Tobacco gas mask looooookkkkk – $100


My buddy has a motorized gasmask made for aspestice removeing
he learned that upon hooking any tobacoo pipe to the end of it’s mouth price ur whole face is ingulfed in a thicket of smoke!!!
After weeks of lung damage he is now ready to get some of his money back he want 100$$ but I could talk him down to Manet even 75$$ or something
if u kno what’s up hit me up
pce my fellow tree lovers!!

A motorized gas mask? A little research reveals that such a thing does exist, but is generally referred to as a powered respirator. Motorized sounds more like you can drive it around. Which, admittedly, is pretty cool. So which Manet should we give him for it?

“The Fifer”?

546b

“Monet Painting in his Floating Studio”?

546c

He can’t have “Le Bar aux Folies-Bergère” unless I can get “Olympia” in change.

    “After weeks of lung damage” …
    It’s the years of brain damage that seem most apparent here.

    Also, the phrase “talk him down to Manet” makes me wonder where he is now. What’s above Manet? Monet? Kandinsky? Emin? El Greco? Damian Hirst? A mezzanine?

        It’s kind of ironic, considering that the point of a powered respirator is to prevent lung damage (and eventual cancer when working with “aspestice”).

        Btw, “aspestice” is so wildly misspelled that my browser’s spell-checker was unable to decipher it into “asbestos”. It’s kind of like the old complaint about using a dictionary to look up correct spellings: if you don’t know how to spell it, how are you supposed to find it in the dictionary?

          So now of course I’m imagining a couple of guys making a giant bong out of an antique potbellied stove, with tin piping …

    I don’t know; it’s the aspestice removal that has me wondering. Where is it? Where is it removed from? Is it already in my body and has to be driven out by the motorized gas mask?

    And I’m having difficulty picturing someone wearing a gas mask and smoking a pipe at the same time. How does one do that? And why is it referred to as a tobacco gasmask in the headline but a motorized one in the body?

        “No dude, those are totally his. I keep telling him he needs to lay off that stuff but he just keeps bringing it in the house. Then he leaves his shit everywhere and I have to clean the place up. I think you should give him some jail time or somethin’ so he’ll knock it off.”

    The whole tobacco thing is a ruse. This device is strictly for smoking marijuana. He’s scared of getting in trouble but still wants to sell it for $100… Come to think of it, I’d love to get lung damage after a few weeks, but I won’t spend more than $50!

      But….he says it’s for tobacco smoking! Just like the store where I used to live, called “Highway 420″….they also sold a wide assortment of pipes, that were strictly intended for tobacco use only. XD

      They also sold glass stems that were only meant as protective covers for ballpoint pens. And glass stems with bubbles on the end & little flowers inside of them that were only supposed to be for burning oil incense. *wide-eyed look of innocence* *nods head*

      Perfectly innocent little store with a wide selection of tobacco-smoking pipes and other novelties. And I am sure that the person selling the gas mask simply enjoys inhaling enough nicotine in one sitting to kill a horse. Nothing illegal going on here. Nope, not at all.

      (Note sarcasm. Also, in case anyone’s interested- you can go on Youtube and find a ton of videos of people using gas mask contraptions to smoke weed. LOL.)

        We have several of those stores around campus including “Puff and Stuff” and “The Joint” which don’t actually sell any tobacco but have plenty of glass pipes and bongs for “tobacco” use. They also have porn and sex toys. Apparently it all goes together. Before Salvia was outlawed here, they used to sell that. They will actually throw you out of the store if you mention smoking anything that is not tobacco. Of course that was a problem when they sold Salvia.

          Madison had quite a few shops like that, but the craziest place I’ve ever been to is Eugene, OR. They have those shops on every corner! And salvia was sold openly when I was there. I don’t know if it’s outlawed in Oregon yet…in WI it’s actually pretty hard to cultivate well, but pot grows like wildflowers, so we’re mostly about pot out here.

          The place I stayed in Vienna was a bit sketchy, too. The block across the street from the hotel we were in was [porn shop][head shop][strip club][strip club][head shop advertising sex toys] etc etc….but yeah that was Europe. They’re weird over there 😛

      This is more a response to Lola’s coworker/friend/pipe/son story, but for some reason her reply button is missing, so this’ll have to do.

