I can't believe I wasted 93 seconds of my life waiting for that to download and watch.

What is that supposed to be doing anyways?

Totally off topic but Pianorama, you have an intersting signature. 

"Classical music = fine wine; Pop, Maksim, Britney Spears, etc. = coke"
   Bernhard

Maybe fine tune a bit:
Classical music = fine wine; classical crossover = diluted juice; Pop, Maksim, etc. = coke; Britney Spears = Pepsi



Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

actually to directly quote bernhard

Quote
Now consider the top wines in the world (Chateaux Petrus, Chateaux Rotschild, Chateau Margaux, etc.) We are talking Bach, Beethoven , Chopin, etc. Now consider that tiny French state producing superb wine that very few people know about. We are talking Alkan, Scarlatti. Now consider the stuff you buy in boxes in supermarkets: Maksim. Or the ones that they added antifreezer to make it taste better: Ali Wood.

And then of course you have coke and pepsi (Brtiney Spears, etc.)

But let us not forget the high quality aged whiskeys – that would be jazz.

So just as wine is not great coca cola, classical music is not just great music.

but this is a little trivial sorry

what was this thread about again? ::)

That's a pretty cool invention, but I see you wasting all the smoke!!!!

Pianorama: A bong is a tubular device used to inhale smoke. You put your cannabis (I would be hard pressed to find a tobacco bong smoker :D) in a little bowl and a tube goes from the bowl into the water inside the bong. You then put your mouth to an opening at the top of the bong and, whilst holding a flame to the weed, you breath in, pulling the smoke through the water and into the bong, into your mouth. What you see there is some kind of device attached to a bong that pulls the smoke through without any effort by the human, which I think is very lazy.
It's a very quick way to get high, and I don't like it very much. I prefer the art of rolling a joint: it's far more pleasing than stuffing weed into a little bowl, and far more rewarding to smoke your own creation.

I completely agree, not more than 10 minutes ago I rolled 2 joints fom an eighth, which I will enjoy greatly in a few minutes.  However, It's a hell of alot of fun to go on a burn cruise and to pass around a joint and a bowl at the same time.  Wheeeeee.

True, and the original signature said 'condensed quote from Bernhard'. I kept it that way for about 5 minutes, realised how stupid it sounded and looked, and changed it to just 'Bernhard'. Now we all know.
Okay, now we can focus on this weird, smoke - thingamajig. ::)

An 8th into two joints??? Man you must be a heavy toker! I like to make an 8th last a week, or atleast a good weekend. But in two joints? How much do you usually smoke in a week?

Completely varies.  Since all my friends have vacation this week it'll probably be arouns a half or so.  I remember on time we got an ounce and just drove down to New York smoking the entire time, greatsest experience of my life.

How much money does this usually come to? I have an allowance of £50 a month (I should really get a job :D) and I scarcely spend it on bud. I don't smoke during the week as it ruins my concentration in school, and I've cut down heavily since last year (messed up my GCSE's from too much toking). Most times my friends have bud and I just join in. The main times I buy is when I have a free house for the weekend and we have a party. It's a lot more fun to have some than waiting on others to get some.

Did you ever play shot gun?

Where you have a bottled bong, and it gets passed around a circle of people, each having you hold it in until it gets back to them.

Man, I have lost a good few brain cells playing that in my youth. The good old days, ay?  ;D

Be warned, it aint for the lightweight toker!

Here's another little trick, and this one is guarenteed to send anyone to the outhouse...

Get a few thick blankets or sleeping bags. Have three or four people get under them with their heads, and using their hands to seal up all gabs. You should have four peoples underneath all facing each other. Now, have each person light a joint and start pumping blow backs out. Within a short time the air will become replaced by smoke, and it becomes estremely difficult to tolerate. Stay under there until the joints are all finished. Then stand up and remove the blankets.

If you dont feel cained after this, you are not a man, you are a machine!

