Tommy Chong's Advice
by TChris
Tommy Chong is still trying to overturn his conviction, but he's staying out of jail and going back to work.
The performer has plugged back into the stand-up circuit. He's just written "The I Chong," which chronicles his "wrongful" stint in the pokey, for Simon and Schuster. And "AKA Chong," a hit at the Toronto Film Festival, documents his arrest and prison ordeal.
Chong hopes to raise money to pay for his legal fees. In the meantime, he's imparted some sage advice:
"If there was a lesson to be learned," Chong says in a phone interview from a friend's home in Los Angeles, "it's to never put your face on a bong."
On his current relationship with Cheech
The two reunited at the Aspen Comedy Festival in February 2005 and spoke of working together on a new movie, "Cheech & Chong Gets Blunt,'' but "Cheech rejected that thing,'' says Chong.
"He considers himself an actor, someone above the comedy. He wouldn't do the characters and he won't grow his mustache back.''
Marin also has chosen to distance himself from his former partner, especially after the two engaged in a hissing match in print. Chong, dismayed over Marin's appearance in a Target store commercial, called his former partner a "professional Mexican'' and a "sellout.'' Marin, in New York City to direct the Broadway production of "Latinologues,'' responded in the New York Daily News: "Gramps is a little old,'' he was quoted as saying. "It's so sad when stoners get to the AARP age, you know? Who knows what's on Tommy's mind! It's the Alzheimer's age.''
Chong says has since called Cheech a couple of times by phone, "but he won't return my calls.
"It's like with Martin and Lewis,'' Chong says. "As soon as Cheech got famous enough and went off by himself to do his one movie, it was so insulting to me. Everything I've ever done with Cheech & Chong I would share with him. I don't need a reunion, but I would do one in a minute if I got the old Cheech back.''
It's not that Chong doesn't have other options, he says, especially now that he has more fully explored his spiritual side.
"I'm going to start a religion,'' he says. "It's based on my belief in procrastination. In other words, I'll be doing that -- but not right away.''

| I use that "Dave's not here" bit when a student is late. The other kids love it. Once after doing it for a couple of minutes, when I asked "who is it?" the student said "it's your mother" |

Hey, ever use "Dave's not here" as a lesson?
I've done it with a few different classes, depending on the group, it can be a blast. |
That one's funny.
I gotta use that one in class. |
