Hey ho hippyfans!
How’s it going? Are all your northlondonhippy dreams coming true? Mine sure are!
Life for this hippy has never been better, which means either I’m doing really well, or up until today, my life’s been fairly shitty.
Take your pick!
The main reason I’m writing this entry is because I want to tell you about something that EDIT just started selling from my friends at RooR.
Yes, it’s another bong, but oh my fucking god(!!!) what a bong!
I’m talking about the RooR Custom– White Lines — 5.0mm Dealer’s Cup. It is seriously a thing of beauty. The size, the style, the attention to detail are all classic RooR and the design is just amazing!
A snow-white crown mouthpiece and matching bowl, snow-white ice-notches, two reductions and a solid silver hemp leaf all make this bong a distinguished edition to the White Lines family. And like all RooR bongs and pipes, the quality of the construction is, well, the best in the world!
And there’s a reason why I endorse RooR goods so much, I own a fair bit of their kit myself! I won’t inventory it for you again here, but if you click on the RooR category you can read all about it.
Oh, I did buy a new RooR piece last week; I finally got my RooR Black Ashcatcher 5.0 and I’m really impressed with it. It’s given me the best smoke ever from my Little Sista through the diffuser and is worth having.
So there you go, another fine and desirable product from RooR. I really do need to contact them about selling a custom northlondonhippy RooR bong.
You’d buy one, wouldn’t you?
Since I started writing about my love of RooR glassware, I’ve noticed a lot of people have been visiting looking for more information about their pipes and bongs.
As always, I’m only too happy to help!
I’m not spying on you, but I do like to see what search terms people use that bring them to me. Ok, I’m nosy, but if it were your blog, you’d be nosy too!
All RooR glassware is hand made to a very high standard, from the smallest mini-steamroller to the top of the range Little Sista White Lines bong and every model in-between. The bongs are especially sturdy, with a choice of wall thicknesses right up to 7.0mm.
RooR stuff is also well designed and aesthetically pleasing; it all looks very good. It’s all also easy to clean, using just a kettle full of boiling water and a little bit of RooR’s special bong cleaner.
By far, the most important thing about RooR pipes and bongs is this: how it smokes!
Being an old hippy, I’ve owned more pipes and bongs than you’ve probably had hot dinners. Well, I’ve owned dozens over the years, how many times have you eaten cooked food?
Ok, you won that round!
Glass pipes are taste neutral, so you get the full flavour of whatever smoking herb you’re enjoying. Like weed.
RooR pipes are designed to maximise the flavour and the potency, they hit like a dream. I’ve never smoked from better pipes and that goes for all three models that I personally own, the mini-steamroller, the Pocket Friend and my Little Sista Ice Master 3.0 bong. They rock!
What also makes RooR so good is the bowl system; the Pocket Friend and all of the bongs use interchangeable bowls, which are also designed to enhance the experience. Combined with a RooR glass gauze, you have the perfect chamber for igniting your chosen herb. Again, weed.
I’ve customised my Little Sista with a RooR diffuser to replace the standard downpipe and that further improves the smoothness of the smoke. My next purchase will be the RooR Ash Catcher, which should complete my little collection.
I know that RooR is expensive, but then so is anything of real quality that you might purchase and expect to perform well and last for a very long time. You get what you pay for in this world and I can tell you from my experience, RooR is up there with Sony and Apple Computers as far as brands I trust that are very cool.
As a matter of fact, since I’ve become one of the world’s biggest cheerleaders for RooR, I’m thinking about approaching them to do a special edition northlondonhippy bong and then asking my friends at EDIT if they would like to be the exclusive distributors for it.
I would custom design it myself, naturally and order the very first one as well. Then they could take photos of it and list it on their websites to sell. And then you could buy one! It would be just like getting high with me every night only with less of me smoking all of your weed!
How fucking cool would that be?
And that title ain’t no lie, fuckers!
I’m high as a kite; I’m as high as the sky. I’m so high, so high, SO high!
I’ve been test-driving “The Big Grin” from Funk Pills and I’m digging these little fuckers very much. I’ll be ordering some more of them.
