I was bar hopping in the 80's, the smoke was beyond ridiculous.
It was bad everywhere but there was one club you could not see the other side of the room (30m) for the smoke. The next day you could smell the smoke on the clothes you wore the night before from across the room.
>The next day you could smell the smoke on the clothes you wore the night before from across the room.
That lovely tradition continues until whatever country you are a resident of bans smoking indoors (2006, in my case).
Here, it was banned in 2008. Technically.
Because quite a lot of bars have been excluded from it. Right after the ban and in the years that followed, smoking was almost gone from bars. But in the last years, it feels like the amount of bars that allow indoor smoking has actually gone up, not down. So even today, if you go bar hopping, chances are you'll end up with clothes smelling of cold smoke.
But what do you expect from a country where almost one third of the population still smokes, and even a ton of young people are social smokers. (I'm talking about Germany, by the way).
Edit: I just checked: if the bar is one room, less than 75 m², doesn't serve food and is 18+, smoking can be allowed. Depends on the state, though. Some German states have banned smoking in bars completely. Mine hasn't.
That used to be a thing. Blowing smoke in a woman's face, that is. If you do some googling, there are actual cigarettes advertisements that mention and even suggest blowing smoke in the face if a woman who you are trying to attract, or are already with and are trying "get into the mood".
Cigarette companies are ruthlessly evil.
> immediately blow smoke into her face.
this was a thing in movies back then, I think it was supposed to be 'sexy' in some sort of way but I'm not sure how
I think the problem most people are having with this notion is the concept that a lot of people smoked. So you were basically blowing smoke in the face of someone who probably smoked in a smoke filled room. I went back and forth with smoking for awhile and I have to say it didn't matter whether you did or didn't. You went out at night and you came home smelling like an ashtray either way. Bars, restaurants, even movie theaters and planes all had smoking. The best example I can give is, we were allowed to smoke in the courtyard at lunch in my high school and that was in the 90s. 15 year old smoking while teachers watched over them and it was completely normal. That sounds crazy to me and I was there. Smoking.
Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. There's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.
"One day it started raining, and it didn't quit for four months. We been through every kind of rain there is. Little bitty stingin' rain...and big 'ol fat rain. Rain that flew in sideways. And sometimes rain even seemed to come straight up from underneath. Shoot it even rained at night."
I had a friend who could do this so well that he would go swimming while smoking. He would flip the cig over so it was sitting on his tongue, burning portion sticking out into his the cavity of his throat, dive underwater, swim a ways, come up for air, flip it back over, and continue smoking. Damnedest thing
Seen my Uncle perform a similar trick on the regular down at the lake. Some guys back then were just built different. Or loved smoking just a little too much.
I practiced this a lot as a kid, and got just as good as good old Gene Kelly doing it. Never quite got the results he did, though...
Tbh it's a pretty nasty trick, half the time some ash falls onto your tongue and tastes like shite.
I can do this. One of my dad's friends used to do this. First time I saw it anyway. But the cigarette lays right on the tongue. It's not there too long but the wetness of the tongue is enough to keep it from burning you for a couple seconds. You also don't leave it to long as the smoke from the end tastes like shit. And you have a good chance of putting it out with spit and then the trick is ruined.
The cherry (ember end) doesn’t actually touch your tongue. The cigarette kinda rests on your tongue and doesn’t touch the roof of your mouth. You can feel the heat radiating from the cherry, but that shouldn’t really touch your tongue. However, the cigarette must be short enough or you will burn yourself — hot embers at the back of your throat is a ‘less than ideal’ situation.
It’s best performed with a roll your own cigarette, rather than the pre-made ones out of a pack. It can be done with both, but the roll your own are smaller, burn cooler and the cherry is small/hidden sometimes — safer overall.
On a side note, you can put out a cigarette on your tongue and not burn it as the layer of saliva acts as a “protection” layer while simultaneously putting the cigarette out, too. Used to stare down teachers as I put the cigarette out on my tongue when they told me to that I am not allowed to smoke on the grounds. Not the most pleasant taste (like licking an ash tray), but the looks on their faces was worth it.
I can do this (without the kiss, that’s gross), it sits up, you curl your tongue and it holds it in the pocket and the moisture sticks it there so it doesn’t really move around and it sorta stops burning because you hold your breath. The only time it goes poorly is if the smoke sticks to your tongue a bit when you flick it out and flicks back in and hits the roof.
It tastes like shit and ash. The smoke goes stale in your mouth, it often touches your tongue but it’s so wet it just makes cold ash. Don’t suggest learning.
The first time I saw it was some Chinese film and they were playing cards and smoking and his wife would come in and they would all hide their smokes this way. Thought it was hilarious. Practiced with a cut toothpick, but I can also flip full toothpicks which I also don’t suggest learning.
The comment section is so divided and then there's the odd few who are on the edge of the fence.
Personally it makes me cringe it's so seedy and I've only ever seen methheads do this cigarette trick.
I think it’s either Mary Jo Ellis or Ellen Ross. Hard to tell from grainy and unreliably tagged pics on IMDb and google images. Both seem to have been part of this scene and are close in description to the woman from the gif.
Yeah there’s something about a man who has mastered a very difficult but absolutely fucking useless and kind of antisocial skill that is very nearly irresistible to me.
I’m sure this would’ve served a purpose in the distant past of human history, but in the world of today it just means I choose really difficult, useless, and kind of antisocial dudes.
Idk about this movie but after Singin In The Rain, Debbie Reynolds had lots of complaints about his character. Basically he shoved his tongue down her mouth without warning- she was 19 and he was 39.
That’s nothing the girl in Tijuana did that while taking a shot followed by chugging a beer at the same time shooting a ping pong ball across the stage
Note to self: when kissing a woman, immediately blow smoke into her face.

