Disneyland or Blog Maintenance? That is the Question

Does anyone remember that old instructional film, Reefer Madness?  My twenty something kids played it for me tonight in the Mystery Science Fiction Theatre format, where it is more snarky comment and less instruction.  Hysterical, but it makes me wonder how old they think I really am.  (By tomorrow, I should have good Internet, but if someone invites me to go to Disneyland, I know what choice I will make.)

    I know the name Reefer Madness, but I'm afraid I might have missed it in my youth. Do I take it you are in California just now? I did Disneyland back in about '88 and it was amazing, but somehow I've never had the itch to go back. Still, blog maintenance is pretty boring... Have fun!

    Hi Shelley - I'm here getting my daughter's wedding all finalized, but have already wasted time visiting the places that I miss in Oklahoma - Nordstroms, In & Out Burger, Ikea, and (today) Costco. Reefer Madness was so funny that I suggest it as a group entertainment. I think a group of 50 and 60 year olds with some good wine would really enjoy it.

    I am totally in the dark about Reefer Madness. When's the wedding? Do post pictures!

    Hi Sanda - Reefer Madness was a propaganda film made to discourage the youth from smoking reefers - which they show being rolled by a mechanical machine. It predates me by quite a bit, so all my viewing of it have been for comedy. Smoking pot was never my thing - heck, I don't even jaywalk, but even I know it doesn't affect people the way it's presented in this film.
    The wedding of my daughter is two weeks away, so lots to do. I promise pictures, maybe even some today, if I can stay awake. My Central Time Zone internal clock needs to be updated to Pacific time.

    This made me smile, because of course WE were watching Reefer Madness as a bit of camp when we were young! I think our kids tend to keep us in a bubble of purity and find it hard to imagine our lives before kids.