I took one pill around 12:30pm and was pleasantly surprised that by 1:30pm, I was feeling some mild, yet pronounced effects.
Initially, I found it slightly euphoric, with a subtle undertow of being monged. My vision became sharper as well.
I took a second dose around 2:30pm and now it is two hours after that. It’s much more euphoric, sensual and uplifting while being more comfortably monged. Colours are quite vibrant, my vision is razer sharp.
I like ‘em these ones good!
The nicest thing about them is they are not speedy at all; no racing heart, no restlessness. You could quite easily watch a film or go out and talk utter crap to strangers for hours.
I had some comments from a long time hippyfan called Meshman which I thought I would share with you. Here’s his message to me:
“hello mr hippy, i often pop in here and check what you are up too — wasnt happy to hear about your purple ohm exp, hope you were ok in the end , however i was surprised at you for taking more than recommended — you should know better !!!!
anyways i felt it prudent to dispel the myth that you perpetuate re :- piperazines. They are not an extract or derivative of any natural substance — they dont occur in nature at all — in fact they are more related to Viagra than Pepper! Piperazines are traditionally used to eliminate Worm infections in humans — yes WORMS !!
The original ‘made from pepper‘ line was spun to help ease the possible legality / acceptance of these compounds when they began appearing in NZ as a harm reduction tool. They do have a resemblance to piperidine which is a constituent of piperine which is found in the black pepper plant, hence the link.
Some info here -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piperazine
stay safe and always follow the instructions on the pack !!!
- meshman”
He’s right on everything he’s said. Pay attention kids!
On my ill-fated Purple Ohm fest, which was back in January, I did indeed exceed the stated dosage, which is why I had such a bad time on them. I have copped to this before, but I don’t know if I’ve ever tried to explain.
My only experience with piperazines at that point was limited to PEPs and it is very common for people to exceed the dosage, if what you read in forums online is anything to go by. It was the same with other herbal highs I had previously tried; to get anywhere you needed to take a lot.
Piperazines aren’t normal, herbal highs! They are strong and you should all follow meshman’s advice and learn from my mistake!
I am having real trouble forming coherent sentences at the moment. I’m not up to my usual game. I’m monged and not complaining!
Even better, when my order from EDIT came yesterday, it had an extra, free sample pack of Twisted (Psychedelic Funk). How cool is that?
I’m going to go back to being a sofa zombie on this fine Friday afternoon. I’ve just packed up my RooR mini steamroller and I’m going to float away happy.
Don’t you all want me to be happy? Don’t you? Don’t you??
I’ve had a few hippyfans contact me to point out that my love of all things RooR, while admirable, does not come cheap.
Of course, they are right. I know that full sized RooR pieces are pricey and not everyone has my sort of wildly overpaid, media job to afford them. Not even me for the high end goodies!
But as the title says, owning your own RooR piece doesn’t have to cost a fortune.
RooR’s Steamroller pipes are extremely well made and very affordable; the cheapest one, the mini only costs £5.95 and I can tell you it’s a great pipe, since I own one myself. I use it a lot, actually and it hits like a dream.
The come in three other sizes, each one a little bigger than the last, so you can choose one that’s just right for you.
And to get the most out of your RooR Steamroller, you need to get a glass gauze. I recommend this one, the glass jack, which fits the mini Steamroller perfectly. It’s only an extra £1.50, but it’s worth it. You don’t want a mouthful of ash or worse, your favourite herbal expensive smoking mixture.
Once you see how great the Steamrollers are, you will want to save you pennies for more of their fine glassware!
And while I’m recommending things to smoke, have you checked out Spice yet? It’s a mix of herbs that tastes nice, rolls nice and makes you feel even nicer. Yes, it really does have an effect! It’s the first herbal mixture I’ve ever tried that actually works and the high is very pleasant and mellow.
Spice also blends very well with weed, which makes it good for anyone who is trying to give up tobacco.
Of course, who am I kidding? Everything goes better with weed; especially me!
Happy toking!
Hello kids, how’s life out there in internetland? We’re virtually neighbours, here!
I’ve just arrived home from work on this rainy and grey Saturday morning, having just briefly seen the most amazingly perfect rainbow.
Ya see, how can life be bad when you’ve just seen a perfect rainbow?
