I'm glad you mastered the guarguantian task of holding the control key while pushing the "c", move to another website (a Godly one at that), and hold the control key whilst pushing "v". It's almost adorable. Most stoned people can't even manage that.
Awesome. (warning: heathen link)
Now are you here to spam us, or to talk about our Friend Jesus?
Psalm 81:10:
I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt:
open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

Image what a party that must have been: You're playing a little beer pong, smoking a little weed, and hitting on a few college coeds. So far, it sounds like typical run-of-the-mill college party until...in walks Michael Phelps, who at 23 years old already has more gold medals than any other athlete in Olympic history, just looking to have a good ol' time.
Still, the media finds fault with Phelps, a man who served as its darling just six months ago, for simply experimenting with marijuana. How ungrateful is NBC, who admittedly has Phelps to thank for the huge ratings bump they witnessed every time they broadcast his swimming competitions.
Let's put this in context for a second: Phelps is a role model for millions of children around the world and he shouldn't have been smoking weed from a bong, especially in a public setting. But is he any worse than President Clinton who proclaimed "he didn't inhale"?
It's common knowledge that smoking weed is illegal in the United States, but perhaps Phelps was simply posing with paraphernalia and never actually inhaled. Props to Phelps for apologizing while subtly acknowledging that it was no big deal.
As a result of this photo, Michael Phelps lost endorsement deals with Kellogg's Company.
Fortunately, for Phelps, he will not face any changes related to this case and still has plenty of other endorsement deals to fall back on. Regardless of your stance on the legality of marijuana or whether you believe Phelps inhaled, his youthful actions and poor decision-making only proves that he's human; like everyone else, he makes mistakes.
His biggest mistake was letting someone snap that photo. Remember this isn't the first time Phelps has had a run-in with the law. Back in 2004, he pleaded guilty to a DUI charge, which he chalked up to his immaturity.
Whether he's a dumb jock or professional stoner, Phelps is a cinch to win the 420 freestyle once he returns to action after serving a three-month suspension.
Maybe he should embrace his new pot-head image and appear on the cover of High Times. Phelps may be best thing to happen to weed since hydroponics.
If he can toke and still perform with superhuman ability inside a swimming pool, then there may be hope for us all and maybe, just maybe, smoking marijuana isn't that bad after all.

I sent in this post to the DOF and the website he plagarized it from. That fag Phelps might get off with no jail time, but the fool who posted the above won't.

Praise Jesus! God had this planned all along!
Phelps-Labeled Cereal Donated To Food Bank
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ―
U.S.A. swimmer Michael Phelps celebrates victory in the Men's 100m Butterfly Final held at the National Aquatics Centre during Day 8 of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games on Aug. 16, 2008 in Beijing, China.
San Francisco Food Bank officials say they're thrilled about a recent donation by Kellogg Co. of thousands of boxes of breakfast cereal.
And they're intrigued to note the boxes have Olympic athlete Michael Phelps' face on the front.
Kellogg declined to renew Phelps' contract after he was photographed with a pot pipe.
Food bank executive director Paul Ash says he doesn't know specifically why the cereal was donated. Kellogg officials responded to questions Wednesday with an e-mail saying the company routinely donates food that is nearing the end of its shelf life but still good.
Either way, Ash is glad to have the items, which he says can be hard to come by.
"It's a huge convenience food," he said.
