Alternative titles for the Guardian's news story about the recently uncovered home video showing Marilyn Monroe smoking marijuana

They called it—Some Like it Pot.

I would have called it—well, I like what they did with it, but there are so many other conceivable options that I think just got overlooked. So I sent out word on my Facebook page and spent a good 51 minutes thinking up some other ideas the Guardian might have gone with if my friends and I had been sub-editing that esteemed newspaper today. Romy, Kate and I came up with:
  • Let's Make it Legal
  • Gentlemen Prefer Bongs
  • The Green Grass of Wyoming
  • Reefer of No Return
  • The Seven Year Spliff
  • Niagunja
  • Bud Stop
  • Munchies Business
  • All about Weed
And here is the poignant, haunting and be-comma-ed suggestion offered up by my friend Pete—
  • Gentlemen, Reefer, Blonde
My friend Lee added how dope Marilyn looked in the home video. And then we got off Facebook and got on with our lives.
