I was just over in the 'regular' Bluelight 2000 board area, cruising through the usual crap there, and noticed Tigger's byline on a message. I quite like his posts and am not here to slander him, but seriously, can ANYONE in our part of the world REALLY justify sucking on a DUMMY when they go out??!?!?? (I know he's not in our part of the world, but I'm raising the issue for our opinions on the stupid things

)
I mean, you wouldn't walk down the street with one in your mouth would you (jezusss, ,would you?!?!)...so why use a bit of lip biting on E or Speed as an excuse to regress to your nappy-wearing babyhood?!??!
I think there's a scene in Human Traffic that features 'binkies' (what a fucking BABY name for them too!) and I tell you, I've never laughed so HARD in all my life...what idiots!..
Please, at the Bluelight Meetup, if you're gonna' have one of these dick pacifiers inserted into you, tell me now: I'll make sure I'm somewhere else....
later

Oh my goodness if anyone from the US actually saw this....
candyflip I agree with you entirely. A little while ago there was a whole thread about whether 'binkie's' were stupid or not and there were so many people who stood up for sucking on something you used to when you were 2 years old it was ridiculous!!! I got flamed like you wouldn't believe cause I told them how absolutely stupid they all looked. They then kept crying 'freedom' and 'it's my right to suck on a binky' and all that 5th amendment stuff. Hey, if they want to look stupid, let them. I really couldn't care less!!
I feel a bit bad now....I feel like we're backstabbing them or something by writing something in this thread. I mean there's really nothing wrong with it if that's what they want to do. What I find funny though is that that scene from Human traffic was from 1991. It's 2000 people!!! America has just taken a while to catch onto the rave scene.
Disclaimer: If there are any American ravers reading this....I have nothing against you personally...we're just making observations on the differences in your culture

Yes, and I'd just like to make that perfectly clearrr!! (affect John Cleese voice here!)...I am NOT trying to start the 'are the US ravers good or not 'cause they suck dummies' topic up again (I read that one too, Apples) because frankly, it's a boring discussion best left to the Main Board....I really don't care what they do.
I actually posted more out of curiosity about our scene (because I do care about that!) and although I've never seen anyone here with one in their mouth, perhaps if I went to a few more 'underground' raves, I might???...
I wonder......jeez, I hope not!!

I actually vaguely remember that in the early nineties raves here in Australia were about dummys and all things furry and glowing, just like the scene in Human Traffic and in America now. (Please don't flame me if they weren't cause I never went to one then but I remember it from magazines etc around that time). Our rave scene has just grown and developed and people have realised you don't need a baby's accessory to enjoy a rave.
I'm hoping the American rave scene will also develop and change like ours did. (With all the shut downs and problems with GHB OD's I think they will calm down a little like ours did after Anna Wood.) I hope so anyway. IMO all the pacifiers and children's toys just encourage all the kiddies into the scene who think it's all about the drugs. When people ditch all the toys and only take a few glowsticks to dance with, the focus returns to the music (like it has done here). We still get 14 year olds off their faces at all ages raves here but it seems a little less like a children's playground than it used to be.
Man, I've gone all serious now. basically I doubt you'll be seeing any 'binkie's' at Australian raves, underground or not. We've 'been there done that'!!!

Now this is an interesting thing, Iagree totally that seeing a grown man going for it on a 'binkie' or soother does look abit crass. It even looks a bit odd with the girls.Being from the UK I've seen this quite a bit.
When 'HappyHardcore'or 'four-beat' was in major drive it was part of the scene, much like the Glow sticks we have today.The glowies have lived on and travelled the globe, but the binkies have sort of stayed ashore in sunny old UK.
ALso in the UK , you get searched a hell of a lot (body, bags,pockets, etc), and the majority of the time any Gum that you have is taken away, and chuppachupps dont seem to be as big a thing there( it has been a couple of years since I was last there!). So I guess ppl need to mangle something other than thier teeth. Personally, I used to use a mouthguard.Looks better that a binkie,but it doesn't look too good when ya try to drink with it
wink.gif

fortunately here i get into the gum and cc's.
and don't forget ...we pommies are quite eccentric . saying that, see you all at TT

Nah.. ive seen binkies at raves recently...
saw a few people with them at Back2Basics... i just held the laughter inside....
But i can see why they have em', cause when i chew gum i usually liquify it to a paste-like texture which sucks cause i end up swallowing it and feel like shit the next day. But i will never put a dummy in my mouth, it looks hella stupid! so i end up with nothing in my mouth and an aching jaw the next morning.
word of advice: dont chew on your glowstix, not a good idea!

