Ontterio Smith of the Vikings had one in his baggage at the airport. Of course it showed on the security screening. He had failed two prior drug screenings and I guess he was due for another. He also had vials of dried urine with him that he had for his "cousin"
Edit: Boxster and I were posting the same thing
Thanks guys. I couldn't remember his name. All I can remember was that he proclaimed himself SOD (Steal Of the Draft).
I used this avatar on a couple of other websites as well, because I love Orangutans and liked the hat & dreds. I never really looked at the image very closely and didn't understand for a long time why people made jokes about weed all the time. Someone finally pointed out that Rasta is holding a joint in her hand. I honestly had never noticed!I see you in your avatar. I'm sure you have "tested" plenty of drugs.
"Special Brownies" and home grown were popular with the thespian crowd that I was a part of in high school, mostly at cast parties. I wasn't even mildly interested. In my late 20's, my sister talked me into trying it. Not a good experience...I don't like being out of control of what I do or say. It's also why I avoid drinking heavily. Guess I'm a goody two-shoes at heart. That, or a control freak.
Side note - that sister STILL loves her weed, and lives in Washington. She's a happy camper now. The other sister is overly fond of wine and whiskey. It's very disconcerting to call either of them in the evenings, because a good portion of the time they have been "enthusiastically imbibing" and conversation is a struggle. That really makes me sad...and glad that I'm not the same way.
Based upon embarrassing Vikings legal problems, this one probably is more embarrassing than when Keith Millard told police "my arms are more powerful than your guns" when he was pulled over for a traffic stop.
It's probably less embarrassing than when fired Vikings president Roger Headrick broke into his former office by crawling through the ductwork.
Solid choices. You could have also gone with the sex cruise a few years ago.
However, if we're going to rehash painful Viking criminal moments that are non Super Bowl related, I've got the ultimate trump card:
That trade was a felony.
Mike Lynn must have been on PCP when he made that deal.
Def Leppard's "Hysteria" album was released 30 years ago today. It's one of those rare works that I can listen to all the way through and not want to skip a single track. Billboard.com has a good article on the history of "Hysteria" and how it came together in spite of years of setbacks.

In truth, the scumbag defendant in the case I was working on was not embarrassed at all.
Work win:
I just received an E-mail with 15 people copied in on it (plus my boss) calling me out in a ****** tone for a service issue. I replied back (to everyone of course) by copying and pasting an E-mail conversation from 4 days ago that documented the same person advising me of this issue in advance and to "not to worry about it" because "it's on our end" .

Lady just doubled down and included the owner of my company. I'll tread a little more lightly, but this should be fun.
Up the ante and copy Trump.
4 more emails. She still hasn't answered my initial response and has escalated the venom. Owner just walked over to my desk with a bewildered look. I wasn't sure what to expect. He then threw his hands up and asked, "What the **** is this lady's problem?"
Then he told me not to respond to her anymore and that he would handle it.
I'm pretty sure I'm not getting a Christmas card from her this year.

I had my usual bad experience at the auto shop the other day. The service guy fixed my bill when I told him (and showed him) what was wrong. He showed the cashier where he had changed the amount and gave him the calculator that still showed the new total and said it out loud in front of me. The cashier put in the wrong (old) amount and started to run my card. I caught it just in time. The cashier started railing on the service guy about how he didn't tell him he had changed the amount. He wouldn't listen to me when I said, "He did." He started yelling at the service guy in front of me. The service guy looked at me; I looked at him, shrugged and half rolled my eyes. Better at that point to just walk away so we both did.
....and there's the apology E-mail
