It's like someone's dad tried to think the best way to convey a message to the youths, and came up with this.


BorrowedSolution - 2014-04-17

And ever since then, I've been The Champ.

I like how he spends the whole video doing the I've Got to Pee dance.

So wait, he's upset that you can't actually get high from smoking bed bugs? I guess I should've expected that from a guy like this.


EvilHomer - 2014-04-17

It's not a hoax. I know some kids who were smoking bed bugs in the closet and I saw the bed bugs and then the bed bugs looked at me.


infinite zest - 2014-04-17

The bed bugs looked at you?


EvilHomer - 2014-04-17

Sarah, get me Local News Producer Chalmers!


Old_Zircon - 2014-04-17

I went to school with a guy whose brother's friend died from smoking bedbugs.

Separate from this foolishness: a question for the POETV hive mind:

Is there an insect that produces a euphoriant/hallucinogen?

A surprising number of fauna do so, outside the usual flora suspects. Consider the bufo marinus toad, whose venom contains DMT. Or that infamous Asp of Cleopatra's.

Given the number of insects that produce venom, surely one of them must have some psychic effects outside of just plain toxicity. But I can't think of a one.


BorrowedSolution - 2014-04-17

Earmites.


ashtar. - 2014-04-17

Here, BS *****

Follow up question, where did the earmites thing begin? I've been scouring early poeTV animal videos looking for a flame war about them (all our memes start as dumb fights) but no dice so far.


oddeye - 2014-04-17

In the ear.

Serious answer: There was a video with some animals that may have had some ear mites and someone said "ear mites" in the comments. Everyone loled and now it is the undisputed funniest comment to post on any video, ever.


Oscar Wildcat - 2014-04-17

They might explain why the guy in the clip keeps hopping around like that and grimacing.


Oscar Wildcat - 2014-04-17

But here is something.

The purpose of this note is to draw attention to a long forgotten observa-
tion which points to the existence of a new hallucinogen, unique in that its
source is an insect.
Augustin de Saint-Hilaire (1779-1853) travelled extensively in eastern
Brazil between 1816 and 1823 and after his return to France published
valuable observations on the geography, ethnology and natural history of the
country. In two of his unpublished works Saint-Hilaire (1824, republished
Jenkins, 1946, p. 49; 1830, pp. 432-433) described the use of an insect as
food and medicine by the Malalis, natives in the Brazilian province of Minas
Gerais.
The relevant passage (1824) (translated) is as follows:

When I was among the Malalis, in the province of Mines, they spoke much of a grub
which they regarded as a delicious food, and which is called bicho de tacuara (bamboo-
worm), because it is found in the stems of bamboos, but only when these bear flowers.
Some Portugese who have lived among the Indians value these worms no less than the
natives themselves; they melt them on the fire, forming them into an oily mass, and
so preserve them for use in the preparation of food. The Malalis consider the head of
the bicho de tacuara as a dangerous poison; but all agree in saying that this creature,
dried and reduced to powder constitutes a powerful vulnerary (for the healing of
wounds). If one is to believe these Indians and the Portugese themselves it is not only
for this use that the former preserve the bicho de tacuara . When strong emotion makes
them sleepless, they swallow, they say, one of these worms dried, without the head
but with the intestinal tube; and then they fall into a kind of ecstatic sleep, which often
lasts more than a day, and similar to that experienced by the Orientals when they take
opium in excess. They tell, on awakening, of marvellous dreams; they saw splendid
forests, they ate delicious fruits, they killed without difficulty the most choice game;
but these Malalis add that they take care to indulge only rarely in this debilitating
kind of pleasure. I saw them only with the bicho de tacuara dried and without heads;
but during a botanical trip that I made to Saint-Francois with my Botocudo, this
young man found a great many of these grubs in flowering bamboos, and set about
eating them in my presence. He broke open the creature and carefully removed the
head and intestinal tube, and sucked out the soft whitish substance which re-
mained in the skin. In spite of my repugnance, I followed the example of the young
savage, and found, in this strange food, an extremely agreeable flavour which recalled
that of the most delicate cream.
If then, as I can hardly doubt, the account of the Malalis is true, the narcotic
property of the bicho de tacuara resides solely in the intestinal tube, since the sur-
rounding fat produces no ill effect. Be that as it may, I submitted to M. Latreille the
description of the animal I had made, and this learned entomologist recognised
it as a caterpillar probably belonging to the genus 'Cossus' or to the genus 'Hepiale'.

There is the genesis. You're welcome


BorrowedSolution - 2014-04-17

Ehhh, it's no pencil buffers, but earmites has its place.


oddeye - 2014-04-17

Pencil Buffers? You some kind of fucking noob or something? GTFO.


Old_Zircon - 2014-04-17

Bufo Marinus doesn't contain DMT, it contains bufotenine (the active ingredient in toads).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bufotenin


Old_Zircon - 2014-04-17

Ok, I kind of take that back, I didn't realize Bufotenin was a form of DMT (just not the same as the type that's commonly called "DMT").

The more you know!


EvilHomer - 2014-04-18

While we're on the subject of memes, does anyone remember where Roachbud first came out of the closet as a bouncer? Was it here or was it on Poe-News?


BorrowedSolution - 2014-04-18

Speaking of memes; shut up, suck my dick, fuck you and...
Shut up.


oddeye - 2014-04-18

I spent a little time on this, trawling through his previous comments and such so you owe me some sort of credit/forgiveness. Pretty sure this is where it took off:

URL: http://www.poetv.com/video.php?vid=25041
Title: Check out my body HATERS
Tags: train, read it and weep, haters, goronchev, vitriol

Coincidentally Roachbud is "suspended through 0000-00-00" What does this even mean? How do you even get suspended other than submitting multiple NSFW preview images/titles to the front page with front page privileges? How come I have front page privileges and others don't?


infinite zest - 2014-04-18

Haha.. that thread made my day. I had no idea so many of you are bouncers. Incidentally, it looks like zatojones, the man who introduced poe red to OOlong the Rabbit, is also suspended, as is my old account on here. In either case, I don't think either of us did anything to warrant termination except for maybe the fact that we had been users for so long? As far as I can tell, my last comment under my old username was something related to Weird Al, and a submission for the District 9 trailer where I said it didn't look very good (I was wrong there, but that's a speculative opinion.)

I'm thinking this was around the time that Anonymous was posting all sorts of trash that'd never make it out of the hopper, but had front page privileges, often times with a video that straight up called out some user's name in the title, and not in an endearing way "dedicated to X-user, because I heard you liked X so I put an X in your.." you know.

Personally I don't want my old user name back- I like this one better- but maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to investigate suspended accounts now that the site's under new management.


infinite zest - 2014-04-18

man.. looking back at my old history, I noticed that Socialist Hentai is suspended too, probably a lot of the old names. I can tell you for a fact that neither of them submitted or even made a comment that was even CLOSE to violating the terms of use.

The last video I submitted was "Japanese Girl JumpRopes Really, Really, Fast," which, well, someone in the world was probably fapping to.. anyway I was about ready to say "fuck it" and find somewhere else to spend 99% of my free online time, and I'm really glad I didn't.

Back to bedbugs, considering that most people I know who have bedbugs are also stoners, do you think if the bedbugs walked around and/or more-or-less lived their lives on or around weed, if you grinded up a bunch of them could you get high off the residue? I'm uhh asking for a friend of course.
