Bong Bong

While traveling in Mumbai, my IFTF colleague Jason Tester visited Boing Boing's flagship marijuana dispensary.

David Pescovitz is Boing Boing's co-editor/managing partner. He's also a research director at Institute for the Future. On Instagram, he's @pesco.

  They sell massive bongs that burn tiny MICROBONGS. You inhale the microbongs which continue burning in the lungs, powered by the simple act of breathing! You’ll be getting high without anyone even noticing.
  
  Hence: The Bong Bong.

  I used to work with a guy named Bong, which is apparently not an uncommon nickname in the Philippines.

    Yes, me too. But this Bong was a girl.

    Wow… I had forgotten this, but one of the guys in my biochem lab in grad school was named Du Bong Ha. I didn’t know him very well, but favorite name ever.

      It’s even funnier in Norwegian, where “Du” means “You” and “Ha” means “Have” (infinitive).
      
      You Bong Have!

Bong is the short for Bengali. This is evident from the large red dot signifying the red bindi Bong married women wear. I am kinda uniquely qualified to comment on this :) I own http://www.bonggeek.com and my wife runs the http://www.bongcook.com

  So what’s the difference between “Bong” and “Bhangla,” then?

    Bong is kinda short form.

  “uniquely qualified”?
  
  There’s no other Bengalis on the Internet?

    You are as serious as Slartibartfast. Lighten up, don’t you see the smiley. Uniquely because I own the bong* domains.
