Kank in a Tank

[Jerzy Bondov]

Have you seen Altered States? Recommend watching that before you go in.

Wife went to a "salt cave" recently. Just a room lined with Himalayan pink salt blocks.
$100 for her and a friend to sit on lawn chairs in a pinkish-brown room for an hour.
Nice grift on the part of the woo merchants.

Not wishing to derail the thread overmuch, but Mrs TTT recently purchased one of these pink salt block lamps. I had been licking it for weeks until she told me it simply sits in the room and gives off good vibes. Dont tell her but it worked better when I was licking it.

You'll also be very aware of any little cuts or nicks you have on your body as the water is full of an immense amount of salt, that will take your mind off things as you float away in a ball of agony.

I was going to add this but forgot. I think K is probably in the tank already but don't worry about that - they give you vaseline to rub over any you know of. All the others you "discover" once you are floating around in agony - just get out and seal up.

Droitwich Brine Baths used to be much worse for this as your whole body was initially submersed until you exploded out of the water like a Los Angeles class submarine performing an emergency surfacing.

The bulb burnt out in ours last week and there has not been a noticeable dropoff in good vibes so I think the power of the salt must be absolutely immense.

They did. I cut my armpit shaving so just as well.

It was...interesting. I wasn't tripping balls but I did feel like I was inside some kind of womb. And I felt detached from my body. I kept playing with my hair cos it's quite long and was floating around me.

[paruses]

Yea - it's not mind blowing but I really enjoy the disorientation and relaxation side. Enforced nothingness is hard to find for me so paying someone to seal me in a pod is acceptable.

I'd forgotten you are Liverpool-way. That's sort of easiest for me - would you recommend them?

[Kankurette]

Manchester, but it's not far from Liverpool. And yes. It's not hard to get to, it's near New Islington tram stop (on the way to the Etihad).

[Pink Gregory]

Thanks, Kank, for your tales from the Tank.

Thkank

ah, it's a Manc tank

What's that supposed to do for you then?

Do you get cured?

[flotemysost]

Get in there with a load of paperwork that needs doing, you r mind will start dissasociating before you know it

On it already cheers, working from home has been brilliant for this.

I remember someone once telling me that if you ever go in the Dead Sea you have to be careful not to get any splashed in your face, as it's so salty it'll make your eyeballs explode. Clearly bollocks but it terrified me at the time.

I bought one of these from Oxfam's Sourced range (for all its hippy woo connotations, a lot of Himalayan salt apparently isn't harvested very ethically - same with crystals and the like), not really feeling any physiological benefits (though I haven't licked it yet, tbf) but it looks quite nice.

[Kankurette]

It did sting a little. They have a spray bottle of water in case you do get it in your eyes.

Wtf are the rock salt rooms for?

[Brundle-Fly]

Naa, too much like this.

[Jittlebags]

Meester Fawlty... He put me in a coffin.

[chveik]

Wtf are the rock salt rooms for?

it's a grift

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

Shave your head before you go then you can pretend to be that girl from Minority Report.

[Dex Sawash]

I put an LED bulb in the salt lamp. Pretty sure that tech is neutralizing the good vibes of the Himalayan salt, will have to get another Edison bulb to restore balance.

[PlanktonSideburns]

it's a grit

[Gurke and Hare]

Supermatch game!

[Echo Valley 2-6809]

Imagine approaching a state of total relaxation when suddenly a load of green gunge drops on to you.
Muffled sound of several people laughing, Noel Edmonds opens the tank cackling his beard off.

Sorry, but that's going to cross your mind next time you're in one.

[Kankurette]

I'd look like a female version of Jose Luis Chilavert.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

Oh dear. Don't bother with that then. Just have a wank.

[idunnosomename]

Rednex comeback single "underwhelming"

[idunnosomename]

Remember what I was thinking of now

[Kankurette]

Oh dear. Don't bother with that then. Just have a wank.

You jest, but I considered it. I didn't though.
