Seriously Trippy Couches
October 1st, 2008 by Alex
Couches are awesome. You can get high, go sit on them and be really comfortable. I’m pretty sure that’s the point. Play some Call of Duty, watch House or just fall asleep. Some couches are good for that too.
Most people have regular couches - usually big enough for 3 people and made out of leather or some sort of fabric. It’s pretty safe to say that the whole couch thing has been solved for the Average Joe.
But what about couches that look like lego blocks? Or tigers? Or coffins? Good question, because designers have your back. Literally.
After the jump, check out a collection of trippy, crazy and somewhat uncomfortable looking couches…

Get Me an Invite, Stat!
September 25th, 2008 by Alex
At first, I was checking out these photos of Kendra Wilkinson, one of the “Girl’s Next Door,” with the usual ‘playmate in lingerie at some premier party’ attitude. Then, I noticed something familiar in the background. Something, very familiar.
The Blunt Wrap logo. Plus, something I hadn’t seen before, Kush Cognac.
This party just started combining a few of every guy’s favorite vices: girls, smoking and drinking. So what the hell is this party, and how do I get invited to the next one?
Turns out it was the Great American Run Kick Off Party by National Lampoon at the Playboy Mansion. It took place earlier this month and was a hefty $650 a person to get in, you know, with the GND and Ludacris around…
Generally, National Lampoon has been dropping some really shitty movies on us, but it looks like they know how to throw a get together. If I get wind of their next launch party, and assuming they don’t read the statement above, you can bet your ass I’m gate crashing.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Tattoos
September 22nd, 2008 by Perry
Actually… it’s just the bad and the ugly.
We’ve all snickered at the hoser on the beach with a tribal armband tattoo, and his idiotic choice of self-expression. But most of the people in this particular photo gallery took bad ideas to a whole new level. Like the class act who got two garter-belted legs tattooed on either side of his armpit hair. Or the Clay Aiken. Yes, the Clay Aiken. What a conversation starter!
Forbes Surprises with Weed Slideshow
May 4th, 2007 by Tim
Here we have a slideshow put together by Forbes magazine showing us their take on “The Most Exotic Brands of Weed.”
While at first we were cautiously reluctant to embrace a story like this from Forbes, we got to looking and it ain’t half-bad. Some of the strains they’ve chosen have even graced the pages of tFS, like OG Kush and Sour Diesel.
Still, what do we say Forbes sticks with their “World’s Richest People” lists and leaves the strain reviews to the experts.

Colombian Drug Cartel: Driver Wanted
April 25th, 2007 by Tim
Since we’re already on the subject, here is one more photoset of another large cocaine bust.
In Colombia, a place not known for its traffic safety, a ton of cocaine was discovered after the truck transporting it crashed. It must be a nice day for police officers to have 2,000+ pounds of coke just fall into your lap like that.
You know that heads were rolling in someone’s bodega after a screw up of that proportion.

Cocaine Seizure at Sea Makes History
April 25th, 2007 by Tim
The day of and the days leading up to 4/20 typically create their own bounty of both pro and anti-marijuana press. This weekend was, however, a definite change of pace.
Cocaine news flooded the airwaves when the largest bust in maritime history was discovered.
Off the shores of Panama, the Coast Guard discovered about ~30,000 pounds of cocaine heading north on a 330-foot ship. When officers boarded the ship, they discovered the shipments hidden in two containers. This bust alone had a street value close to $450 million.
Earlier in the month, two other sea-based busts took place. One where a Coast Guard cutter chased down a speedboat with 2,000 pounds worth of yeyo. Another when 900 pounds of coke was found on an Ecuadorian fishing vessel. They were caught trying to offload the goods onto speedboats off the coast of Mexico.
Overall, a bad weekend for Tony Montana and crew.

Pot Grow Op Histeria
April 3rd, 2007 by Alex
All over the country, grow houses are garnering more widespread public attention than ever before.
A recent explosion of high-end, indoor grow ops have been raided and shut down by various law enforcement agencies across the US.
Some may say this proves the growing trend that well-financed drug rings are using expensive, innocuous locations to produce mass quantities of marijuana. Perhaps. Or, maybe the police are just now starting to catch on?
News stories published left and right are aimed at not only informing the public, but also at making them unwitting tools of the police.
Each article has pushed the angle of danger and suspicion - evil marijuana growers lurking in the shadows under honest, hard-working citizens very noses.
The AP has even released this amazingly helpful list of how to spot a “marijuana farm”:
- There are guard dogs, “Keep Out” signs or other security.
- Electrical outlets may be rigged to divert power from neighboring homes.
- The windows are often covered and the blinds drawn. There may be excessive condensation around the windows.
- The houses are largely unoccupied. People stop by periodically to mow the lawn or do other chores, then leave.
- In winter, after a snowfall, the house may be the lone home on the block with no snow on the roof. (Heat from the lights often melts the snow.)
According to this criteria, everyone who lives in Beverly Hills is operating a massive indoor pot factory. I need to call the police right now!
Even though I am making light of this situation, the use of paranoia through mass media is a very effective self-policing tactic. I’m sure that tip lines all the way from Georgia to California are ringing off the hook, and that’s just the way the narcs want it to be.

Peru Narcotics Destruction
March 29th, 2007 by Alex
Since we showed everyone how Macedonia gets down when it comes to destroying narcotics, we might as well keep the trend going.
This photoset shows police in Peru burning large amounts of various illegal drugs. To be exact, over 5 tons of cocaine, marijuana, opium and heroin.
This batch covers the last 4 months of Peru’s law enforcement efforts.
