If you answered "Yes" to all of the above questions, you should go find a cliff or a bridge somewhere, then take your entire fucktarded family. Have all of them jump off to their deaths, and after that jump to yours. Then there will be less fucktards in the gene pool."

No lie, a lesbian friend of mine once shared drinks in a hot tub with Phil in Colorado. She said he was a bit of a jerk. Of course, she hates all men so I really can't go by her opinion.

I felt pretty good about it until i got a call from someone in another state:
"duuuude. i forgot my passphrase..."
How did you do that?
"we were rilly baked
i've always wondered how much damage i did to the marijuana movement by handing a bunch of stoners a tool that required memorizing a passphrase...
my bad!
