HA! Oh god..., and I quote (horribly out of context) Lisab in another thread: "4.4 pounds isn't a lot of [marijuana]..."

It's all falling into place... the community spirit, the green woodsy avatar, the laid back demeanor, the love of whole cakes and custard pies?!

J'accuse!

True, would have been better if they'd stopped at 3.1. Nice catch.

I think I'd have been a bit more amazed if they'd got the pi symbol out of it.

Cheesecake. The worst name for the best cake. I recall the first time I was offered cheesecake and thinking it was going to be a strange mix of cheddar, sponge, icing and cream. I ventured to have some anyway; I was always an adventurous child when it came to food!

I'm sorry, at this point in my life I'm like a trained seal; I hear, "cheesecake" and I perk up and look around for treats.

Is this a level, or are you actually that much of a buzzkill?
