Legend

According to Moonalice legend, the original Moonalice Garden of Eden may have been located in San Diego. Everything about San Diego was perfect. Sun, surf and hemp were bountiful, taking all effort out of the Moonalice lifestyle. We don’t know what happened, but the hemp farmers were cast out of MoonEden. Fortunately, things are changing for the better. We’re ba-a-ack!

According to Moonalice legend, San Diego is the largest city in America with a Republican mayor. We applaud Mayor Sanders for his opposition to Proposition 8. Our next goal is to persuade him to support Prop 420, which would guarantee farmers the right to grow only female hemp plants.

According to Moonalice legend, today is the 42nd anniversary of establishment of the Principality of Sealand is established, ruled by Prince Paddy Roy Bates. Sealand was an offshore oil rig, but for some reason, the British did not take kindly to its attempt at independence. We don’t understand that, but suspect the source of the controversy may have been agricultural.

According to Moonalice legend, today is Ganesh Chaturthi, the birthday of the Hindu god. Lord Ganesha, who was created by Goddess Parvati, consort of Lord Shiva, was part man, part elephant and all Moonalice. The Hindu legend says that Parvati needed someone to guard the door to her house, and created Ganesha out of the sandalwood paste. She had him stand guard at her door with instructions not to let anyone enter. When Lord Shiva returned from the battle, Ganesha stopped him from entering Parvati’s chamber. Shiva, enraged by Ganesh’s impudence, drew his trident and cut off Ganesha’s head. Parvati emerged to find Ganesha decapitated and flew into a rage. She threatened destroy heaven and earth. In an attempt to pacify Parvati, Shive sent out his people to find a child, cut off its head and bring it quickly. The first living thing they came across was an elephant. That elephant was facing north (the auspicious direction associated with wisdom), so they cut off its head and brought it to Shiva, who placed it on the trunk of Parvati’s son and breathed life into him. Parvati was overjoyed and embraced her son. As a result, Ganesh is worshipped first in all Hindu occasions and festivals.

According to Moonalice legend, Ganesh is one of the greats, but we suspect there may be an angle related to Moonalice agriculture. The dude’s got the body of a man and the head of an elephant. We love that, but we also want some of whatever his fans are smoking. Happy Birthday Ganesh!

Moonalice poster David Singer

Legend

According to Moonalice legend, the McKenzie River was home to a particularly creative branch of the Moonalice tribe. Led by Matahari Moonalice, the McKenzie River Moonalices were determined to invent a fountain of youth. They labored for more than a hundred years, coming close several times. I would point to Henry Weinhard root bear as an example of a near miss. But after generations of effort, a young McKenzie River Moonalice named Minott came up with the elixer of life. He called it Howling Monkey. Hardwood tried it and saw that it was good. Howling Monkey was lost to the tribe for a time, but now it’s back. All hail the McKenzie River Moonalices.

According to Moonalice legend, Bend is home to Mt. Bachelor. Not too far away are the three sisters who supposedly compete for Mt. Bachelor’s attention. Hey guys. I don’t want to rain on your parade, but Mt. Bachelor has not gone on a date with any sister in at least a million years. The guy is gay. The legend is very supportive, but also very specific about this. What we need to do is find Mt. Bachelor a companion. Anyone have a cell phone number for Mt. Studmuffin?

According to Moonalice legend, the high desert of Central Oregon is home to the elusive Were Bear. Under a full moonalice, the Were Bear becomes intensely flatulent, with a scent that is reminiscent of the burned garlic mixed with cotton candy.

Moonalice poster by David Singer

Legend

According to Moonalice legend, today is Lefthanders Day. The tribe celebrates Lefthanders. Let’s take a moment to salute our lefthanders, Barry, Big Steve, and Anthony, and all of yours!!

According to Moonalice legend, this venue is on the site of one of the great myths of the Moonalice tribe. Long, long ago, in a galaxy far away The Truckee River Monster terrorized the proto-Moonalice tribe that lived in these parts. The Monster was huge and it ate a proto-Moonalice a day for months at a time. Legend has it that a brilliant young proto-Moonalice named Mary Jane proto-Moonalice ended the reign of terror. She baited trap with a bale of fine bud and trapped the Monster, which got so buzzed it left town never to return. The proto-tribe was overjoyed and immediately put Mary Jane in charge. She was a great leader. Her crowning achievement was to get rid of the whole proto thing. She did that at precisely 4:20pm on April 20th of the year zero. Unfortunately, it appears the tribe was not using calendars back then.

Today, August 13, is Mary Jane day. According to Moonalice legend, the earliest Moonalice tribe — the one led by Mary Jane — was agricultural. They grew vegetables and hemp and lived happily on the shore of Lake Tahoe. But they had no music. One day a small band from an obscure tribe – the Rocks – came to the Moonalice village. They had three guitars, keys, drums, percussion and seven bass players. Mary Jane invited the band for dinner in exchange for a gig. It was a huge success. The Rocks enjoyed the Moonalice ritual after dinner smoke and then played their best gig ever. Mary Jane fell in love with one of the bass players, who decided to become her consort. Their progeny form the original DNA of the Moonalice tribe. Today’s poster by David Singer depicts the First Matriarch of the Moonalice tribe: Mary Jane Moonalice.

