When someone says to me,
“Chew on that for a bit,”
the first thing that comes
to mind is a delicious stick
of
Spearmint
Wrigley’s.

First thing that occurs to me is the Doublemint Twins.

Spearmint makes my older brother barf.

You mean chicle, right? The comprehensive approach to gum?

TODD,
I don’t know, I ‘m just reading off the price tag at Lowes.

Makes me want to break into the Teaberry Shuffle.
BTW, where’d the menu bar go for the comments? I’m reduced to plain text.

I can’t condone poems celebrating mastication.

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when someone says “Put that in your pipe and smoke it”?
Comment by McGehee on 6/26 @ 2:50 pm #
For me, it’s the first time I encountered that expression, and instead of a pipe I pictured a stovepipe hat. Abe Lincoln puts (whatever it was) in his hat, puts on his hat, and with a demented expression on his face causes puffs of smoke to come out the top.
Still makes me laugh after all these years. I still don’t know why I thought of a hat.

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when someone says “Put that in your pipe and smoke it�
That I need a fueling box, some bigger injectors, and a four inch exhaust on my diesel?
I’m hooked on Dentyne Ice, myself. Peppermint.

One time when I tried quitting smoking I got a carton of Dentyne Ice and chewed it like for days and and then had a corn chip with salsa and I almost died. The coating stuff had evidently abraided my mouth is why. There is a lesson here about moderation, but I just got some cigarettes and forgot about the whole thing.

I buy the stuff by the case at Sam’s Club; originally for the same reason, although I’m currently in hiatus from quitting smoking. The nicotine patches had me hallucinating about weird stuff like Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House. And then it came true. I still haven’t forgiven myself.

I going to try that new drug this fall. Can’t remember the name, but it just completely failed to work for a friend of mine… with Zyban, I quit for a year. I had my friend ask his doctor if you could take BOTH and he said no, but I may get a second opinion on that. Patches make me itch. And the gum makes cigarettes taste funny.

Chantix.

If you don’t change that to ‘juicyfruit’, I’m issuing a fatwa!

slackjawedlocal –
People were having much difficulty formatting with the earlier comment box. So I removed it for the time being.
Comment by Mark on 6/26 @ 5:08 pm #
Happyfeet, Coincidentally, I just ran into someone the other day who swears by Chantix, she just quit in March, so not much time under her belt, but she was positively bubbly about it.
Comment by Carin on 6/26 @ 6:46 pm #
I imagine beef jerky when someone says “chew on that” – because, you know, you can really chew on it for a long fricken time.
Besides, gum gives me a tummy ache.
Comment by commander0 on 6/26 @ 7:02 pm #
Kevin (same name as me) is spot on. Juicy Fruit? You can’t handle the Juicy Fruit. Faggot.
Comment by B Moe on 6/26 @ 7:12 pm #
I used walking pnuemonia to quit smoking. Can’t really recommend it, though.
Comment by happyfeet on 6/26 @ 9:07 pm #
I’m going to try the Chantix for sure – the cigarettes kicked walking pneumonia’s ass a couple years ago, but it was pretty ugly.
Comment by Sticky B on 6/26 @ 10:16 pm #
The first thing that used to come to my mind was a stick of gum. After reading this blog for several years though, the first thing that comes to my mind is Shannon Elizabeth’s nipples. Thanks Jeff.
Comment by Sean M. on 6/27 @ 12:15 am #
I don’t think you’re actually supposed to chew on Shannon Elizabeth’s nipples, Sticky.

slackjawedyokel: Unusual thing, I believe teaberry = wintergreen. Or, That’s what they’re saying. I want to grow one, but the rule around my place right now seems to be, if it isn’t an illegal drug we’re not allocating any extra space for its growth…
