Thread Name: Bogart - Don't Bogart that joint.
Subject: RE: Bogart
Fascinating. It reminds me of a story I read of a director in 1980 trying to reconstruct what posters would have hung in a college dorm in 1968. Half the camera crew had been in such a dorm, and they almost came to fisticuffs disagreeing about what was historically accurate -- 12 years later! I was always told that "bogarting" ("told", of course, not that I would have ever invited Miss Lewinsky into my office) was holding the joint in your cupped hand as they do in the movies, and letting it slowly burn, not passing it on. yours, Peter T.
