When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead,
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said:
"Feed your head. Feed your head. Feed your head"

This gives "pothead" a whole new meaning. Ditto for the terms "stoned out of his skull" and "head case".

C'mon guys, at one time each of us had a skull-bong of some sort or another. Mine was ceramic; this kid simply wanted the real thing. It's just another alternative lifestyle choice that we should all be tolerant of. After all, the dead guy wasn't using his skull anyway.

...a sure sign that the long New England winter has taken its toll on the psyche of the natives.

Morrisville is a squalid, pathetic sad little burg that hasn't seen better days for at least 100 years, if ever. God, I hated living there.
Here's a link to a local news story with a picture of the descecrated grave:
http://www.wcax.com/Global/story.asp?S=3196051&nav=4QcRYXTS
And the priceless quote: "Police say it's a disturbing case that's left many in Morrisville wondering how such a crime could happen in such a peaceful spot. "
Mo'ville (and Morristown, since they're mostly the same) is not my definition of a "peaceful spot." It's a grotty little shithole where drunken hicks while away their lives whupping each other and getting frighteningly ugly women pregnant.
And who the fuck wants to smoke grass out of a dead man's head?! Shoot, back when I wore a younger man's clothes I refused to smoke out of anything nast or chemically reactive. No PVC pipes, no aluminum soda can pipes and absolutely NO rotting corpse bongs. I suppose he planning on just using the skull but still, yecch.

To each his own I guess, sounds like this punk and Karlito like a that rich skully goodness in every bong hit. I think I'll just stick to Marlboros. This makes that tar and nicotine seem pretty mild, nearly wholesome!

In other words, smoking too much weed really does turn you into a zombie. When that kid gets the muchies, watch out!

Actually, I prefer rich skunky goodness, but a bit of skull on the side never hurt...

$100,000 sure seems like a high bail for what I presume is a misdemeanor.

And all this time, Dennis Leary thought he was only joking.
"Dude, I made a bong out of my head! Put the pot in this ear and suck it out of this ear, go ahead, take a hit!"
