--- Quote from: Ballard on 30 Aug 2010, 21:33 ---That is an excellent phrase. I'm quite fond of "partaking in the devil's lettuce" as these things go.
P.S. this is what I mean about mediocre or shit threads starting interesting conversations. I missed that thread entirely and would be pleased if we spawned a repeat.

And yet you shat all over the post that started that line of conversation.

Awesome derailing is often unintentional. Either way it can be accomplished without being mean-spirited.

I refuse to apologise for how stupid a word "doobie" is and how much it infuriates me.
When I was in Boston 0bessions and I referred to smoking pot as "going to the circus" and buying pot as "buying circus tickets". This lead to hilarious misunderstandings when Pen asked if we could take her daughter to the circus as well.

It is also where I was introduced to the term "punch a cone" which is honestly a fucking fantastic and evocative way of describing the act of potsmokery.
What I am basically saying is that this forum would be way better if Brett came back

You hadn't heard that term before? Must be an East Coast thing. Also it only applies to smoking through a bong. Joints and pipes don't really have cone pieces and thus you cannot punch them.

This is silly. Get over it. "smoking a doobie" is not some retarded catchphrase paully shore drops, it's just smoking a doobie. I understand that nobody likes stereotypical stonerisms, and much like cussing it has to be done properly to ensure you dont sound ridiculous, but to rageboner over the word doobie is pretty unnecessary. (edited for redundant adjectives)
Jimor:
Man, I thought this was going to be a Tom Johnston vs. Michael McDonald thread. Y'all suck!
Eris:
To be fair, I didn't take it as jimmy raging out over the word. It was more that it is making the guy seem like a stereotypical stoner, who generally are more annoying than actual stoners who don't spout that bullshit. I work with a pretty big stoner and I have never heard her use the term 'doobie', and if I did I would have told her she sounded like a dumbarse.
Also, maybe it is a cultural thing in terms of vernacular, but jimmy calling the guy a cunt wasn't an over-reactionary thing, it was just kind of a way to punctuate his point. I have been called a cunt before and not been offended, and refer to people as cunts when said people are pissing me off (normally it happens when I am road raging over shitheads driving. Sure it is a "bad word", but it is no more one than fuck or shit or crap or any of those words.
