I absolutely loved the little rascles growing up. Way before my time but even in the 70's they played reruns. My older brothers and sisters loved the cartoons and I would go into my parents room and would watch the little rascals on a tiny 13" tv. I can hear that grainy music playing now.

Well before my time too, but WPIX in NY got me hooked back in the day too. Used to listen to the Beau Hunks revivalist stuff that came years later too. I thought they really got the right audio quality of the period down too.
Someone else of the same caliber as (LeRoy Shield -the original composer of that distinct grainy music:nod:), Raymond Scott playing 'Powerhouse'. I believe Warner Brothers approached him for music for the Warner Brothers Cartoons. Actually awesome stuff! He would more of a musical engineer than straight composer later and would experiment with early pre-moog era electronic music.

I was working with a woman today and I kept thinking that she looked like somebody and I just couldn't remember until I got home. The Breaking Bad series, the friend of Jessie Pinkman, remember Badger. I saw a woman today that looked like him. She could have been his twin sister.

But I like it!
Last night was all about listening to old ish music. Queen, Bowie, Cramps (live at Napa State Mental Hospital no less) and a few others for no real reason. I got into some 30s blues as well. It's kinda interesting hearing so many similarities, and thinking you can see how the newer stuff was built on the old. Anyways, I'm a bit of a music fan...


Edit - this could probably go in the 'bump' thread, as well, but it's going in this one. Only because I found it first...


So a couple of months ago I got some new stems from Team HI, who packed everything up with some nice degummed hemp fiber, which I dropped in the spare drawer and promptly forgot about. Until a few weeks back when someone suggested filter material. So I've been tearing off small pieces and putting them below the screen in my HI. After a few days they are sticky, and hard to draw through, so I replace it with another small chuck of fiber, and tossed the used ones in a corner of a stash box, because they must be good for something? Simmer in milk at least, right?

So I accidentally combusted :bang: in a glass tube, which gunks the screen and filter and everything needs a clean. But I don't feel like cleaning... I feel like vaping... so... I jam two of the wee pieces of fiber into the HI stem and give it a shot, and then spit out a mouthful of burnt chunks of herb and other sludge from the tube and screen. Eurgh. But the second draw was pretty nice. Very smooth. And my skull is twisting, and a huge cloud comes out of my head. I do 10 or 12 draws like that, and invent a new word... 'bedicated' :whoa: I'll leave you smarties to figure out what it means... Anyways, it's 11:00 PDT. The same two pieces of fiber are still in the stem. Should I try it? Fark yes - the clouds are still huge, and I might need a nap. I will for sure if I don't keep taking pulls on this, expecting the clouds to stop. The clouds aren't stopping! Why wasn't I informed about this earlier? So I'm sharing it here, for those that may not have discovered the complete and total joy a small piece of degummed hemp fiber is when it's absolutely black with reclaim. If I thought I'd get away with it I'd be tucking a couple of the good butter knives into a burner on the stove and see how they work old school. :myday:

Speaking of which @Old School - thanks for the reclaim pointers! You were the first one to get me started on this stuff :)

PS - the clouds just aren't stopping! :razz:

Been a long time, miss the Red Lebanese hash.

Did you catch that it takes 100 kg (220 pounds) of cannabis to make 200 grams of hash. That was for their top grade hash.

Is he using a McDonald's straw in that first video :) The second was my favourite, never thought I'd say this but I'd like one of those cigarettes.

Herb gardener...
Iv been working on the same job since is quit combustion and tobacco in September...
Im building an extension, this house has a field behind it, and behind that is a nice cafe that I like to visit, this field is about 400 meters wide...

Anyway, when I first started this job I would walk to the cafe, buy my food, then try to get back as quick as possible to eat my food hot, so I would run across the field...but I would have to do this in bursts, by the time I get back, my legs are jelly and I'm bent over sweating and huffing for breath like an asthmatic lung cancer patient with bronchitis...

Anyway I hadn't been to the cafe in a while, I decided to go the other day, and to my amazement, I ran the whole way across field, effortlessly...
I wasnt even out of breath, I couldn't believe it...

I felt like forrest gump when he reached the end of the field, I could have kept going...
I just felt like running....

I haven't experience this since I was a kid (smoked since 11, nearly 30 now), just that feeling that you could run forever, effortlessly.

I was beggining to doubt if fucking combustion really had any health benifits for me, now I know..

Or their method of how they determine the quality by how hard they bang on the hash drum.

I really want to tell you yes. But I didn't see any telltale yellow or red stripe on the straw. (Look hand rolled) Haven't set foot in a McDonalds in 10 years but I somehow know this. I should not know this so inherently. But I do know this, after he hacked for a full minute he still had a smile on his face afterwards. He was luvin' it.

