The Hot Karl

Suppose there were a leafy green that, when smoked, caused you to think Carrot Top might be funny and compelled you to eat copious amounts of Funyuns. And then, maybe…wait, what were we just talking about? Oh, yeah, so, like, when you’ve ingested said illicit substance, what should you do and where should you go to make the fun more awesome? We put down the bong long enough to throw out some ideas.

Get the giggles at these high-larious shows
