Poll: Do you give a damn or not if Mike Phelps or Tony Bennett enjoy reefer?

[Philosoraptor]

Neither one seems to be negatively affected in his chosen profession, but who knows, maybe its the worst thing that's ever happened in the history of the universe.

[EFerrari]

1. Where's the choice "I hope they do"?

[damntexdem]

15. Yeah, I couldn't "vote."

I care and I'm glad they did it.

[Blue_In_AK]

2. It makes them much more appealing to me, actually.

[Contrary1]

3. Voting yes...neither invited me to join them.

Very selfish of them not to share. :evilgrin:

[azmouse]

4. I've never smoked the stuff myself and I've never cared who did.

[SoxFan]

5. It's Phelps phony-baloney act that bugs me

I'm sick of hearing about his squeaky-clean image and his "I was unpopular in school" schtick. A family member went to school with Phelps, and she says it is an absolute load of crap. He was kind of an arrogant jock, not the humble guy his publicists portray

[shadowknows69]

7. Probably one of those jocks that used to buy a joint from us heads

And who would make sure to say..."Don't tell anyone about this." Yeah, ok asshat, 5 bucks please.

[Siwsan]

6. I don't give a hoot about Michael Phelps

He always struck me as being more than slightly creepy.

As for Tony Bennett - that could partially explain his amazing "cool".

[Owl]

12. Michael Phelps reminds me of Wallace on the "Wallace and Gromit" series.

[JitterbugPerfume]

8. toke on bro!

toke on!

[brettdale]

9. If you win that many gold medals

You can smoke what you like.

[Harry Monroe]

10. Don't bogart that joint, Mike Phelps!!

Pass it over to me!!

[Uncle Joe]

11. I was wondering if maybe Humphrey Bogart partook

or else how did we come up with that expression for a stingy doobie smoker?:shrug:

[JuniperLea]

13. I think it was because Bogie was always pictured

With a cig hanging from his lips. If you hang onto the joint like that, you're Bogarting.

I could be wrong... I may have been stoned when I first asked that question:)

[Harry Monroe]

17. Roll another one...

...just like the other one!!
You've been holding on to it,
and I sure would like a hit!

Don't bogart that joint, my friend.
Pass it over to me.
Don't bogart that joint, my friend.
Pass it over to me.

You can hear this sung in the movie "Easy Rider" and on the Little Feat album, "Waiting for Columbus"

[Harry Monroe]

18. And no, I do not have any idea where the original lyrics came from!!

[JuniperLea]

23. Haven't heard that in years!

Thanks:)

Still, if that was the first reference, where did they get it, or, what did it mean to them?

[Harry Monroe]

14. "Bogart" in weedhead parlance means to be stingy and not share your doobie!!

[Uncle Joe]

19. Yes, I understand that,

I was just wondering how "Bogart's" name got to be trashed but I believe JuniperLea answered my question.

[Beaverhausen]

16. Tony Bennett?

I'm shocked, shocked!!!

[GentryDixon]

20. Isn't it pathetic we must ask this question?

No I do not care. The MSM needs to get to the real issues facing this Country.

[Bluenorthwest]

21. Bennett, well of course he's a viper...

All the cool kids are...and Phelps? I'm glad to hear he's pulling a toke. What I do give a damn about are Phelp's Rosetta Stone commercials, in which he never says a word in Chinese. That bugs me to no end.

[rrneck]

22. Couldn't give a shitl less. nt

[alfredo]

24. As long as the don't bogart that joint.
