Dude, I was just going to post the same thing after seeing it on the news.

One of my very close friends got married last year and we all went to Atlantic City, stayed overnight and got a penthouse at the Borgata. The wife to be's brother in law wound up coming along and kept taking pictures with his cell phone.

Not a big deal till around 1am rolls around we're done gambling and head back to the room for the grand finale. What does this stupid mother ****er do about an hour later but breaks out his $500 cell phone and start taking pictures.

Chris one of the guys there in the 'known each other for 20+ years club' takes the phone, makes him find and delete all the pics and says "one more time I'm going to shove it up your ass". This guy is easily 6' 3" 310.

Two shots of tequila and a bong hit later ****er breaks his phone again and starts taking pictures. Sim card gets ripped out, phone smashed into dust with an empty Jamison bottle and they had that ****er hanging from the fire escape stairs by his feet. If they would have dropped him no way he would have lived. None.

He ran out and we didn't see him till the wedding which he promptly left after ceremonies.

See, this is the kind of support group you need in life.

Phelps acknowledges photo using pot pipe

Feb 1 02:28 PM US/Eastern By PAUL NEWBERRY AP National Writer

Olympic great Michael Phelps acknowledged "regrettable" behavior and "bad judgment" after a photo in a British newspaper Sunday showed him inhaling from a marijuana pipe.

In a statement released to The Associated Press, the swimmer who won a record eight gold medals at the Beijing Games did not dispute the authenticity of the exclusive picture published Sunday by the tabloid News of the World.

"I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment," Phelps said. "I'm 23 years old and despite the successes I've had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again."

News of the World said the picture was taken during a November house party while Phelps was visiting the University of South Carolina. During that trip, he attended one of the school's football games and received a big ovation when he was introduced to the crowd.

While the newspaper did not specifically allege that Phelps was smoking pot, it did say the pipe is generally used for that purpose and anonymously quoted a partygoer who said the Olympic champion was "out of control from the moment he got there."

The party occurred nearly three months after the Olympics, while Phelps was taking a long break from training, and apparently would have no impact on the eight golds he won at Beijing. He has never tested positive for banned substances and even agreed to extra testing before the games.

Phelps was in Tampa, Fla., during Super Bowl week to make promotional appearances on behalf of a sponsor. But he left the city before Sunday's game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals, abandoning his original plan to be at Raymond James Stadium.
Phelps returned to the pool a couple of weeks ago to begin preparations for this summer's world championships in Rome. He plans to take part in his first post-Olympics meet in early March, a Grand Prix event in Austin, Texas.

This isn't the first embarrassing episode for Phelps after an Olympic triumph. In 2004, a few months after winning six gold and two bronze medals in Athens, the swimmer was arrested on a drunken driving charge at age 19. He pleaded guilty and apologized for the mistake.

In his book "No Limits: The Will to Succeed," Phelps recounted how his first phone call was to his agent, and not his mother or coach Bob Bowman, because he knew they would yell at him.

Later, he called Bowman, who was supportive but told him, "Michael, just because you want to blow off some steam doesn't mean you can be an idiot."

Debbie Phelps, his mother, cried at the news.

"That hurt worse, maybe, than anything," Phelps wrote. "I had never seen my mother that upset."

Bowman did not immediately respond to phone and e-mail messages Sunday.

Olympic teammate Dara Torres said Phelps has become such a prominent figure that everything he does is news.
However, she said: "This in no way shape or form diminishes anything he's done."

"It's sort of a double-edged sword," Torres told the AP on Sunday. "When you're recognizable, you're looked up to as a role model. He is recognizable and everything you do gets looked at and picked apart. I guess that's the price of winning 14 Olympic medals."

Jason Lezak, whose remarkable anchor leg of the 400-meter freestyle relay helped Phelps stay on course to break Mark Spitz's record in Beijing, said he was "saddened" to hear of the report.

"While I don't condone his conduct, I am a teammate and fan," Lezak said in a text message to the AP on Saturday night. "Unlike many fair-weather people, I am sticking by him. If my wife and I can help him in any way, we will. I believe he will grow from this and be better person, role model and teammate."

Heh... no kidding.

I still don't think that photo looks like him. But obviously I'm wrong. I don't blame him for doing it, but it's too bad he got caught.

Most people who say this never smoked pot. I respect your point of view but pot is far less destructive to both society and the individual than alcohol. They don't even come close in the damage they cause to the aforementioned parties outside of cost of enforcement.

But I'm not here to argue today. That's pretty much all I have to say on the matter.

I had a RooR back in college and it blew heads. Huge bubble base, twin chamber and an ice catcher... I loved watching the tough shitheads try and pull heavy hits, milk shots, through that baby. They'd immediately start coughing/choking with their hands covering their mouth, drool and saliva bleeding out between their fingers, teary eyed and chests burning.

I miss college.

If he went scorched earth on the whole thing and then it came out that he really was having a safety meeting in that photo then I would have lost respect. At least he isn't a lazy pothead. He works hard then tokes later.

I wish they'd just move the NFL to Holland. Then I'd have no reason whatsoever to stay in the United States with it's puritanical double standards.
