This is Jarron Gilbert, defensive end out of San Jose State. He’s 6′5″ and 287 pounds. And he’s going to jump out of a swimming pool.

Do you smoke Chronic chronically? Do you enjoy having your testicles? Well if recent studies are right you may have to choose between the two of them… Not really a tough choice for most guys I think.

So apparently Marijuana use may increase the risk of developing testicular cancer,
in particular a more aggressive form of the disease, according to a
U.S. study published on Monday.

The study of 369 Seattle-area men ages 18 to 44 with testicular cancer
and 979 men in the same age bracket without the disease found that
current marijuana users were 70 percent more likely to develop it
compared to nonusers.

The risk appeared to be highest among men who had reported smoking
marijuana for at least 10 years, used it more than once a week or
started using it before age 18, the researchers wrote in the journal
Cancer.

Stephen Schwartz of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in
Seattle, one of the researchers, said the study was the first to
explore marijuana’s possible association with testicular cancer.

“This is the first study to look at this question, and by itself is
not definitive. And there’s a lot more research that would have to be
done in order to be more confident that marijuana use really is
important in a man’s risk of developing testicular cancer,” Schwartz
said in a telephone interview.

The study found the increased risk appeared to be in the form called
nonseminoma testicular cancer. It accounts for 40 percent of cases and
can be more aggressive and more difficult to treat, Schwartz said.

Experts are unsure about the causes of testicular cancer, which often
strikes men in their 20s and 30s. The disease is seen more commonly in
men who have had an undescended testicle or have a family history of
testicular cancer.

The disease usually responds well to treatment and has a five-year
survival rate of about 96 percent, according to the American Cancer
Society.

About 8,000 men in the United States are diagnosed with testicular
cancer per year, and there are about 140,000 U.S. men alive who have
survived the disease, the group said.

The researchers said they were not sure what it was about marijuana
that may raise the risk. Chronic marijuana use also can have effects
on the male reproductive system including decreased sperm quality,
they said.

Freestyle motocross star Jeremy Lusk, 24, has died as a result of head injuries sustained in a weekend crash during a competition in Costa Rica.
The Temecula rider passed away in his hospital bed late Monday night in San Jose, Costa Rica, while surrounded by his mother and father, Chuck and Gina Lusk; his wife Lauren, and mother- and father-in-law Lynne and Larry, along with fellow Metal Mulisha riders Brian Deegan, Ryan Hagy, Cameron Steele and Erik Apple.

Here is a video I found that was made this morning.

So by now we have all seen this picture of Michael Phelps chongin the bong…

I just wanted to drop my 2 cents, I’m sorry but if this kid can go out and party and take some bong rips and still end up with this…

Then I say leave the damn kid alone. What is great is all of his sponsors know he is worth so much money that they can’t afford to drop him. Here are a couple bonus photos of Phelps out living the Fucking dream.

PEACE

So, I was reading a comment posted about an article saying how this person (we’ll just call him Jordan) was concerned that this site was reminding him of a consumer reports magazine as of late. He brought up an older post about an open forum of guests guessing where Jahan (the Kosher Kannon) would contract his first STD on tour. Allegedly he came back clean. This made me laugh. It also got me thinking, as fate would have it our curly haired friend is about to embark on tour number two. This time he will be on a tour bus instead of an RV which in my mind means he will have a greater chance of scoring a sweet venereal disease. So it’s time to bring it back, it’s a little game that is similar to “Where in the World is, Carmen San Diego?”, this game is called “Which city will the Kosher Kannon ignore common sense and possibly United States Law, and get what is coming to him?”. We all know the rules, take a look at the tour schedule and make your guess. Guess early and guess often!
