stickies ? - what exactly are "bong hits 4 jesus" and what does it mean

[faithnotgreed]

"steal your face but not your vote"

by the way i cracked up when i saw the bong hits stickie and im a self-professed jesus freak
and i sooooo believe in voter fraud but i dont get what steal your face means - is it related to the bong hits?

and is anyone else having problems reading half of these stickie notes? the backgrounds and the foregrounds have my eyes spinning

any thoughts?
on topic or not

1. Many Country "red-necks" like pot and Jesus.

Buy Jesus.

I've lived in small town America.

[faithnotgreed]

2. i can dig that

and since youre kind enough to answer my question - what does "buy jesus" mean?

[patrice]

7. It's a pun - partly - and criticism also of people who make a living

on Religion, but then I was raised old RC. Vows of poverty and humble service don't look much like what you see on TV.

The pun is on an old coloquialism, "By Jesus!" - a derivative of "By the Lord" or "By God!" of something of thatsort.

[faithnotgreed]

14. gotcha

thanks for that

i definitely understand where that comes from - what we see and hear is literally worlds away from what jesus was about but then again how could we wage wars and spread hate and protect our way of life if Almighty God didnt tell us to

sarcasm off

[patrice]

23. How? - by Dishonesty, I'm sorry to say.

BTW, I'm kind of fond of Jesus too, for real, but also Real mad about what has happened in my church, ergo, the attitude.

[faithnotgreed]

29. very much so. hideous it is

and you have absolutely every right to be pissed
i dont mean that to sound like you need or want my blessing but i really get why people dont want anything to do with religion let alone a specific figure like Jesus

He is absolutely unrecognizeable in this world - and im truly sorry for what you have experienced

[patrice]

30. He's here. The church he belongs to has no walls, no name. It is

every-where.

[faithnotgreed]

37. right on patrice

im with you friend and im glad that you can see the love where others obviously cannot (in reference to all those proclaiming they represent God)

[patrice]

40. I'm not the only one.

People are waking up to Jesus in one another.

[karlrschneider]

9. Jesus puts his money in the Chase Manhattan Bank

Jesus saves, Jesus saves, Jesus saves...


(To tune of Battle Hymn of the Republic)

:evilgrin:

[patrice]

13. Saving is Good.

Yeah Jesus!

[faithnotgreed]

16. haha

[karlrschneider]

26. We used to sing that back in the 60s, but I've forgotten most of

the lyrics...

3. Just a toast to the son of the maker

of the blessed herb. :hippie:

[Sequoia]

5. Hey, it's almost 4:20 on the west coast Jesus lovers!!

[faithnotgreed]

8. i can toast that

thanks friend

[Loge23]

4. That's a Grateful Dead thing

"Steal your face" is a line from a Dead tune which has become an expression of sorts.
Not sure what "bong hits 4 Jesus" is, but it's been awhile since I have seen a bong!

[faithnotgreed]

6. ah ok - i have a ton of dead stuff but clearly not listening to it enough

or i would have known
the gd icon should have given it away

thanks

[Loge23]

11. In the true DU tradition... a link!

Enjoy!

[faithnotgreed]

18. thank you kindly

im off to visit right now

[shadowknows69]

17. The line is in the song "He's Gone"

Like I told you
What I said
Steal your face
right off your head

[shadowknows69]

10. Those Dead Heads is the craziest people

n/t

[Kutjara]

12. If I remember the drug-addled daze (sic) of my youth aright...

...'steal your face' was something of a stoner game. You'd float over to a fellow inhaler and wave your hand in front of their face saying 'I steal your face.' The 'victim' would then often go into a mildly paranoid frenzy, pleading that their face be returned. This occasioned general hilarity among the rest of the gathered celebrants.

Like most things done under the influence, it seemed pant-wettingly funny at the time, yet a bit less so in these straitened times.

[patrice]

19. Have you ever played Villagers and the WereWolves?

[shadowknows69]

21. Once with my wife and a friend of hers but

that's for another forum.}(

[patrice]

28. It's a lot of fun with as many people as you can manage.

I've played it in large, multi-age groups, using a deck of cards to identify the roles - - E - v - e - r - y - one got into! it and laughed lots and lots and played the different roles with a lot of fun.

[shadowknows69]

31. We basically just got down to

tearing clothes, biting flesh and howling. B-)

[Kutjara]

22. OK, now I'm scared.

I'd forgotten all about that one. I've actually got goosebumps thinking about it. Talk about repressed memories. :D

[shadowknows69]

20. Or the reverse of that putting someone in a bubble

you'd tell the victim they were in a bubble and could hear nothing outside the bubble. then of course on cue someone would mute the music and everyone would instantly silence themselves but go on miming their conversations. ok, yeah it worked on me the first time.B-)

15. Kenneth Starr to take on 'Bong Hits 4 Jesus' case

Kenneth Starr to take on 'Bong Hits 4 Jesus' case

May 4, 2006


JUNEAU, Alaska -- Kenneth Starr, the former Whitewater special prosecutor, will represent the city school board in appealing a court ruling that favored a high school student who displayed a ''Bong Hits 4 Jesus'' banner during an Olympic torch relay.

The school board wants the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case. In April, an appeals court said school officials violated the student's free speech rights when they suspended him for 10 days.

Starr, who is dean at Pepperdine Law School in Malibu, Calif., has agreed to take the case for free, said Phyllis Carlson, president of the school board.

''Federal law requires us to maintain a consistent message that use of drugs like marijuana is harmful and illegal. Yet, when we try to enforce our policies, our administrators are sued and exposed to damage awards,'' she said.

24. i am so out of it

(the loop i mean)
i hadnt heard of this

how ridiculous can things get but then again maybe this will get starr off clintons back for once

[patrice]

35. My curriculum was censored once.

For a muppet movie called the Labyrinth. It also had David Bowie, as the Goblin King of course, in it.

[Mythsaje]

27. Yeah, what do you know...

even if our alleged "representatives" don't do anything about the outright lies from the government and suppression of civil rights like free speech, at least we can (for now) trust the courts to do something about it.

Ken Starr desperately needs a life.

[patrice]

34. Pot - Definitely has it's Red Neck constituency.

Take it from an "old-timer".

[Canuckistanian]

25. Bong hits for Jesus

It was a famous case for the ACLU in Juneau, AK.

A kid held up a sign sying "Bong hits for Jesus" during an Olympic Torch rally.

The kid was suspended from school for it by his principal. During a school holiday and not on schools property.

They ACLU won the case. The High School then appealed to the USSC.

KEN STARR is taking on the case pro bono for the High School.

[faithnotgreed]

32. thank you for that

when ian posted the link to the story i wasnt sure if that was the start of "bong hits 4 jesus" or a slogan known from somewhere else that was then put on a banner...

how pathetic this is

thanks for the explanation - i truly hadnt heard of this before though i dont know how ive been on du and not heard of it before

[patrice]

38. That is the problem with it - to the "kids", from their perspective,

it IS petty and demeaning to everyone. It belittles the "authority" that weilds this kind of power.

I used to run a high school newspaper.

[Canuckistanian]

41. I just heard of it last week sometime

I think it was Ken "stained blue dress" Starr that made the news.

[DoYouEverWonder]

33. I don't know

but I'd be glad to take one. You know for Jesus and all that.

[faithnotgreed]

39. if not for the children then at least for jesus

thanks for doing your part

[faithnotgreed]

42. thanks everyone - your tutelage in the ways of bongs and jesus

and the dead and kenneth starr and his fight to protect the children are much appreciated