Christ on the cross, but am I a proper hippy sometimes or what?
Or what.
The main reason I’ve logged in and blogged on is that now that I’ve spent some quality time with all my new RooR goodies, I thought I might provide you with my more considered impressions of this finely crafted glassware.
And that’s where I stopped writing on Saturday morning. It’s Sunday morning now, a full 24 hours later.
Ain’t time travel amazing?
I’ve just arrived home from work again; only today it’s sunny and bright, but you didn’t come here for the daily north London weather report, did you?
You want to know about RooR!
My first purchase from RooR was the “Mini Steamroller”, which is a very inexpensive piece and is well within reach of everyone reading this. It costs less than seven quid. All you need to add to that is this glass gauze for another £1.50 and you have one of the smoothest hitting small pipes I’ve ever had the pleasure of smoking from!
My next purchase was the RooR “Pocket Friend” which is admittedly on the pricey side, but an amazing looking pipe. My initial reaction to this pipe was slight disappointment, but now that I’ve had a bit more time to really get to know it, I can say that it too is quite good. Consider that my considered, revised opinion.
But is it worth the seventy quid price tag?
That, my friends, is a matter between you, your personal god and your personal accountant.
I thought I was your personal god, anyway!
I think the craftsmanship and functionality are both top-notch and one does get what one pays for, but I do appreciate for a touch more money, you could buy a full sized bong.
Ok, it’s a luxury, but not a necessity.
I know it’s expensive, but if you want a nice RooR pipe for chilling out while watching television, this is the perfect one!
The reason it is so good, I think, is two fold; firstly, it uses a normal RooR bowl and glass gauze, which are extremely good, and secondly, because of the large cooling chamber and smoke path, it hits like a dream!
Mainly, it really fucks you up and lets face it, isn’t that why we all smoke dope?
We do all smoke dope, don’t we?
I was just using the Pocket Friend and I am quite nicely toasted. That’s gotta be worthy of a yippppeee!
You know, I haven’t requested a “yipppeee for the hippy” in ages. I can’t remember the last time I did actually. So how about one for old time’s sake?
Go on, gimme a yipppeee!
Thank you, I really needed that.
We now resume the regularly scheduled programme.
After the Pocket Friend, I went for a full-on bong, the “Little Sista Ice Master 5.0” which I’ve now used a few times.
I can state, categorically that it is by far the best bong I have ever smoked from and that’s really saying something!
Part of the reason my Little Sista is so good is that I added two optional bits of kit. I bought this RooR Diffuser and this Molino Pre-Cooler, which dramatically changed the way this bong smokes. It hits like heaven must feel!
If there was a heaven.
The diffuser softens the smoke as it comes through the downpipe; it is the downpipe, only the end is sealed and then punctured with lots of little holes, which is what softens the smoke as it passes through the water in the base of the bong.
The pre-cooler slots into the ground glass joint of the downpipe and holds a small amount of water, into which its own downpipe resides. And at the top is the bowl, filled with my favourite smoking mixture.
Ok, it’s pure, freshly ground, skunky bud, but you could use anything you wanted.
Why would you want to use anything else?
The pre-cooler, as the name suggests, adds an additional level of cooling, as well as filtration. It also catches any ash that might fall into the downpipe, keeping it from clogging up the base of the diffuser and also keeping the water in main chamber of the bong fresher, longer.
I do like the Molino Pre-Cooler, but I am thinking of ordering the RooR version, called the RooR Ash Catcher 5.0 Black. Again, it’s not cheap, but it would be handmade to a very high standard. Mainly, I am thinking of getting it because it is clear, which would make it easier to see how much smoke is in it.
Plus, it would match the Little Sista better and RooR is as much about style as it is functionality!
All of this praise is to serve as an approved endorsement from the northlondonhippy for all things RooR.
If you smoke dope, you owe it to yourself to invest in some of this fantastic glassware. It will last you a lifetime and provide you with years of smoking pleasure!
And if you are feeling really rich, perhaps you could order the new RooR custom, “Little Sister White Lines 5.0” which sells for a cool £360, but is a work of art!
