Is there a word or phrase for this phenomenon? There should be.

― Harold Media (kenan), Thursday, 12 August 2004 03:03 (twenty-one years ago)

this absolutely never happened to me. i can't even work out how it might happen. i spent hours trying to get one to stick to my lip so i could look like andy capp.

― purple patch (electricsound), Thursday, 12 August 2004 03:05 (twenty-one years ago)

incompetence.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 12 August 2004 03:05 (twenty-one years ago)

it's easy to stick but you notice, unless you have reason not to.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 12 August 2004 03:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, sometimes you absently leave it in your mouth for half a minute or so while you fiddle with something else, then resume smoking normally and... ouch! It's quite surprising.

― Harold Media (kenan), Thursday, 12 August 2004 03:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Eh? Did someone put a spot of glue paste on the cig when you weren't looking?

Guess it's just me then. Never mind.

― Harold Media (kenan), Thursday, 12 August 2004 03:12 (twenty-one years ago)

oh man, my cigs always get stuck on my bottom lip and i have to sort of tear them off. it's an awkward moment.

on the other hand, i took take advantage of this phenomenon and start to talk to people with a cigarette dangling out my mouth, like bogart or something.

― |a|m|t|r|s|t| (amateurist), Thursday, 12 August 2004 03:13 (twenty-one years ago)

i could take

― |a|m|t|r|s|t| (amateurist), Thursday, 12 August 2004 03:13 (twenty-one years ago)

bogart or andy capp

― purple patch (electricsound), Thursday, 12 August 2004 03:14 (twenty-one years ago)

i'll split the difference

― |a|m|t|r|s|t| (amateurist), Thursday, 12 August 2004 03:14 (twenty-one years ago)

which was the comic on the kings of comedy that did a hilarious routine about garage mechanics talking incomprehensibly with cigarettes in their mouths?

― |a|m|t|r|s|t| (amateurist), Thursday, 12 August 2004 03:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I've decided what ever phrase is invented to describe this should definitely be in French. Déchirez la lèvre or something. Only, you know, colloquial. (Maybe it should be left to the actual French, come to think of it.)

― Harold Media (kenan), Thursday, 12 August 2004 03:29 (twenty-one years ago)

the french just glue the cigarettes to their lips though

― |a|m|t|r|s|t| (amateurist), Thursday, 12 August 2004 03:29 (twenty-one years ago)

so does andy capp!

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Thursday, 12 August 2004 03:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Déchirez Américain

― Harold Media (kenan), Thursday, 12 August 2004 03:31 (twenty-one years ago)

seriously, the trick is to lick your lips before you stick the cigarette in your mouth.

― |a|m|t|r|s|t| (amateurist), Thursday, 12 August 2004 03:36 (twenty-one years ago)

getting it stuck on your lip, taking a drag, pulling your index and middle fingers down the length of the cig and burning them both on the cherry---C or D?

― nonthings (nonthings), Thursday, 12 August 2004 03:40 (twenty-one years ago)

My friend used to always crack me up by doing this while working on cars.

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 12 August 2004 03:40 (twenty-one years ago)

oh, I've done that, a couple of times, but I had reason to.

v. sore.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 12 August 2004 03:44 (twenty-one years ago)

this used to happen to me all the time when i smoked as my lips are always chapped. all i can say is OUCH

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 12 August 2004 03:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I seem to be getting chapped lips from smoking lately as well. I'm paranoid I'll get lip cancer, which seems somehow hideous.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 12 August 2004 04:00 (twenty-one years ago)

I mean, imagine having no lips!?

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 12 August 2004 04:00 (twenty-one years ago)

i've developed a smoker's cough and my throat is always sore. any quitting advice??

― |a|m|t|r|s|t| (amateurist), Thursday, 12 August 2004 04:02 (twenty-one years ago)

try and try again. it took me about 4 goes to give up for good. haven't had a smoke for about 2.5 years now though.

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 12 August 2004 04:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Tip number one: make peace with the fact that you're going to be a complete dick to everyone around you for a few days.

― Harold Media (kenan), Thursday, 12 August 2004 04:04 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm 5 weeks clean.

