ThatCarGuyDFW got a reaction from Nico5point0 in A thought on public image
While picking up my bags at the baggage claim at LHR and someone came up to me and started giving me a verbal licking for stinking up the room with my "cigarette" (they used a British slang term that I don't want to repeat here due to it being offensive in the states.) Instead of getting defensive I said respectfully "It's actually a personal vaporizer." After that they started to get more belligerent and a PO came over and asked what the shouting was about. They replied with "This brazen Yankee moron is stinking up the baggage claim with his tobacco." The officer looked at me and I showed him my eGo-cc and he rolled his eyes and laughed a little. Asked them to take in a deep breath and said "Do you smell any tobacco?" They shook their head and said I was hiding it (how that's possible I wouldn't know). He then told them to move along and came up to me, shook my hand and said he was happy to see someone taking a step towards a healthier life style.

Enjoy your mum's sugar cookies while you can. You can "be good" about them at a later date.

ThatCarGuyDFW got a reaction from Jeffb in Anybody else besides me a Zombie fan?
I was a huge Dawn of the Dead fan ever since I was a kid. The Walking Dead graphic novels caught my eye when they started. When the show came on, I tuned in on premier night and was genuinely terrified. Been hooked ever since. I am totally looking forward to the mid season finale tomorrow!

ThatCarGuyDFW got a reaction from spydre in I LOVE this about vaping!
I was living in Louisiana the first time I took a shot at e-cigs (read my about me post to see why I quit them the first time) and it was the middle of summer. For those of you who haven't had the displeasure of going outside in the summer in a close to the gulft city, its just instant sweat. Its hot and sticky and there is no escaping it unless you are inside with A/C. My old shop foreman told me that it was ok to vape in the shop and that pretty much ended my days of smoking outside. Everyone would come in and have to spend a half hour cooling down before they could start working on their cars again. Needless to say when my productivity (and paychecks) went through the roof my service manager offered to buy anyone who smoked an e-cig kit. I saw cool relief, he saw more dollar signs. Last time I was there picking up tools I noticed a lot of vaping going on in the shop.

Considering I am about to spend 4 hours of my life on layover on my way to England next Monday, I will have to use this terminology when asked about it. I will report back with my findings
