The Stoned Samurai
I've decided to live my life based on what Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai tells me. That book has every answer you could ever even think of asking.
Belated big ups to Warren Ellis and his crew. Keep representin,' weed to the peeps.

That's not funny. I started living my life by the Hagakure ever since I saw Ghost Dog on Dvd. Seriously.
"The Way of the Samurai is found in death."
"Even if a samurai's head were to be suddenly cut off, he should still be able to perform one final action with certainty. If one becomes like a vengeful ghost, and shows great determination, though his head be cut off, he should not die."
"There is something to be learned from a rainstorm: when it rains, we run quickly and try not to get wet. But doing such things as passing under the eaves of houses, we still get wet. If one is resolved from the beginning, he will not be perplexed, though he will recieve the same soaking. This understanding applies to all things."
I beg to differ. I find Weedmaster P awesome! Go Jeff GO!
"that's not funny," HA! People being offended sure is though.
Great work, Jeff! I come here every day, and I loves it.
Is this all like the "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!" thing? I mean, my brother lives his life by Highlander.
Ain't nobody getting near his neck with nothing sharp.

That's a bad reason to start living your life by an ancient code intended to describe the behavior of men who kill each other for a living. Unless you happen to live in 16th century Japan, and kill people for a living, in which case I apologize.

I totally didn't get the "We begin to covet things we see every day" reference until re-watching Silence of the Lambs RIGHT NOW AS I TYPE THIS.
I laughed. My girlfriend looked at me weird. I'm afraid I'll have to skin her now.
I'm not offended, I'm just saying that alot of people take the book seriously, as in, "it's funny because it's true": it DOES have all the answers.
And the reason I live by it isn't because I happen to like Jarmusch movies, it's because after seeing the movie I actually read (gasp!) the Hagakure (click, click) and I like the philosophy of Obedience and Determination it espouses. It's hardcore Eastern Ethic in a world where the Law-abiding Hero gave way to the Antihero who then gave way to the modern cinematic glorification of the Whiny Loser with arbitrarily-granted magical powers.

ALL THESE WEED COMICS AND PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO WONDER IF YOU HAVE A PROPENSITY TOWARDS PARTAKING. THIS.. THIS IS JUST WHAT I HEAR
You probably ruined it him, you jerk.
People say these awful things about poor cannabis sativa as if there was something wrong with it besides being illegal. D:
trying to pick up the minivan... looks like someone slipped some LSD or angeldust into Weedmaster P's supply...

He strikes again! Yeahhhh! Go P, go!

One time, I tried translating the Odyssey into French so that French people could enjoy the Odyssey, but then I remembered I don't speak greek and I'd just been writing a long winded poem about some guy and a nymph.
WOW it is astonishing how much conversation a comic about a boy in a hoodie who got stoned and thought he was a samuri can spark! Way to go jeff! that takes serious talent. ANd laides and gentlemen, weed is juts a herb, many people use herbs to spice up thier dinner such as sage or even parsley. ya the only difference is those dont make you high when you eat them.
Word up to weedmaster P represent.
Yes oh ye overdefensive responder, I love white guys that think they can magically adapt the code and ethics of warriors from an ancient foreign land from reading a book you can buy on Amazon. :)
You gotta learn through spiritual herbal enlightment, like our beloved Weedmaster P.

YEah, but, why is the Weed Master's ass so pointy?
I mean, just look at him.
It's like he's about to BM the devil, or something else stupid and possibly weed related.
YOU HAVE CONFUSED YOUR READER!!!!
