The Trials of Salvatore

Smoking a hookah is nice too. I try it once in a blue moon, it's quite relaxing. Plus it's supposed to leave most of the bad stuff in the water instead of mutating your lungs with them, though I'm not really sure how much truth there is in that statement.

Leaving it for a special occasion, eh?

 

Much as I'd love to smoke - the extra stress relief would be nice - my lungs are so sensitive to smoke of all kinds that even a puff or two sends me double-over to my nearest stash of Ventolin. (This is no joke or even exaggeration. I have had a single puff of a cigarette in my entire life and it took me hours to get my breath back.)

 

I think it makes people smell bad to smoke, so I don't do it. My ex-girlfriend smoked/smokes those peppermint cigarillos, and her breath was/is horrid afterward. Yuck.

 

I've had the misfortune of experiencing that myself, and it's far from pleasant, I agree. Go past a certain point and the smell sticks to clothes, and hair, which is insane. One of many reasons why 'ex' comes before 'girlfriend.'

 

Naw, it's empty. I had a friend bring it back with her because I forgot to bring one myself. I did, however, drink a fair bit of it while in Africa. It's rather cheap because most people are afraid of it.

 

I've never kissed someone with tobacco-smelling breath, but the whole "stinking smell that also clings to clothes/hair" bit has kept me well off the stuff. I'm not going near anything that reeks like that, thank you.

 

Bleck. I knew a girl who was a long-time smoker, and she never smoked around me 'cause she knew I didn't like it, but the one time we made out, she had a taste that was something akin to overcooked frozen vegetables.* It's something I'll never forget. Never try again, either.


* for those of you who don't know which vegetables/etc, look at this. Take those, and over cook them so they get slightly soggy, let them then sit for a few hours and toughen up, then taste'em. That's about what kissing her was like. Except with tongue too.

 

Or alternatively, go to any bar. That way you can experience the enlightening subject at hand and contract oral herpes in the process. Maybe more if you're up for it. At least two life lessons in one night! Feel free to thank me in advance for this fantastic suggestion.

 

Huh...sounds a lot like my pepsi addicted friend back in Indiana. Really, there's not enough sugar or caffeine in any cola to be addictive (at least in my perspective). Then again, I drink on average 4-6 pots of coffee just to stay awake between kegs of beer. Not even when I worked at a speedway back in the states and hourly sucked the leftover goop they mixed with soda water to make "coke" or "pepsi" products did I even once feel like drinking the stuff. Give me the nasty goop at the bottom of greek coffee anyday.

They all fail really. Weak stuff that destroys wonderful teeth better suited to munching good ol' yummy meats without offering anything else in return other than furry tongues and cavities.

 

That is a rather impressive quote. Nicely put, Archmage.

 

Whilst I agree with Orintil for the first and quite likely last time, I'd like to point something out - thanks to my many and varied allergies and illnesses, I can't smoke ANYTHING, I can't take drugs, I can't drink alcohol and coffee tastes like shit. Cola is about the only yummy thing in this life I'm allowed to indulge in, so fuck it I'm gonna indulge!

 

Are you allergic to latex?

 

*activates disruptor rifle* Do you really want to risk finding out?

 

Don't you make those kinky costumes out of la-... Oh.

 

Would you like a complimentary Disruptor Rifle, Yuki?