― purple patch (electricsound), Thursday, 12 August 2004 04:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Tip number one: make peace with the fact that you're going to be a complete dick to everyone around you for a few days.

i substituted joints for ciggies for a few weeks, i don't think i was a dick so much as permanently and incapacitatingly stoned. i've given that up too though.

and good for you purple patch.

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 12 August 2004 04:06 (twenty-one years ago)

i need some weed

― |a|m|t|r|s|t| (amateurist), Thursday, 12 August 2004 04:07 (twenty-one years ago)

I know several people who tried that tack, and it worked brilliantly for them. I need to ask one of the temps at work where to score pot. I have no connections in this city.

― Harold Media (kenan), Thursday, 12 August 2004 04:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Not because I'm trying to quit smoking, mind you. I just want some pot for a change. I miss college.

― Harold Media (kenan), Thursday, 12 August 2004 04:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh I should so get a commission on you two.

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 12 August 2004 04:14 (twenty-one years ago)

well "that tack" was sort of unintentional for me, i was already a bit of a stoner so i just increased my daily joint intake really. but it did seem to work, i didn't use patches or what have you.

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 12 August 2004 04:14 (twenty-one years ago)

if you find some, let me know 'k?

― |a|m|t|r|s|t| (amateurist), Thursday, 12 August 2004 04:14 (twenty-one years ago)

― |a|m|t|r|s|t| (amateurist), Thursday, 12 August 2004 04:14 (twenty-one years ago)

my problem is that i've been housesitting, and i don't wanna get this place all weed-smelling. i need somewhere with a back porch.

― |a|m|t|r|s|t| (amateurist), Thursday, 12 August 2004 04:15 (twenty-one years ago)

because weed smells worse than cigarette smoke? riiiiight

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 12 August 2004 04:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Weed-smelling isn't so bad, really. Come out pretty easy.

― Harold Media (kenan), Thursday, 12 August 2004 04:16 (twenty-one years ago)

come=comes

― Harold Media (kenan), Thursday, 12 August 2004 04:16 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah it don't linger like cig smoke

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 12 August 2004 04:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Unless you're a mom, of course. Moms can smell the smoke from a single bowl that was smoked 15 years ago.

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 12 August 2004 04:17 (twenty-one years ago)

fortunately my mum couldn't distinguish between pot and incense. she always knew when i'd been smoking cigarettes though.

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 12 August 2004 04:19 (twenty-one years ago)

well i can smoke my cigarettes when i'm out for a walk. weed, i dunno, i'm in the south loop and would be asking for trouble.

― |a|m|t|r|s|t| (amateurist), Thursday, 12 August 2004 04:34 (twenty-one years ago)

This place doesn't have a stoop? A windowsill? I think you're not dedicated enough to the idea of smoking pot.

― Harold Media (kenan), Thursday, 12 August 2004 04:36 (twenty-one years ago)

i know, smoking pot takes rigor and discipline.

― |a|m|t|r|s|t| (amateurist), Thursday, 12 August 2004 04:59 (twenty-one years ago)

You think I'm joking!

― Harold Media (kenan), Thursday, 12 August 2004 05:06 (twenty-one years ago)

You could always try the ol' paper-towel-tube-full-of-dryer-sheets trick. Feels like you're back in a dorm room, but it works.

― Harold Media (kenan), Thursday, 12 August 2004 05:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Not in Cedar Point hotel rooms it doesn't!!

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 12 August 2004 05:09 (twenty-one years ago)

hahaha... the voice of experience.

― Harold Media (kenan), Thursday, 12 August 2004 05:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Why isn't 'classic' an option here? I quite like the feeling of having bits of my lips rip off. I know, it's a bit weird.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 12 August 2004 09:04 (twenty-one years ago)

this happens to me all the time!!

(btw amateurist weed smokes clears so quickly, light up by an open window & there's no way they'll ever know...)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 12 August 2004 12:30 (twenty-one years ago)

I mean, imagine having no lips!?

Courtesy of my nextdoor neighbour's kid

What does a cow with no lips say?

Oooooooo!

― Penelope_111 (Penelope_111), Thursday, 12 August 2004 12:57 (twenty-one years ago)

At'll teach you.