I know the shotgun game, holding in a toke till you get the joint again. But never played it with a bong, that sounds crazy :P That sleeping bag game will give you the dries like a beeeyatch, and dam red eyes too. And try to avoid McDonalds for the munchies, KFC is much better ;D mmmmmmmmm chickan ;D ;D

Have you ever got so stoned that you vomit or barf (as the americans say)? I hate the feeling of being lightheaded, that's why I've cut down. Smoking a teenth in one joint will give me a severe lighthead, and it isn't pleasant. Specially when you want to get a drink of water, and you have to lie down after every 5seconds of filling up your water bottle - it takes a long long time to get a drink that way I can tell you :D

"That sleeping bag game will give you the dries like a beeeyatch, and dam red eyes too"

Indeed. We used to call it 'ganj-eye'  ;D

Munchies wise, I was always a Maryland cookie man personally. Tea and biscuits is the ultimate munchy food imo. Although a strips meal is never to be grumbled with, lol.


"Have you ever got so stoned that you vomit"

Actually no. Going 'yellow' was a hanging offence when I used to smoke regularly, so you would avoid it like the plague. I did used to think it was funny seeing people get yellow though. A mate of mine did the most killer blow backs, and if anyone was looking a bit pasty he'd pump them full of the stuff.

Lol, the things you used to do as a 'yute' ay!


"Smoking a teenth in one joint will give me a severe lighthead"

I used to get that the worst of bucket bongs or lung bongs. The ruffer bongs always used to get me seriously cained. Joints never did so much. I find you can usually smoke a joint at your own pace and control how cained you get. But will bongs, its different. Especially if someone else is feeding you!


"Specially when you want to get a drink of water"

I'll tell you a funny story...

At school we had this really fucked up mate who was a total pot head. This one summer day we'd neen having a smoke and all had nasty dry mouth. This guy was begging for a drink of water, so my mate told him he could have one IF he could finish this packet of stale 'Rich Tea'. Dont know if you're from the UK, but if not, the Rich Tea is just about the worst dry mouth bisuits there is.

Anway, this guy sat down with a full pack and after about an hour he'd done the lot, clean! What he didnt know was that my mate had already drunk all the pop  ;D

Tell you what though, you would laugh at this kid. He was the funniest person to have on a sesh with you. I can remember him running around these tents (we were camping out) looking for his shoes, and the silly muppet had them on his feet!

Lol, memory lane, its a scary thing! I havent done anything like that in a good few years.

Hehehe, what a nasty trick!! Yeah I know the Rich Tea's, little buggers to dry mouth. As your from the UK, have you ever tried Aqua Drops? OMG they are the best thing in the WORLD for dries!! And so refreshing and tasty too!!

Have you ever been to Reading festival? I went there last year and it was great fun! My friend Finch got there first and found a killer spot, and me, Rob and Jim got there later that day and set up camp: all our tents facing each other, all on top of a ground sheet. It rained slightly though, so we put the groundsheet over all four tents to avoid collecting puddles, and were sheltered from the rain! It was great! However when it got real sunny it was absolutely boiling underneath, and made me very dehydrated. But one day, after trekking into town to find a toilet (where they had a cool thing going: a security guard would let people in one at a time to use it and then a caretaker would go in afterwards and clean and spray the used cubicle: it was great, very nice smelling) and bought some general food stuff. Rob got a big bottle of tropical juice, and when we got back Jim and Finch went to see some bands while me and Rob stayed back to smoke a little more. We decided to use the rest of the juice (only half had been drank) in the container as a bong. So, we got to boring a hole in it and sticking a tube in, and when Rob had a toke on it it completely collapsed inwards! The plastic container was really flexible and gave him a huge rush of smoke, and he said he's never felt more stoned :P

Where abouts in the UK do you live? If you live around Oxfordshire you should come to Truck Festival this July, it's a great little festival! It's on a farm in Steventon, would be awesome to see you there!
