Basically, the object of the game is to differentiate the sleeping drivers from...well...dead guys.

The line between a "bum" an a typical member of the Seattle Stoner Hip Crowd are increasingly less drawn, now that Daddy's 401k can't support the 1-bedroom in Belltown.

That's why you collect numbers, network, and keep an emergency stash, dude.

I'm in NYC and have never heard that term before. Albeit, I haven't been a smoker for a while, I'm certainly around my share of them.

I honestly thought that you meant a noogie and I was wondering why you'd want to assault bums with your knuckles in their greasy, unwashed hair. Sounded gross to me!

It's true... you can never go home...

The crowd you are referring to is urban hispsters. In the main, they're not stoners. The stoner crowd sorta went out of fashion in the early 80s when that good kind of coke came in, btw, not crack but powder. Yuppies who live in urban condos don't smoke much pot. And they aren't mostly kids supported by their parents. There would be more kids supported by their parents smoking pot in CapitolHill or Perugia, Italy, I think, and they are quite a bit younger than the condo dwellers of whom you speak.

Also and again, dontcha know doggone it it might be viewed by the media elitsts as "grammatically incorrect" and a sign you are a dumb yookel for you to write a sentence with a singular subject and a plural verb.

Also and again, doggone it, your dearth of substance and resort to generalized, yet mistaken, ad hominem attacks is noted.

Your pal for palin' around to create socialism,

@13
Not a Seattle thing, I've heard it from hippies all over the country.

Those urban-dwelling Belltown hipsters may be doing a little powder on occasion, but they also (usually) have some fine-ass weed. I should know...
