So any of you who have tried the various white snuffs, which one looks most like something illiicit? I really don’t care which one tastes best, as this is strictly for the novelty.
Ozona Snuffy Weiss is the only one I’ve tried, and it’s white and looks rather suspicious. Wilson’s makes a white snuff, and I think Bernard’s does too. Any of the 3 would probably work just fine.
Hahaha I like the cut of your gib, Xander!
What’s a gib? And is the poop deck what i really think it is?
Hi Roam just a little explanation for you. POOP = Development of ancient after-castle (from which soldiers fought before introduction of big guns), from Jane’s Dictionary of Naval Terms. Cut of your Jib JIB = One’s general appearance and demeanour. The jib of a sailing ship is a triangular sail set between the foretopmast head and the jib boom. Some ships had more than one jib sail. Each country had its own style of sail and so the nationality of a sailing ship, and a sailor’s consequent opinion of it, could be determined from the jib. The phrase became used in an idiomatic way during the 19th century. Sir Walter Scott used to it in St. Ronan’s Well, 1824. “If she disliked what the sailor calls the cut of their jib.” There may be an allusion between the triangular shape of noses and jibs in the figurative use of this phrase, but this isn’t authenticated. From http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/cut-of-your-jib.html and no (lol) what you are thinking of are the Heads HEAD or THE HEAD Naval name for latrines - originally sited in the extreme bow - or head – of the ship. The rating responsible for their general cleanliness is the CAPTAIN OF THE HEADS. From www.hmsrichmond.org/dict_r.htm
I LOVE this forum because I’ve learned so much about a lot of topics which is off topic!!! Thanks Bertiemonster (Graham??)
one of the best lines on a t.v. show was on the live action tick series. While the tick is giving a eulogy (by the way the tick is insane), one of the people listening (a guy in a generals uniform) says “I’am beging to like the cut of his gibberish”
snuff weiss is the best coke look alike I think
Try Wilsons White.
@ Roam: what bertiemonster said sans the nautical history is: “I like the cut of your jib (or gib)” is an English expression for "I like the way you think " or “I like how you talk”. No, poop deck has nothing to do with poop. Ask bertiemonster about that or follow his weblink. Its probably from the corruption of another word. Nautical language is quite interesting, but also confusing (and its my own profession) @ oaxaca: thank you for the compliment @ thread hijackers: most of this does not answer my question, LOL @ bob: even though you hijacked me, I am a big Tick fan, so I forgive you. I actually just watched the episode you mention a few days ago. I also thought about it when oaxaca made his post. LOL The Tick has caused me pain from laughing so hard. I love the comic book, the cartoon, and the live action series. Funny as hell, but not for everyone. I was amazed that it even had the short run that it did. Mainstream America looked at it and scratched their collective heads, saying “huh?” then flipped to “American Idol” or some such drivel. So Bob, are you a member of the Mystic Order of Arachnid Vigilance? @ everyone who answered the question: Thank you! 2 votes for Snuffy Weiss and 1 vote for Wilson’s White so far. Anybody else? I probably have a few more days before I’ll need to get the order in.
Bigblue, did you read the title of the thread? This is for a practical joke on someone.
I am reading what you said. I have no interest in cocaine whatsoever. Is it something I will be known for? What does that even mean? I’m not doing this on TV or anything or trying to connect it to snuff in any way. I guess I really don’t follow you.
Who said anything about carrying it around and showing it off? Don’t presume to know the nature of my joke or to which people will be the recipiant(s) or where I intend to use it. I think I am well enough able to use my rational judgement on who is and who is not capable of handling such a joke. Further, at least 4 snuff companies make a white snuff. Why do they do it? Plenty of people must be using it or else they wouldn’t keep making it. The stuff is out there, for whatever reasons. I know you’re trying to help, but this has nothing to do to either promote, or demote snuff. I simply want to engage in a private joke, and need a prop. Since this is a snuff forum, and some of the members have tried these, and they are sold at all most of our sponser shops, I thought I’d ask their opinions.
Unless you’re making a joke on someone, like I am, or making a movie that has people taking cocaine, I don’t know why anyone would want to imitate taking cocaine. I’m guessing some people actually like the stuff, for the menthol, flavor, or whatever reason. Anyway, you don’t have to worry about me, I’m careful about what I do in public. (now watch this quote end up in the out of context page)
I think people snort heroin, and it’s brown. I think. If you do pull this gag, you probably should tell them the truth afterwards, and show them, or they may leave thinking you are a coke-head, which may lead to investigations, phone calls, or people wanting a supplier. Tom
relax, Tom. Everything is under control. Heroin can be brown or white.
