Nessy, did you say smoke mushrooms? Who does that? Mushrooms are for eating. But, I have smoked a banana peel once. Got some bad advice from some hippy chick who said it was great and get you off. Should have considered the source. Ah, water under the bridge now. I forgave her and even went to her wedding where half the people got naked and did the sunrise on the mountain thang. She looked so pretty and easy to spot. She was the only one with braided armpits adorned with pretty bows for the blessed event.
From the social-politico scene. Mr. West. His mind just ain’t right.

Oh Punchy, I never said Druids sacficifed virgins to the gods. Some other dude said that. Besides, where would a Druid find a Virgin?
Hey, i don’t actually care if you come from a long line of sheep humpers (or goats for that matter) or what religion you are, or how fat or thin is your wallet, or whether you live in a shithole abode or not, or what you do at play and or work. You misjudged me, my good man.
I do not hold you accountable nor responsible for the wicked abdominal secrets of your forefathers. Nope. I don’t care one iota if your Grandpappy got et up by my Grandpappy. Makes no never mind to me. Figured it was just a little history lesson, we all got one or more in the woodpile somewhere. Got lib women in my blood, a curse of genetics, not environment . That is soooo long ago and I know that ancient history of your people should not be pinned on you personally, even if it is true. This is the new age and we have come a long way since peoplekind first stomped grapes.
Now that we got that virgin sacrifice thing out of the way, I will toss you an olive branch. I never believed that so called common knowledge about ancient Druids doing the human sacrifice thing. Never, not me, not once.
Hey, that was long ago. But, the stories have spinning around for centuries about the Druids not doing just the run of the mill plain ole human sacrifice thang, but CHILD sacrifice. That is one horrible tag to get pinned with. I could see why you are rather touchy on the subject. That pisses everybody off for. kings to villagers, even St. Paddy. Child sacrifffff……I can’t even say it….that takes it way past cannibllism and into a whole new dept of soulless depravity, if true. But, I pay that stuff no never mind. I don’t believe it, and it’s outrageous to be slimed when innocent. A travesty of justice. A rating that must be righted. I hear your pain, my brother.

Here is one for the po’ ol’ pollehad –
In total, about 65 percent of black Americans said they support Trump’s immigration compromise that would build a border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, end chain migration and the Diversity Visa Lottery, in exchange for allowing only the nearly 800,000 illegal aliens enrolled in the President Obama Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program to remain in the country.
Additionally, Hispanic Americans are even more supportive of reducing immigration than black Americans. The poll found that about 66 percent of Hispanics said they’d like to see the DACA-enrolled population remain in the U.S. so long as chain migration and the Visa Lottery are both ended and a border wall is constructed at the southern border.

re: Child sacrifice.
Probably done by Carthage, although there is some argument on it. The big Mesoamerican cultures (really, anything that shocks a 16th C. conquistador is pretty bad). Modern day sub-Saharan Africa. I’ve never heard of any child sacrifice by Celts, but my money is on the Druids going through with the adult version, it’s just in too many primary sources.

Time to stop the coddling!
The report stated a male suspect grabbed the student from behind, pulled the student behind bushes and attempted to sexually assault the student.
The suspect is described as possibly a taller male, with dark hair and gray spots, possible beard or mustache. It was reported that he smelled of alcohol and may possibly be homeless or transient. It was also reported that another person in the area interrupted the attack and may have hit the suspect, the release stated.

Oh Punchy, that is not how you float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. Man, you act as if you got stung by a bee. I am quite disappointed in you. Very uncharacteristic for a guy to cover up on the ropes, kicking back and wearing the opponent out. What, someone land a good one to the ribs? Was it something I said, little buddy? Was it? You sorta remind me of the butcher who wanted a piece of ewe….or the waitress who backed into the meat slicer and go a little behind in her orders. Not like you to go about pouting and licking wounds and moaning. Kinda makes you look like you aren’t enjoying yourself or something.
I never once thought that you personally mate with sheep. But, if ya do, I wouldn’t hold that against ya. Whatever floats your boat. Boy, touchy touchy. That must have got too close to home.
Oh, I stand by every word I said about the Highlanders. You would think they would have learned to spray a big orange X on the sheep that kicks by now….just like they goat humpers version of practicing safe sex. But nooo. On a more positive note, thosev kilts work fairly good, especially since that zipper sound has made the sheep rather gun shy.
Rest up, little buddy and get your jab, jab, jab mojo back. Maybe you got allergies or something. Very disappointed you walked right into that one and then hoped into the whambulance. Guess it’s just karma for all those awful things you said about Ray Moore being a child molester and all. Heck if I know. Suck it up, buttercup. Team Blue is counting on you. Gotta think of others.

Peace for the neighborhoods.
Concerning personal grows, the state allows six plants indoors. Nevada County would allow no outdoor grows in residential areas, including residential agricultural.
The draft ordinance would allow a maximum of six personal plants outdoors in general agricultural, agricultural exclusive, forest and timberland production zones. However, supervisors have yet to set a minimum parcel size required for those outdoor personal grows.
It’s possible the ordinance could require anyone growing for personal use to register with the county.

In supporting Grenell’s nomination, Log Cabin Republicans were joined by prominent conservative voices. They included talk show host Hugh Hewitt; the president’s son Donald Trump, Jr.; American Conservative Union Chairman Matt Schlapp; Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah; former George W.

With the exception of Stuart Milk, co-founder of the Harvey Milk Foundation, the only LGBT advocacy organization that stepped up in support of Grenell’s nomination was Log Cabin Republicans.
