Last Saturday, my friends and I decided to host a small gathering on our rooftop, complete with pizza, drinks, and some lively conversation. As the sun began to set, my buddy Dave got a bit too animated while trying to gesticulate stories from his latest camping trip. Unbeknownst to him, his oversized shadow was being cast dramatically against the side of the building, creating a shadow show that looked straight out of a comedy sketch. Before long, we all found ourselves laughing as it seemed like his shadow was battling an invisible foe, complete with karate kicks and wild arm flailing.
It took us a good ten minutes to inform Dave that he was not only the star of a ridiculous backyard movie but also unwittingly auditioning for the role of ‘Most Dramatic Shadow.’ Even better, every time he’d strike a pose, someone would inevitably yell “Take that, bad guys!” The absurdity of us all cheering on a shadow silhouette made the night unforgettable—who knew a simple gathering could turn into a rooftop rave of hilarity playing off of Dave’s epic “shadow kung fu”?

Shadow performance on the rooftop

T
Here I was waiting for some cool, intricate shadow puppet thing to emerge, only to realize on the second watch he was rolling a fatty 😂
J
Same here. I was waiting for a crazy eagle to emerge and fly away.
G
At least a rabbit or barking dog?!
S
Not even rolling. Just packing a pre roll. This new generation of smokers are lame
T
I mean, I could also go to the well anytime I need water but sometimes I treat myself with a trip to the fridge.
M
I remember a time of learning how to roll inside out. Then you could light the excess paper and use it to also light the joint.
L
Idk, where I’m from we always rolled a cone ourselves, and packed them like this. I haven’t smoked for 10+ years tho, so stuff might be different now
J
Same here. I think a lot of Europe does it this way.
T
Lame because they smoke even, and are cost effective. Damn people for wanting to smoke *all the weed* instead of it running like cheap hose, and all falling out the side like this pregnant bitches our dads be rolling like *you gotta get your thumbs under like that* with his tongue sticking out the side of his mouth.
J
Your dad and my dad had very different rolling techniques.
S
Thats just poor technique. But lame because rolling is an art in itself. Its a skill, something that takes time and effort to master. Its like foreplay. Why skip it when its a great build up to an even better curated experience? Learning to roll your own means you can make it smoke how you want. Slow and rich or quick and easy. Its up to you. Not just a generic one size fits all cone. Cost effective im not so sure. 50 cones from raw is 10 bucks vs 300 papers for 5 bucks. You can buy the filter booklet with 480 filter papers for 6 bucks.. so its far cheaper to roll your own.
A
what is “rolling a fatty?” is that some kind of sex term?
L
It means using a rolling paper and a copious amount of weed to roll a joint that when compared to a standard joint it would appear “fat” because it is using so much flower.
A
ah. drug term. Thanks.
W
Drugs are great, you should try all of them
T
Since when did the term “rolling a fatty” become incomprehensible online?
W
I’m not sure, but I like turtles, if that helps
C
I might not be able to do that
A
I use the prescription ones as necessary, The over the counter type when required, but never touch the illegal ones.
X
Same lol
P
You know he’s rolling a fat one!
5
he aint rollin shit
E
and this performance is called “fat doob fast”
H
He’s packing one, not rolling, nor fat.
R
Ah, yes. Plato’s rooftop allegory.
T
I thought it was a pen, I only understood after opening the comments.
P
Took me a second. I was looking for shapes😂
Y
I hope he takes volunteers from the audience
Y
Bro is just packing in the blunt
M
How is he rolling that? He just has an empty cone somehow and he’s filling it?
D
So that’s either a blunt wrap or a pre-made cigarette tube. It looks like he’s just scooping from a pouch or envelope then tapping it to settle in. With the cigarette kits you usually have a gadget that makes it easy to fill with a sliding motion or something, this guy is doing the hard way
A
I watched thos 3 times looking for the magic trick because there was no shadow puppets. Then came the comments. Thank you for helping me understand I’m not an astronaut.
C
Lol I was also confused there for a second
I
Winner of Best Unintentional Public Rolling Demonstration.
M
Plato’s cave?
L
“I’m gonna go up to the roof, where no one will see what I’m doing.”
T
I was waiting for kabutar fly instead he is preparing his launch 🚀. Fat one dude
C
That is very impressive
I
Well packed!

C
