The giggles?

[apsinthion]

Anybody ever find that after smoking for a few year's that it get's harder and harder to get those beloved giggles back? I remember one time when I first started smoking (about 4 year's ago) all I'd have to do is drop the remote control for the tv and I'd laugh for ages. :D

Anyone else finding it harder to get the giggles?

[clevemire]

Just take some time off from smokin, dude. After your tolerance goes down, it'll be all good again :)

[apsinthion]

I did for about a year, still no giggles.

Not like the good old day's anyway.:)

[DrGonzo]

you need new friends/new funny things. get a pet penguin, and give him a tophat.

[maryjanemama]

Agreed. I also find that after time off I find everything everyone says a lot more interesting...even if it's not. Someone will say something random or pointless and I'm all, "Are you serious?!! I cannot belieeeeve it!"

[apsinthion]

I can't my pet 4 foot squirrel in army boot's would dump me and run off with the cat.......,..... ...........................................Again. :rolleyes:

Not like the good old day's anyway.:)Hmm works for me...
Sorry to hear that bro. Maybe you just lost your funny bone somwhere along the line :D

[DrGonzo]

Time for a mission to find Asp's funnybone! I'll get the keys

and the Bawls, this's gonna be a LOOOONG mission I think

[apsinthion]

Bawl's!!

I'm not lettiing some hyper Dr rumage around in my anal passage trying to find a bone which probebly isn't there anymore.:D

[apsinthion]

Where do you get bawls nowaday's anyway I havent seen them in age's?

[DrGonzo]

7-11 or Mac's is the only place I know of (other than Thinkgeek, but shipping charges = crazy man's hand in my butt so nothanks)

there's probably other places too...but those are the ones I know of. and they cost like $2.50 each too...

[Hektik]

Yeah i don't get the gigglez like i used to, well maybe everyonce and awhile i will. But usualy people can't tell if i'm high or sober cuz i stay mostly the same.

[apsinthion]

Yeah I do GET the giggles just not as much as I used to.

And Hektik I know what you mean. People used to think I was stoned before I even started smoking lol.:D

[troubledtwo]

hi there, i think it depends on the company your in and your mood.. but after smoking for years now i do still get the fits of giggles in the right company

[apsinthion]

Hmmm, maybe it's the strain I smoke.

What's the best strain for the giggle's? I'd imagine it would be sativa.:)

[DrGonzo]

don't worry about strains. here's what works for me:

get a bunch of your friends together, as many as possible. and get a van or truck if you can. everybody pitches in some weed, some hash, some oil, whatever, and roll a bigass joint. then you seal yourselves in the van, and smoke your brains out. if anybody needs/wants to leave, they leave for good (until the joint is finished and everybody comes out) and they have to be entertaining OUTSIDE the vehicle for the people INSIDE. having a video camera helps too.

[Proof]

Ye i found that but i stoped for 1 week and had a gd smoke yesterday man i was laughin my ass off for ages was good to be giggling again :)!

[Encatuse]

I used to buy bawls at compusa in 12 packs for 16 bucks. Now I have to buy em at a local coffee shop for 2 bucks each. -shrugs-

[GooseBear]

I absolutely spaz laughing when it's me and my boyfriend just sitting on the couch laughing our asses of while staring at each other. Usually I'm laughing sooooo hard I can barely breath and my stomach hurts!
That is the best.....auww it makes me smile just thinking about it!!
Once I was smoking with some people I didn't know to well with my boyfriend and I started to start laughing and all those guys were just chill. I had to go remove myself and go have a laughing fit in the bathroom.
usually these happen when I am really really high and I think the imagination and making yourself think funny stuff helps to
sorta like alcohol I think some of it is just acting and knowing that your in that "mood"

man, after a few years you don't get the giggles anymore. you become immune almost, unless you can get a big bag of bomb weed, you just get normal after a joint and everything is way easier to cope with. :D

[noah0913]

It'll never be as good as the first time you got high.You will spend the rest of your gettin' high days tryin' to get that high. :)

[Encatuse]

I dont think that really applies with weed. I know they say "Chasing the high" for like.. E and Heroin and shit, but does it work that way with weed? Man, the more and more I find myself delving into marijuana culture, the better marijuana I tend to get. My first 3 or 4 highs were with compressed brick shit, so I don't know why I'd wanna chase em. ^.^ They were nice and fun, but I love my highs all equally.. except for the high I am right now. I love him more then the rest. Or something.

Penguins solve all problems :D

[Darkneon420]

Once I laugh I wont stop....kinda like pringales chips...yeah I got the munchies.LOL. :D :confused: ;)

[RESiNATE]

I think that, as you get older, things become more serious.
I know exactly what you mean, though Aps...it kinda makes you wonder what happened to the old you.

My parents said some time ago, that I had seemed to lost my 'inner-child' - in many respects, they are right, but surely that is down to the worries and stresses that we all have to face as we get older?

