The best Social Seminar film introduces us to a fellow named Tom, a guy you wouldn't want to introduce to your folks, for fear he might do something embarassing. Tom is such a pot-dope-lsd-mushroom head and his rumnations about life is too funny. Love his printing skills too! Check out his (I think) Welfare meeting and his "spot-the-bullshit" game he plays with his counsellor! Look what kind of pad 3 potheads can share (quite nice actually).. Tom says, while he's high on mushrooms, 'Let's Go Hiking!', my response, "Yes, Lets!" Highly reccomended!!
