I usually snort my coke of the sink.

I'll bet this thread has lots of 'slippery slope' arguemnts.

i remember seeing this thing once, it was really cool.. looked kind of like a bullet, made of glass/plastic, with a little lever in the middle that spun this thing in the middle... well, basically you load the bottom up with the white, spin the lever, and a perfect little bump is waiting at the hole in the top for your nose. anyone know what i'm talking about?

i mean, "i remember a friend telling me about.." not "i remember seeing"..

I remember seeing those things in Aspen during the early 80's. They would turn them upside down, twist a few times then pull the cap off. They would then use it like a nasal inhaler. Looked real easy to use.

/sorry officer.
 
2005-01-16 02:03:13 AM
heh, dude must not realize that you can drink a lot more when coked up. I'm guessing this guy didn't get into business to make money...

Pic of said bullet.

2005-01-16 02:05:00 AM
yea Aesoprock_00, we actually just called it a bullet. Unfortunately my buddy dropped his and it broke. Soooo now I do it off toilet seats. That sounds pretty gross to me. Just stick your bill into the bag and take a big hit.
 
2005-01-16 02:05:39 AM
So it's true... you really can use WD-40 for everything!

Yea, bullets rocked back in my days of addiction.

Man, all I can think of is that if you're drunk and have to shiat, imagine your shock when you sit down on one of those toilet seats and slide off into the floor.

Can't the coke users just grow their pinky fingernail long like in the '70s?

It's 2:00 AM (for you East Coast Farkers). Let's have some fun with this...

Here is a link to WD-40's stock image selection:

What's the best you can do? See... it's a pun! WD-40 usually comes in a ca... shut up, it's late and I'm bored!
 
2005-01-16 02:09:15 AM
Smart guy. If it were me in that position, I would have used the WD-40 first instead of trying that other stuff he mentioned.
 
2005-01-16 02:12:31 AM
If that guy did that in the US some cokehead would probably sue and win.

2005-01-16 02:16:41 AM
I'm sorry, I refuse to do a drug whose use requires me to put nose on a toilet seat.
 
2005-01-16 02:17:25 AM
I'd just install powerful fans in there; they'd serve a dual purpose of ventilation and blowing the coke all over....
 
2005-01-16 02:17:34 AM
I can't imagine doing a line off a public toilet. I've never been that low. Why not just use a key?
 
2005-01-16 02:17:50 AM
But think of the liability from people slipping off the toilet.

You're right. Next time you're going 60 in a 55, flashing lights and sirens are for suckers: get the bazooka.
 
2005-01-16 02:21:36 AM
An even better idea:

This is an excellent example of why one should hang out with strippers. If the seat's greased up, you've always got a pair of tits to lay a line out on. Just make sure to keep the bag away from them, or they'll hoover it up like a tornado.

skbgiants, you may want to run over to the Fark Forum and ask a Mod to remove your picture, else bannination is likely to ensue.

The bar owner claimed there was not a big drugs problem at The Coach House and said the few who were snorting cocaine were now going elsewhere.

Along with all the other former patrons who were pissed off when THEY FOUND THEIR ASSES LUBRICATED WITH WD-40!
 
2005-01-16 02:25:01 AM
HERO tag? Why? Now all the toilets are covered in sticky brown goop, and just for the sake of interfering in other people's business. Tell us how heroic you think the guy is when you return from the bathroom with sticky brown stains all up and down your thighs.

WD-40 is clear... You've never used WD-40 have you?

Rashind:

I have two Chrysler Cordobas, one is bodily in decent shape, the other has no straight body panels, discolored paint, and looks like a heap. It's amazing how people will stay away from you while you're driving when it's obvious that one more dent won't mean a damn thing. People don't cut me off, don't tailgate me, and don't play road-rage-roulette with me, because 4400lbs of steel and iron awaits them and it's obvious that I won't be dodging out of the way.

Oh, and to keep on topic, I wouldn't do any drug that requires me to make contact to a toilet seat with any part of my body that the toilet seat wasn't designed to interface with.

I almost posted the same exact thing, but I decided not too.