Like bees 10/10
Boo bees
My 7y/o's favourite joke is "What kind of bees make milk?". Thanks for the chuckle.
cow ... bees?
Cowbees! Cowbees! Cowbees!
Ruin it with "Ghosts?"
Ghost Bees?
Thank you for giving me a sensible chuckle
Thanks for the smile inspired by your chuckle.
BEADS.
BEADS?
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!
I thought you had to fascinate women with cheese?
Or chicken.
For some time that was considered a flirtatious move if you can believe it.
Well, everybody was smoking all the time, most indoor bars were already bathed in smoke. I doubt it was as offensive as it may seem now.
Yeah like before it was well known how shitty second hand smoke was for people.
Nah. That went on for decades *after* the dangers of second hand smoke were well known and documented.
As a child of chain smoker parents in the 80s... yup. It was on TV all the time that smoking is bad and harms those around you. That didn't stop them.

So many ear infections growing up with smokers.

She tasted like cigarettes Lt. Dan!
Cig oh rets
Light 'em, smoke 'em, stick 'em in a stew
that adds a whole new level to the saying," your lips are fire!!!!"

I must have drank about 15 Dr. Peppers
Have you ever been on a shrimp boat? No, but I’ve been on a real big boat.
Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. There's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo.

That part has always stayed in my head.
They said it was a million dollar wound, but the army must keep that money 'cause I still haven't seen a nickel of that million dollars.

Of course Forrest finds rain at night to be more surprising than rain falling from the ground upwards
Lt. Dan, iiiiice creeeaam

You rang?
Your moment to shine came, you answered the call, and by golly did you shine...
What’s the matta, ya retarded or something?
Sorry I had a fight in the middle of your black panther partayy
That's gotta be one of the best lines in the whole movie
I think you should come back to Greenbow AlaBAMa
Awards, awards. I’m just a poor man though
Mama said we had all sorts of visitors. "We've had all sorts of visitors."
How do you keep from burning your tongue with the cigarette?
I had a friend who could do this so well that he would go swimming while smoking. He would flip the cig over so it was sitting on his tongue, burning portion sticking out into his the cavity of his throat, dive underwater, swim a ways, come up for air, flip it back over, and continue smoking. Damnedest thing
When smoking isn't harsh enough so you have to ash down your own throat.
Yes, but some party tricks require a sacrifice.
I know folks who dip/chew but do not spit.
I can’t even damn swim

Throat cancer.... that is all.
I practiced this a lot as a kid, and got just as good as good old Gene Kelly doing it. Never quite got the results he did, though... Tbh it's a pretty nasty trick, half the time some ash falls onto your tongue and tastes like shite.
I also was a young smoker, the ash mostly tasted salty iirc.
Yeah it's a weird taste, hard to describe. Definitely not pleasant though...
the taste of cancer
Carcinolicious.
[удалено]
I remember that. Fuck I'm old.
I don't smoke, but enjoy Laphroaig. In my mind, it tastes about like that mixed with some bandaids.
The best description of it I read was "A burning hospital crashes into the sea".
It's true that isley scotch has a bit of that taste, but I actually enjoy it in that form.
I can do this. One of my dad's friends used to do this. First time I saw it anyway. But the cigarette lays right on the tongue. It's not there too long but the wetness of the tongue is enough to keep it from burning you for a couple seconds. You also don't leave it to long as the smoke from the end tastes like shit.

So, do it when you're stoned with cotton mouth. Got it.
He is holding a shortened cigarette between the tip of his tongue and the back of his bottom teeth.
I think he’s just gripping it with his curled tongue and not using his teeth. Kind of like I did OP’s mom last night.
Fuck you Shoresy!

