Sarah, good to see you are starting to write like a proper reg hack :o)

Two points though: the correct form of address for my favorite crossword publisher is the Grauniad (not Graunida).

Also, it's "colombian marching powder", although I quite like "coloumbian naughty powder".

Otherwise excellent :o)

Is this artist aware that cremated human remains are highly toxic ? I hope the massive amount of lung damage kills him so some other attention grabbing artist can smoke the remains and keep this thing going.

Maybe we'll be free of talentless attention grabbing artists within a few years.

" from all the nasty media brouhaha he sought to escape" .... which in death one hopes would finally stop, but no, some 'artist' seeks to completely ignore any of what Kurt Cobain suggested or stood for, in a self-promotional stunt.

Also how is smoking a spliff art? Or the finale to an exhibition. Maybe this muppet should submit something for the turner prize.

Art is right up there with fashion for being mostly sycophantic nonsense.

"not-untalented"

Are you saying you actually like her... a skinny drug-guzzling alchy musician (who isn't named winehouse)?!

I quite like Courtney's music really - although she was alot better in Hole than her solo stuff (mono was good tho) - my fave song from Hole, Malibu off Celeb Skin.... best song on the album in my opinion... but my opinion is of little worth to anybody but myself... so I shall leave you in peace now.

Bolivian Marching Powder I think.

...the dopiest idea I've heard of this week.

Being old geezers, my buddy lui and myself have been discussing what to do with all the leftover biomass when out brains check out.

Our decision, buy a tree farm, and plant a tree on top of our un-enbalmed bodies.

If this process is begun swiftly enough, the life force, carried on by our Sagans (1 Sagan=billions and billions) of internal bacteria, will continue into the tree.

On the other hand... if Paris wants to snort a line of disco legend......

Didnt Keith Richards smoke the ashes of his dad or snort them or something?

There are people who pretend to be disabled (complete with crutches, etc) and hold up signs in order to get money on the side of the road at off ramps in major cities.

...but they make more money trolling than Jim does and they don't even have to try to forcefully spell bad on their attention-getters.

Touché, Jim, touché.

Well played sir ;-)

...I remember upsetting an acquaintance who (as I found out after) was a huge Cobain fan, with the following joke:

Q: What's red and white, and has more brains than Curt Cobain?

A: His wall.

Mine's the one from before rock was dead.

Smoking: The act of inhaling the gaseous products of combustion.

Ash:substance which remains after combustion.

Is anyone else seeing a problem here?

Tried lighting up the contents of your ashtray recently? Tried emptying the ash pan from your open fire back into the grate and re-lighting it?

(never mind that the ash in this case was produced at several thousand degrees, and will be "smoked" at a coupe of hundred.

When I take oever, it's up against the wall for anyone with a lower IQ than a poodle.

Paris: because according to this page from Wikipedia dated 2053, that's fallen into a web 6.0 timewarp......

True, but that place is usually accepted to be College.

Never mind the idea of smoking someone's ashes ... but do those remains smell like Teen Spirit???
