shouldn't that be the goal anyway?
