<p>This is the tail my new surf board. Notice the gash from the end to the leash plug. That's not supposed to be there. I'm not too sure what happened - but now I have two boards that need fixing - and the surf is just starting to get good - after about a month and a half of being shitty.</p>

<![CDATA[<p>Maybe you've given some thought to this subject before? Most likely not. How to give a friend a pipe is something any peace loving <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippy" target="_blank">hippy</a> should know how to do. And since most people do not fall under this category - myself included - I just like to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marijana#Smoking" target="_blank">smoke herb</a> - I figured I'd shed some light on the issue.</p>

<p>First - find a pipe that suits the lucky soon to be recipient. You don't want to go and give a six chambered four foot <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bong" target="_blank">bong</a> to someone who just started smoking a week ago - unless you don't like them. Or have the desire to render them useless. You should pay close attention to the little details - is it made of glass? Clay? Wood? Toilet-paper roll? Does it have pretty paintings on it? Is there a carb?</p>

<p>Second - contemplate the best time and place to surprise the lucky bastard. 5 minutes before a mid-term probably isn't the best idea. Unless of course you're still pissed off about him smoking all your shit. Now <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4:20" target="_blank">4:20 PM on a Sunday afternoon - just in time to settle in and watch some Football is more like it.</p>

<p>Third - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:ST-3-bud.jpg" target="_blank">pack it with some good green</a>! What the hell is the point to giving someone an empty pipe!?!? That's like getting a remote control car for Christmas - only to find out you have no batteries! </p>

<p>Fourth - toke up!</p>

<p><img src="http://www.704one.com/blog_imgs/10-17-06_01.jpg"></p>

<p>I got this for my good friend #*@@&. I bought if for him on my honeymoon as a thank you gift for hanging in there with me throughout the whole ordeal. I gave it to him the day he moved out of his apartment - after breaking up with his girlfriend. We christened his new place. Thanks #*@@&</p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>About a month ago - I got a ticket. Not a speeding ticket - or anything of that nature. I was surprised with an Expired Validation ticket. Yes - my tags where out of date - by 2 months. But - I'd already paid my registration fees - but had overlooked that this year - I was required to get a <a href=""http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smog_check>Smog Check</a>. Through a process that took entirely too long - namely - a letter from the DMV telling me that I needed to PASS a Smog Check - and then my tags would be sent to me. </p>

<p>So I go to check my car Smogged one day. I wait about 15 min at a Unical 76 - with my car in their shop. Then the guy comes out and tells me that their machine is broken - and it won't be fixed until the next day. Great. Ok - so I go to another spot that's somewhat close to my apartment. Their Smog Technician is on lunch break. So - I didn't get a Smog Check this day.</p>

<p>A few weeks go buy - and my Wedding was fast approaching - so I was pre-occupied with that - as well as getting ready for my Honeymoon. When - low and behold - I have a ticket waiting for me. $50. Not a lot - but more than I really wanted to pay.</p>

<p>I followed the steps outlined to Contest the Ticket - and I won. Just got the letter today. Needless to say - I did a little jig and gave myself a pat on the back.</p>

<p>Fight the Power!</p>]]>

<p>Have LOTS of updates - but will get to that some other time - enjoy:</p>

<p>One day a teacher had a taste test with her students. She picked a little boy to do the first test. She blindfolded him, put a Hershey kiss in His mouth and asked, "Do you know what it is?" <br />
"No, I don't," said the little boy.<br />
"Okay, I'll give you a clue. It's the thing your daddy wants from your Mom before he goes to work."<br />
Suddenly, a little girl at the back of the room  yelled, "Spit it out! It's a piece of ass!"</p>]]>

<p><br />
Little Johnny watched his daddy's car pass by the school playground and go into the woods. Curious, he followed the car and saw Daddy and Aunt Jane in a passionate embrace. </p>

<p>Little Johnny found this so exciting that he could not contain himself as he ran home and started to tell his mother, "Mommy, I was at the playground and I saw Daddy's car go into the woods with Aunt Jane. I went back to look and he was giving Aunt Jane a big kiss, then he helped her take off her shirt. Then Aunt Jane helped Daddy take his pants off, then Aunt Jane....."  At this point Mommy cut him off and said, "Johnny, this is such an interesting story, suppose you save the rest of it for supper time. I want to see the look on Daddy's face when you tell it tonight!" </p>

<p>At the dinner table, Mommy asked little Johnny to tell his story. Johnny started his story, "I was at the playground and I saw Daddy's car go into the woods with Aunt Jane. I went back to look and he was giving Aunt Jane a big kiss, then he helped her take off her shirt. Then Aunt Jane helped Daddy take his pants off, then Aunt Jane and Daddy started doing the same thing that Mommy and Uncle Bill used to do when Daddy was in the Navy" </p>

<p>Mommy fainted! </p>

<p>THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS: <br />
Sometimes you need to listen to the whole story before you interrupt.</p>]]>
