And you know that if they legalize it, they'll have to regulate it, which means that they'll have to put a message on a box of joints, it'll say, Surgeon General has determined this will make your music... awesome! Even Yanni. And if you think you liked cartoons before Picture Quote #1

I don't know what falling in love for me is. The concept of romantic love arose in the Middle Ages. Now remember, the Arabs don't even have a word for love-that is, a word for love apart from physical attraction or sex. And this separation of love and sex is a western concept, a Christian concept. As to what falling in love means, I'm uncertain. Love, well, it means simply physical attraction and liking a person at the same time Picture Quote #1

You looking for a firsthand demonstration of my heterosexual prowess, cowgirl? Because I'm more than up for a challenge Picture Quote #1

Although native Africans domesticated some plants in the Sahel and in Ethiopia and in tropical West Africa, they acquired valuable domestic animals only later, from the north Picture Quote #1
