Overheard in Austin
| Young guy, wearing sunglasses inside of Quack's Bakery in the middle of the night, talking to a girl sitting near him: | Do you reside here frequently? |
| At I Luv Video on Airport Blvd., a female customer holding a DVD case: | Is Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle any good? |
| Dreadlocked Male Employee: | Uh, that depends. Do you smoke weed? |
| Female customer: | I guess I could make a stop on the way home. |
| DME: | There's a Holy Trinity of pot-smoking movies. The first is Half Baked, then Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle... uh, I can't remember what the third one is. |
| Female Employee: | That's a joke. |
| DME: | No, seriously. I really can't remember what it is. |
| A student's response to the journal prompt, “Describe the good and bad things about growing up.”: | The good things about growing up are you can grow stronger and pubic hair. |
| One South Congress, two college aged women in empire waistline skirts are surprised to run into each other: | Oh Hey! Between your big sunglasses and my big sunglasses I couldn't recognize you! |
| Drunk blonde in the ladies' room at The Parish: | OH MY GOD, it smells like a hamster in here. |

That "I heart video" quote is classic. But the true Holy Trinity of Stoner Films are:
* "This Is Spinal Tap"
* "Dazed And Confused"
* "The Wizard Of Oz" with Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon playing over the audio.
(They did the last one at Alamo a couple of nights ago but I missed it.) Praise the lord.
Hmm, what about "The Big Labowski"
Up in Smoke???

Another great post!
That post about growing up almost made me want to be a teacher for half a second. The poor punctuation and grammar make it even cuter:) Yay for growing stronger and pubic hair!

Is that a cartoon about two fat Jewish guys who eat ice cream and chase each other around the house?
