What the urban dictionary says
Perhaps I’m naive, but I didn’t know that schwag means “…low grade marijuana. This type of marijuana is usually brown, seedy, dry.” My favorite is the usage:
adj- Ewww this schwag ass weed tastes horrible and it didnt get me very high. noun- I hate smoking schwag, but i cant get any dank right now so i guess i’ll have to.
According to the Urban Dictionary, schwag is also “A rock & roll band based in St. Louis, Missouri,” “a fat homely chick,” “an amazing band in London, ON,” “slang for penis,” “of reject status,” “cool or awesome cool and sweet skittles with sprinkles on top!,” and “Give away promo items procured through working an event. Often used in the stagehand world when working corporate or industrial gigs.”
That schwag wouldn’t get a fly high.
Often enough, high schoolers are duped by dealers into buying schwag under the impression that it is kb.
A pound of schwag only costs me $50!

I have a theory that the two main meanings of Schwag (bad weed and corporate givaways) are related. Both are things that one wouldn’t necessarily buy, but might as well take if someone is giving it out.

…i have a feeling people would be going to alot more trade show’s if the sales reps introduced the other kind of schwag as a giveway… perhaps in a baggy with the company logo on it…
I actually like the idea of a “clear schwag baggy” with a company logo on it (no weed needed). I brownbag to work and would love to get a box of free ziplocks with a sweet logo on it.

yeah, the word you guys are looking for is “swag”. but you probably already have some t-shirts printed up or something so I say just pretend like you really meant schwag this whole time.

Here is the skinny:
Schwag = Bad Pot
Swag = Bounty acquired by looting
You can remember by thinking back to that classic Futurama “Godfellas” where Bender was doomed to float through space forever with barely any swag (all he had was a candelabra and mini piano).

As a courtesy, and to hopefully increase my chances of getting extra sweet swag, I bought valleyswag.com and had it re-direct to here. Feel free to email me if you have questions or if that pisses you off or anything.

Please could you also buy freeweed.com and redirect it to my site. Ta!

I don’t think chris goes around buying people domain names, although I could be wrong. I’m 95% certain he bought the thing to keep me from doing something evil (you know, in a half-assed not really evil kind of way) with it. Also, maybe to teach me a lesson about sharing, other people and maybe, just maybe, a little about myself. Just for that you should send him an extra shirt, but he lies about his size. he really wants a medium.

Ah, we missed this post! Thank you Chris, we have to do a post about this extra generous gesture. I think we have a special prize for you.

Cool, thanks thor.
Like it says at the site, if you folks want control of valleyswag.com, just say the word and I’ll give it to you.
I just got my first package in the mail last week and it was sweet. Got one of the light blue RubyRed lab shirts and I’ve already noticed that I’m 0.3% cooler. I’m gonna do a post on it over at my site as soon as I can get some good photographs and do it up right.

since chris seems to be against cybersquating let me throw out my next pick to the general public,
Overheardathome.com
I’m telling you, it’s at least worth a jackson.