And please note, though I do love my new RooR goodies, obviously other bongs and pipes work too.
For example, the Black Leaf bong I’ve quite generously offered as the prize in my latest wild and wacky contest. It hits like a motherfucker too! Whoever is lucky, nee, blessed with winning this fine bong will have years of smoking pleasure ahead of them too!
I started a rather laborious task last week and that is fixing all of “my classic entries” from my old blogspot blog.
When they were imported here into my fancy new blog, they arrived without titles or categories. They don’t even say they were authored by the hippy! Oh the horror!
The older entries don’t have titles, because I didn’t give them any; likewise with the categories. Bummer, man.
That means I have to go into each one and add a title and categories myself, then republish. I’ve only done one month so far, out of the last twenty-five months of blogging, so I have a long way to go before I’m finished. Though, once I’m done, getting around this site will be much easier.
And I’ll be able to pick my top five entries much easier, since I’ll be reading every word I’ve written over the next few weeks. See, I didn’t forget!
And finally, I want to send out a huge “thank you” to all my hippyfans, both old and new, for making the month that just finished, the best month for hippyvisitors ever! I did big-time, business!
I might not be able to claim I’m underground much longer! Oh the horror!
Knowing that the number of you hippyfans is growing every day certainly makes writing this blog much more fun!
Ok, I’m an attention seeker, lovemelovemelovemeloveme, but only online.
In my real life, in the real world, I continue to remain anonymous, invisible and unnoticed, which is how I like it. I even had my hair cut quite short last week, a number seven back and sides! Until then, it was down past my shoulders, thick and curly.
I looked like a rock god!
Ok, a short, fat and balding rock god, but a rock god none the less.
Now, with short hair, I can move amongst you mortals even easier. I could be peering over your shoulder right now, as you read these words and you wouldn’t even know I was there!
Does that creep you out?
Don’t worry; I won’t fondle you, unless you fondle me first.
Hey! There’s still time to win my bong! Click here for the details!
Hey hippyfans! How’s things?
Things are groovy here in my north London lair. I’ve had a few mellow days, sorting out a few things here and there. Life is good.
I’ve popped by just to mention that there’s a big change to my website, which you may have noticed.
I now have advertising.
The company I’ve chosen to adorn my blog is none-other than EveryoneDoesIt.Com, or EDIT as I often refer to them and as they do indeed refer to themselves.
EDIT is by far the best web retailer there is for all things legal and drug related. I’ve been shopping with them personally for nearly three years and I can only praise the quality of their service and goods. I wish all the websites I shopped with were as together as EDIT.
But what exactly do they sell?
Pipes, bongs, bubblers, seeds, a wide variety of legal highs, spares, blunt wrappers, grinders, rolling papers, rolling machines, rolling trays, rolling stations and of course, my new favourites, RooR glassware. If it is legal, fun and related to getting high, my friends at EDIT stock it.
So if you are going to shop with EDIT, why not do it through me? All you have to do is click on any of the links on this page and let EDIT do the rest. I promise you they are every bit as good as I say they are. And I should know, I’m probably one of their best customers!
And if you do shop with EDIT, send me an email and let me know what you bought and how it all worked out for you!
Hey fuckers. I’m having one of those hippydays that make life worth living already!
I’ve been awake since 5am, lucky me. I went to bed around 11pm, so that’s 6 hours of quality sleep. Ok, it’s not enough.
I’ve already watched the latest episode of the Sopranos, which is a pretty neat trick here in north London, considering it’s getting it’s first run in America on HBO right now. Why do I have to wait for Channel Four to get their act together? I’ll watch it again when they show it anyway, so everyone wins!
I’m digging it already and they’re only up to episode two. Rock on.
I’ve also been out to the superdupermarket and it was a good trip. I was there and back in 45 minutes and didn’t forget a single item. Yipppeee to that!
I’ve also read all my usual newspaper sites and other assorted webpages, checked all my email accounts and responded to the more pressing ones. I’ve also done some web shopping, placing an order with Amazon and EDIT.
Besides a few small, inconsequential items, the two main things I purchased from EDIT are the following:
A RooR diffuser (for my Little Sista 5.0 Ice Master)
…and
The diffuser was planned all along, but to order one, I had to measure the downpipe that was shipped with the Little Sista, because each bong is unique and the lengths can vary. Hey ho!
