However, as the most prolific writer on The International Playboy Lifestyle on the Internet, I feel compelled to let younger up-and-coming G’s on the rise know about some of the downsides of The Life.
In other news, Simon Black breaks down the War on Drugs:
“Fighting a multi-decades war against plants is just a dumb idea, ranking up there with other such gems as spending our way out of recession, borrowing our way out of debt, and invading other countries to reduce hatred against America.”
Traveling has become a real drag lately. Or I should say the “process” of traveling has really become a drag. Here are some tips for Americans to make traveling more enjoyable for all involved.
Go easy on the carry-ons
I know that Airlines sometimes lose bags, but everyone needs to start going easy on the carry-ons. Or at least people need to go easy on carry-ons if they can’t handle them. (If you can’t lift your bag into an overhead, check it. This is more directed at men, women and the elderly are excused). Personally, I always check my bags. It keeps me more agile for swooping girls in airports.
Fat-Free Flights
Ok, so we now have smoke-free flights. Now that Obesity is the #1 killer in America, and with Obesity rates in our Country hitting something like 95%, it would only make sense if we had Fat–People-Free flights. Right?
In the good old days, people used to dress with style and elegance when they traveled. Today, as we all know, it’s a real slob fest. It’s embarrassing. If I see one more girl in Ugg boots and sweats or another fool in a “hipster fedora”, I may take down a plane myself. Recently, I was on a flight where there were three weesh Twenty-something American girls in, get this, Pajamas. And it was a weesh connecter from the Midwest to the East Coast. It wasn’t like we were flying to Macau to chill with the Ho family or something.
Please, have some respect for yourself, and Dress Sharp.
I honestly think when people in the future look back to the fall our country; they are going to trace it to the loss of freedom (ie smoking bans, TSA) and loss of self-respect (people dressing like slobs).
And don’t even get me started on Stewardesses today.
Cigarette smoke causes immediate damage to the lungs and to DNA, and President Barack Obama’s administration will make stop- smoking efforts a priority, federal health officials said on Thursday.
Smoking hurts not only the smokers, but people around them, and taxes, bans and treatment all must be used together to help get smoking rates down, U.S. Surgeon-General Dr. Regina Benjamin said in a report on smoking.
“The chemicals in tobacco smoke reach your lungs quickly every time you inhale causing damage immediately,” Benjamin said in a statement.
“Inhaling even the smallest amount of tobacco smoke can also damage your DNA, which can lead to cancer.”
One of my friends recently sent me this and it reminded me of a little story from back in the day:
(Side note: I haven’t really been up on the Most Interesting Man in the World thing, I don’t watch a lot of TV. However, the cat looks exactly like one of my friend’s Fathers who is a heavy Old-School G in his own right.)
Back when I was a young proto-type G, my running partner and I were walking down the Mission Beach Boardwalk at the beginning of summer, probably high on Chronic.
We were just rolling (and I don’t mean rollerblading or Beans, either, we were just walking), spitting Game at beach girls, slapping five with Bill Walton and Eek-A-Mouse riding by on bikes (as they often did in those days), and smoking grits. I think we were going to pick up a new stick at Liquid Foundation or something.
Just another day in the life.
All of a sudden, thru the crowd, a weesh rollerblader, out of control, came barreling into my running partner. My running partner, who always had quick reactions, and put up his elbows to “block” the rollerblader just as they collided.
The rollerblader got the worst of the collision by far. He took my droogs elbow on the chin and was KO’d flat on his back.
If Second Hand Smoking is so bad for you, how come Spain won every major sporting event this summer (Wimbledon, FIFA World Cup and Tour de France)?
The 2006 smoking ban made a non-smoking area mandatory in bars and restaurants of more than 100 square metres in size. Any smaller establishments were allowed to choose whether or not to ban smoking. Most chose not. In fact, of the 350,000 hospitality venues in Spain, less than 45,000 have banned smoking completely.

Obesity is now a bigger overall threat to people’s health than smoking, according to results of the longest ongoing health study of adults in the United States.
Obesity causes as much or more disease than tobacco, says the study, conducted by researchers from Columbia University and the City College of New York. It adds that while smoking rates are starting to decline, obesity now shortens as many or even more healthy lifespans than tobacco use.
“Health impacts of obesity are, in many ways, much larger, than the health impacts of smoking,” said Dr. Arya Sharma, chairman for obesity research and management at the University of Alberta.
While we are at it, since the “passage of time” is the No.1 killer, shouldn’t we ban the passage of time?
Just to clue everyone in that believes all the crap that our culture and media feeds us, Smoking is not bad for you. I am a living and breathing example of that. So are the Greatest Athletes that have ever lived.
The whole “grass roots” Anti-smoking campaign is financed by Johnson and Johnson, GSK and everyone else who benefits from people quitting. “Smoke Free Kids”? Formed the same year Nicorette hit the market.
If there is one thing you should take away from The G Manifesto (besides How to Pick up Girls), it is to always question what Corporate America and our Government tells us. Especially when what they are telling you is a brainchild of Adolf Hitler.
On a positive note, it seems that NYC is pushing back on the smoking ban:
Six years after New York City passed a ban on smoking in bars and restaurants, it is easier than ever to find smokers partying indoors like it’s 1999, or at least 2002. In November, Eater.com called it “the worst kept secret in New York nightlife” that “smoking is now allowed in numerous nightspots, specifically just about any and every lounge and club with a doorman and a rope.” A few weeks later, GuestofaGuest.com, a blog about New York clubs and bars, posted a “smoker’s guide to N.Y.C. nightlife.”
“Everyone looks the other way,” said Billy Gray, 25, a reporter for Guest of a Guest, who says that he knows precisely which high-end bars and lounges, most of them in the meatpacking district or Lower East Side, will let him smoke inside. Far from deterring smoking indoors, the ban simply adds an allure to it, said Mr. Gray, a half-pack-a-day smoker.
Is it true that you smoke eight to ten cigars a day? That’s true.
Is it true that you drink five martinis a day? That’s true.
Is it true that you still surround yourself with beautiful young women? That’s true.
What does your doctor say about all of this? My doctor is dead.

“You start to die the moment you are born. The whole of life is cutting through the pack with death. So take it easy. Light a cigarette and be grateful you are still alive as you suck the smoke deep into your lungs.”
