  I think they used to call them “friends.”

  “Doing nothing with friends, isn’t really doing nothing.” Paraphrased from “The boy, The Fox and The Mole.”

    For me the bong hits were more in the 90s, it was more pipes or joints before that. People talking on the phone all day was more of a '70s and '80s thing. Non-stop busy signal. And then later we added modems to the same line.

      No man, we did plenty of bong hits in the 70s and 80s…

  I spent hours talking on the phone with my friend as I was playing Warcraft 2 on my PC, and they played Warcraft 2 on their PlayStation. Good times.
