How brain-dead do you have to be to bid on something like this?
http://cgi.ebay.com/CLASSIC-CARVED-BRIAR-PIPE-BLANK-BOTTLE-OPENER-/130506824883?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e62d01cb3
From reading the description I got the impression that it was a briar rescue. It opens beer and the price of saving a nice carving from the fireplace is noble.
Does that look like briar to anyone ? Just looks like some tree limb he cut in the backyard. I got the impression the seller doesn't know what briar is, except that its what pipes are made out of.
