Artesian weed? Is that weed that grows continuously?

Come back to gq.com all week for 40 more reasons to celebrate the land of the free-spirited Kate Upton and home of the brave Nick Offerman.
Tomorrow: 30-21

Whatever it is, I want it. It sounds delightful.

According to an old coworker, Mossad agents were seeing leaving the towers right before they came down. He was supposedly an engineer.

What sad times are these when passing ruffians can mix up 'artesian' and 'artisanal' at will. There is a pestilence upon this land.

I don't think you're going to get away with saying America is good at anything on Fark, subby.

Much less the best at 50 things....

Sounds serious, did they go to 31 flavors afterwards?

It think maybe "artisanal" weed is meant. Like "artisinal" bread, cheese, soap, furniture, pottery, etc., to distinguish it from the cheap, nasty, mass-produced stuff you get from industrial scale grow-ops in apartments, barns, former missile silos and other places convenient for large scale herbiculture.

Artesian weed would be something to see. Let's all stop and imagine a geyser of weed in the land where pies grow on trees and bushes produce hotdogs and buns and seven kinds of condiment*, known to the French as the pays de Cogagne and to hobos and tramps as the Great Rock Candy Mountain.

*Squeeze a tomato there and you get ketchup out of the hollow stem! Fish jump out of the rivers and ponds ready-cooked.

Yes and someone painted "Save Mossad" on a water tower.

I'd like to thank the author for proclaiming, right up front, that Nashville is the coolest city in the South.

That saved me from having to read any further.

I've heard of artesian springs but never artesian weed. How does that work?

He could tell because they all had jackets on that read "MOSSAD" across the back.

Well yea you need to tell who your buddies are when you're setting up those Islams for the fall.

Fake agents, the fact that it reads left to right is a dead give away.

From the UK the link redirects to the gq.co.uk main page. I guess it would just damage our fragile egos to read about anything the US is good at.

For some reason, engineers can be nuts, and I say this as an engineer.

Why do so many engineers become terrorists?

THIS can be said for European porn in general.

Their product is also, by and large, far better directed.

/Yes, I'm serious.
//Yes, the difference is quite noticeable.

Subby's mom...that he submitted something from GQ.....you do the math.

I can't think of anywhere else I'd rather live, but WLTGT would have to improve to suck. (And, yes, I've lived in Europe.)

Rapmaster2000: For some reason, engineers can be nuts, and I say this as an engineer.

My theory is they purposely try to recruit engineers because of their knowledge. If you have an engineer who can be exploited based on past experiences, then that's their golden goose. Most terrorists don't know what a support beam even is. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to Army training next week to learn how to blow up bridges.

I watch way too much porn, but I don't think I've ever sat down and watched an entire film.

American porn is boring.
 
2012-07-03 10:44:15 AM
Regarding the Porn entry. They interviewed porn star James Deen (who allegedly works 360 days a year). Here's a quote:

"Isn't this sort of career exhausting physically, spiritually? Doesn't he sometimes wish he'd picked another calling? No indeed. He loves his work. He'd do it even if he weren't getting paid: 'My life is pretty awesome.'"

Thanks Captain Obvious.

THIS. It's all about reality hate farking; more actual pr0n than erotica. Hell, softcore pr0n is more erotic these days.

Do you argue that the US is the best at kicking your ass for no particular reason? Because I gotta say, they're pretty damn good at that. I can't think of any country better than the US at kicking your ass for no reason whatsoever.

What American porn might look like [NSFW]

Only 18 days until I get to take more pics like this!

Exactly! I don't want to know WHY that guy is having sex with her, I just want to know when my favorite camera angle comes up.

Some that weren't on the list:

Political campaigning - campaigns go on forever here compared to other countries

Unnecessarily large vehicles

Sports - yes, other countries go nuts about soccer, and some also care deeply about a second or third sport as well. The US supports four multi-billion dollar pro sports leagues, as well as two college sports that are also multi-billion dollar enterprises, a multi-billion dollar racing circuit (NASCAR), a number of smaller leagues (MLS, NLL, MLL, AFL), as well as minor and developmental leagues for the major sports. If that weren't enough, we also spend millions per year on golf, tennis, boxing, horse racing, bowling, billiards......No country in the world spends as much to watch and play sports as we do.
