The AW Designated Smoking Area

Haggis · Mar 8, 2007

Hi, and welcome to the smoking area, a place where smokers can meet and mingle with others of their dying breed.

Come on in. Light up your pipe, cigar or cigarette, lean back against the dumpster, and enjoy yourself. Watch out for the rats, though. They're pretty big around here.

The place does need some work. I'd appreciate it if someone could bring in a space heater. A couple of blankets would help. Oh, and some umbrellas too.

Only one rule in here. Be sure you snuff out your smoke before you leave the room We don't want to offend our non-smoking bretheren lying in wait for us outside this thread.

This place reeks. And your teeth are yellow.

Haggis · Mar 8, 2007

Welcome, Dave. Here. Have a cigar.

dclary · Mar 8, 2007

Thanks, but I don't have a vagina.

dclary · Mar 8, 2007

Oh, wait. Sorry. Still in TIO "blame clinton for everything" mode.

My bad.

thanks!

(how do you light these? And do I chew the end, or what?)

Why do we always get stuck in back alleys and ill-heated shacks?

What happened to the days when smokers were considered cool and manly (or womanly, depending on the gender)?

People idolized us, revered us for godsakes!

I was hoping that Joe Camel would have turned it all around, but nooooo, they thought it was child enticement.

Of course it was child enticement! Where do you think the next generation of smokers is supposed to come from?

I know. Duh, huh?

Uh, Dave? You're not supposed to put the lit end in your mouth.

It's the tyranny of the majority, Ferret. I'm old enough to remember when smoking was legal everywhere, except near flammable liquids and oxygen tanks. Of course then, smokers outnumbered non-smokers. The "sin taxes" were lower then too.

*cough*

This room was a good idea. All that smoke obscuring your faces is a real bonus. Kinda makes having that big-screen TV a little pointless, though...

Smoke Eater's supposed to be here no later than tomorrow.

By the way, we're going to have to raise the tax per pack by 40-cents in order to pay for the new bike trail down by the Romance Writers forum. We were going to use the money we got in the tobacco settlement . . . but, we sort of spent that on the new football stadium and heated toilets seats for the offices.

Remember, it's for the kids.

If you build a dumpster, they will come.

See the little 12 X 12 shack about 1 mile away from the office building? Yeah, that's the one that looks like its on fire, with smoke coming from all the windows. Come on in and join us. There's about 50 in here so far, standing room only, but we've got room for more!

Oh, Jeeze. Now why did you come in here?

Okay. I'll drag Terri outside. Somebody jump start her inhaler.

Oops. Sorry, Terri. Thought those were your elbows.

I live in Michigan, and our governor, Jennifer Granholm, tracks us down like dogs and makes us pay the taxes anyhow.

*lights up cig* Anyone calls the cops on me for underage smoking again and I'll skin you with my teeth. No, not the erotic way, either.

Foinah · Mar 8, 2007

I can bring the tarp from my smoking spot....I also have a few extra comfy chairs.
Scotch, anyone???

Wow, it smells like my childhood in here.
