Power Hitters, that was 1 cool advantage, you could always toss it.
Got me on the "Elevator"
Not into feathers, always preferred the clips God gave me
Rolling Mats??? Thought that was any LP (single/double) that opened up....
Got me on the Mexican pipes too.
I know I'll butcher the spelling but does anyone remember the "Mesamacaum" Pipes (spell checker just threw a hissy). Usually had a face or something carved into the front. They started white but were supposed to age or color somehow and make the carving look real cool. Most I remember had a regular stem. Never cared for them myself. Big, heavy pipes I think.

Well, when I butchered the spelling I really chopped it up eh??? Now if I could just pronounce it correctly. Kudos for correcting me and better yet for getting anything that made sense out of what I tried to spell. I almost expected the computer to lock on me with that one, hehehe....Thanx for the link, good read. Did anyone keep/use one for it enough to age or color???
called the elevator a "riser" when i was a varmint. start low, end up high...that WAS the point, as Barack said.
Variation on 'elevator':
We called 'em 'wall hits'; not for the faint of heart!
Got one, watched some others.
Fortunately, did not last very long on the 'cool at a party' scope.
Back to the wall, squatting.
Slow stand while getting supercharged/shotgunned.
Once standing, while holding the hit, couple dudes would stand and push on wall dude's chest.
Result:
MAJOR rush; crumple to the floor, lights out; body gives up a 'fish-outa-water flop around' while all yer buds are laughing atcha.
Spiccoli-voice 'whoooaaaa' once the lights came back on.
Ahhh, good times, good times.
I marvel/wonder at those 'I'm invincible' adventures.
I should be dead from a few of 'em, but here I sit.
Good times, indeed!!!

I came across a long-forgotten ceramic smoking stone from the 70's that I found; fired it up for nostalgia's sake, but it's chipped up and kinda gnarly lookin, so I thought I'd replace it. The kidz at the various head shops looked at me like I wuz from another planet (no idea what I wuz talkin about). They didn't know anything about power-hitters either. Gawd, what's this generation coming to? (knew sooner or later I'd sound like my old man...LOL)
My older brother was telling me about a metal pipe he had back in the seventies, that had a whippit attachment. So you light your herb, then as you suck in you push a button that releases nitrous into the air stream. Double whammy, said it knocked you on your head!

Anyone remember chamber pipes??? The stem was a bit large and you could unscrew it, stick some weed in it, and "ye ole pipe hash"/black stuff would build up on it after a while. Just another early 70s trick to make that early homegrown better I guess. We could hope.

Wow, you're right, if you had enuff pieces you could make them long as heck. Red, Blue and Yellow sleeves??? All I had was a simple metal one. Stinker to clean, lots of collars and connectors, thank goodness most of them seemed to have standard threads of some sort. The same pipe that I learned not to give a shotgun from a metal bowl on.

I had an out of body experience doing an "elevator". Take an "elevator", cross your arms in front of you on your chest and have someone squeeze you and pick you up from behind. I was floating above houses and I was "going Home" I could see the tops of house and was at treetop level. Then I came to about forty feet away staggering backwords with everyone laughing.
wow! the memories from this thread - unreal
tried to think of something to add, but most things been covered
here's one little thing, remember the homemade pipes back in the day?
and the magic ingredient was the brass screen, unscrew the aerator from the sink and there was the prize
faucet flow wasn't quite the same, but you did what you had to do back then

Ahhhhh.....shotguns. I agree it's a lost art. Great way back in the day when you had a crush on some chick and wanted to get as close as possible but to shy to make a straight foward move so what did one do? give her a shotgun from a joint. If she was interstead she'd put the other end of the joint in her mouth so you were lip locking.

Shotguns are the shit!! me and my buddies still do them.....My one buddy also likes this: He takes a shotgun, and than gets a buddy to wrap there hands around his throught and squeeze, my buddy has passed out for hours at a time doing this, not from a big pot buzz but from lack of oxygen. But he swears by it, pretty f'd up eh...........I thought it was some kinky sex shit at first, but nope.
and yes, I have some f'd up buddies for sure

Ah the memories..... we did shotguns with shotguns. The cold steel barrel would cool the smoke and you could take a monster hit.
Anyone remember the "Jefferson Airplane"?
Lacking a proper roach clip you could pull a paper match (used) half way in two, put your roach in between each side then squeeze the two ends together and hold it there for a hit. They were called Jefferson Airplanes where I came from.

I forgot about the pushing on the chest as you stand against the wall. Did that one time and blacked out.
