What would you call this shape?

[cosmicfolklore]

Hey now, two things we don’t do on the forums, is call someone’s pipe or wife ugly, even if they are. Babies and pets are open season though. ::

Have you tried rotating the stem to see if it looks better?

Based on that shank, “Thick As A Brick”.

If you go there, might as well call it "Jethro" (one man's opinion). :mrgreen:

I have, and when I do, the top and bottom of the stem and shank will not line up. I think that's the way it's meant to be.

I call it just plain ugly. JMHO.
Remember, ugly is in the eye of the beholder, and since I be holding this pipe for the moment, I think it looks "interesting", that, and it would make a nice blunt force weapon incase someone's ugly dog attacks me.

Whew, I was starting to think that you made it.

I might call the pipe Eleanor, but only with her personal permission.

Sorry, no disrespect meant...for me it would not "be attractive". JMHO. And right you are, Cosmic.

I guess so! Maybe it's the photo, but the stem looks distorted. You could bend it to be straight....

It is a 'nosewarmer' pot, imho. The stem's slight curve helps some to clench, might have been a modification, easily straightened, if so desired.

Tom, I'm with you -- it looks roller derby. "Built like a 'frigerator with a head. Her fans call her Tuffy, but all her buddies call her Spike."
