Novoselic will be Mayor of... like somewhere, by 2020. It's all very clear. Right there in the words.

This reminds me of the Cooking with Deadheads skit from Almost Live.

Sadly, this is a clear picture of the reason that the pot prohibition is still on.

@1

Dude, I totally want some sunchips.

He's the mayor of THE FUTURE, duh. Have you ever, like, really thought about the FUTURE? Wait... what?

This SLOG post seems like it was written by stoners.

Oh, get off your high horse. (Sorry.)

They're trying to show where we can be in a decade if we make sensible reforms to marijuana laws now. The Novoselic thing is meant to be playful speculation,even if it's a little tone deaf, and they've somehow managed to pull this thing off for eighty billion years and it's been great. Chill the fuck out. You'll get a call with the name of the keynote speaker in a little while.

Goodness.

heehee - "McPeak".

HARVEST CHEDDAR!

"A 20/20 Vision for the Future"? But your card here says you suffer from glaucoma.

Ecstatically celebrating economic depression is really going to endear them to the squares who've lost their jobs and can't afford to buy pot anymore.

In an unrelated note, why does the Sound Transit ad next to this article feature a guy hanging himself because "Link light rail is here"? Did he give up waiting for a train, which came too late to save him?
13
@ 10: is there any other kind?
14
Novoselic filed papers to run for Clerk of Wahkiakum County on the Grange Party ticket, but subsequently withdrew. Well, I guess after a bong hit or two, that could be mayor.
15
@11 Zing!
16
but this is the UN year of fiber- google it
17
so is mayor krist for or against the tunnel?

Having just watched Last Days (http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Last_Days/7…) about Kurt Cobain, I would think a former member of Nirvana (whoever they were) would be the last person on Earth celebrating drugs.

Or, is killing yourself in a mother-in-law cottage part of the "economic recovery" that hemp will bring?

Special Prize: Go to Google Maps and enter Kurt Cobain's House. Yeah...there it is!

In the Future, google.com and bing.com will have been replaced by bong.com, a free associative search engine that unfailingly returns the first answer you'd get back from a hemp-fested research crew.

But first, we'll have to get the domain name away from these guys.

BTW, How many appletinis did you have at lunch to miss the whole "Krist Novesellic is not really the mayor" thing. Is satire really that hard for you? I mean seriously, to pick up the phone before the flash hit you that the whole release is about the future. You may want to start wearing a helmet in your day to day. Special people can never be too careful.
21
the year of fiber?
22
also #18 there is a huge difference between marijauna and heroin. perhaps the most dangerous thing about the "war on drugs" is lumping the two together in any way, shape or form.
23
@20 Well put, my friend. I don't like the tone of this article at all. Clearly this Christopher Frizzelle has no imagination whatsoever.

And yes, "hempen future" is a great phrase. Hempen means "made of or consisting of hemp". I'd say that's pretty straightforward.

You are nitpicking, Mr. Frizzelle. But more importantly, you are missing the point. You need to open your mind, use your imagination, and maybe read up on satire. DERR 2020 IS IN THE FUTURE DERP DERP THEY MUST BE JUST STUPID POTHEADS THEY'RE TOO BAKED TO KNOW WHAT YEAR IT IS HAHAHAH DERRR. I am personally insulted.
24
I would love to hear from Mr. Frizzelle why this:

"their number has an Eastside area code"

was included in his report.

I don't suspect I will hear anything - cowards, y'know - but I sure would love to know the reasoning.
25
TROLL POST!
26
Um, couldn't you just ask Dominic Holden? Seems like he might know something about HempFest. Jesus.
27
@24: Agreed. I ignored that when I read it, but it does come off as really childish and petty.

Please wait...
