College has changed a lot since I was there.

I went to engineering college. We had a hookah which we called Mr. Peanut. I don't know why. The bowl would hold an entire eighth of "shisha." It then went into a valve attached to a 1/2 horse power air pump. All of this was attached to a 5 gallon empty poland spring water bottle. The water bottle was filled half way with water. Above the water were 8 plastic tubes, all grommeted and gasketed where they went through the water bottle of course, each about 20 feet long.

So what you'd do is pack the "shisha" into the bowl, open the valve, and turn on the air pump. The air pump would "smoke" the "shisha" for you, and all of the "flavored smoke" would get trapped in the half-empty section of the 5 gallon bottle. When the shisha was done being smoked by the air pump, the pump would shut off, and we'd close the valve. Everyone with a tube had their thumb over it of course, so that no smoke would escape.

So now you have an entire eighth of "shisha", pre-smoked, and 8 dudes chilling out taking hits off it. It was definitely a one of a kind hookah. In the winter we'd pack it with snow, not water, and damn that was smooth.

Well no, you got 8 guys hitting off it, it took about 20 minutes to clear it.

I haven't smoked anything except cigars / pipe since I was a Sophomore in college. I nearly didn't make it out of school because of that scene, so be forewarned that its easy to get lost in the moment.

I was actually more proud of how the hookah turned out then the amount of joy I got out using it. I guess I've been hotrodding things for as long I can remember. I'll try to dig up the AutoCad of Mr. Peanut. My old computer has long since crapped out though.

i stopped inhaling smoke into my lungs 20 years ago. i can't get past the idea of deliberately subjecting my lungs to something like that. my mother in law had emphysema and was on oxygen 24 hours a day, and let me tell you, it was not fun watching her gasp for air. she recently died of pneumonia.

why would one deliberately do something to their lungs that, over the long run, could permanently damage them? we already have enough bad stuff going into our lungs, why add to it?

if there were some drops that you could put in your eyes that make everything psychedelic for a little while, but they might contribute to serious and uncurable eye problems later in life ... would you use them?
