Uhh, no? Shisha is just tobacco plus molasses and weird resin and stuff, and so flavour is critical. I used to spend hours smoking shisha with my friends. It's a joyfully social yet fully sober experience. It's a lot more than 'just a bong'.
suppose you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. suddenly somebody will say like 'plate' or 'shrimp' or 'plate of shrimp', out of the blue, no explanation.

Everybody knows double apple is tha best shisha flavour. Also, I am envious of Montreal's supposeldy good shisa bars (as Toronto's are more than a bit shit).
After smoking double about every single night, I got really sick of it. I would recommend Mango or Kiwi. Montreux (a little village in Switzerland, lol), not Montreal, never been to Canada ~~

Yeah, when I was still at school, we used to smoke it on our balconies at 2 a.m. Was probably the most fun thing that you managed to get up to during the day.

It's not all that expensive ;\ Well, depends where you get it from. My pipe was brought to me by a friend from Dubai, and you get them dirt cheap there.

Oh sorry, I guess I just misread "montreux" as "montreal". Carry on.

And shisha is dirt cheap (like $10 for a giant vat of it which you could smoke continually for a month, plus about $2 for coals to last you that long). Though, I never paid for it, and the hookah was brought over by a friend of mine from dubai.

King James I of England (James VI of Scotland) wrote a famous polemic titled A Counterblaste to Tobacco in 1604 (published in 1672). In his essay, the king denounced tobacco use as "[a] custome lothsome to the eye, hatefull to the Nose, harmefull to the braine, dangerous to the Lungs, and in the blacke stinking fume thereof, neerest resembling the horrible Stigian smoke of the pit that is bottomelesse."

Wait, aren't you gay as well?

The gay population of DAC must be sorted, labeled, and listed to avoid future confusion.

I find it funny that they jumped all over you for the hookah and shisha useage. We used to do it when I was in college. Enjoyable and relaxing experience. Excellent way to hang out, if you so desire.

I thought everyone knew what a hookah is.

And yes, it does make an excellent bong. Weed just flies when you use one.

I'm not quite sure I have that kind of reputation around here. I assume my reputation consists of personal opinion and mild discomfort.



EDIT:
I'll eventually post a picture here, when I find and upload some pictures on the computer.

As a somewhat interesting observation, I did not know what a "hookah" was, so I checked it up on www.dictionary.com, and one of the synonyms provided was "narghile", which means a shisha pipe in Turkish (I have a few Turkish friends, incidentally, I used to smoke with them as well).

So what's the difference between a shisha pipe and a hookah, or are they the same thing? ;|

A hookah is really big (3 or 4 feet tall?) and frequently more than one pipe will be attached to it, allowing for a multiplayer smoking experience. If that's any different from what a shisha pipe is (never heard the term before).

Haven't you read Alice in Wonderland?

Well, I guess that it isn't much different then. We used to smoke those when I went to Turkey, in Turkish they called them "narghila", but we referred to then as shisha, as we spoke English amongst each other.

Oh yeah, now I remember that narghila is the correct term for shisha (I was lectured on it once). :salute:
