who cares that people smoke weed, really. I don't even smoke and i think hating it is dumb. Its not the drug that makes you stupid, its the persona. What im saying is that if you have to worry about some idiot smoking weed, you need to find a better way to spend your time. Go take a bong hit.

What is this?

A young adult partying and seemingly having multiple partners?

Oh the humanity of it all.

He knew exactly what to do with it?

No kidding, it's not exactly a complex device.

+1

I couldn't have said it better myself. Well, actually I could have, but I'm not going to. Your post is sufficient enough.

Ya know, with his large size and Olympic-Swimmers-Lungs, I'd be worried that he'd bogart that sucker and kill my whole bag! Throw the book at him!!!!

If only he had been engaging in State-Approved activities like binge-drinking and chain-smoking...........

Drug rehab centres will be flocking to endorse him. Win-Win.

well its not going to make his muscles exhaust faster. Thats all he really is, his muscles dont tire as easily compared to others. That's why he wins.

I'd argue it's a bit more than that. Something along the lines of training his ass off for the last decade.

Look, the guy has spent the vast majority of his life in a pool, training every day and also (according to my girlfriend) is the male equivalent of a butterface.

So now he's reaping the rewards of his success. I certainly can't blame him. Hell, maybe it's worth losing some endorsement dollars to kick back and enjoy the good life.

But "He's the gold medal winner of bong hits"? We all know the level of journalism has gone down the crapper, and most of the time that's discouraging. But the flipside is we get gems like this.
