ASPEN, Colo. (AP) - Cheech and Chong may have joked about marijuana in their movies, but the comedians say they didn't touch the stuff when the cameras were rolling.
"We tried one time and we wasted so much film," said Tommy Chong, recalling a scene in "Up in Smoke." "We were in the car waiting for the cue, you know. And the camera's rolling and we're sitting there, you know, and neither one of us heard the cue."
Chong and former partner Cheech Marin appeared together for the first time in 20 years at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival.
Chong said he isn't ashamed of introducing millions of Vietnam-era kids to marijuana. "When you think of how many kids died drinking alcohol, I feel I've saved millions of lives," he said.
Marin said their humor was appreciated by an unexpected group: "Cops were our biggest fans. Because they dealt in what we were dealing with everyday, but in reality... they saw the essential humor and they laughed."
Marin and Chong, who recently completed a nine-month sentence for trying to sell marijuana pipes on the Internet, said they are writing two new films, "Grumpy Old Stoners" and "Lord of the Smoke."
Hey Dave, Dave? Open the door man, its me!
Where do you get that, from your anarchist handbook?
It's the power "to regulate commerce among the several states". Not "interstate" commerce. Not commerce "between the states". Read your U.S. Constitution before you go off on one of your little snits.
"Constitution enumerates our right to UNLIMITED private contract"
Where?
I was wondering the same.
In retrospect, I should have just asked him if he was afraid of the TRUTH instead of just going off...
but then again, I DID warn him in post #37 not to start with me.
I've had dealings with him and his kind before.
It's not Dave it's Georgie Tirebiter.
Dave's not here, man.
Mr. Mojo: Do you know if George Harrison was the guitarist on Cheech y Chong's classic "Basketball Jones" song? I thought it was Tommy Chong, who plays some mean licks...
Dave, Dave.....its ME! Hey man, open the door!
Uh, Peorgie Tirebiter, he's a spy and a girl delighter!
High heel sneekers and the "egamuffin."
That's what I've always thought.
And yep, TC can play a little axe.
"Dose high heel choos, man?"
Everything you know is wrong. Dogs flew spaceships! The Aztecs invented the vacation...
AHEM! Why don't you try picking up dictionary?
From law.com:
interstate commerce
n. commercial trade, business, movement of goods or money, or transportation from one state to another,
regulated by the federal government according to powers spelled out in Article I of the Constitution.
And while your at it, answer the question;
WHERE in the US Constitution is the jurisdiction, power, or authority to tell the people what they can posses or ingest?
Marin was great in "Tin Cup".
,,, "hey Margaret, look what they've brought in now. Rin tin tin... oh, friendly pup, isn't he?"
And another light-hearted and amusing thread goes down the WOD crapper.
Yes. It was Harrison.
I KNEW we were all Bozos on this bus!
Oh Skooz, honey I AM sorry!
I always liked Tommy Chong, and to know he was railroaded in the way he was is bad enough, but to have the WODers show up & try to spout their ignorance was just too much. :(