I have tried the Bernard Tiger energy snuff as well as the Edelweiss, both were white and were actually pretty decent. However, maybe it was just my shipment, but both were very moist and clumpy so I would NOT recommend these two if you are trying to find a really realistic looking ‘white’ snuff. From what I have seen, the illicit substance you are talking about is a dry, fine white powder right??? Just my 2 cents…have fun on April Fool’s Day!
One more thing, I think ‘drug’ jokes are hilarious! One time my boss was out of town so a couple friends and myself got a bunch of sweet-n-low packets and dumped them on her desk. I then used a normal drinking straw to make it look like I was snorting this huge pile of coke. My friends took a picture of me and when she returned they gave her the picture…we all had a good laugh over that one. The part that made it funny was; first the gigantic pile of fake ‘coke’ and the fact I was using a normal, long straw. Would it have been as funny if I rolled up a dollar bill and pretended to be snorting an average sized line?? Probably not…
@bertiemonster @Xander: Lol,mates,i was making a hint on an episode of The Simpsons: The Simpson Tide,a parody of the Crimson Tide,in which Homer asks these questions to the Captain of the sub. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson\\_Tide Cheers, Karlo
I don’t know about vitamin V but I do know that, when you drink a lot of beer, you produce lots of vitamin P
And I´m totally lost without my Vitamins C and S in the morning
There’s also blue adderall…
Guys I think xander is going to get a cokefan (someone not quite deserving of the derision of being called a cokehead but getting there) to snort some lines of fake coke. zzedo good coke is very clumpy or sometimes scaleish so if he’s pulling a prank on a coke head that would actualy make it funnier (especialy since stuff like that is kind of like the spanish jewel of coke, you know it’s exsisted and one of your friends has a story about it but you’ve never seen it before). If you’re trying to pull a prank like that on a coke head maybe add the slightest touch of yellow food colouring makes for the image of slight impurities which will make the poor sap very excited. Though if you are trying to plant it on someone the consistancy would be really bad if going through custoums if you put it in a bag. Might get the whole ship searched thourghly since it will look like it’s taken from a distriubtion stash so they’d expect a lot more somewhere. If the first is what you’re thinking very funny if it is the second I really recomend not doing as it could blow up pretty big. P.s. I got most of my info about this from a police officer.
I don’t know the exact nature of the practical joke being played here but I do recall one that was played on one of the girls at the children’s home I ended up living in as a teenager that involved the offering of baby powder as if it were cocaine and the victim (a girl who thought she was gorgeous and was a regular know-it-all) straw bit in hand heartily snorting up the Johnson & Johnson’s like she was an old pro (she never blinked an eye…) If the joke involves the actual sniffing of the mystery substance I might opt for something that involves similar to the above, or maybe get some Dholakia White and mix it with one of the aforementioned/suggested ‘look-alike’ herbal snuffs (so that there is at least an authentic-ish sort of ‘zing’ or burn involved)
Guys… If we can’t play a practical joke for fear of loosing our freedom…WE HAVE ALREADY LOST OUR FREEDOM!
I’d suggest the dholakia white, but that’s because it’s the only white snuff I have. However, as mentioned above, it might be difficult to get someone who is a ‘cokefan’ to believe that the dholakia white is actually cocaine. I am not a cocaine user, but I have indulged a fair amount when I was younger and more stupid. As mentioned, good coke is typically a bit clumpy as well as fluffy. It’ll also tend to be kind of ‘fish scale-y’, with a bit of a shine to it in the right light. If you are trying to trick an experienced coke user into snorting white snuff, it will definitely be quite an undertaking. At the very least, the coke-user might dab some on his fingers and taste it/gum it to check the strength of the coke, and find out that there is no numbness, and realize it isn’t cocaine. You still have some time before April Fool’s Day, so if you’re still trying to do this practical joke, you might want to try out some of the different herbal snuff options which might look a bit more like the real coke! Just my $0.02!
@ slybootz: this was from last year. I ended up with Wilsons as it was the easiest to obtain at the time. Joke was fine, but maybe the $2.50 was not worth the 5 minutes of laughs I got. Still have most of that white snuff, as its not really my thing. It might come in handy though, so I keep it around, and there are always more April Fool’s days. Dholakia White is not really white snuff and its not white in color anyway, and would probably kill a cokehead
I’m going to have a laugh when I pass around the snuff box and everyones nose drips red with anatto.
