I've posted this elsewhere, but recently dug it up because I had forgotten about it.
It's a little nerdy or obsessive maybe, but whatever, I'm a total superfreak, LOL
Ever since I was a kid I've been a listmaker. Recently I attempted to compile a list of all known monikers for sandblasted pipes because that's became my main focus. The names themselves which have been applied as such also charm me to no end, how can one resist the allure of the Ruff Root, PreHistoric or Fossil?
Here is the list I've gathered so far, any and all additions are most welcomed, as well as corrections because some of these may not be accurately applicable.
