CULTURE: This is Your Brain on Drugs

Back when I was young and foolish, my friends and I found various inventive ways to smoke weed: carrots, apples, tin foil, an empty beer can - all fairly common things easily turned into a bowl when we needed one.

Some kids in Texas got a little more creative.

To paraphrase Jeff Spicoli: "That's my skull, man!"

Seriously, though, at what point do you decide to desecrate a fucking grave to make a bong out of a dead guy's skull? And what kind of engineering goes into something like that? And wouldn't the skull be all nasty and goopy and shit?

The mind boggles.

This reminds me of Denis Leary's rant about kids making insane bongs in woodshop or auto class.

ew

Brings new meaning to the term "dead head"

Frickin' MacGyver smokers...

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

Creepy.

the taste from that must've been horrible

I don't know... am I the only person here that thinks those people should never be parents; should never be babysitters; should never be teachers, or scout leaders?

My former roommate made one out of a potato, but a skull? That's pretty odd.

I bet it sounded like a cool idea when they were stoned though.

- Duuuuuuude.. you know what would be soooo heavy? Smoking from a bong made from a human skull duuuuude. Oh mann.... so heavy.. it 's like giving us life right? But we're like smoking it from the head of death man. Far ouuuuuuut.

- Righteous! Like lets like like lets like lets like lets pick up some Friiiiiiiitos, and like hit up the graveyard. Maaaaaaan... this is just like Scooby Doo! *cough cough cough* But not until we're done listening to dark side of the moon, k bro?

if only they had waited a thousand years, they'd be archaeologists.

i think i'll add a checkoff to my drivers license - harvest my organs for transplants and give my skull to some potheads so they don't have to resort to grave robbery.

No- you are not- and yes they no doubt will be...one even may become the President of the United States...

*mental note*: never fall asleep first at one of Wren's parties.

I knew I'd heard this story before. Is with most social innovations, Vermont skull-bonged first.

Wow.

It's horrible enough that these douchebags in Texas had that idea, but to find out that it kid in Vermont had the same idea three years ago makes it somehow seem even worse.

And to think we always felt guilty after stealing tinfoil from the 7-11.

am i the only one who's actually IMPRESSED? i remember using tin cans and safety pins....but a human skull is a pretty impressive bit of engineering!!! (granted the skull's relatives probably didn't like it...I want to hear how that story panned out when the cops had to tell them, "Uh, miss....we've got some pretty creative boys in our town, gifted you might say, uh...")

I really hope that you are, but I would probably be wrong.

I'm a little impressed that they made a skull into a bong, but where they got the skull from is another matter... that's pretty damn gross.

Just one more reason to get cremated.

I'm impressed when someone makes a pipe out of an avocado and a snorkel, or a paper towel tube and some tin foil. Desecration though? Eehhhhh not so much.

That makes for an interesting...um...smoking experience...

+1

I'm there, pending an invite.

^^^ So, MinusFourDegrees, because you were the last commenter on this thread, I'll have you know that I looked to my sidebar and suddenly saw, "NEWS: This is Your Brain Minus Drugs."

I was intrigued.
