In this video some guy that sounds like Willie Nelson, after he took a huge bong hit at the Sundance Festival, does a fair jab of explaining the basics of whopping ass with a stick. Unfortunately, he says “this” far too much, and mumbles. I, however, am inclined to forgive him these oratory sins, in consideration of the brain damage and torn jaw ligaments he has sustained learning this stuff the hard way.
Check him out—and thank God he’s not a writer.
