	:Response to paragraph 2: Does a quality Silly article need to be side-splittingly hilarious, or is well-wrought tongue-in-cheek nonsense (my basic intent when writing this) enough? My original purpose was to poke fun at a canonical subject, creating a story of its discovery that both poked fun at real world concepts (prohibition, decriminalization, various other hemp lore), poke fun at other RDM BSG drug references ([[chamalla]] and so forth), that "fit" within the actual canon events that took place. As far as hilarity, I find the "Also known as" section to be particularly funny, especially such entries as "Adama Bomba", "Tigh Stick" and "Battlestash Galactiganj". I'm all for any attempts to increase the funny factor, of course, but personally I am content with the article as it stands, even if that means no Quality article tag. Obviously, this is a wiki, I claim no ownership, consensus may differ, and it may be edited at will! I just wanted to add my 2 cents.

	:: QA is different than FA, in my mind. Any article can be a QA, which is the ultimate goal of ''any'' article. FA is quite selective, since it's representative of the community's efforts at large.

	:Response to paragraph 1: yes, that was basically my thought as well. I hesitated to nominate it (just as I hesitated to write it in the first place). Maybe Silly articles shouldn't be official Quality articles, though technically they have to be "quality" (at least by consensus standards) to even remain in existence. I absolutely understand and agree with the decision to restrict them from FA status, however, I don't believe we should restrict them from QA status -		:Response to paragraph 1: yes, that was basically my thought as well.

I think this is one of the funniest, but let's make it work to the point where it's just pee-in-your-pants hilarious. Maybe a bogus TOS reference to [[plant vapors]] would help (with [[Starbuck (TOS)\|Starbuck]] being disappointed that his personal stash was confiscated or something).

	''~~Start the suggestion here~~...''		I'm a little torn about the notion that a non-sequitur page can be a quality page. However, perhaps looking at the quality of the article's purpose (that is, to make one laugh and poke fun at a canonical subject) is sufficient to merit a silly page as quality. This would allow silly pages to get some credit since they can't be Featured Articles.
