@2 He also said "clusterfuck", which my Mozilla spellchecker doesn't seem to like.

@3 Are you afraid they will tap into some unkown or misunderstood atomic force? Maybe that's how OUR Big Bang happened. A science experiment gone wrong. Intelligent design my ass!

@1,@2 - Either a case of the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing, or Greg Nickels and Tom Carr having a laugh. I'm guessing it's the former.

Charles, to be fair, you should mention that the United States has ten times the population of Canada. That has more to do with the availability of the vaccine than the populations of BC and Washington state.
Nov 19 Mahtli69 commented on From the Blotter: Parking Lot Assualt and a Bad Reaction to Cocaine and Wine.
An adverse reaction to taking too much cocaine and wine results from partying like a rock star all night, but capping it off in the back of a police car. Talk about a buzz kill.

"less likely to play with boys' toys like cars or to join in rough and tumble games"

And more likely to develop a rabid obsession with bicycles, miniature light-rail trains, cuddling, and Tetris.
Nov 18 Mahtli69 commented on Biden Tells It Like It Is.
Taking off the gloves and telling it like it is, politics be damned -- That's the VP's job.

Dick Cheney, as much as I disagree with him, was pretty good at it too.
Nov 16 Mahtli69 commented on Dick Cheney/Sarah Palin 2012?.
Why not Dick Cheney? Because he is a Lord of the Sith, and unable to disguise it.
Nov 15 Mahtli69 commented on Snowboarding Under the Influence.
Forget where to get a can of Fat Tire. The question is Why?

Safety-minded resort managers = Litigation-minded resort managers

I applaud all of these efforts to legalize pot. It's about time. And, of course, legalizing it for personal use is not the same as legalizing it for use while driving.

However, I'll throw this out there for the sake of argument ... Alcohol impairment is easy to detect. If someone is drunk, a breathalyzer will quantify that. However, if someone is stoned, there is no way to tell. A pee test will only show if pot has been consumed in the last several days or weeks. There is no way to tell if someone is stoned at that moment, other than qualitative signs like droopy eyelids or excessive snacking.

I know from first-hand experience that alcohol impairs motor skills FAR more than pot does. So, I'm not freaked out at all by the idea of a mountain full of stoned snowboarders (or,even, a road full of stoned drivers). And, I agree with @4, this law will do nothing about usage. People who like to ski or snowboard stoned have been doing it already, and nobody has noticed.
Nov 14 Mahtli69 commented on The Gitmo Diet.
Every time I see the "before" picture, I can't help but see the internet sensation mash-up with Rosie O'Donnell's face.

I don't think I'll have that trouble with the "after".
