So did I. Our DVR was being fixed.

Frink, what did we miss?

Uh...I guess you are welcome to come here and check my DVR to answer that question...

I'm not a smoker, but afew times in my life I've had cigars with friends. By had, I mean not inhaling and just trying to gather smoke in my mouth before blowing it out like I'm all cool. The last time, I accidentally inhaled a couple of times. An hour or two later I was vomiting, and the rest of the night I literally could not sit up or else I felt incredibly nauseous.

I won't touch a cigar ever again.

It's an indie title. You've probably never heard of it. ;)

You're not a smoker, but you were doing it right, if I'm not mistaken. You're not supposed to inhale cigar smoke.

I smoke cigars, cigarettes, pipe (well until the poor thing had an unfortunate accident)...

As a former sometimes cigar smoker I can confirm that you aren't meant to inhale the smoke.

A lot of people do but seeing as it's meant to be a flavour thing rather than a coughing uncontrollably and choking thing the aim is to roll the smoke around the mouth picking up the taste and popping it out again.

Some people really enjoy the coughing and choking thing but that's just kinky.

Yeah, smoking cigars was actually what helped me get off the cigarettes.

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

Not sure if serious.

Unfortunately, I can't quit smoking...

 

 

 

 

 

 

...because I'd have to start first :D

I saw the original theatrical release of the Old Trilogy on the big screen and I'm proud of it...

You could give up booze and over-eating though right?

I'm dry as Atacama.

I lost 12kg back in 2009. And guess what, no yoyo effect!

Yeah but you could still give up being repellant to men and women of all ages, talentless and very silly right?

You forgot that your therapist told you to stop comparing other people to yourself?

I once discovered one of my buddies secretly hates my other buddy. I simply couldn't understand why, what grudges he could bear? It turned out he couldn't accept the other had less vices and more talents than him. True story.

true, but at least when I booze and/or over eat while sitting next to someone, I am not giving them heart disease and/or liver problems.

Wrong answer.

You are supposed to say something along the lines of, 'I am inexplicably attractive to people of all ages and genders, astonishingly charismatic and sadly the smartest person I know, I see it as a curse'.

I then propose marriage.

True but have you heard about a domestic abuse case directly linked to smoking? I could imagine one linked to giving up smoking but not smoking itself. What about the hit and run drivers where their judgement was blurred by tobacco.

You never hear someone say the next morning, "I'm really sorry about those really awful and hurtful things I said last night, it was just the fags talking".

And the effect of watching someone you love destroying themselves with booze and over indulgence is exactly the same as watching someone chewing their lungs away on tobacco. Not everyone who smokes does it in close proximity to someone else.

Everyone who drives however is pumping crap into the faces of anyone nearby but cars don't have to have diseased lung livery or only drive in covered areas.

Some motorcyclists do however wear skulls and such and I have to love them for that.

That'd be a lie. Maybe except for that curse thing.

Of course Warbler is wrong about booze. Alcohol does ruin people around the drinker.

I have never committed domestic abuse, nor do I drive drunk.

Stress can be deadly.

Domestic abuse, general drink induced violence and drunk driving can be deadly.

Urinating on exposed electrical wiring can be deadly.

I've never done any of that.