      Our local bong shop was also a porn shop, and one time my bf and I caught our male boy’s gym teacher looking at gay porn. We had already graduated by then, but he was still the gym teacher at the highschool. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with gay teachers, and being gay doesn’t automatically make you a pedophile or anything, but a lot of high school seniors are/look like men, and according to my bf, this gym teacher was always lingering around when they were showering.

      Marijuana smokers need to come up with a truly obtuse code if they want to avoid getting flagged; just spazzing out about loving trees is not gonna work.

    I love Manet! He is not allowed to have a Manet when I don’t have one and I actually have an IQ. Actually the word “ingulfed” is the one that got me thinking. Which gulf is he in and can we hold him under the water for an extended amount of time? And that ending “pce my fellow tree lovers!!” just made me laugh hysterically cause I was pondering a new industry of tree porn. And is making love to a tree taboo like bestiality? How would you pick up a tree? “Hey baby, you have beautiful foliage. What do you say you take that bark off and you and me make a sapling?” Of course the tree is probably a larch. Also PCE stands for Personal Consumption Expenditures. So this guy is saying “Personal Consumption Expenditures my fellow tree lovers!!” which seems a little out of character. I’m thinking his fellow tree lovers’ personal consumption expenditures primarily consist of visits to the tree surgeon and awls for making strategically placed holes. I am not going into detail about what the holes are for. I’ve already had my coffee today and I’m like this. Its going to be an interesting day.

      “Smoking trees” is a euphemism for smoking Not Tobacco (see various comments above).

      As for actually loving trees – trees were and still are sacred in some cultures (e.g., Druids/oaks, Jains/temple trees). Men have married trees (cf. Frazier’s The Golden Bough) in Asian countries.
      Here’s a blurb on that from Britannica: http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/604014/tree-marriage

        Once again you have enlightened me Lola. I obviously don’t know much about “not tobacco” use. Or even tobacco use for that matter. And I knew tree lovers didn’t mean what I was saying, I was just being silly. I am aware of the druid aspect but I did not know some men had married trees. That is very interesting. Maybe this guy is married to his tree and is speaking to his friends who are married to trees. That sounds like a dull dinner party. Did you know that some men were in love with the Mona Lisa? They would bring her poems, notes, and even left flowers under her at the Louvre back in the early 1900’s when they could actually get close to it. When she was stolen in 1911, the Parisian papers said that she had fled with a lover.

I do a really specific type of reference most of the time, but I’ve run across a lot of weirdness and while my brain sometimes can’t remember which request I’m supposed to do next at work, it has a great ability to cough up random things like this that I read at least five years ago.

          I am actually in the midst of getting my MLIS. Its a pleasure to meet you Lola. I love how librarians (and library students like me) store random information in their heads but regularly forget important things like what their own phone number is. Did you know Stonewall Jackson’s arm has its own grave miles from his grave? It was amputated in the field and buried and then he was transported and died. This is something I bring up to break the ice at parties or on a date. No wonder I don’t have a boyfriend.

      Damn. I know I’ve seen instructions on how to do this before. I know I need to empty something (other than my head). Guidance?

          Thanks. It appears I successfully cornered the market on “duh” if only for a moment. I believe I have rectified the situation.

      It’s possible, but it’ll take you six times as long 🙁

    I have to say, “aspestice” sounds like something you’d need protection from. In addition to evoking that mineral that causes lung problems, the poster also seems to be aluding to plague (Y. pestis) AND lice (which won’t kill you, like plague and lung cancer, but is still way nasty). Whatever was being removed, it was obviously some bad, bad stuff.

    Geez..I must remind myself to never, never, never go back into the posts from the previous day and try to make sense of the ramblings. I feel like Meredith did the other day because this place totally turned into an episode of The Jersey Shore. WTF & FTW???

      Heh, last week when they sent out an email telling us that Friday is Jersey Day, I sent a response that I would be coming as Michael Sorrentino.

        I must be psychic (and a little bit scared). Altho, if you would spend a tad* more on the hair product, you could totally pass for a Pauly.
