Cheech And Chong, Sweet Style

Tramp and readers,
Just a little introduction to my upcoming book review!
I am off to buy the "The I Chong" now (Tommy Chong's new book).

Cheech and Chong~Where are they now?

Tommy Chong, the worlds most famous hippie stoner, is now the 68-year-old. He recently spent a little time in the slammer for selling bongs, however he is back on the outside telling a tale, 'The I Chong'.
Cheech Marin is has re-invented himself as an actor. After Tommy and Cheech went their separate ways, Cheech made the transition to television and co-starred with Don Johnson in 'Nash Bridges'. Currently, you can see Cheech on 'Celebrity Duets' where he is hoping to set in to motion a singing career.

So this weekend I am going to settle in, hit my favorite substance of choice, and read Tommy's story of how he wound up in the slammer, and how comedy helped him, get through his prison stay.

So please keep reading the 'Tramp's Riverbank'.

Sweet's book review is on the way!

Sweet and of course readers,

Tommy Chong was charged and jailed in Pittsburgh, my back yard. I used to visit his site often, chongglass.com. Did you know that they had to change their original name because it put the Hispanic community in an uproar? They originally called themselves Spic and Span. I saw Cheech Marin on Tonite With Jay Leno last year. Jay had secreted Tommy Chong in without Cheech's knowledge. And an unexpected reunion occurred. It was great, the first time they had seen each other in years. Jay asked them if the drug persona was an act. They replied that they didn't know what he meant. He said, "You don't really use drugs, do you?" Tommy Chong about crapped himself. He immediately responded, "Dude, we're Cheech and Chong, you can't be serious". He said that they were able to pull off the drug act so well because it was no act. He even went so far as to say the drugs they used in their movies were real. Jay couldn't believe it. And I couldn't believe Jay was that naive.

A little more about Tommy's arrest.
Tommy Chong's glass bongs were beautiful works of art. You didn't have to use them for drugs. They were decorative pieces and very tastefully done. The arrest was bogus. They said it was possible to use them for illegal drug consumption. You could do that with a potato! And what about the rolling papers available everywhere? Not to mention that every gas station and convienence store now sells crack pipes! It's true, they disguise them by inserting a fake flower. But it is a crack pipe. Where is the justice?

Tommy was made a scape goat on a bogus arrest. And I am ashamed of Pittsburgh for pursuing what they had to know were bogus charges. If they didn't know those charges were bogus, then I am ashamed of their stupidity.
