Legend

According to Moonalice legend, New Year’s Eve lived in a garden with a guy named New Year’s Adam. Things were cool until they started eating fruit. No one knows why fruit was a problem, so the tribe isn’t taking any chances. Moonalice favors vegetable products.

According to Moonalice legend, the year 420 figured prominently in the early history of the tribe. December 30 of that year saw the discovery of inhaling by the matriarch Morning Glory Moonalice. The discovery immediately triggered a domino effect, the first step of which occurred the next day when Morning Glory taught the tribe to inhale at the annual year end gig. Everyone got wasted. And so began New Year’s Eve, a tribal tradition that carries on to the present day.

According to Moonalice legend, the tribe revolves around its women. Females hold the key to happiness, both for the tribe and its agricultural products. So if you want to be happy, take care of the females in your life. If your buzz has gotten the better of you, we remind you that you should only use your lighter on females of the hemp variety.

Legend

According to Moonalice legend, it took the tribe a while to figure out how to smoke hemp properly. I bring this up for two reasons. First, because I understand some of you may be looking for instruction. And second, because the breakthrough occurred right here in Petaluma.

In the old days, the tribe didn’t smoke hemp. They put a nice fat bud on stick and roasted it over a fire. They would set bud to flaming and then pop in their mouths. Just like marshmallows, only painful.

Along came Zigzag Moonalice. Zigzag was the most beautiful teenager in the tribe. She was also the smartest. But she had a mean streak. So she figures out she would play a trick on everyone by using a hollow reed instead of a stick to toast the bud. Her plan was to inhale through the reed, reduce the bud to ash . . . and then put it in the mouth of one of the many boys she had twisted around her pinkie. Only one problem. While inhaling, she got buzzed in a way no Moonalice had ever been buzzed before. She turned into a total sweetheart. Instead of sharing the ash, she shared her new invention. The tribe immediately made her matriarch. She has been revered ever since, immortalized on smoking products the world around. The rest, as they say, is Legend.

According to Moonalice legend, no guts, not glory. Also no pain. The tribe doesn’t believe in that stuff. We have music and hemp instead.

Legend

October 24, 2008

According to Moonalice legend, Florida has always been a magnet for the tribe. From the dawn of time, Moonalice tribes got the brochures and treated them like sacred tablets. They revered the pictures of white sand beaches, orange groves, and the Everglades. But the real magnet was sunshine. Sunshine makes hemp grow, which was the tribe needed to know. They wanted sunshine in all its forms. Nature’s Sunshine. Liquid Sunshine. Orange Sunshine. Magnolia Sunshine. It’s all at Magnolia Fest. And so were we.

According to Moonalice legend, the first Moonalice tribes that headed south for the winter never reached Florida. They got lost in Okefenokee Swamp, which at the time was crawling with dinosaurs, snakes, and really creepy bugs. Fortunately, it was also filled with outrageous strains of hemp and some really interesting mushrooms. It took thousands of years before the tribe finally made it to Florida, but when they did they brought their hemp and mushrooms with them. The rest, as they say, is legend.

According to Moonalice legend, when your bowl is filled with the good stuff, you smoke it. But when your bowl is completely full of shit, call Joe the Plummer.

According to Moonalice legend, the area around Live Oak, Florida has been home to native tribes going back a very long time. How long? When the first Moonalice tribe members showed up, the place was called Little Acorn. Unfortunately, the tribe proved to be allergic to Spanish moss. No matter how the tribe cured it, Spanish moss provided an unsatisfactory smoking experience. All cough, no buzz. And so the tribe left this area to the Seminoles and the white men. Y’all have done a fine job with it!

According to Moonalice legend, most members of the tribe maintain their amateur status. One exception, however, comes when the going gets weird. When the going gets weird, the whole tribe turns pro. Thanks to the election campaign, the tribe’s pro status has come in very handy. One party is talking about Pro Americans, and we’re here to answer the call. We’re Americans and we’re pros. Put us in coach!

Legend

According to Moonalice legend, when tribal matriarchs moved on to the Happy Hemp Ground, the were buried with their most valued possession. For most Moonmamas, that prized possession was often an enormous ceremonial bong. Depending on the size of the bong, the resulting burial site could be anything from a hump to a mound to the astonishing Mt. Trashmore in Virginia.

I bring this up because the first sentence in the History of Columbus in Wikipedia describes “evidence of ancient mound-building societies” right in the middle of what is now Columbus. This was news to us, so we consulted the Moonalice legend.

The story is incredible. When the Moonalice tribe settled in this area – about 1,000 year ago – they built an advanced civilization. One of the quirks, though, is that every member of tribe lived in his or her own home. The houses were tiny, but every one of them had running water and central hemp. So when a tribe member died, the family just buried the whole house. You can still feel the vibe on Mound Street.

According to Moonalice legend, if you consume enough hemp products you can see Russia from HERE.

According to Moonalice legend, many members of the tribe worked on the Underground Railroad. One of the most famous was Zippo Moonalice, who had a long career as a fireman on the railroad. Zippo grew up in Columbus, and got his start as a gardener at the Kelton House Underground Railroad terminal. Zippo’s job was to keep his engine’s potboiler running at full intensity. His great contribution to the Underground Railroad was the discovery that stems and seeds just muck up the engine. So Zippo cultivated the finest buds so that his locomotive would run faster and higher than any other. The rest, as they say, is legend.

According to Moonalice legend, October 8 did not happen in 1582 in Italy, Spain, Poland, and Portugal. This is the second day this week that has gone missing from 1582. Why? That’s the year they switched to the Gregorian Calendar and some clerk misplaced a bunch of days in October.

According to the audience at the Thirsty Ear, today was Talk Like A Pirate Day. They invoked two little known provisions of the Moonalice Legend: they could use Moonalice Standard Time to fall back to September 19 (the official Talk Like a Pirate Day) or they declare today a High Holy Day with a Talk Like a Pirate theme.
