DudeSteve Hager, the editor of High Times, is reportedly being pushed out of his position. He's been asked to "vacate his office for the next two months as the magazine's parent company Trans High Corp. decides how to proceed." Two months to make the decision. Christ, you people are high.

At last night's regional U.S. Air Guitar Championships, Gawker videocamera-haver Alex Goldberg caught up with High Times editor Bobby Black. Guess what? Dude smokes a lot of pot!

In the first edition of the Dining section since 4/20, stoners will be happy to find that the section is devoted to greenage. Is that weed or cress on the cover? Only one man knows, and that man is the future King of England. Also known as your highness. Kim Severson brings us the facts on the King of the Hippies, which is a lot like being the King of the Gypsies except realer. First of all, dude's into "hedge laying." Second of all, he lives in a place called Highgrove. Third of all, he makes biscuits and other munchies under the label Duchy Originals. But perhaps most convincingly: For a royal, every day's Friday, and he ain't got no job and he ain't got shit to do. He's gotta get high.—JoshMore »
While the rest of the country spent most of last week dressing their Roman-Candle wounds, the Vanity Fair softball team was making history on the diamond, schooling the world-renowned High Times Bonghitters, 8-5. The stoners took an early lead in the game, but it didn't take long for the Veefers to exact their vengeance for May's 13-4 loss to the Bonghitters.

One wouldn't accuse the Vanity Fair softball team of being prompt with its postgame reports — they work at a monthly, after all, and you know the flexible relationship those kinds of people have with deadlines — but you've got to give them some credit: They're now posting reports on the public VF site, and they've even got pictures. In the Veefers' Rashomonic look at last week's tilt against High Times, the Bonghitters still win but the prose is more flowery.

The High Times softball team continues to steamroll its way through the media competition, pulling out a 13-4 win over the Vanity Fair squad last night. Editor-at-large Steve Bloom has a wrapup of the game, but there's no mention of VF's sartorial choices. We presume Graydon's kids wore tartan-plaid uniforms, and we further presume they looked spectacular.

As if isn't bad enough that The New Yorker took home only two National Magazine Awards last night, the far worse news is that the mag's softball team suffered its eighth straight loss to the fabled High Times Bonghitters. One bright spot: Apparently they've got spiffy new personalized uniforms.

We've fallen behind in reporting on the fledging 2006 media-softball season, but we're determined to make it up to you. First, and most interestingly, High Times has graciously begun providing newsreel-style "Potcasts" of their games. We're duly impressed with the craftsmanship, but, even more than that, we're impressed with the thing's actual existence. We could never motivate to get something like that finished, even if we were sober.
