So the first profile on there is that of a woman who describes herself as a "MILF". Is that even grammatically or logically possible? Is she saying that she'd like to fuck herself, but is somehow unable to--perhaps because she doesn't live up to her own standards? Enquiring minds want to know.

Cops: So, Mr. Smith, do you use any illegal drugs?

Me: No. None at all.

Cops: So then why exactly do you have an account on, uhh... potpartner.com?

Me: Look. Out that window. A polar bear!

Did this start out as a parody site, but then some people actually signed up and created profiles? I can't believe that at least some of the featured profiles aren't parodies, but then they don't all strike me that way. Maybe I've just been away from stoner culture for too long to tell, or maybe this is just more evidence that Baudrillard was right all along.

One of my college boyfriends really really liked to smoke pot. The guy was always lighting up & I wasn't into it. Pot just makes me sleepy. We were both journalism majors when we met. He wanted to be a great writer & was working nights managing a Godfather's Pizza. That was 20 years ago or so.

Last I heard he's now managing a Boston Market. Just sayin'.

Ohh yeah to answer on how the site came about , yes , when I put it up , I did not think it would work (since my other sites are just industry specific search engines...boring...) But from day one people have come in droves... As far as I can figure it just fills a need. People that smoke want to meet others that smoke...

You just described the years 1990-1994 for me. It was either this, or playing Risk in the Mac lab with my friend Ken and then getting Sheetz dogs, making 32-ounce screwdrivers, and mourning our lack of sex lives.

Ah, Carlisle.

But here's what I'm really pissed about: we had grunge, and flannel, and angsty groaners like Eddie Vedder, and sincerity. And I so did not get laid, nor did anyone I knew, because we were all being sincere, man, and understanding. And all the girls were hiding their figures under the flannel and we were all deeply concerned about the earth and most of us weren't shaving ANYTHING.

Then I look up ten years later, all of a sudden it's all skin-tight PORN STAR t-shirts and totally gratuitous sex and "blowjobs don't rilly count so, like, what the hell" and Paris Hilton and THERE'S NO JUSTICE.

So thanks a lot, potpartners. Thanks a lot. Now I've got flashbacks.
