More Elevator Antics. →[More:] I got into the elevator to go down for my customary 11am smoke. A guy I recognized from around the building was there and said 'Smoky treat time, huh?' I nodded and said 'Oh yeah,' the elevator stopped and a dude in a rasta skullie carrying a messenger bag got on. In his hand was a big fat joint. The aroma wafting up from it, even unlit, left no doubt it was the real thing. Now that would be a smoky treat.

I think the smell of the weed triggered some synapse in my brain cause I'm getting a little cottonmouthy.

you guys rock.

on that topic my roommate left a decent sized pile of bud lying in his little container on the coffee table when he left for work this AM. It's a testament to my complete lack of interest in the green stuff, and his utter trust in me (or perhaps he's just dead lazy, no that couldn't be it) that he leaves it lying about like that.

Damn, jon, you say "smokey treats" too? My friends and I used that lingo in college in the mid 90s. We thought we were so original.

all of my friends who smoke say "smokey treats", pie. And yeah, I guess that's a hangover from college.

I've actually never used the phrase before. It was the guy in the elevator.

A friend from Cali called them "smokey treats" and he's older than jonmc and Joe Famous. Not the two put together...

GAWD-DAYAM!

In honor of such silly verbiage as "smokey treat", I honor this thread with numerous other silly words, such as the following:

1. Weetabix.
2. Hibiscus.
3. avgolemono.
4. narthex.

and....swoon. Yes, no. 5 is swoon.

Stuff that word in your ganga hickory smoker, you smokey treat enthusiastes!
