Chasing The Magic Dragon

This post about smoking tickled me pink because before her surgery, Littlemissdrinkalot was also known as Puff the Magic Dragon for her nicotine-based activities. We would mooch around and she would try to pimp a deathstick or two to me so that she could have company whilst she ruined her lungs.

We even came up with names for the pictures on the ciggie packs that were supposed to dissuade you from smoking by horrifying your senses - yeah right.


“Raspberry Surprise Cake” and “Baby Mandrake


“The Abyss”, “The Sad Prince” and “Dracula Senior”

Nevertheless (is that how you spell it? I rarely use words like this because it’s so Lovecraftian) we do think that smoking is a filthy habit. Men who were not breastfed as children feel the need to suck on a stick. I shall refrain from speculating why Littlemissdrinkalot women need to smoke though. It’s just not done in polite society (explaining, not smoking).

aneki: yes they are on each pack of cig.

I dun mind you saying thats me. I am okay with it, but before you do anything more, I want to tell you that my mother doesn’t smoke. And by saying that I am that baby, you are saying that my mother smokes. That I have to disagree.

Anyway, I was really born malnutritious and really small.

by the way, you forgotten the “family pack”, where the family members worried in the background, thinking where they are going to get the money for their dad who is smoking heavily in the foreground.

For hardcore smokers, they don’t really bother about these pictures. They just… Puff…

I am against smoking too. Addicted smokers don’t really care about anything as long as they get to smoke. Below are comments from the people when smoking in public was about to be banned in the UK…

“Chasing the magic dragon” isn’t exactly the right term to use for smoking. It’s for more hardcore drugs like opium. Smoking is legal, ok?

In any case, smoking is just a bad lifestyle habit, it ain’t exactly because the men didn’t get breastfed and the women aren’t getting enough, erm, manhood… But good speculation though. *haha*

Have you seen the extended edition of The Return of the King? “Dracula Senior” should be renamed “The Mouth of Sauron”.