July 11, 2009 Area 101, Lay­tonville, California
Moonalice poster by David Singer

Legend

According to Moonalice legend, the town of Laytonville was founded by F.B. Layton, who opened a blacksmith shop and post office. In the early days, F.B. did a ton of business with the Moonalice tribe, when it started shipping hemp products nationwide from their farm ten miles north of town. Hemp shipping almost didn’t happen. You see, the tribe had no cash. F.B. solved the problem by teaching the tribe how to make money from hemp. You see the tribe had always given away their hemp, shipping to random post offices around the country. FB explained that the tribe could get a dollar a pound for the finest buds, which would almost pay for the shipping.

According to Moonalice legend, when the tribe first came from outer space, one of the landing sites was in Mendocino County. They called it Area 101. Here’s the deal. The tribe landed and immediately planted a golden seed, from which came some mighty fine bud. The evidence is everywhere

According to Moonalice legend, a local chief named John McCaffrey Moonalice ran out of hemp and was desperate for resupply. First he put up a big sign. It says: Don’t Forget the Magic. Unfortunately, the sign meant nothing to hemp resuppliers. If you need hemp, the traditional signal is a sign that says “George Washington slept here.” Johnnie Mac didn’t know that, so he erected a toilet across the street from his shop. We have no idea what that means or what John plans to do next, but we hope you guys will take pity on him first.

According to Moonalice legend, tonight is Bonfire Night in Ireland. By tradition, you are supposed to prepare a bonfire half your height and twice as wide. It must be made of buds no more than three inches long, arranged in a parquet pattern and lit with the ceremonial moose antler. If any of you is uncertain, please consult Big Steve.

Legend

June 18, 2009

According to Moonalice legend, the Oregon Trail ended in Eugene, after which settlers took a left onto the Applegate Trail that brought them here. Have you ever wondered why there was an Applegate Trail in the first place? There’s no city here. Applegate was actually a major agricultural hub of the Moonalice tribe. Before the white man came, all of the fertile fields around here were planted with hemp. Johnny Hempseed finished his transcontinental planting trip here. The matriarch Mary Jane Moonalice improved on Johnny’s ideas with the development of the Leaky Sack, which dropped seeds at precisely the right interval. For centuries, hemp was the dominant form of agriculture. Then came Harry & David, peaches, and mail order. The tribe moved back to California.

According to Moonalice legend, today is the 194th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo. Do you know the story of the Battle of Waterloo? Wellington and Napoleon get all the headlines, but the real story relates to a lieutenant in the Wellington’s Coalition Army named Throckmorton Moonalice. He was in charge of the 420 Moonalice Signal Battalion of Manitoba, a small force responsible for smoke signals. The days leading up to the decisive battle saw Wellington deploy his forces brilliantly. The 420 Signal Battalion had to smoke up a storm to keep pace with Wellington, but they performed beyond all expectation. On the morning of the battle, the entire battalion passed out with severe symptoms of smoke inhalation. They slept through the battle.

Today is Autistic Pride Day. Do what you can.

According to Moonalice legend, today is the 136th anniversary of Susan B. Anthony’s conviction for trying to vote. She was fined $100. Susan B. was a bit of a broom butt, but she was also one of the great matriarchs in the Moonalice tribe. Twenty-six years ago, Sally Ride, another great Moonalice chief, became the first American woman in space. Tonight we salute the matriarchs of the Moonalice tribe.

June 19, 2009

According to Moonalice legend, the town of Applegate was named for Lindsay Applegate, who was the first to arrive there. He traveled in the company of two men: Jesse Applegate and Charles Applegate. History claims the Applegates were brothers. That was probably true. But what if they weren’t?

Happy Birthday to Moses Horowitz!!! Mean ol’ brother Moe tormented the beloved Curly, but always brought out the best in him. According to Moonalice legend, the Applegate River has special powers. Apparently if you sit it in long enough, your skin will bunch up like a prune.

According to Moonalice legend, there is a Moonalice Poetry museum near Elko, NV. The museum had only one poem. Until now. Hardwood and I discovered two versions of a Moonalice poem right here at the Applegate Lodge. Here’s how it goes:

There once was a drummer named Smoke,
Who played drums like a demon on coke,
He hit like Ali,
At a hundred and three,
Knocking out hits with each stroke
There once a drummer named Smokey
Played like a demon who’s cokey
Tho a genius at riddles
And advanced para diddles
Still the Feds put his ass in the pokey

According to Moonalice legend, today is Juneteenth, a holiday that celebrates the liberation of slaves in Texas in 1865. The white guys were able to hide the news of the Emancipation Proclamation for over two years. We called Twitter to find out how this could have happened. Apparently Twitter was down throughout the 19th and 20th centuries due to planned pre-maintenance.