My sense of humour has changed from that child-like sillyness, into a dry, and often sarcastic one. My veiw of life and the world has changed - and with it, a certain sense of bitterness and suspicion.
I'm not a complete miserable bastard (yet), but I guess that my opportunities for total relaxation have almost vanished - and so, I take the piss out of my predicament (sarcastic wit) as a self-defense mechanism...

Think about those things that made you giggle back along...and what makes you giggle now;
I'm guessing that 'The Chuckle Brothers' would want to make you kick the TV screen in, whereas 'Monty Python' would have you rolling about on the floor...

A child would laugh until tears rolled down their face, at the sight of a clown falling over...whereas, us adults would most likely find the mildest of amusement from the same act.

I miss my inner-child, but do still have the odd moment of 'regression' :rolleyes:
Everyone is right - it has more to do with the company that you're in, than your 'loss' of humour (that includes your own).
Like, earlier today, I was setting up my steering wheel for the PS2 to do a bit of rallying...I found myself fussing about with the most ridiculous of issues (in this case, lining up a support strut for the wheel), that I suddenly caught myself, and burst into hysterical laughter - "What the fuck am I trying to do? Spend an hour lining up a piece of wood!!!" (you had to be there to appreciate the humour element of this lmaoo)

I think it has to do with letting go of your 'reality' and being able to completely relax and be content with yourself....I know it's a rare thing to acheive, but we all need some 'me-time', now and again :)

Like in that poem that I wrote ("What happened to my dreams?") - time changes us, my friend, and it gets harder to remember the simple, care-free life that we enjoyed as children.
Remember that post that Lulu put up, about how things used to be when we were kids?
"Getting a foot of snow was a dream come true.. "
and,
"Laughing so hard that your stomach hurt, Jumping on the bed. Pillow fights, Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles, Being tired from playing... Remember that?"

Those are the things that I miss, and those are the things that used to make us giggle...but they are never truly gone, unless we forget about those times :)

[apsinthion]

You got it Res.:)

I'm not particularly old now but I have noticed my humor changing in as little as 4 year's. When I left school I went on a 2 year drink, drug and party binge (the good old day's:D) and by the end of it I was just totaly board of the whole thing so I more of less lived like a ghost for a year then I tickled by for about a year and a half got stoned for another half a year and here I am now lol.:D I'm not a totaly miserable bastard either I just think that it take's something very differant to make me laugh unlike the old day's. I do remember Lulu's post about her childhood and even though she's about 14 year's older than me I identified with a lot of the thing's she got up to as a child.:)

Also your probebly gonna want to kill me for this but I'm told that I'm in some way related to the chuckle brother's! *Look's for the laudenum*

[RESiNATE]

Related to the Chuckle Brothers! :eek:..NNNNNNNNNNNnnoooooooooooooooooo

lol

I guess that the flip-side to 'awareness' of life, is that we see too much seriousness in most things - I do...but I like to think that my tangential, and often cynical view of it all, helps to counter-act that seriousness :)

Like, I can see the humour in your admission to being related to the Chuckle Brothers...I hope you can too bwhahahahaha ;)

[apsinthion]

And I run a furniture warehouse so I could even do the old "to me. to you" thing lol.:D It's probebly bollocks anyway (please).

Yes I'm a cynical bastard too and I love every minuate of it!:D

I did actually get the giggles earlier when I was told that in my first nativity play I attacked the virgin Mary with Jesus's cot.:D I thought that was great!

[DrGonzo]

lmfao You're gonna go straight to hell, Aps, and I think you know it.


now that that's said, man I wish I coulda seen that! some kid beating up the Virgin Mary with her own child...lol a whole lot

[apsinthion]

And I was dressed as Rudolf although what he was doing at the virgin birth I don't know.:D

[RESiNATE]

Rudolf Heiss?

wtf has he got to do with the immaculate conception?...curiouser and curiouser lol

lol@'to me..to you'..hehehe....you should have "The Plank" running on massive TV screens throughout your warehouse..dunno why, but you should :confused:

I always get the 'walky-backwards' bit, when moving furniture :mad:

[maryjanemama]

And I was dressed as Rudolf although what he was doing at the virgin birth I don't know.:D
lol...there's a good point. If it helps at all, I don't think you or Res have lost any of your humor. :)

[apsinthion]

Trust me Res that's the easier way to go. :)

Yeah that's how I escaped from the scotish prison. After all who would stop Rudolf?

[apsinthion]

lol...there's a good point. If it helps at all, I don't think you or Res have lost any of your humor. :)

Thank's mary! :)

Oooh look another avatar. :p

I think it dependeds on a few things.

1. your frame of mind when you started smoking..guilt,paranoia.
2. what gear ytou smoke as i have had the giggles even now30 odd years later :rolleyes:
