Well, howdy there! Let me tell ya, this whole “Star Trek bong” thing, it’s got folks all riled up, you know? I ain’t no expert, but I’ve seen a thing or two, and I can tell ya, this ain’t your grandma’s pipe, that’s for sure.
First off, what in tarnation is a Star Trek bong, you ask? Sounds fancy, like somethin’ them city slickers would use. From what I gather, it’s one of them water pipes, but it’s got somethin’ to do with that Star Trek show. You know, the one with the pointy-eared fella and the spaceships? Seems folks are makin’ these pipes look all futuristic and spacey, like somethin’ outta that show.
Now, I ain’t sayin’ it’s right or wrong, mind you. Folks like what they like. But it does make ya wonder, what’ll they think of next? A Star Wars ashtray? A Battlestar Galactica grinder? The possibilities are endless, I reckon.
Seems like you can find these Star Trek bongs all over the place these days. They got ’em online, in them fancy shops in the city, maybe even down at the flea market if you’re lucky. And the prices? Lord have mercy! Some of them things cost more than my old mule Bessie! They say some are “unique” or “custom,” which I guess means someone put a lot of work into makin’ ’em look all special.
- They got all sorts of shapes and sizes, too. Some are big, some are small, some are shaped like the Starship Enterprise, and some just got a little Star Trek symbol on ’em.
- And they ain’t just for smokin’, mind you. Some folks just collect ’em, like they would stamps or them little porcelain dolls. They put ’em up on a shelf and just look at ’em. To each their own, I say.
But here’s the thing that gets me. Why Star Trek? I mean, it’s a good show and all, but why put it on a bong? Maybe it’s ’cause them Star Trek fans are passionate folks. They love that show so much, they want it on everything they own. Or maybe it’s just a way to make a quick buck. Slap a Star Trek logo on somethin’, and you can charge twice as much for it, that’s what I always say. It’s like them folks sellin’ Star Trek shirts, Star Trek mugs, Star Trek everything. They even got Star Trek Discovery merchandise, Star Trek Picard gear, and stuff from the original Star Trek series. It’s a whole industry, I tell ya!
And speakin’ of gifts, seems like these Star Trek bongs are popular presents. I guess if you got a friend who loves Star Trek and, well, you know, enjoys a little puff now and then, it might be just the thing. But personally, I’d rather get a nice pair of socks or a good ol’ fashioned fruitcake. Somethin’ practical, you know? But then again, I ain’t one of them “trekkies” or whatever they call themselves. They got their own way of doin’ things, and that’s just fine by me.
So, there you have it. My two cents on this Star Trek bong business. It’s a strange world we live in, ain’t it? But as long as folks ain’t hurtin’ nobody, I reckon they can smoke outta whatever they please, even if it looks like it came from outer space. And if you’re lookin’ for a gift for a Star Trek fan, well, maybe one of them bongs ain’t such a bad idea after all. Just make sure it’s legal where you’re at, and don’t go blowin’ your whole paycheck on it. You still gotta buy groceries, you know?
And listen here, while you’re at it, thinkin’ about gifts, don’t forget about them hands-free gadgets. You know, the ones that let you talk on the phone and listen to music without havin’ to hold nothin’. They call ’em “hands-free phone, text, email, music, apps” thingamajigs. Handy for folks who are always on the go, I reckon. But me? I prefer a good ol’ fashioned conversation, face to face. But then again, I’m just an old woman, what do I know?
Anyway, that’s all I gotta say about these Star Trek bongs and such. It’s a whole new world out there, and I’m just tryin’ to keep up. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed them chickens. They’re gettin’ mighty restless.
