SAN FRANCISCO -- Take the NBA's most popular team, some dorky photos and perhaps a secret ingredient-- the evening hours of a national pot-smoking holiday--and what do you get?
So many jokes.
A perfect storm of comedy touched down in the Bay Area spontaneously on Wednesday night after the defending champion Golden State Warriors participated in a newspaper fashion shoot.
We'll get to the memes -- God bless the memes -- but first let's set the context.

On Wednesday afternoon, the San Francisco Chronicle published a piece online in which the newspaper took a look at each Warrior's personal style. It's a stylish package involving a lot of hard work by a lot of people.

The Chronicle piece features a posed full-body shot of each Warriors player, images which are supposed to give readers a sense of each guy's "personal style off the court."
But those posed photos are just begging for snarky commentary.
Here are some of our favorite riffs.
