Bloody hell. Was he alright?

After a time, yes.

Last summer, poppers seemed to be the drug of choice for lots of folks I know. In moderation, it's hilarious. In an Evian bottle marked DO NOT DRINK: POPPERS it's possibly a bit much.

Divine's melting face in Pink Flamingos in the scene Divine and her gang are sniffing poppers and watching the singing asshole sums them up.

Not Crap when passed round at the pub, with waffles.

Blimey haven't tried poppers since '92 or so, might have to go for a nostaligic sniff/heart attack.
I remember being at a rave and someone put vicks rub on my back and poppers under my nose. Odd times, but funny.

Quoting from memory here:

"This man has a bad heart; Angina Pectoris. But we have the cure...He cracked an ampule under his nose and took a long snort. I did likewise. My attorney fell back on the car seat and stared up at the sun. "Turn up the music," he screamed. "My heart feels like an alligator! We must have Volume! Clarity! Bass! What's wrong with us? Are we goddamned old ladies?!"

This is not the same chemical. The ampules contain Amyl Nitrate, the bottles you get at adult bookstores, etc, contain Butyl Nitrite.

In high school, a friend took a bunch of zinc tablets then later climaxed under the influence of said poppers. He screamed, pulled out and ejaculated ALL OVER the young lady he was with. Totally slathered her.

Later, while relating the story he laughed, soaking us and himself with nose beer.

20 years later, I can't picture this guy without an explosion of foamy discharge.

Um...hmm. Ok, what's the difference?

I think I was talking about Amyl Nitrite, which is what the thread was ostensibly about.

crap but funny sometimes

I started this because someone left some at my apartment last week and the only time I had ever done them before was in Amsterdam and I was on so many other chemicals that I don't remember what they did at all.

I sniffed them and recorded some music last night, I haven't listened to how it turned out but I remember there was extensive use of both 'robot' and 'goat' on the vocals effects thing.

I'd say they were N/C actually. Weird feeling rush, wahwahawahawah in the ears. I did not notice my pooper open any larger than it usually does when I play guitar.

Drink a minimum of 5 strong European beers and then hit the poppers. The rush sensation is actually the euphoria of realising you're not dying. It's NC.

Not Crap when taken with E.

Crap otherwise.
