i hit a gong tonight

[Bob]

and it changed my life

i went to a party and at that party one of the people living in the house owned a gong, including the thing that you swing at the gong to make the gong make a gong sound. it wasn't a huge gong, but it wasn't a small gong either. i don't know enough about gongs to describe the size of the gong to you but if i had to try i'd describe it as a medium sized gong.

anyway the guy held up the gong and he handed me the gong-hitting thing and i wound up and i swung the motherfucker at the gong and it just felt amazing. i mean, i know you've all heard the sound of a gong before, but if you haven't hit a gong as hard as you can and heard the sound that the gong produces, i really don't know how to explain the feeling, it was a pretty remarkable thing. like, people heard the gong, and they came into the room and were like "is that a gong? let me try"

basically what i'm saying is, if life ever gives you the opportunity to hit a gong, don't pass on it, it's quite a thing. i can understand why china has so many people now

you could also swap the g in gong for a b and the above statement would also ring* true

I've never hit a gong but I really want to now. Is it better than sex?

*geddit?

[funk63]

Wow, I wouldn't even know where to go to get a gong.

[Bob]

i looked up "gong" on amazon and there's some stuff on there but i dunno about it

i asked the guy where he got it and he said he got it at a gong store in new york

god imagine if you were some starving chinese peasant back in the day of the warring kingdoms and the warlord of the geographical area in which you happened to be born was like "i am your king! fight and die for me!" and you were all like "i dunno i'd rather be vainly attempting to feed my family" but then the motherfucker hit a massive gong, you'd be like "whoa! i gotta kill something on behalf of the guy who just hit that gong"

it's a good thing gongs never caught on in the west or else we'd never stop killing each other

[roosta]

haha!

brilliant.

[Helvete]

Now, this is quite a thread. I am insanely jealous.

[Bob]

well alright i'm obviously exaggerating a little, it's not like i'm joining some kind of gong-based religion or anything but seriously, until you actually hit a gong with a gong paddle you will never know the pleasure of hitting a gong, it's really fucking cool. it's not just the sound, it's...i don't even know what it is, but there's definitely a huge difference between hearing a gong and hitting a gong, even if the exact same sound is at issue

[Knuckles]

I believe the correct term is "bang" a gong.

J.Arthur Rank is cockney rhyming slang for 'Wank' or to have a 'J.Arthur'

[ericlee]

I use a gong in one of my songs. It's a drum machine gong but damn does it sound real.

I also have a little bit of chimes.

Will Bob get excited by the giant gong in this video or will he just want to lay down next to the naked man and go to sleep...

I'm looking for gongs on ebay now.

[Bob]

I'm looking for gongs on ebay now.

seriously, it's now over 24 hours later and i'm still thinking about satisfying it was. i watched that youtube video of the big guy hitting the huge gong with the huge...gong mallet, i dunno what it's called and all i could think was "wow, i hope to do that one day" i couldn't even respond to the gay jokes

i mean look at the size of that gong! if you've ever hit a gong of any size you'd have a boner about the thought of hitting a gong that big too

[mikizee]

we should create a gong club

and hold a fundraiser so we can buy several gongs

[roosta]

I'm definitely gonna get a gong now.

There's this little knick-knack shop down the road where I get my meditation cushions and mats and every so often I get a wee Buddha to add to the collection. They should be able to hook me up.

I hit a small table top gong once. Frankly, I don't see what the big deal is.

Maybe you was hitting it wrong.

Bob, did you say 'Hold It Now' before hitting it? Or is that too geeky?

It gives you the feeling you are in The King & I ,before that slaphead Yul Brynner(the king dude) makes his entrance or something although I haven't seen it since yesterday so I can't be sure.

it probably wasn't a real gong

[Nuzzolese]

Bob, I didn't want to say anything before, but ever since you hit that gong you've been acting totally smug and, well, I'm saying this to you as a friend, ok? It's pissing everyone off. I'm sorry! But, it's like you think you're some kind of Gong expert or something. It's like, I don't mean to diss on your gong and stuff because I totally respect that. But who are you?

[Echewta]

There is a gong that is in the lobby of the building I work in. Its pretty awesome and different than most. Like totally custom and rusty looking. People use to hit it but now we have new management and its frowned upon now.

Most people don't warm up a gong before they hit it which is a percussion foul. Take the mallet and rub it in circles on the face of the gong or gently tap it to make it vibrate slightly. Then give it a good wack. You'll find much more gong satisfaction with this technique the pros use. Plus, if you do it in front of friends, they will think you are a gong pro.

I think the best way to hit a gong is with your schlong(y)
