Lite a cigarette, that always makes it show up.

First!
Oh…and shouldn’t it be LIGHT instead of Lite?
Just wondering
Yes. Yes, it should. Which leaves me conflicted — the concept is funny, but the egregious spelling error is killing me.
It may well be that Lite is entirely appropriate – they’re fit-looking gentlemen who clearly cherish their well-being. Would they smoke full-blooded Marlboros or Gudangs? They may indeed smoke Lites. But somehow I doubt it.
It’s funny all the way. Even a spelling fail can come out a win. WIN, I say!
(PS Click and let the intro play for a rare company overview…)
Yeah, overall I’ll say WIN, too, even with the error.
Actually American cigarettes are rather weak.
I’m sorry to disagree, but I didn’t get this voice by smoking Silk Cut or Mild Sevens. Camels, Luckys, Chesterfields (sadly, no longer available), then Marlboros… Possibly weak, but only in comparison to Russian tar-monsters and Indonesian clove-and-sugar Gudangs…
Except the type of cigarette you’re referring to is still spelled Light not lite. As in Marlboro Lights. We’re not talking about mayonnaise here.
You smoke mayonnaise? Man, that must REALLY clog the arteries.
It’s hard to keep lit, but the buzz is worth the extra effort.
Easy enough to load into a bong, but if you draw in really hard, it just makes a milkshake/straw noise – plus it makes the water look very very horrible.
And don’t even try to snort it…
<__>
o_o
I don’t get it…
Bus stop…
Spoken like someone who’s never smoked and ridden a bus. Suffice it to say, it’s a well known fact: lighting a cigarette makes the bus come sooner. Just like pushing the elevator button a bunch of times makes it come sooner.
…in bed…
with ice cream
No ginger?
no, but with a preternaturally long tongue…
… for pushing elevator buttons…
Ew. Think of all the germs.
If you’re pushing the right button it gets a lift…
You left out boobies.
And ‘with a penis’.
Wha… for pushing elevator buttons? Cut n’ paste Jocasta’s comment right here!
*cues Aerosmith*
Im never going to think of that song the same way…
Yes, pushing the button a bunch of times does work that way in bed, too.
Speak for yourself!
Okay, I will.
I think he *is* speaking for himself, and his mad button pushing skills.
I hope so anyway. Would totally ruin my mental image of Seth otherwise.
One of the reasons that ‘geeks’ are supposed to be good in bed: all of that video-game playing creates good manual dexterity!
Hand eye coordination for the win.
Bunches of win!
That it certainly is…
I’ve never smoked and I got the joke…
Same here Unc.
Same. I did however ride buses all of my childhood and teenagerhood (and youngadulthood… anyway).
Or, back when you used to be able to smoke in eating establishments, lighting a cigarette would make your order come to the table almost instantly. (Somewhat OT: I do think it’s just as well we can’t smoke in restaurants anymore, as smoke and food don’t really go all that well together, even for many smokers! Bars, on the other hand, should be a haven for all types of vices.)
Our pubs, nightclubs and bars have been smoke-free for quite a while now. Initially it was met with a LOT of grumpiness, but it seems to be holding. It forced a lot of clubs to renovate to have large outdoor-type smoking areas. Nightclubs, however, really need smoke. I never realized how much BO comes up from five hundred sweaty dancing bodies.
*Sigh* Been off the cigarettes for about five months. Lord, I miss ‘em.
*hugs* Stick with it…I can’t tell you how many times I’ve quit for months (and on one occasion, several years!) and then it sneaks up on you and the next thing you know…they’ve got you again. *sigh*
I’ve got a few people around who’ve quit, but they had all got to a stage where they loathed the stuff anyway. Dammit, I love it! Ahh well…
Don’t smoke, got the joke! And OhMy Goodness don’t go back! Good luck!
(((((((((((HUGS!))))))))))
A former co-worker of mine suggested that I deal with post-quit cravings by carrying a small package of whole cloves in my purse, and to hold one in my mouth (without chewing) whenever I was dying for a cigarette (pun not intended). I tried it and it actually helped.
Clove cigarette smoker, were you? Tom’s of Maine has a toothpaste flavored with cinnamon and clove as well.
Adam’s Clove Chewing Gum used to be in wide distribution,
but is hard to find these days. [Click my name] for a neat
“vintage” candy store. If nothing else, it’s a “sweet” trip down
Memory Lane.
When I still smoked, my brand was Camels, but something about the oil in the clove duplicated the slight burning sensation similar to that of inhaling.
OMG OhMy, don’t quit quitin now man, you’ve done the hard bit, I’m into month eight and it’s slowly gettin easier.