― Rockist_Scientist (rockist_scientist), Thursday, 12 August 2004 12:59 (twenty-one years ago)

lip balm prevents the ripping phenomenon, although it makes the filter slimy.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 12 August 2004 13:40 (twenty-one years ago)

right so s1ocki you can send me some weed media rate from montreal right? just put a big sticker on the package saying there's nothing in it but copies of why customs officers are my favorite people and we'll be all right.

― |a|m|t|r|s|t| (amateurist), Thursday, 12 August 2004 13:49 (twenty-one years ago)

ew slimy filter. sometimes i hold my cigarette in my mouth a while before i light it, if i have to do something else, and the filter gets all soggy. boo. maybe i really should be glueing them to my lower lip.

― |a|m|t|r|s|t| (amateurist), Thursday, 12 August 2004 13:50 (twenty-one years ago)

the worst is when you give your cig to a friend for a drag and they JUICE it

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 12 August 2004 14:44 (twenty-one years ago)

oh dudes i just remembered the WORST worst thing: when the cigarette gets stick to your lips when you're taking a drag and you don't notice it and you try to take the cig out of your mouth but it doesn't move and you get your fingers stuck on the cherry! and burn the shit out of your fingers!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 12 August 2004 14:45 (twenty-one years ago)

that suuuuuuuucks.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 12 August 2004 14:45 (twenty-one years ago)

getting it stuck on your lip, taking a drag, pulling your index and middle fingers down the length of the cig and burning them both on the cherry---C or D?

I've never heard of, this, "cherry".

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 12 August 2004 14:55 (twenty-one years ago)

The thing about a cherry is, if you lose it, you're fucked.

― Harold Media (kenan), Thursday, 12 August 2004 14:57 (twenty-one years ago)

the cherry is the orange flaming bit on the end

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 12 August 2004 15:43 (twenty-one years ago)

well, not exactly flaming. that would be intense.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 12 August 2004 15:45 (twenty-one years ago)

i hate when this happens, so i get paranoid and lick the butt before i light up. it makes it soggy at first, but then it dries up and its ok. better than ripping off my lip.

but i got sick and havent smoked in over a week now. lets see how long i can go for.

― AaronK (AaronK), Thursday, 12 August 2004 15:59 (twenty-one years ago)

This used to happen to me when I rolled my own, but not with pre-rolled cigarettes. Rolling paper sticks more easily to lips.

― Maria D. (Maria D.), Thursday, 12 August 2004 16:11 (twenty-one years ago)

That could be my whole problem. Pre-fab cigarette filters do have a bit of a waxy finish, probably to avoid this very thing.

― Harold Media (kenan), Thursday, 12 August 2004 16:51 (twenty-one years ago)

stuck on the cherrry...lick the butt...what is this thread about again?

― |a|m|t|r|s|t| (amateurist), Thursday, 12 August 2004 17:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Penises - I mean cigarettes.

to put this thread through a filter and into a nutshell shaped ashtray:

one can always take a smoke offa one's mouth but one cannot take one's mouth offa the smoke sometimes

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Thursday, 12 August 2004 17:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Why aren't cigarette ends flaming? It would be much more fun. Come on tobacco scientists!

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 12 August 2004 17:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Smoke is created by inefficient burning. You could have flame, but then you'd have hardly any smoke, and then there'd be nothing to exhale but heat. Seems like it would look cooler, but you couldn't pretend you're Lauren Bacall with a ball of flame.

― Harold Media (kenan), Thursday, 12 August 2004 18:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't want to pretend I'm Lauren Bacall. I want to move smoking on.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 12 August 2004 18:08 (twenty-one years ago)

i want to pretend i'm warren oates.

― |a|m|t|r|s|t| (amateurist), Thursday, 12 August 2004 18:11 (twenty-one years ago)

i want to pretend

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Thursday, 12 August 2004 18:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Maybe if you were David Copperfield you could cooly handle a ball of flame. The rest of us would just be like, AAA! AAA! FIRE! AAAA! NO EYEBROWS! AAAA!

― Harold Media (kenan), Thursday, 12 August 2004 18:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I'M SORRY I SAID FLAMING YOU MANIACS

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 12 August 2004 20:33 (twenty-one years ago)

NOT!!!!

(i'm actually really sorry for that.)

Nobody's blaming you. There there.

can we go home now dad?
