'Space Monkey??'

slapdash21 · Post by **slapdash21** » 27 Sep 2005 13:36

so my mom is watching Dr. Phil across the room, and im listening...and its the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard! apparently there is a game called 'space monkey' or 'the choking game' where youths get together and choke each other until they pass out, apparently experiencing a tingly 'high.' apparently kids are getting 'addicted' to this! it is the lamest, ridiculous thing EVER. one kid who was apparently addicted (doing it 10+ times a day), accidently hung himself trying to get a high. anyone heard of this? ANYONE find it reasonable?

I'm watching that right now. I've heard of it before. I was asked to do it and it was a no brainer for me. I was like...."Are you stupid?" Let's cut off the oxygen to our brains, for fun!!! Yay!

I guess when you do it you get kind of a high....

That's why everyone should play footbag so they can get the footbag high instead of suffocating their brain.

I'm getting a bit off topic here but in Australia there is definitely a cultural trend such that when stories like that are heard, the response from many many people is "only in America" - which I guess is becoming a fairly common expression to say that only American's would do something like that. It's fairly in-accurate in my opinion but I think it shows the growing change in attitudes - over a long time now.

I tried it once, i passed out.....and i woke up with a kidney missing. I've been clean for 6 months now. It's hard not to choke myself but i guess that's just willpower, when you're able to resist CHOKING YOURSELF. Fecking idiots....all of them.

I've heard of it. when i was in intermediate school there were a few people who did this. Funny enough, it got banned.

I don't think anyone got addicted to it, it was simply a ruff game/fad for egotistical teens.

I've had it done to me before, pretty much a non-event.

It's just like going to sleep. Only when you wake up, there are people looking over you wondering if you were ever gonna wake up.

I don't recall there being any buzz at all. .

yeah we used to do it in like grade 6. then this one guy conked out and the guy who was squeezing his neck didn't support him so guy falls over, smokes his head on a table, splits his noggin open, the teachers freaked on us and we all got inschool suspensions. no one really did it after that.

I did this when I was a kid once or twice. for the few seconds I passed out, I was transported to magical land where everything was made of multicolored cheese.

I'm not joking, it was kinda weird. I sat on a bed, wrapped a sweater around my neck, did about 30 deep deep breaths really really fast, then exhaled, pulled the sweater tight, and passed out.

I don't think I've done it since. I'm with you, Jon

I've done it when I was rolling and I knew guys that would do it while smoking (not now, like way back in high school), but I've never heard of doing it sober to try to get high. That's weird.

...i was recently jumped then choked out or spacemonkeyed, i dont know. These happen because i told them they're fuckin retards for cutting off the oxygen to thier brains. I didnt get a "high" or anything, i was just pissed off and had a headache the next day.

my friend once showed me something similar to this...its called a "hawaiian high", only you dont choke the person, and you do it after you smoke a blunt, bong, etc.

what you do is crouch with your body tucked in against a wall, take about 30 deep breaths fairly fast, stand up while still holding your breath and cross your arms across your chest. after this you get a friend to push you as hard as he can against the wall and you exhale...after this you cant really control yourself, you will most likely just get extremely lightheaded and collapse, and just start histerically laughing

...

ive only done it once or twice but both times were great...i highly reccomend it as long as you dont do it frequently and get addicted like the fucking morons on Dr. Phil.

I have never heard of something so ridiculous

The kids around here are pretty keen on setting discarded tires and old mattresses ablaze and sitting around it like a bonfire - I'm sure it gets em feeling really stupid and dizzy

They giggle like little girls when they get a thick cloud of smoke forming

You should choke people only in case they owe you money! In other cases sniff glue or paint...
Mama said beer is bad for me, so I started depriving my brain of oxygen, it's way healthyer

It's a sex thing, more or less. Haven't you ever heard of chicks who were "gaspers"? They have better orgasms or something like that.

I might have seen it on T.V., or in that movie ,originally a book (vastly superior to the movie), "Rising Sun" with Connery/Snipes investigating a Japanese corporation.

I also remember reading someplace that it happens a lot with these "suicides", but the cops leave out the details, to save the family embarassment.

It could be some new drug-related thing.
