1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

As long as the meet won't be during any holiday, I'm pretty flexible.

 

Someone start a thread or pm or something

 

Don't think it's too soon?

I could start one next month...

 

That’s fine



Moab 2020 > age 21

 

I remember when I had my first beer...

 

I don’t need that ticket in my life

 

Oh definitely not; I'm talking about in general lol

Dad had his buddies over, playing poker (he was in the Army, so all soldiers) and I'd watch them as a kid.

Tasted my first beer, Michelob, at age 10 or 11

 

That's an...unfortunately shaped beer bottle lmao

 

He never said how he tasted it

 

Of course as a kid, you didn't see it that way lol I just remember the gold wrap.

That and Marlboro reds...can't believe I smoked those while I was in the corps.

 

Remind me to put a perimeter around my tent...

 

Woof yeah, I used to smoke those too a bit back in my 20s. Though American Spirits were my go to. Glad I quit though, shit got way too expensive and was taking it's toll on me. I remember a friend of mine would buy the filter-less Reds, can't remember what they were called...but man those things fucked up your throat/lungs.

 

Yay. Crusties.

 

An electric fence, and I’m sleeping with a hotshot and pistol

 

Filter-less Reds? Didn't know they existed g'damn.

I remember having to smoke twice as many Miami's just to feel anything while we were in Iraq. Those were shitty cigarettes but it was all we could get unless you had someone mail you some which is funny, because I had my own mom sending me ciggs in care packages

 

She was used to it; dad smoked a pack a day of reds.

Shit he's retired military (24 years), and still smokes reds.

 

My pops was a pack - 2 packs a day smoker from 14 years old until he was about 53. Tried quitting numerous times and never did, until my mom and him split up. Then he just stopped one day and hasn't touched them since (about 8 years ago now)

 

That's crazy but I believe it.

I went cold turkey, but can't pin point exactly when it was. It was definitely after I was out of the military though.

 

Yeah he grew up in rural MO in the 60s and 70s, where smoking was just what you did especially if you were a guy. Its funny how you can try quitting several times and fail but all it really takes is a moment of real clarity where you realize you're truly done with it, and then it becomes possible. Cold turkey is the way to go, I tried the gum and patches and shit but that stuff is just as addictive and often times way more expensive.

 

The gum and patches created an opposite effect; just made you come right back to ciggs because the gum and patches weren't enough.

I remember my old best friend sticking 2-3 on his arms lol

One of the coolest cats I ever met but damn he was something special; he was black, but considered himself white washed. Used to call him coconut and even oreo; he got a damn oreo cookie tattooed weeks later on his bicep and we called him that from there on.

He also had me smoking Black n Milds
