Anyone Looked at Themselves in a Mirror with their Pipes?

[Snow Hill]

Interesting thread. I really have never given "the look" too much thought.

 

[woodsroad]

Yes, but it's still that same good looking guy with the fedora. And it's B&W, too.

Ha ha Warren.

Nate, you always wear that hat when we go to bury the bodies. You should lighten up, find something more festive.
Actually, I haven't seen my reflection for about... ohhhh... 125 years now. ::

Alright! I went and looked in the mirror. As usual only my underwear show up, no image of my handsome countenance is reflected back from the mirror. I've never had a mirror which works. I've looked but, nothing in the stores work either. No reflection in windows or doors. Is it me?

 

[warren]

Cosmic: You stepped on my post.
Best I can do is a picture on the wall which appears to age as the years go by.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Sorry Warren, did I cover too many genres? Did you check the mail? ::

 

[warren]

Not yet today. I will after my appointment with the orthopedic surgeon.

I can't say I've went to a mirror intentionally, but the few times I've seen myself with a pipe I always think "Man what a goofy looking bald guy with a pipe." As I'm goofy looking and bald without a pipe, this come as no surprise.

I'm old.
I quit mirrors years ago.

So what is at issue here, how we think we look with our pipes to ourselves? Or how we look to others? I would offer that how we think we look to ourselves is irrelevant and we are hopeless biased anyway, and how we look to others, you can pretty well assume that to another pipe smoker, you will look great, to a non-smoker, you could be Don Juan smoking a $2000 Tom Eltang and they would still think you sucked. ::

When I'm contemplating buying a pipe in the shop I often look in the mirror the tobacconist supplies. Any tobacconist worth is salt will provide a mirror. I tend to not care what I look like unless I'm dressed up and around others

I find I look no better or worse. Not much you can do with this particular canvas.

I don't need a mirror to figure out what pipe "fits" or not. So I don't look. But I have done selfies with a pipe, OMG.

I tried shaving without a mirror. That didn't work well. Tomorrow I might try brushing my teeth with a pipe in my mouth. This mirror thing is difficult.

 

[jabo]

I don't even use a mirror when I shave. Photos of me is against federal law. And, yes Nate you are ridiculous ! Nice pipe !

 

[lifesizehobbit]

About the only time I use a mirror for anything beyond shaving is to: set the angle of my hat (depending on style), and to check my "gig" line (a military habit, never lost).
Other than that I imagine that with my pipe, I look a bit like Bilbo...

 

[eaglebleyes]

Sure and I saw one handsome SOB looking back at me!

 

[exterminatewho]

I think I look like a pretentious douche, but who cares. I love my pipes and tobaccos, so to hell with it! I'll look douchey all day if I have to.
And that's douch-EE, not douch-AY

 

[sablebrush52]

I don't like to look at myself in the mirror, ever. I keep wondering who's that saggy wrinkled bag of guts staring back at me.

A noun has to agree with their verb...... And subjects and its object should be in agreement.
