Renaissance Vaping Thread

[PapawBrett]

I happy even just watching her sell credit cards.

Trust me, she plays a different role in "Peppermint".

Kata,

Like your thread, this one was derived to poke fun at ourselves and have a laugh with fellow old school vape types. (Or so it seemed to this puffer.)

So meanwhile back at the ranch.

Don't you dare call this guy a toodle puffer.

Same here.....honestly I could care less that my vape style is perhaps considered to be tootle puffing, because it's simply a word. it's not like I have to be worried about walking down the street and people calling me this , so not really bothered. I do think it's all in good fun and no one is truly offended, but it would be better if we were given a slightly better term.

He gets a kick out of people underestimating him and then handing them their hat when they least expect it.

That is because he doesn't have much of a choice provided that he wants to get along socially and not be viewed as a "know it all".

I live in an area of PA where there is an accent that is unique to this area... My wife has a bad accent from this area. When we go back West (Montana) to visit, where I am originally from, people look at my wife like she is from Pluto as she indeed talks way different from the Westerners... We also live way out in the woods and my wife has lived on a farm all of her life.... Some of my Family members view her the same way (as a slow hillbilly)... Nothing could be farther from the truth.

I have been out here for over 20 years now and so I imagine that some of the accent here has injected itself into me. I imagine that if I went out West for a visit that I may sound funny. I really don't know if I have acquired the accent or not as I haven't been out West for a long time.

You want accent ? Try rural Carolina ...

Nope, I don't want an accent … But, I can't tell if I am getting one because I don't go far away very often and have nobody to compare myself against..... I know that my Aunt grew up in Montana and moved to Tennessee. After about 35 years of living there she acquired a large Southern accent.... Makes me wonder if I have acquired one from here

Agreed, and given the media's recent propensity to quickly throw out incomplete (and potentially misleading) stories like the one below, vape categories might (unfortunately) be the least of our concerns.

We may as well have what fun we can, while we still can. There would be worst things...

Therefore, I've decided to go right on ahead and have me a tootle-puffin' day.

Screw 'em all (and line 'em up).

 

[DPLongo22]

I don't have any accent.

Kat insists that I do, but she's wrong. I talk just like everyone else around here does, so I don't understand why she's so adamant about it.

Thank goodness the school authorities are using those education tax dollars for "vape detectors". Things must be be really good there to be spending money on these life saving devices.

Record and listen to yourself speaking, that always tells me all I need to know about my lingering accent.

I hate listening to myself... I listen to myself enough (in my mind)…. I suck.

 

[sorrynomore]

My husband is from the Appalachian mountains, (it's also where we live currently) and he has that deep accent.

He also has an IQ of 174.

When we lived in Kansas City people treated him as if he was stupid as a matter of course; they heard the accent and automatically decided he didn't have any brains.

He never cared, he loved playing the dumb blonde bit.. lol. He gets a kick out of people underestimating him and then handing them their hat when they least expect it.

So anyway, one of my co-workers was German, and haughty. One day my husband walked in to pick me up from work and for whatever reason this co-worker decided to have a conversation with my husband about how Celsius is a more accurate method of measuring temperature than Fahrenheit. (Oh we dumb Americans.. lol.. you know the type). So when this co-worker was done with his soliloquy about the evils of Fahrenheit, my husband began telling him if he really wanted accuracy then absolute Kelvin was the only way to go and began a lecture on why it's more accurate, explaining in great detail, then explained why in lieu of Absolute Kelvin, my DH felt that Fahrenheit was the better measure compared to Celsius.

My co-worker walked away from that dumbfounded, with no answer at all and never underestimated my husband again. Totally respectful after that.. lol..

All this to say sometimes, owning the stereotype is just fun.. lol..

My wife was in an automobile accident many years ago and ended up with her left side paralysed,so she's in a wheelchair and a speech impediment along with some short term memory loss other than that she's perfectly fine.When out in public it's weird,ALOT of the people that talk with her seem to have to talk 3 or 4 octaves louder and flail their hands about like she won't understand....It can be funny to see BUT extremely frustraiting to her.There's been a time or two where she's blurted back I'm in a chair NOT DEAF you f....and so on.

Might be cheaper & more useful to utilize brain detectors.
I have a real hard time believing that a vape detector would be sensitive enough to pick up the amount exhaled from a Juul, unless a dozen students were doing it all at once, and making zero effort (blowing thru sleeve, holding it in), to defeat the detector. They're not chucking clouds in there.

Sorry to hear about your wife …. But, that is funny about blurting back at people …. yeah, makes me wonder about some people

yeah for the staff

 

[CMD-Ky]

True. But, gosh, we have to do something. This is what happens when politicians do something, money gets spent but everything is just as it was before (if we are lucky and the situation is not made worse after the something gets done).

I've become so jaded that if we soon learned that the entire school had a gas leak, and ALL the students were taken to the hospital, I'd literally shrug it off.

Just this very week, in fact, KD heard the infamous, "You know those things are worse for you than smoking, right?"

 

[DPLongo22]

@PapawBrett what was that you were saying about again?



Heck with it. Go ahead and call me, "Johnson". I don't even care anymore.

 

[CMD-Ky]

Johnson, I have a friend (shocker, I know) who is an anesthesiologist and he told me the same thing, vape worse that cigarettes. Four years undergrad, four in medical school, four in a Mayo residency, twelve years of education followed by many many years of practice. I ask him if he would prefer to anesthetize a seventy-four year old vaper who has not used tobacco in five years or a seventy-four year who smoked his last cigarette two hours before entering the operating theater. We then went out to ride motorcycles without helmets (not really but I thought that was a kind of clever remark).

I love it. Storytelling can be downright artistic, and grade A+ for you there.

Why, thank you, Johnson, and it is a true one (except the motorcycle stuff), it happened about one month ago.
