So Now He Gets Bagels And Locks

It sounds like someone was going to have an unusual bar mitzvah:

A Hamilton, Ont., man faces federal drug charges after he allegedly tried to smuggle about 250 pounds of hydroponic marijuana into the United States on Tuesday with his regular commercial shipment of frozen bagels, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials announced.

Stipan Krak, 49, was bound for New Jersey with the bagel shipment when he tried to enter the U.S. at the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge.

Officers found six duffel bags that contained more than 250 vacuumsealed bags of marijuana.

“The marijuana has an estimated street value of over $750,000,� said Kevin Corsaro, public affairs officer for the agency.

It couldn’t have been for a bar mitzvah. It wasn’t Chinese food.

  4. Actually, you’re looking at a temporary design that was put up when our site went down a few weeks ago. We ARE working on a new design — and it is wonderful. Hopefully it’ll be up within a month.

    Wonder if they used a dog to sniff out the weed.

    Back when I was in high school, we believed wrapping orange peels around our pot prevented narc-doggies from being able to smell it.

    I guess a strong aroma of orange peel in a truck allegedly carrying bagels would have been suspicious, anyway :)

    Knew it was temporary. Glad you’re working on the new one. ….

    Just a tangental point that really has nothing to do with the pot… it’s “lox,” not “locks”

    It was a pun utilizing irony, as in handcuff locks or graybar hotel locks – and by the way, it’s “tangential, not “tangental”