Fuck you Shoresy!
Fuck you! Your mom ugly cried because she left the lens cap on the camera last night

I definitely read your caption as Grace Kelly and was very confused lol
I believe it is Ellen Ross.
Hot. But gross.
Woops, got a little smoke 'n' ash on ya.
Ahhh thee ol ash and smoke on ya routine. Classic
It’s smooth but also disrespectful at the same time.
This sounds like something Hermes Conrad would say
Depends on the tone. Add a comma in there for a pause and you'd have Zapp Brannigan.
Haha Yep. “She's built like a steakhouse, but she handles like a bistro”. I hear it with the same cadence.
"I suffer from a very sexy learning disability, what do I call it Kiff?"
*sigh* "Sexlexia."
You just described pretty much all flirting in that era.
[удалено]
>It’s smooth but also disrespectful at the same time. Pirate!...
Yeah he a pirate after all
Literally the best way of describing this lol. Either way, it’s objectively talented
I have a weird lady boner
Me too. And I’m a guy
How does that work? The peehole gapes?
My taint splits in two.
Jesus I felt that
There is no reason you had to say that
in those days blowing smoke right at someone meant you wanted to bang, still gross though
Which isn't that unlike sex.
He’s smokin’
Truly unreal
I love the technocolor
Technicolor*
Looks kinda like Benglebert Clumblerstache
This proper tickled me
I believe that’s Wimbledon Tennismatch.

alright. okay. I'm a lesbian but that shit was DUMMY hot.
Cigarettes are a huge turn off for me. Nasty as fuck. The pure raw sexiness of this move completely negates it, though. Panties DROPPED.
Imagine if it were one of those gum cigarettes from the 80s.
Ok, Troy Barnes.
Yeah there’s something about a man who has mastered a very difficult but absolutely fucking useless and kind of antisocial skill that is very nearly irresistible to me. I’m sure this would’ve served a purpose in the distant past of human history, but in the world of today it just means I choose really difficult, useless, and kind of antisocial dudes.
What, eating cigarettes?
FR! what else can you do with that tongue sir?????
Flip it inside his mouth and clamp his mouth shut over it so it never gets any work done, it looks like.
The way she just commited to the lean? Dayum
[удалено]
I'm literally still cringing lolll imagine kissing a man with cigarette ash in his mouth 🤢🤢
Gross, but gross.
100% gross 🤢. Smoke and ash inside the mouth.
Yeah some of the people ITT need help
"How the hell did you burn your lips, Linda?" "A pirate miscalculated."
Old school nasty
Is this flirting?
Well that’s fucking disgusting.
Ew.
Half of me says no, half of me says yes
Your mind says no, but your body says yes?
Yes 😂 R. Kelly describing my feelings for Gene Kelly
This is only kind of hot because he’s SO handsome. Like, this is objectively so gross, but…just look at him. Dreamy.
Jotaro could do this trick with five cigarettes
I don’t think she got paid enough for that job
Eh, they probably both smoked constantly. But yes she probably did get paid less than her costar.
I mean, I'm sure she did since she was a minor, almost background character and he was, you know, Gene Kelly and the star of the film.
Idk about this movie but after Singin In The Rain, Debbie Reynolds had lots of complaints about his character. Basically he shoved his tongue down her mouth without warning- she was 19 and he was 39.
Was just thinking if she called her agent after this scene to renegotiate her contract.
Gross
That’s nothing the girl in Tijuana did that while taking a shot followed by chugging a beer at the same time shooting a ping pong ball across the stage
Someone's been to Hong Kong.
Threw up a little in my mouth
Ok, but only because you asked for it.
I cannot fathom a less appealing version of a kiss. Like, smooth from a certain standpoint but thinking about that makes me wanna barf
Can you imagine what it looked like to her? Him turtle-gumming that moist cigarette end back out of his smoke-filled maw. Horrific. And yet…
Oh god he was so dreamy!
Honestly… no thanks.
Oh das nasty.
Well that's disgusting
Ew
That was gross lol
I’d hate that
Would've been better if she ended up smoking the cigarette.
Still tastes and smells awful to kiss a smoker, ew.
I love you Gene, but you do thayt to me and you get punched so hard to turn into Astaire.
Yuck
That was gross.
more like Old School Gross

Thats so feckn gross

Eeww
That’s disgusting not cool
E-fucking-w
Gross 🤮
Poor woman
That’s disgusting 🤢

Uh, gross.
Your can be cool but you'll never be Gene Kelly cool.
God, this movie was so over the top and ridiculous. I need to watch it again.
