you know you're trippin' balls when....

[pf echoes]

^ My friend says that one too, "because its the dominant part of the package" as she would say.

You look at the stars and rather than seeing a twinkling light you see a giant ball of gas burning light years away and can see constellations you have never seen before and finally come to the conclusion that the universe is just in our backyard .

that one's a classic

 

[frusty noggets]

when you are bumping molly in the bathroom of a concert and you know security is standing in the bathroom but you think its a good idea to yell "JENKeM FOR SALE! WE GOT JENKEM"

and then security busts in the stall when u have a face full of white powder

wish i wasnt such a damn troll when im fucked up

 

[CaptainAmerica]

I prefer the term, tripping off my gourd

 

[superduperness]

how about when you go into the downtown police station at 3-4AM on 15mg of 2c-e to ask them help them find your car..?? and end up having tremendous life conversations with the receptionist. i was really really nice to them and they shockingly helped me find my car instead of locking me up.. and no i wasn't driving...just needed some things out of my car. i had parked in their back alleyway unknowingly and it took us like 30 minutes to find the street name on the city map...they never think of that street name because it was their back alley ! after being in there for a while, i was like DAMN! i'm in the police station! oh sh--!!!! i have no clue as to why they didn't notice(or just didn't care) ..i was frying so hard they must have thought i was "special."

from my other post -- after taking substantial amounts of cubensis i often found myself deep in the woods with no shirt for some reason...in "native american" mode,,,each time this happened,, i realized that i was indeed tripping some serious bawls

i also could not - for the life of me - understand the physics of smoking sometimes - i mean i couldn't figure out how the damn things work and when i finally got a drag -- it was like a giant celebration!

all funniness aside - please be extremely careful if you are going to do psychedelic substances ---especially you kids out there that should not be reading this!!!

 

[cattlecruiser]

when everything you see seems to progress through hundreds of years time right before your eyes, growing old and decaying....

..and having a feeling of profound, almost divine understanding of how the world works from it.

 

[pharmakos]

when you can't figure out how to operate your phone because it's a highly advanced form of technology that only the most elite of human beings can possibly understand how to wield.

 

[Psyke]

When you 're trying to get past security into the festival,
and your friend is speechless chewing on his glasses.

You have to explain him off saying he's been loopy today and the only thing you friend says is:

"you're right these glasses taste good."



EDIT: oh and when you walk past a fat lady and your friend runs off screaming BACON LADY !!!!!!!

 

[junkie skumbag]

When your looking down on your self

When your seeing your death 1000 times over

and when you feel that feel that unfamiliar but sooo familiar feeling

 

[thoughtsUnThought]

when you know that something is different about your current perceptual experience, but can't, for the life of you remember what 'sobriety' feels/looks like...

 

[dubdubbawobwob]

u start thinking about how the world was created or some shit like that and then think you are possitive u found the answer. Then u wake up the next day and forgot of what the answer was but are sure that it was something amazing. At least in my case that happens like every time i do cid or shrooms

Even more difficult for me to deal with is when you are thinking about those things and right as you are about to get to the answer or you get the answer you forget/ are looped back in the thought. Or when entities tell you profound things and all you remember about them is how profound they are with no recollection of what they were.

When you fool around with your hands in your pockets only to realize that doing so makes them grow deeper and more complex and you suddenly find your arms multiplying as well

When you have thoughts of just taking your stash/base pipe/etc and throwing it to get rid of it for no apparent reason

 

[Bkhaze]

When you cant figure out how the fuck to get your arms in your jacket...
And after trying for what seems like forever, you give up with it half on upside down..


Ate an eigth of some very unexpectedly potent shrooms when this happened in my friends car, I believe being in a tight space added on to the difficulty of putting my jacket on..TRIPPIN BALLS described my mental/physical state that night haha.

 

[DwayneHoover]

How can "trippin balls" have described your state when it is a totally vacuous phrase with ZERO actual linguistic meaning? Don't you mean "TRIPPING YOUR BALLS OFF"? I am on a mission to eradicate that idiotic stupid "tripping balls" phrase. Its OK to actually reference your balls, and say something with actual semantic meaning... it's not "dirty", and your mommy isn't here to spank you. Jesus Fucking Christ!

 

[greenmeanies]

personally i feel "tripping balls" resonates more with the actual feeling, than "tripping my balls off". When i am tripping that hard, my ACTUAL balls are usually not in the equation at all Perhaps because "balls" rhymes with bawling (like crying) or has the omnipotent "ALL" inside it... i can understand "tripping my face off" because those peak experience usually involve an intense stare into the mirror whilst one discovers people hiding underneath one's own mask... but tripping balls simply wraps up the emotion in a concise statement that works so well in american english, at least in my mind.

 

[DwayneHoover]

Well imo that's pretty silly... "tripping balls" wraps up exactly zero emotions for me, I have no clue what emotion that could possibly refer to... draws a total blank... you feel extra round when tripping? or extra bouncy? what does that mean?

It's quite obviously a bastardization of "tripping my balls off" which was spoken LONG before this. I'm sure it did not just occur to someone to say the new thing totally out of the blue.

We used to explicitly use "tripping my balls off" (sometimes it was "ass" or "face" too) all the time, WAY before this recent trend started a couple years ago.

 

[greenmeanies]

i can't rationalize how the phrase resonates with me. remember that in english, removal of words or punctuation allows the imagination to reassign parts of speech. "the panda eats bamboo shoots and leaves" is different from "the panda eats bamboo, shoots, and leaves"

perhaps there's the mental pun about some magical energy spheres that emanate a tripping aura, hence "TRIPPING BALLS!" copper-core neomagnetic homeopathic suppositories, now available in a twelve pack at wal*mart.

Or the idea that my balls themselves are actually doing the tripping, rather than having them detached from myself during the trip.

Anyway, it's just language evolving Perhaps thou shall reflect differently about the subject on the morrow!

I don't think anyone except YOU cares, it is not worth derailing a thread for your important mission.

Though, this is a good example when you may know you're Tripping Balls...when you criticize phrases that even when phrased another, 'better', way...are still basically meaningless. Perhaps we should instead only say that 'You know you were heavily intoxicated on a psychedelic substance when...'

Anyway, it's just language evolving Perhaps thou shall reflect differently about the subject on the morrow!

Wait a minute, I thought tripping balls meant youre tripping hard enough to hallucinate testicles, basketballs, and other ball shaped objects

[yagecero]

...you don't realize you have a body until you piss yourself.

^this^

Or when a really good friend pops over unannounced and you have no fucking clue who, or what, they are.

Or when you find yourself humming or whistling some other worldly tune that was just taught to you by an unidentifiable entity.