@grokit I would like to tell you the human race is doing it's best to satisfy it's will to power, There is no finish line, it is a race to who can push their boulder up the proverbial hill farther. Only to greet another boulder at the bottom of the hill the next day. Yes, I'm invoking Sysiphus.
But from a distance it can appear to be more of a race to the bottom at times.

There is an outmoded unhealthy sense of competition that needs to disappear. Who owns more with the bigger price tag. Instead of the value an item gives.
But I covered a human type race a few posts back with pineapples. Why We Hate Cheap Things.

Watched a part of the Cannabis Health Summit when it was streaming live. First thing I realized was that most FCers are already ahead of the curve with the science and knowledge base. Compared to the general public. :clap:So I was already warmed up to a lot of the information. Not sure what there policy towards distribution. They may be offering a video collection at some point. But it is around youtube. And most of the speakers have an online presence. So either way you can get familiar with these medical doctors researchers and scientists and their message through other legit means. If that suits you better. Still felt like a moment.

I tried to watch it as a viewer who might not have already formed an opinion on Medical MJ. But instead of that of an uninformed viewer. It does cover why the plant offers more synergistic properties if consumed as a whole, then trying to isolate it's components and make a controlled medicine (:uhh: or recreational for that matter.) Forget the politics for a sec. It really is a conundrum if you are taught isolate a compound to get its effects to say cure an illness. But it is the Eastern mindset that kinda applies here.
To grossly oversimplify. The plant produces a protective resin that also works on our endocannabinoid system and by it's very nature protects on the cellular level of most animals. Terpines and CBD the other part of the equation/s.

How many people who would watch the whole conference and come away with.... :whoa:You are not a stoner. You are a responsible self mediacator who is trying to feel 'normal'. It is an exit drug. You can get to know it well and quit other substances and seek healthy outlets. There is an irrational guilt and stigma associated to it and unfortunately inadvertently perpetuated by those who consume it. You have heard a lot of these messages before, but not so much from doctors.

Decent production standards. over 10.000 viewers :D There was Vaping commercials with cannibus having a cameo role! All of them have someone pick up a bud for a brief moment before they cut away to something else. Kind of like the beer commercials where they admire the bottle, but you don't ever see them drink from it. And a vaping info-mercial for the Cloud EVO. (They were offering a discount code.)

Wow that was almost a review back there.:uhh: Not terribly random. :suspicious:Kind of deliberate. :suspicious:Would normally wrap it up with something. But, Ummm I'm kind of spent after writing all that. Y'now what? Tell ya what Go FISH!

Remember how exciting it was to buy music. Browsing through discount cassettes & finding an album you'd always wanted was a thrill. Even more so if the cassette player in your car was working & you could crank it immediately. Ordering an obscure album from a music store & waiting weeks until you could finally put it on the turntable sounds horrible but I'm kinda glad I got to experience all that.

I still go to the occasional record show just for the smell of a decaying records. :haw: There is still stuff out there that hasn't seen the light of the interwebs. As for me, I own over 200 LPs and should get around to having a listening party at some point and transfer them to digital and beyond. Since a lot of it is weird, unusual and obscure enough to slip through the cracks. Say, Does anybody ever check out WFMU? They used to have Beware of the Blog. But new content ended in July.

Remember buying a record. Getting it home and playing it while looking at the album cover art? I still indulge myself of buying a record that I never heard of and then research it later and listen to it online. But not exactly the same kind of find.

We have a record store that is in the basement of a used book store. I still look through their stuff. Records of new artists are still being made for archivists to buy I believe.

I remember when video streaming was in it's infancy and TV stations didn't figure out what was allowed to be sent online yet. I got clued into this and starting looking for a tv station to stream their content. Streaming was kind of a new thing too. After much messing around with my PC and different software , Eureka! I found a commercial station simulcasting it's content. The very second I came out of a local commercial,and the very next thing I saw on my PC was the opening credits to Bonanza! :lmao:
Talk about hitting paydirt. That is like hitting the center of the bullseye when you were merely aiming for the target. It seemed like such a joke to me at the time.

The sound of vapor
Now this here is an example of how they do things in the old country.
After watching these videos I feel like asking a question that I never dared asking but always wondered about since I've discovered FC and read the word kif here:

Why do you guys call it kif instead of pollen?

I've been to Chaouen as well and that's where I first discovered it and been told there that the kif is the left over from the plant after beating it several times to collect the pollen and make hash with it. In fact they chop these left over, mix it with a little bit of tobacco and saliva and smoke it in one hit in a sebsi.
Here you can see the head of the pipe and the kif:
