In Wisconsin there is a State Park known as Bong State Recreation Area. Look it up on reserveamerica.com...just type in "bong" in step 2 of the search function. I wonder what grows there....

Here is an archived site with his old page. Click on the picture.

I knew of the site, he shouldn't be in prison while the street drug dealers and child rapists run free. It's only because of his fame he is in prison.

I pass it every time I drive south on my way to Chicago, "Behind the Cheddar Curtain". I'm pretty sure it's named after the fighter pilot Richard Bong of WW II fame.

I like his little portraits he embedded into the 'glass drops' on his work. You can just barely make it out in the picture I posted.

I lived next to a 'Higher Source' glass blower who was made unemployed by our incomprehensible AG. He is sitting back enjoying unemployment for now, and then he will have no problem finding work as the production of this product goes on undaunted by the AG's window dressing of a crusade against this sort of glassware.

Our area lost a healthy company employing many and drawing in much needed capital into our economically hurting area. He didn't hurt production, but what has moved into the underground economy here is not paying the taxes 'Higher Source' was.

I don't toke, but I see on logic in the injustice of picking on cannabis smokers and regulating legal tobacco and alcohol. Where they are disfunctional and vendictive, we need to get the government out of people's lives. This war on the people who smoke weed only throws gasiline on the fire of this issue.

GONG!

It's lame. Ashcroft is lame. He picked the easiest mark you could pick. Busting Tommy Chong for selling bongs? It's a joke, right? I smell a movie script.

I keep thinking I've seen that collar mechanism before. In that size or so. Materials handling stuff.

It looks somehow familiar to me too. The FBI has said several times that the collar appears homemade. It doesn't to me. The flanges look machine stamped. No one would set up such a complicated and expensive method of production to make one or even a dozen pieces. Certainly not when a functionally equivalent piece could be cut from some steel stock or scrap metal with an $80 sawzall.

I keep expecting someone to identify its normal use anytime now. It occurred to me that it is a very dated piece of equipment that was replaced by something that looks quite different now. Maybe decades old. Therefore no one in the industry today recognizes it. Many have wondered if it came from a scrapyard. That fits with what I'm thinking here.

I thought he invented the bong. His picture should be next to "stoner" in the dictionary.

Set and Matchpoint go to Dane !!

And of course the point you are helping Dane make is that justice is an earned privilege dependent on voicing a politically correct opinion.

Now that you guys have won the game you can claim your prize. The one and only, original Bill of Rights!!! Rahhhhhhhhh!

Would the two of you like some privacy while you wipe each other's butts with it? Or do you need some help with that?

Perhaps a call to MRS. Williams would be helpful in my growth as your perfect counterpart...she's had something like 50 years of practice at buffing paint and replacing bearings!

Maybe she could help you move my barbells up to the attic! ; )

Dane isn't even in the game...he is just ranting against folks different from himself... if you are like him, give up any hopes of a happy life now!...
The WOD is all about money and power, not about marijuana!
A person from the left isn't worthless, just wrong!
They have a right to their opinions! We have the right to be RIGHT!
