The little guy doesn't seem to be dirty or starving so I doubt it.
We were both a little drunk last night and bumped into this cat on my street, stopped to pet it and tell him how lovely he was, he followed us down the street. When we got to mine I held the door open and he came in.
Gave him a tin of tuna and put some water out for him, also the bottom of an old pet cage with some sawdust in, which he seems to understand is to crap/piss in (yeah yeah, I know he's gonna piss somewhere else).
I guess I'll let him out in a bit. I want to keep him but he must belong to someone.
It's strange lookming at the homeless slang in the back of Down and Out how much of it is still in use today in England. So much prison slang as well that has gone into general use.
Steppenwolf at least has a good message for tired old men, which we will all be one day. Hopefully.
Down and Out is brilliant. Heart of Darkness isn't too bad either.
I think Down and Out is probably the best thing Orwell ever wrote. It's beat before beat existed.
Oh and fuck off with slagging off Steppenwolfe, it's a greatly entertaining book.
If they are small then won't be much of a problem.
Thinking about it, I sometimes start with a little rolling in the middle, but I always end it with going from the roach up to the cherry end. It just makes sense.
Instead if you fuck it up you'll have a bulge on either side of the middle.
Roll right from the roach and you can squeeze/tease the stuff all along it. If it looks or feels wrong, don't be afraid to unroll it and move the stuff in the middle a bit further down the joint to even it up, then roll it back up and do it again. Better a little more time than a fucked up joint.
Nothing wrong with small joints. If I'm alone, I usually just roll a one skin using small rizlas. Weed is crazy strong these days anyway, you don't need a massive carrot like you used to with bushweed.
Don't worry about what papers you use...isn't gonna make more than 0.0001% difference really. As someone else said, you're drawing smoke into your lungs.
Do get a grinder, they save a lot of messing about. I need a new one actually, last one I had got lost somewhere.
Also, if you can afford it then definitely get a vapouriser. Whoever said they couldn't get it to work is probably slightly retarded. They're the best way to smoke, easiest on the lungs, also the purest.
I prefer a good indica. Sativa - the shit that makes people schizophrenic (although it will wreck your shit). Indica - easier mellow high, much more enjoyable.
Everything else you said was right though about not breaking it up till you need it.
My Dad used to be a used car salesman, since I was born. I tell you this, they will have paid a lot fucking less for that car, they are just greedy and think they can sell it for a new car price. Fuck them, especially this "I need to talk to my boss" bullshit. You should be talking to the monkey and not the organ grinder in the first place.
I'll say this, my Dad used to have many a tale of how he'd done a good deal when it came to buying the car off someone, but he never bragged about ripping off someone buying one from him. These guys are going about it all wrong...
Roll the joint inwards, making sure there is as little slack as possible, but also making sure it isn't too tight. If it is too tight, you won't be able to pull on it. If anything is loose, just make sure it's nice and tight near the roach - any looseness after can be packed down as a last resort.
You're almost done! You should now have yourself a joint, although there is one last thing to do.
You need to get something to pack down any looseness, and make sure it won't burn all funny when you light it. Here I'm using a tube of cigarette filters.
After this, twist the end down so the excess paper is cleared up. You'll tear this bit off the end when you go to smoke it.
Make a roach and stick it in the plan, also notice the two folds in the plan so that it forms a kind of "scoop". This will make it steadier and easier to put the stuff in.
Get ya dank
and shred it finely and put in the plan. Some people like to use a grinder for this.
In Europe, many people use a little tobacco as well to help keep the joint burning. I prefer the taste of this too, and it's a little less harsh on the lungs. Most americans will probably not do this though.
Get ready to roll that sucker up. If it's a little fragile, try holding it from the middle to do the end further away from the roach. Most people start at the roach then gradually roll up to the other end, making it tighter as they go.