Hang tuff buddy
Guys, thanks for the encouragement… it’s one of the very few things I get genuinely riled about, basically because (between raging headaches, unbelievable grumpiness and a gain of over 10 kilo) thinking about it just reminds me all the more. I have to stop myself from lashing out at reminders and encouragement, and take ‘em as said.
So… seriously, thanks.
Drink a LOT of water (which is probably a good idea anyway) and try to get some mild exercise (which will be much easier now that you have enough wind to do so without gasping for air) . The increased blood flow will help you de-stress and relieve the headaches somewhat and maybe help with weight management. Also, if you have a small hand-held toy (oh, stop snickering, you guys!), keep it where you used to keep your ciggies, to give your hand something to do (I said STOP snickering! God, you guys have dirty minds!).
Sounds like good advice – I ended up with some nicotine gum, took about a month of dreadful heartburn and hiccup, and tasted like it was flavoured with dirt.
I finally quit for good using the patch and Commit
Lozenges. The gum is truly awful. I still miss
smoking, years later. But of course one has to quit,
dammit. Good luck to you.
Oh, and I went to Nicotine Anonymous. The
community and spiritual aspect helped a lot.
Yeah, I didn’t get it at first either, but I live in the suburbs of Kansas City, and there is no bus system here. None. But before the smoking ban, I totally had this happen every time. I agree that smoke and food don’t mix well, but I do miss (especially now, in the winter), finishing my meal and not having to go outside, not even having to leave my seat to have a smoke.
I’m still mad about bars as well though. Beer and cigarrettes just go together.
I’m personally glad of the rule change, but i have a very bad reaction to cigarette smoke. I used to get dizzy and it felt like my head filled with cotton. However since moving to Montana the lack of smog has tanked my tolerance for it and now it makes me incredibly ill. Our bars are smoker free here, except for the ones that double as small casinos. I feel a bit bad for smokers, but it’s nice to know that I can go to a bar without there being smoke (it’s where most of the bands play and other such social things)
Me too. I’m sorry about the inconvenience for the smokers, but second-hand cigarette smoke and asthma don’t mix. I like live music, and had given it up until the cities in the Boston area started putting smoking bans in place. Just think–no smoking means that non-smokers don’t have to dryclean their coats after a night out!
The most annoying thing is when i get a heavy smoker sitting near me in class, when the place is already packed, so i can’t exactly move and end up feeling weird the whole lesson. oh well.
I have the same problems being around people who use too much perfume or cologne. I worked with a lady for a little while that was so bad I frequently had to use my inhaler after running the register next to her.
At least it isn’t BO. There is a supervisor working in our plant who reeks…..and my office reeks after he leaves. I do all I can to get him out of there before it’s a lost cause.
Could always just spray him.
Eh, bad analogy. The cigarette/bus thing is more like “damn! everytime I light a cig, the bus shows up!” and they have to put it out/waste it. So the person is jokingly saying to light one because bad luck will cause the bus to arrive then.
The elevator thing is just a useless button. Good try though.
I love using Murphy’s Law. Whenever our friends are late, I jokingly tell Lynn we should have sex.
“Jokingly,” hmm?
>_>
What? You don’t believe that I would engage in sex just to get caught by friends who would be damaged by the image, do you? I’m a nice guy, remember?
<_<
Sure…nice…
You’d save that for after they left, right?

Kidding, kidding.
I swear this phenomenon to be true. Golden Gate Transit bears it out every time I use it (which is as infrequently as humanly possible).
Because I am feeling lazy and not answering a bunch of threads with small questions, I will condense my answers into one post.
Don’t smoke but got the joke and even found it funny. Yes pushing buttons in bed can be awesome, to watch at the very least. I adhor smoke which is why I avoid bars, nightclubs, stripclubs, whatever. Even now that a wad of them stopped allowing it there, the smoke on the outside of the building from all the desperate nicfiends still ruins any appeal for me. Then again, I was never one for strip bars.
And by all means, stay in the I quit stage. It means we can have you around longer.
If I missed anybody, I apologize.
In bed…
Some of us, we don’t *want* to have around longer…
Which is a bummer for you but can’t be helped.
Only this time Sufa could come sooner than bus. (: Go IDF!
Let me see… there’s the bait… there’s some line… just around the corner is a collection of troll-toes poking out of the brickwork…
I promised that I’d be good and do no murder, so I’ll just flag this troll for someone else with an Eddie P (Memorial Edition) troll-stick to whale away.
Troll must be very curious as to the flag sticking out of its back.
Well-placed, DWN*
*Admires the image of dove armed with an Eddie P (Resurrection Edition) troll-stick, before furling flag for next usage*
That just goes to show you kiddies, Smoking makes everything better. I heard it can even cure cancer.
Eventually. It cured the cancer in almost everyone on my father’s side (although, in fairness, it was probably the crematorium that really cured them there cancers…)
Ugh!
So True!
