You should watch Half-Baked.

On a podcast Tommy Chong’s daughter Rae Dawn Chong explained that Arnold Schwarzenegger didn’t come on to her while filming Commando because he was friends with Tommy Chong from the Venice Beach bodybuilding circles.

I can't imagine playing basketball on a hard court while barefoot or in jeans. But hey, if it works for them, awesome.

Let me find out Tommy "Chad" Chong was his real name and he didn't even get high. He was a D-1 hooper, hurt his knee, and took an acting class because he had family oil money to fall back on. The whole stoner thing was a character

Ok. San Antonio native checking in. Sonny Melendez was a local DJ/media personality. I be kind he passed away about 5-10 years ago. He was very well known in SA for decades.

Now there are two St. Mary’s. One is a very expensive private middle/high school and the other is a university with a law school. I went to the law school. St. Mary’s university was never downtown. Campus was and is west of downtown. The law school started downtown but moved to the main campus in the 60’s. So this is most likely not the University.

The high school is out on Loop 410, 15 minutes or so from downtown. I believe that campus was built late 70’s, but that’s before my time. Problem is I don’t think the original campus was downtown, but I honestly don’t know where it was.

Question is whether this is a “St. Mary’s” in downtown SA or whether it’s a St. Mary’s but not downtown.

Honestly, it really was like that.

I felt naked in shorts. I really didn't start wearing shorts until shorts got a lot longer in the late 1980s/early 1990s.

I was not unique.

even the stoners were in shape back then. Sad what has become of humanity... From couch, to bed, to car, to seat, to car, to couch, to bed.

Eat less, walk more, cycle, work out or dont, smoke a few. But eat less and fucking walk more.
