This is a question Overheard secrets

When I was a barman, I stood by polishing a glass as a couple had a hushed argument two feet away about what they were going to do now she was pregnant. The bloke promised to leave his wife, but subsequent hushed arguments revealed that he did not. What have you overheard?

When I was a poverty struck student ...
I had neither the ways nor the means to procure MASSIVE DRUGS. So I had to make do with Minor ones. Specifically homegrown weed and the occassional nitrous oxide. For the uninitiated, nitrous oxide is used in mighty gas pellet powered cannisters, the official purpose of which was whipping cream. It was freely available in supermarkets, but required discretion since the shop lady just might know your Mum.

And suspiciously baritone voiced conversations between teenagers about heading off to our night time cake decorating course didn't fool anyone.

So back to the overheard secret. My first blow cheeked snort of Nitrous created a lovely wobbly tunnel above my head down which I heard odd snippets of disembodied conversation. Each subsequent Nitrous session would yield a few more seconds of the SAME unseen wobbly edged conversation as if overheard from the bottom of a well.

And then one night, as I sat in a living room with a group of pals watching the MTV awards, the Conversation started to happen around me. I sat paralysed with terror as, for a grand total of 20 seconds, I predicted the conversation and laughs of my friends now happening in real time.

This utterly surreal scene was presided over by an exceptionally stoned Patrick Stewart accepting an honorary award for Godzilla.

At that moment, a 17 year old Que? decided she was never touching anything stronger than whisky.

spooky
when ever I do Nitrous I always get auditory hallucinations. But they usually sound like a loop of sound being repeated like a stuck CD never spooky time travel. I don't do MD's anymore but when the balloons come out so I always indulge because it's a 20 second reminder of why I stopped taking acid ;)

I find this very interesting
My girlfriend once joined in when a few of us were inhaling. Shortly after her turn she scurried off to my room for a lie down. When I popped in to see her a few minutes later she was more than a bit freaked out, claiming that after she'd inhaled she knew exactly what several people in the room were about to say a good 30 seconds before they said it, and her predictions were spot on right down to the word. Weird.

You can pop a bulb into the canister, remove it without releasing the gas, pop in another bulb: repeat etc. Heh... so I am told.

Beginners: dont buy the wrong bulbs! Cant see that working well.
