Touch of Grey

Hippies. Eric Cartman hates them, and I don’t hate them I just find their music boringly repetitive, redundant, lame and also redundant. There’s nothing inherently wrong with liking lame music (except Rush), it’s just not my thing. I find listening to Abba or even throwing feces against a wall to be more entertaining. I found myself reading the local newspaper and on the front page was a story titled "Avoiding a Superjam"and my first thought was Bonnaroo, that dirty stinky hippy Jam festival in Tennessee that attracts groups of people who will wait in line 7 hours just to park and then camp without any real hygienic considerations. But upon closer inspection I realized that the “Super Jam” they were talking about was for the Super Bowl. I live in metro Detroit. There’s going to be some traffic here at the start of February (although a much smaller crowd now that Indy and the Pats have been defeated). That makes a lot more sense than, well, hippies.

ONE THING I KNOW FOR A FACT:
On this date in 1778 Captain James Cook discovered Hawaii. The natives threw rocks at the sailors, stole their boats, played shitty music and got high while dancing in circles, beating drums and playing hackey sack. No, wait, that’s not correct. Anyhow, after having one of their smaller boats stolen, Captain Cook was killed in an attempt to get the boat back. While leaving the rest of the crew fired cannon rounds onto the beach where the natives were standing, killing a group of them, which is probably why it became a leper colony. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
