2. Do you remember Whip It's?
They are compressed canisters of Nitrous Oxide, AKA laughing gas, and sold in cooking supply stores (and head shops), originally made to charge whipping cream dispensers.
"I've heard" that if you inhale this gas, you get light headed and giggly!
Ever seen them?

13. Same size, shape, and material, but filled with a different gas, N2O (nitrous oxide)
The canisters are used as a propellant with whipped cream dispensers.
But it's the same gas some dentists use to keep patients in their happy place.
Laughing Gas, as it's often called, can be bought on the street. In New York we used to buy packs of them in head shops, like on 8th street, Times Square (before it became Disney North), and elsewhere. Also, you'd get a dispenser and some balloons and fill a balloon with the gas and pass it around.

Substance abuse. Whoda thunk?
Paint is cheaper, DUmpmonkeys. Go with the gold plan.

I had someone I knew in High School that did a bunch of them with his wife. I was with another friend out one night and he wanted to drop by and see this couple. So we went to their house and they had a least a 1000 or more of the whippit canisters in a large drum in the corner of their den. Their minds were so fried from inhaling those things that just trying to talk to them was painful. This was probably around 1980-81.
My guess is Skippy did a truck load as stupid as he is.

Wow.
Skippy's reached a new depth in stupidity; s-o-o-o-o-o-o proud of ****ing up his brain.

Go full body paint, libs...

I usually think teenagers inhale, but adults? That is really strange.

I've had nitrous oxide a few times at the dentist's office.
With nitrous, plus a megadose of local anesthesia, a root canal can be fun.

My dentist has an ingenious way of limiting nitrous to only non-primitives: he charges $20 extra for it.

The last time I had it, I asked for quote on the cylinder.

H5 for that, as I am facing a major extraction in a few weeks, all due to my own negligence because my lifelong dentist got rid of the nitrous in his office, so I quit going. I'm thinking the combination you just mentioned is going to get me through this.
ETA: yes, lurking DUmmies, I admit to a phobia than makes me seem like a weak DUmmy-fied person, but the difference is, I blame only myself. My stupid phobia and negligence, period.

Lastparker, did you find a new dentist that has it? I once had a painful procedure done, and I put my foot down and demanded the nitrous + local. Otherwise, I was not going to open my mouth. Screw the cost. He agreed, and I got through with flying colors, nothing to it.

Yes! And unlike the last guy (palatial multi-location practice with all the bells & whistles and expensive artwork), he has a modest office and didn't present me with ONLY options that ran in the $9K and up range. THIS, I can work with. It sucks to lose the teeth, but like I said - my own fault. I have to put on my big girl panties and take care of what's left. BTW - I need the nitrous just for the cleanings - that's how bad my fear is.

Maybe you should head to Philadelphia and look up DUmmy PCIntern. :-)

Or head to Maine and let vesta do it. She's as good a dentist as the DUmmy.