Spice, appears to be a herbal smoking mixture that is suppose to smell and taste good as well as get you high! Sounds good to me; and apparently it also mixes very well with weed, so I could be on to a winner. It also costs the same as skunk, so I’m hoping the reviews I’ve seen means it lives up to the hype. I’ll find out tomorrow.
I always try to stay up to date and on the cutting edge of legal highs! Watch out for my personal review of Spice, coming soon!
God, is this a dull-ass posting or what? I went shopping, I bought this, I wanked my cock down to a bloody stump!
OK, I made up that last one, just to see if you were paying attention. You are. Good.
See, here’s the thing. As “the biggest internet celebrity you’ve never heard of….but not for long”, I’m constantly checking my hitcounter to see if my online stardom has arrived.
So far, it hasn’t.
That doesn’t stop me from checking, though. As “a messiah for the new millennium”, I know I need to get my words out to the masses in a big old way; and I know my time will come; and soon!
In the meantime, I am charting a rather steady increase in traffic to my site. There’s loads of new hippyfans joining you old timers every day. I can even see how many of you fuckers are bookmarking me and grabbing the syndication feeds and it warms this hippy’s heart to no end!
It’s not that I’m unpopular, or unknown, I prefer to see it as still remaining underground; so if you’ve made it here, well done you!
I love you hippyfans, I really do. That’s why I want to give you my old bong. For the hippy loveth you all so much that he doth giveth you his old acrylic old! Dig it fuckers!
So to my hippyfans, both old and new, thank you for visiting my page.
You’re part of the internet elite, a small, extremely intelligent and sexy subgroup of internet users who have the good taste, common sense and quite frankly, the overwhelming cool required to fully appreciate whatever it is I do here.
What is it I do here, again? Oh yeah, my special brand of drivel!
You are by far the best group of fans on the internet and though your numbers may be few (and growing rapidly), you all more than make up for it with your style, wit and joie de vivre!
So whether you are a first time visitor or a long time hippyfan, welcome to my wild, weird and wacky world!
“I’ll make you laugh, I’ll make you think, I’ll make you wish you were a hippy too!” Or something like that.
One bong. One winner. One hippy to decide! Click here to enter!
What’s with you guys?
Don’t you want to win my old bong?
This contest is serious. This contest is real!
You can win my old bong. Well, you can if you enter. There’s a link at the top of this page that will tell you how!
Someone really has to win it, why not let it be you!
My new bong arrived yesterday in all its RooR goodness. I went for the Little Sista Ice Master 5.0 and it’s a work of art! It’s also massive! It’s a good thing I’m getting rid of my old one!
Believe it or not, I haven’t tried it yet. I’m waiting for the right time to test drive it. I expect it will smoke like a dream.
I’m awake too early again this morning, thanks to two my cats. I’m working tonight and they woke me up more than 12 hours before I’m due at my office. I’m going back to bed, very soon.
I’ve got a couple of things I need to sort out before I rejoin my pillows and this entry is just my attempt to kill some time.
Does that make you feel bad? That I’m only here to waste some time? I’ve got no pearls of wisdom or clever observations to share with you. I’m just here because I can’t think of anything better to do.
A lot of life is just killing time. Waiting is probably our number one pastime. We wait in shops, in doctor’s offices, we wait for pages to load in our browsers online; we wait for food to be served, plates to be cleared, loved ones to phone.
Most of the time, we’re all just waiting to die.
Maybe your death is decades away, maybe it’s only moments. Perhaps while you’re sitting at your PC, reading this very hippyposting, you might shuffle off that mortal coil.
Sorry in advance if my drivel is the last thing on your mind when you meet your maker!
Perhaps you’re one of those people that fill every waking moment with something useful and worthy. Well done, you.
I try to keep busy, I strive not to waste time, but I can’t help it. There’s just so much of it to waste.
Until you run out of time, then you wish you could have all the time back.
Sometimes I feel like I’ve wasted the last 20 years of my life.
