Battle for Burlington AFTER PARTY
DO IT - STARTS @ 9PM. I say roll in around 10pm, unless you're going to WALE at UVM which is going to be crazy. Roll DT afterwards - So up or shut up.
An interesting viewpoint from an old white guy
From:
http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/03/31/cafferty.legal.drugs/index.html
Jack Cafferty says America's effort to prohibit illegal drugs doesn't work and should be rethought.
NEW YORK (CNN) -- Here's something to think about:
How many police officers and sheriff's deputies are involved in investigating and solving crimes involving illegal drugs? And arresting and transporting and interrogating and jailing the suspects?
How many prosecutors and their staffs spend time prosecuting drug cases? How many defense lawyers spend their time defending drug suspects?
How many hours of courtroom time are devoted to drug trials? How many judges, bailiffs, courtroom security officers, stenographers, etc., spend their time on drug trials?
How many prison cells are filled with drug offenders? And how many corrections officers does it take to guard them? How much food do these convicts consume?
And when they get out, how many parole and probation officers does it take to supervise their release? And how many ex-offenders turn right around and do it again?
So how's this war on drugs going?
Someone described insanity as doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result each time. That's a perfect description of the war on drugs.
Don't Miss
The United States is the largest illegal drug market in the world. Americans want their weed, crack, cocaine, heroin, whatever. And they're willing to pay big money to get it.
The drug suppliers are only too happy to oblige. The Mexican drug cartels now have operations in 230 American cities. That's 230 American cities!
And we're not just talking about border towns, but places such as Anchorage, Alaska; Boston, Massachusetts; Atlanta, Georgia; and Billings, Montana. They're everywhere. And they don't just bring drugs, but violence and crime as well -- lots of it at no extra charge.
They have been able to infiltrate those 230 cities because we have not bothered to secure our borders. In addition to illegal aliens who come here to work and avail themselves of our social programs, we have criminals from Mexico bringing drugs in, taking money and guns back, and recruiting American kids into their criminal enterprises while they're here. iReport.com: Is it time to legalize pot?
What do you suppose the total price tag is for this failed war on drugs? One senior Harvard economist estimates we spend $44 billion a year fighting the war on drugs. He says if they were legal, governments would realize about $33 billion a year in tax revenue. Net swing of $77 billion. Could we use that money today for something else? You bet your ass we could. Plus the cartels would be out of business. Instantly. Goodbye crime and violence.
If drugs were legalized, we could empty out a lot of our prison cells. People will use this stuff whether it's legal or not. Just like they do booze. And you could make the argument that in some cases alcohol is just as dangerous as some drugs. I know.
Like I said ... something to think about. It's time.

I hope you got a discount Pelski....
Meet Vince Shlomi. He's probably better known to you as the ShamWow Guy, the ubiquitous television pitchman who has been phenomenally successful peddling absorbent towels and food choppers. Shlomi, 44, was arrested last month on a felony battery charge following a violent confrontation with a prostitute in his South Beach hotel room.

HAHA, this picture makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. i found it to be hilarious.

No TS Love in South Dakota
This is a map overlay from my Analytics for the Third Shift Clothing site. So you can see how the New England is holding it down, which makes sense, and the left coast is doing their thing. But you that one white state on the map? That is South Dakota, 0 views in the year that I have the Google app. Now I don't think I've stepped on any toes out there in the Mount Rushmore State, but the Third Shift site has been hit up from 75 countries in 6 continents. So if anybody in Thought Vomit land knows someone out there in the Southern of the Dakota's, HAVE THEM HIT UP THE SITE. Otherwise I'm going to drive out there and do it myself.
Heees Baaaack!!!!
As my first order of business as a newly appointed publisher of Thought Vomit I bring you this Ginger....
You be the Judge....
Alright, self-explanatory.......who's your choice?.......poll in the upper left corner....

Battle for Burlington
Anybody want to battle? After killing it in Bolton Valley this pass weekend, the Battle continues to Jay Peak in 2 weeks for the college throwdown. The Battle for Burlington is a ski/snowboard comp for high school and college students in Vermont. Plenty of free schwag and really cheap lift tickets. If you have a chance - make the drive to Jay or the Stowe battle in a month. Below is a sweet vid by my boy Bryan on this years battle.Fresh Tee Tuesday 3/17
Another addition to Fresh Tee Tuesday is this chocolate skull tee from Ibrahim Dilek. Mostly likely done with a 3D editor of some sort, but caught my eye nonetheless. Clever Idea. Available from threadless.

Fresh Tee Tuesday - 3/10/09 - PanamaGoo

This will blow your mind...
Well at least it blew my mind. I heard about this through Mr. Chris Carter and at first I thought it was fake/a hoax etc. Then I got home, tried it and it def. works. The energy company, GE, really did their homework and developed something that pushes the internet's capabilities. If you have access to a printer and a webcam, I strongly suggest giving this a whirl. Try it here. I feel I have a fairly good handle of the internet world and what it's capable of doing, but this opens a whole new world of virtual reality....augmented reality.

Fresh Tee Tuesday - 3/3/09 - Tuck It In
So I came across this tee on a German t-shirt review blog. I don't know who made it, where to get, or even what the review said. Either way this shirt (hopefully not a Photoshop'd pic) is pretty fucking funny. Just the tip and see how it feels.
SWAGGER JACKIN' 101
I know it's Fresh Tee Tuesday - but I gotta show an example of a big no no in the t-shirt game. Let me show you exhibit A: Hooligan Designs in Brownsville Texas. Came across these guys on Myspace. I'm diggin the tattoo art, very in right now a la Ed Hardy and ever other copy cat trying to make a quick bill. But its your name guys, Hooligan Designs - its taken - more ways then one at that.
I'm all about new independent clothing companies - trust me I know. BUT DUDES DO SOME FUCKING RESEARCH. I know its a fun idea when you're all drunk drawing half ass shit on napkins - but really how long does it take to Google the name you want to use? If you Google "Hooligan Designs" you're 6th on the list kid. - STEP YOUR GAME UP -
For the real Hooligan Designs click here, there can only be one.
