Personally, I prefer smoking rattle snakes.

If I could only figure out which end to light.

[Fai Mao]

Just when you think you’ve read or heard everything.

[bert]

not to worry.... global warming is having a bad effect on scorpion habitat and the result will be fewer scorpions

[Covenantor]

Smokin Dead Scorpions?

[W.]

Perhaps they might try smoking dried banana peel scrapings like the hippies in the 60’s were rumored to have done... A bug in their ear, perhaps? Too bad the scorpion won’t fit in there.

Always wondered what that guy was smokin'.

I suppose any poison that affects the brain and causes mind-altering effects can be perceived as pleasurable to some people.

There is a reason we call such effects “intoxication.” The word literally means “a state of being poisoned.” Alcohol would be one of the safer intoxicants, since the body has specific mechanisms for detoxifying and purging the body of the chemical.

I would suggest inhaling from the tail end keeping the head as far away from your face as possile.

Black Lotus, Stygian, the BEST!!!I would sell Haga to a slayer such as you?

[Feckless]

I’m sitting on a freaking gold mine!

[PGalt]

Hey, does that explain the way Keith Richards looks? /s

I find the inclusion of “dead” in the title interesting. I assume there’s no addiction problem with smoking live ones.

Another good name for a rock band “Smoking Dead Scorpions”

“We need laws in place to stop the killing of scorpions,” he says.

Pakistan is the most f***ed up nation in the world.

[elcid1970]

Pakistan is a third world s***hole and the very worst of them all. 70% of all Pakis are inbred. A crawling, filthy blight upon the Earth.

Britain is heavily infested with Pakis.

[patriot08]

Sounds about right for these interbred savages. Nothing they do surprises me.

Smoking Dead Scorpions sounds like the name of a thrash band.