That doesn’t mean I haven’t had fun, because I’m the king of fun, but I do wonder sometimes if the choices I’ve made and the directions I’ve taken have been the right ones.
There’s a school of thought that says whatever decision you make, it’s the right decision, because it’s the one you made. I’ll buy that because it means you can absolve yourself from any second-guessing.
I don’t like to second-guess myself. Instead, I take stock frequently. Most days, I’m not doing too badly.
I’ve got Mrs. H, I’ve got my younger brother; I’ve got a job I dig that pays reasonably well and I’m writing more lately than I ever have. I’ve got a roof over my head and food in my belly. I’ve got computers, the internet and satellite tv. I’ve got a house full of cats that keep me entertained. I’ve always got dope!
What is this, fucking thanksgiving?
The real question is; would you do anything differently if you had the chance?
Of course I would! Wouldn’t you?
For starters, I’d be taller!
Hey hippyfans, do I suck or what?
I haven’t been here in over a week, so indeed I qualify in the sucking department. I can only blame my busy and glamorous media lifestyle and the fact that I’m old and need my sleep!
I could blame loads of other things too, like global warming and the war on terror, but that would be me exaggerating the situation. I’m not actually in government, so it’s not my job to scare you!
I’ve had a bit of a lull between bouts of work and haven’t done loads. I’m back on Saturday night for one, then not again until Wednesday for three more. At the end of the month, I’m going to get really busy and stay that way through most of April. At least I’ll be rich! Depending upon your definition of rich, that is.
Put it this way, I won’t be broke and it means I can spend more money on RooR goodies!
I’ve recently discovered this excellent brand of glassware pipes and bongs and am extremely impressed with the quality of their pieces. So far, I’ve only purchased two small items, but in the very near future, I’ll be ordering my very first full sized RooR bong.
My favourite website, EDIT, stocks a wide variety of RooR GOODS, all hand made from their factory in Germany. Besides being works of art, all of their stuff is extremely functional. And the function?
Smoking weed!
These are grown-up pieces, they’re not toys for kids! They’re not cheap either!
I purchased the smallest piece they make, the MINI STEAMROLLER; it only costs £5.95. I’ve never had a pipe that hit as smooth as this little baby. I can’t recommend this one enough, it is absolutely perfect!
Go on and order one, it’s cheap and you will not regret it! Oh and also, order one of these GLASS GAUZES, yes the one I’ve provided the link to, it’s the perfect size for the mini steamroller!
Cleaning it is a breeze, just pour some boiling water into the bowl and watch most of the gunk float away. If you really need to clean it better, don’t use a brush, use RooR BONG CLEANER!
The other pipe I bought is the RooR POCKET FRIEND, which I like, but I can’t recommend, unless you are an aspiring collector like myself. It’s quite pricey and yes, it does hit like a dream, but it feels a bit fragile and for a little more money, you could have a full sized bong. It’s a real work of art though!
Very soon, I will be ordering my RooR Little Sista 5.0, which is going to last me the rest of my life. It looks like the perfect bong!
Why does all this RooR excitement matter to you, you might ask. Simple! It means I’ve got to clear some space and get rid of one of my other bongs! It’s not even 6 months old, but I’m going to part with it…
By giving it away in my next wild and wacky contest!
I tried to give away my car; I’ve shroomed with a hippy fan contest winner, but now get ready for my most amazing, life changing contest ever!
You can win the hippy’s slightly used, impressively customised Black Leaf bong, with an ice twist!
Don’t worry, this is not the formal announcement of the contest, that will be coming in the next day or two.
Basically, I’m ready to ship this excellent acrylic bong to anyone, anywhere in the UK, no wait, anywhere in the European Union for free!
You’ll have to be at least 18 years old (sorry kids) and live in the European Union to enter! I haven’t decided how you’ll win it just yet, but I’m sure emails will be involved! And don’t forget the oral love!
Let me get some actual photos of the actual bong and post them first. It’s complete with filter attachment, brand new drop-in Australian style bowl and conical gauze, so it’s ready to rock right out of the box!
You’ll need to supply your own weed or other smoking mixture! I can’t do everything for you!
Check back soon for the complete details on how you can win the hippy’s bong!
Life just doesn’t get any better than this!