P.S. That scene from Human Traffic, i believe it was called Tom Toms, Summer of 91'

Once you pop, you can't stop...
 
I am completely over the whole wanky custume thing that seems to go with raves. People, you don't go to these parties for the costumes, the binkies or even the drugs, its about the fuckin' music. We have little fourteen year olds running around like rabbits at rave parties. A tip- put your binkies back in your little sisters mouth, take those stupid ears off your head, get the fuck back to school and let us enjoy ourselves. You'll get your turn when your old enough. Its the MUSIC we care about, nothing else !!
------------------
Electrify Me !!!
 
Ehhh, so this is what goes on in this forum, plotting take over the world huh? haha
I've never really been in here, but I agree with you, I don't like those binkies, or whatever the hell they are called. I've tried using them before, but they just look stupid, and in turn, I feel kinda stupid. I'm usually talking all the time anyway so it doesn't really matter!
OK, talk to you all later

PS - your secrets safe with me, haha

Just swinging by out of curiousity... I have to say that I agree completely. Our scene here in the US is really obscessed with the whole costume childlike attitude towards raves. I really can't stand seeing all the little kids sucking on binkies, I lose all respect for them when they look like a little baby. I just hope our scene starts to evolve pretty soon, I'm sick of the whole attitude right now. Maybe I should just move. It's like a giant 3 year-old's birthday party(+ drugs and, oh yeah, the music)sometimes...I really intrigued by your scene in Australia, can't wait to check it out someday.
 
hey guys,
i totally agree that binkies are ridiculous, and there use indefensible. There are so many things that you can do to prevent/ease jaw clenching, so in the end it comes down to personal vanity and wearing it to create a look.
but a thought to leave you with- how many of you are going to dress up like total fools for the upcoming Gatecrasher... hmmm??
lol

Dummies (sorry Binkies) may be one of the dumber things, but people going on about the "silly costume" thing - fuck off idiots !
You sound like a bunch of rave Nazi's !
You can't wear that, don't dance like that, what brand of gum are you chewing, you can't have that ?!
People are at Raves for their own reasons - you're there for the religous pursuit of the "music", some for the drugs, some for the social aspects, some because it beats the pub, some to get dressed up, everyone has their own reasons, that's supposed to be the unifying strength of Raves.
Don't start getting purist on us, now !
If you want everyone to fit a certain clique, go to a club, you obnoxious, selfish bastards.

P.S. No, I don't get dressed up in a bunny suit, but I appreciate that some people like to.

>insert witty comment here<
 
Freak, I totally agree with you, but too a lesser extent. I think all bluelighters have there hearts in the right places, but I do believe this thread is very judgemental. I don't use a dummie (I don't know how they got called binkies), but if I see someone next to me, I'm not going to think less of them, who knows maybe they've tried everything, and dummies are the thing that works for them. And besides that, if you're rolling hard, are you really going to give a fuck if they've got a dummy in there mouth or not?
For everyone out there that uses dummies while rolling 'cause they have major jaw clenching going on, go for it, don't stop just 'cause some of us bluelighters don't like it.

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice
 
Well Johnboy, you are absolutely correct in stating that most Americans suck. I for one only suck on special occasions and holidays....
wink.gif

As for the Binky/Dummy debate, I went to a rave last night and easily 70% of the crowd were using them. Personally I think they look stupid, and if someone needs to relive their troubled childhood they should do it through some Shirley McClaine past life hypnotic therapy that involves heavy usage of electro-shocks. Or the repeated use of a heavy blunt object to batter them around the head. Its so ironic because I had some friends from Germany who saw on of our raves and laughed hysterically. Which pretty much sums up the US rave scene...here its 90% about underage people having a place to take incredible amounts of drugs and be around other fucked up people. It aint about the music ya know?
Do you have any politicians in OZ we can import to replace ours? We'll give you George W. Bush. Hell we'll pay you even....

George W Bush?
Bleeh!
Don't point that thing at me, there isn't enough money in the world to compensate us for that guy... (although maybe if you gave us some of your binkies...)
wink.gif

You are most welcome to take our Politicians free of charge however.

the only people is see in oz with binkies are the ones who have gone to that silly how to dress for raves website. It's just a bizarre nipple fetish gone horribly wrong!
 
Your right eds-hed. We should stick to sucking nipples when on E. *lol at my own jokes*
