‘Colorful and big’: Free Christmas bong image for your Beijing holiday e-cards

For those who desire something other than those  oh-so-predictable Santa Claus, Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer et al images on your holiday e-cards, I offer the photo above, taken during our city’s first major snowfall of the season. What says Christmas in Beijing better that a table of snow-dusted bongs in Sanlitun?

Speaking of which, check this LA Times story: Agents seize bongs at L.A. Harbor listed as Christmas ornaments:

Customs officials at the Los Angeles Harbor received a shipment from China listed as Christmas ornaments.

But when they opened the “presents” Tuesday, they found 316,000 bongs and pipes.

They’re very colorful and big,” said Cristina Gamez, a spokeswoman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection. “Some of them are like 2 feet tall.”

According to the post, “They were addressed to someone in L.A. County.” Like who? Michael Phelps apparently smoked in South Carolina, Daniel “Harry Potter” Radcliffe allegedly had a spliff in London (his spokeswman said it was a “roll-up cigarette“), and Dawn Wells – Mary-Anne from Gilligan’s Island – was accused of getting her herbal remedies in Idaho. I dunno, maybe it’s these guys – after all, they were caught with about 6,000 kilograms of weed.
