| Lo Fun Fact #1 |
| "Lolita Files" is my real name. It is not a pen name, as incredible as that may seem. There are plenty of Files family members and people who have known me for years capable of validating this. As for the "Lolita" part, my mother named me after the movie based on Nabokov's book, although she saw or read neither. For as long as she lived, she had no idea there was anything sexual or seedy about being called "Lolita". |
| Lo Fun Fact #2 |
| I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes. If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Mr. Chicken (my favorite spot in Cleveland) and a pair of
Christian Louboutins. |
| Lo Fun Fact #3 |
| Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi (preferably Pepsi Jazz Caramel Cream). Better yet, how about not show up at all? |
| Lo Fun Fact #4 |
| I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay? |
| Lo Fun Fact #5 |
| I love the internet!!! I love communicating through the internet!!! You can e-mail me and odds are I'll e-mail you right back (if I'm not in the middle of a major project). Makes up for my hangup about the phone, doesn't it? See, I'm not so bad after all!!! |
| Lo Fun Fact #6 |
| I can't stand IMing. Please don't IM me. You will get the cold shoulder. I don't like giving people the cold shoulder, so please don't put me in that position. |
| Lo Fun Fact #7 |
I have four five six wonderful, slap-happy dogs, a bird (some kind of dove/pigeon mix), and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs, bird, and cat, we'll be instant friends. If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five six dogs, a bird, and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond. |

| Pot Damn!!! |
| Friday, March 17, 2006 |
Alright, this one was so wild, I had to come up from the depths of work to post about it.
Per The Smoking Gun:A California drug operation manufactured marijuana-laced candy and soft drinks that were packaged to resemble popular products like Jolly Ranchers, Milky Way, and Pop Tarts. The pot ring, busted yesterday by Drug Enforcement Administration agents, was headquartered in Oakland and allegedly headed by Kenneth Affolter, 39, who was one of 12 alleged dealers nabbed.
DEA raids at indoor pot-growing facilities turned up the marijuana-infused products, which carried labels such as Toka-Cola, Pot Tarts, Puff-A-Mint Pattie, Stoney Ranchers, Munchy Way, and Buddahfinger. A DEA spokesperson told TSG that the pot was baked into chocolate bars and hard candies and that the soda contained concentrated hash oil. A label on the ring's Nestle Crunch knockoff describes the item's ingredients as "milk chocolate with crisped rice dipped in hash oil rich chocolate." I'm sorry, I gotta give respect due where respect is due.
That shizz is BRILL-YANT. Okay?
I'm no proponent of drugs and letting stuff like this get loose to kids. I'm no pothead, either. But I am one of those people who thinks marijuana should be legal. There's no logic to alcohol and cigarettes being within the law and maryjane being outside of it. Makes no sense. Might even minimize some of the crime on the streets if it's no longer an illegal substance to be trafficked and dimebagged. And at least folks can possibly be healed by dro. I've never seen cigarettes or Grey Goose destroy cancer cells or aid in the treatment of glaucoma. Put an age limit on the stuff and stock the shelves with it already. And roll me a fatty while you're at it. (Just kidding, Mom.)
But I digress.
Check out some of this stuff. This is why so many former drug dealers and street hustlers thrive in the corporate world. This is the work of someone(s) with a true head for business.
While you bullshittin', them Stoney Ranchers look mad delicious.
And Lo Zoners know I would have been all over that Puffsi. I'm just sayin'.

As you said, you gott give respect where respect is do. This was a marketing genius. I have a friend in NY who is partner in an ad agency and she said she would have this person in a heart beat.
I too, believe the lealization of mj would cure some of the social ills. You're right they figured out a way to get rich off of liquor and cigarettes by taxing them, so what if a dime bag will cost $11.00 -- it's a small price to pay for the convenience of being able to go to seven eleven and get a large slurpy and all the ingrediants for a blunt. Puff, puff.
