Have You Hookah-ed?

Well, have you?  Hookah-ed, that is.  Maybe it's hookahed....or hooked.  I dunno, really, but hookah-ed is a past tense verb made out of a noun.  Can we do that?  Must be able to, because there it is....hookah-ed.  Past tense of "to hookah."

In case you've been living in McMurdo Station for the past few years, hookah is the the latest "thing."  Reportedly, (arguably), Middle Eastern in origin, a hookah is a water pipe...a glass or ceramic vessel filled with water, (or other flavorful liquids), and fitted with one or more hoses and a bowl on top, (which holds tobacco and hot coals).  When special hookah tobacco (shisha) is placed in the lower part of the bowl, and the heat of a coal is drawn over it, the ensuing smoke is filtered through the water in the vessel and delivered to the smoker as cool, flavorful, and aromatic.

More and more people are taking advantage of the hookah pipes and shisha in the store.  As word spreads, and people go beyond the old world stigma of what a hookah pipe might represent, they are enjoying a unique experience that lends itself well to relaxation and socializing.

So, if you're looking for something to do that's a bit more unusual than your usual evening entertainment, try hookah-ing.
