Why do I get the feeling that somewhere a dude in a Denny's parking lot made an awful lot of money off Grandmom?

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!

No actually it was some form of herbal cigarette that was the rage back in the 70's......and NOT that "other herb" either!

No, what I meant was that:

Is exactly the point of making those things.

ROFL! I can imagine. I have a small herb garden, and I can say that and probably bay leaves would be the last thing you wanted to smoke.

That did give me an interesting idea though... What if a parent gave their kid an oregano joint and said "This is marijuana.", and let them try it. Yeah, lying is bad, but it might stop the kid from trying the real thing


Back on topic... What f somebody who was a smoker saw you with one of these in a nonsmoking area? They would probably ask you about it/why you where smoking... and then they found out that was a $150 cig in your hand, couldn't they just take it?

The problem with allowing these in public places is that smokers will get pissed when they're not allowed to smoke, and someone else is; and nonsmokers will get pissed when someone else is allowed to smoke, despite it clearly being a nonsmoking place. It's just confusing. And then you have smokers saying their very real cigarettes aren't, and so on.


And then you have the whole factor of it just being undesirable behavior. Much like how it doesn't matter if you're actually wearing a body suit, if it looks like you're exposing yourself, you're not going to be treated differently from someone who actually is.

I remember this time in Junior High where I suggested the guys in the back of the bus roll up a dollar bill, color the end of it orange and roll down the bus windows to make it look like they were smoking since it was really cold outside. Condensation and all that.

The bus driver, Mr. Kirchmeyer pulled the bus over and yelled at those guys. Of course, this was after making his way to the back. He was a tremendous fatass and coudn't make it back there without "weaving" the seats. He sat next to the offenders and told him that they were going to the office when they got to school for wasting his time and embarrassing him with fake cigarettes.

The kids were so embarrassed they forgot it was my idea in the first place. Muahahahaha.

This had no relevance to the topic, but it had fake cigarettes in it.

This topic is now about how bbq toyed with the minds of other children

One time, when I was around six or seven, I was trying to play with someone, and some neighborhood kid kept annoying us. It was a hot day out, so I found some melting tar, and showed him how he could press his shoe into it, lift it out a bit later, and it would keep the tread pattern.

So he did this, I went back to my playing. I go home after awhile, and then his sister comes over to my house bitching about how he ruined his shoes putting them in tar. I said something along the lines of "Stop bugging me, and get away from my house!". A few seconds later, my uncle came up in his underwear, carrying a shotgun. Good times!

No relevance to the topic, but it had fucking with other children in it.



derailment comprete.

Feba, you should have had the uncle smoking a cigarette at the very least. ><

One time, this kid was trying to bully me for my money on the school bus on the way to some aquarium when I was like 8. I pushed him off and he cried to the teacher, I got to sit in the front(which was pretty much the bad kid spot). So, we get to the place and go into the bathroom. Only 1 stall since it was outside the place but people needed to go, I'm 2nd to last. Guess whose behind me?

I shove that thing with so much toilet paper and flush it that it backs up. I walk out when he tries to go in, he comes running out, and I said it backed up when I flushed it. She told him to wait it out, and he pissed his pants before we even reached the front gate.

Oh and the bus driver smoked a cigarette after he left us off.

One time, near the end of a quarter, my gym class let kids sit around because most of us had already taken our gym clothes home. Always one to avoid gym whenever possible, I happily sat in the bleachers killing time.

Some douche comes over and starts punching me for no reason, I tell him to fuck off, he does. Comes back after awhile, starts shit again, so I get up and walk to the teacher. Calls him over, and he says that I was picking on him. The gym teacher tells him to go get one of the girls that had been sitting nearby, to get her story.

So he goes over, and is talking to her for like two or three minutes. I mention to the gym teacher that he's obviously feeding her a story, and he responds something along the lines of "HUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUBE QUIET". They come over, and of course their stories match up. He threatens to suspend all of us the next day, if nobody agrees on the story.

I come in the next day, completely apathetic (worst case scenario, I don't have to go to school. wheee. Making up wasn't a big deal, as I was sick often enough anyway.). The other two come up to the gym teacher in tears, afraid of being punished. After that point, said gym teacher was basically my bitch.


...and I think I saw him smoking in the parking lot a few times!

There is a 0 mg nicotine version as well. I saw it on their commercial... hahaha.
Maybe I should start e-smoking j/k j/k

[TheGrandMom]

I have to say that even the no nicotine ones appeal to me. I stopped smoking about 15-20 years ago but I still tend to put things in my mouth (i.e. pencils, pens, etc......do got elsewhere! ><) and suck on them. But I think if I got the no nicotine ones that it might lead to the nicotine ones and eventually I'd be buying real ones. So {No, thanks!} to anything like this! I still find it hard at times to walk out of the gas station without buying a pack!

[Omniblast]

I didn't smoke before but I was in band, and in order to create the correct ombasure with my Clarinet, I use to hold a pen in my mouth with only my lips, so that you train your lips to hold more strength. I wonder if that's why I still put pens in my mouth and hold there?
