The label reads, "T.A.S. MADRAS SNUFF. SOVEREIGN IN COLOR."

I couldn't resist it, but now I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do with it.

The label admonishes me that, "Smoking is a main cause of lung Cancer,
lung diseases and of heart and arteries diseases."
I'm fairly certain I'm not supposed to smoke it.

I put it up my nose, don't I?
But then, how much and how?

I wish Abby were here.
She'd know what to do with snuff.

Ow!

Gak!!!

It burns!

Hello deviated septum!

It stings, but I like it.

Oh, you say that all the time.

I love science.

Peeps... what the hell did you just do???

Why? What should I have done? I'm taking requests from the audience.

Please, don't entice me to embrace another vice!!!

From wikipedia:



I am so trying it!

I've always been obsessed with snuff bottles anyway.

I heard a rumor that CeeGee is able to boink one of those comfortably, without a drop of KY...

Way to go, champ!

I've always enjoyed snuff. The civilised method is to spill a little bit onto the fleshy part of your hand between your thumb and index finger, then snort it off.

It's a nicer tobacco habit than smoking or chewing, but you will notice a constant brown stream of mucous which is pretty disgusting. Napoleon died of stomach cancer, due to taking between one and two ounces of snuff per day for many years.

I like the Gawith brand apricot snuff the best, it is quite tasty.

"constant brown stream of mucous"

hmm. Maybe I won't try it.

But just out of curiosity, of course, where could one buy this Gawith snuff?

And by the way, Peeps, what color is "sovereign?"

Ain't civilization grand?

Sovereign, I gather, is the hue of dung.

Here's the deal, Festus, everyone says you should "snort" the snuff (Gullet).
That's misleading.
A genteel sniff results in a much pleasanter experience.
Much. Oh, take it from me.

I'm not getting Sovereign-colored mucus.
However, the habit is young and inconsistent.
I doubt it can be any more bothersome than the effects of smoking.

I think it pretty much requires a snort. I used to partake back in the day and a snort just about did it for me. If you don't snort then you leave a dusting on your fleshy thumb/index piece and that just isn't cool.

But brown mucus dripping out of your nose is trés sexy!

Oui.

Reminds me of the early 70's Jr. High school craze when the head shops used to sell this scented snuff called "Cokesnuff".

I think the craze lasted about week, with bunch red eyed sneezing 13 year olds.

we used to snort pixy stix when we were kids

This one kid in my school used to drink milk through his nose.

I preffered touching 9-volt batteries to my tongue.

All we had was coke.

No coke, pepsi.

i don't like coke, but it sure smells good

No soup for you!

HA!

Um, no.

cheebooger?

There's a number of pissed off Navajo silversmiths who'll be lookin' for your Scots/Irish ass for that crack, 'n every one of 'em's named Chee.

This thread is no longer up to snuff.

...

I like snuff, but only if I'm the cameraman...

Nice.

Damn greyboy has been so reasonable that he killed all the fun of this thread.

*sigh*

For a lady such as yourself, Peeps, a genteel sniff is always appropriate.


Especially if that lecherous young gardener starts making bedroom eyes at you.



Sorry about your marigolds, by the way.

I'm Sorry,
I forgot reason shouldn't be introduced into the Lounge.

true dat

'zactly.

But we loves ya anyhow.

Reason is the province of the unimaginative.

That's reasonable.

Bad Porkio... Bad, Bad, Bad...

I've no idea what either of you mean.