Maybe he has, but only on brown surfaces! :'P

Bartender is an asshole.
 
2005-01-16 02:34:57 AM
Gross dude! A toilet seat?

That's why God made keys!


/ummm...not that I would know or anything

I was actually talking about appropriate police response, and how ridiculous a completel loss of rights while engaged in criminal activity is. But I guess your option is fun, too. You know you can still die in accidents, no matter how heavy your car is, right? Your brains are still squishy.
 
2005-01-16 02:37:23 AM
Actually, Rashind I think what JDJoeE was saying makes alot of sense. While I certainly don't condone vigilantism outside of saving a life, I do think that private citizens should have some leeway when it comes to taking preventive measures against criminals. I also think that we should be immune from lawsuits when our measures work against criminals, thus, I would spray WD-40 on my toilet seats if I owned a bar and people were snorting in the restroom, but I would not install a pit of punji sticks in my front yard to deter treaspassers. Do you see the difference?
 
2005-01-16 02:38:13 AM
LOL, this ad just has whole new meaning now..

...ASSES LUBRICATED WITH WD-40!

I'm thinking maybe this guy should just close the bathroom and tell people to go back to using the alley. It's probably where the drains go to anyway.

Subversive: Why?

I think they have some real problems with the lower elements in society over in the UK nowadays. I've been to some pretty shady places in the USA, but none have made me feel as concerned for my own safety as I've felt in several places in the UK.
 
2005-01-16 02:38:29 AM
nor is WD40 sticky
kinda negates the purpose
 
2005-01-16 02:38:53 AM
WD40 is awesome tho....if the cops/rent-a-cops ever stick a "warning" sticker on your window, spray with wd40, wait a min, use a blade to effortlessly remove said sticker!


/or so I've been told

Last I knew Drug paraphanalia was allowed inline, there are no references to the word 'drug' in the FarQ comment guidelines and i never got any shiat for photoshop contest entries using large bongs.

I've never done cocaine...but, my best friend's wife has. She says that although she didn't really like it, she immediately wanted more. Scary.

Anyhoo, there is no way that anything that touched a bar's toilet seat is going into my body.

Nice name.

How can you be sure that there's a huge difference between WD-40 on the toilet seat and the punji stick pit in your yard? The WD-40 might be just as harmful: I don't know of any studies on the effects of snorting WD-40. But if it's causing nosebleeds, you can be sure it's causing tissue damage of some kind.

Not to mention that keeping trespassers off your property is a nobler aim than preventing someone from taking a drug with their own body.
 
2005-01-16 02:41:19 AM
BTW, If I'm not mistaken, the RAVE act applies to venues like bars, so here in the States, he'd have to choose between being sued by folks with nose bleeds, or being arrested by the feds for "allowing" people to coke up in the restrooms.
 
2005-01-16 02:41:41 AM
It is. On my tiny, very dark monitor (it's old, but I'm not at MY desktop), they looked like those cheap vibrators...
 
2005-01-16 02:44:43 AM
uatuba

vibrators aren't allowed? They aren't even shaped like genitals. We can have entire link to visual sex aids, but we can't display battery-operated ones? Oh, wouldn't want the women to find out about vibrators and get all upity. Female orgasm is a myth.
 
2005-01-16 02:47:07 AM
Holy Crap.
A 55 gallon drum. (Fark won't let me insert it as an image, so you have to click...says it's too big and such)
You could just dip the whole toilet in.
 
2005-01-16 02:47:15 AM
Rashind Leaving aside the ethics of drug use (I personally favor legalization), I'm talking about scope here. With the hypothetical punji pit, I can't pick and choose who I'm targeting. It could be a guy trying to steal my lawnmower, or it could be a kid chasing his ball. I've worked with WD-40 several times, and to the best of my knowledge, surface contact on the skin isn't going to hurt anybody, while someone injesting it may have some problems, thus, the only ones affected are those using the john to snort. I see this as a protective measure, in that the owner may face some difficulties for what he's done, but at the same time, it would be alot worse if he gets in trouble from the government (see my post above).
