Teenagers would smoke weed. But they're too busy being pumpous little posers like the loser rap idols they have. So many damn gangster wannabes.

Haven't heard of that game before. If I'm not back in an hour, wait for the news report on my black out death...:p

Well, from what I understand, they get a rush out of the risk of death. Kinda stupid though, if you ask me...

these kids would hold their breath, bend over for as long as they could and then stand up straight. Someone would punch them in the stomach and it would knock them out cold. I was watching it one time, this 310lb black kid named Boookie fell face down, crushing the kid who punched him. Frankly, I couldn't see the appeal, but comments like, "Oh man, you were so done!" were frequent. Oxygen deprivation leads to a euphoric like state, but also confusion, irritability and damage to brain cells.

What kids don't realize is too much oxygen causes the same effect, that is, euphoria, a sense of well being, and calm peacefulness. Why do you think oxygen given at scenes of distress is so common among medical personnel? It's because of that very reason, a palliative, calming effect.

I guess it's more dramatic to be choked or to choke one's self.

Remember when huffing was so popular? Or glue sniffing? Those darned kids will do anything to escape the banality of their own existence.

:rolleyes: :rockbrow: :dead:

That reminds me of what Tyler Durden says about the emergency crash procedure books on planes in "Fight Club":

Tyler Durden: "Oxygen gets you high. In a catastrophic emergency, you're taking giant panicked breaths. Suddenly you become euphoric, docile. You accept your fate. It's all right here. Emergency water landing - 600 miles an hour. Blank faces.....calm as Hindu cows."

It is the truth, though.

Someone needs to tell these kids to smoke a bowl and do some other (safer) stupid stuff like we did back in the day...
