The mountains were high, and so were we

Darn, this is a totally inappropriate song to get stuck in your head when there's kids around, but there it was today, as the boys and I went sledding and I saw snowboarders on the hill:


(soft, breathy voices)
The Canadian Psychedelic Snowboarding Team
The Canadian Psychedelic Snowboarding Team

(funky guitars)

At the winter Olympics, wild and free
The mountains were high, and so were we
We don't remember, we don't really care
If you can remember the Olympics, you weren't really there

Because when they told
Us to go for the gold
We thought they meant, like, something
That could be rolled

(funky guitars)

It's a difficult skill that we've honed
We should get a special medal just for doing it stoned
The Spice Girls were making a lotta noise
But are you ready for the Herbal Boys?

I tested positively, but I couldn't help it you see
You get that way just by living
In BC

In honour of Ross Rebagliati, who won a gold medal at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan, only to have it taken away for testing positive for pot.

I took the digital camera to take a picture of the hill and all the merry sledders, but the battery died when we got there. Must remember to recharge the thing once in a while.

Like too much fun!

And I think Ross got his medal back because there was no ban on pot then ...

I think he got it back because he didn't have enough THC to indicate he'd been smoking the stuff - just that he'd been around it. The most hilarious thing is, when you read some of the news stories about it, they basically say exactly what the Worms song says - "you get that way just by living in [Whistler] BC" :D :D :D

I think you're right! That sounds right :-)
