The Lovely Squash Of Low-Slung Squatters

I've really been getting into squat shapes as of late, like bigtime, and I've been looking at a lot of them. They're sometimes called "squashed", but "squat" seems to be in more popular usage.
Anybody else here dig the squat stuff?
Here's a small visual compilation from the SmokingPipes archive - I chose images from there because they offer such a wide spectrum to browse through as well as good specs, plus, SmokingPipes.com rules!
I consider anything under 40mm bowl height to be squat.
Perhaps the most iconic squat of all time is the Dunhill bulldog,

a stone cold classic.

even better than the Bo Nordh BooDog!

Darwin - Although I've always loved long and poetic album titles, like Tyrannosaurus Rex with "My People Were Fair and Had Sky in Their Hair but Now They're Content to Wear Stars on Their Brows" or Killdozer with "Intellectuals are the Shoeshine Boys of the Ruling Elite", I must admit to not being familiar with Traffic, but I think it's very cool you tipped us off to the similarity --- I'm always interested in the process of referencing that an engaged reader undergoes and all the personal/cultural implications of such.
Like reading Finnegans Wake, the reader can find every single thing we now know, but Joyce was writing it in the 20's and it wasn't published until 1939...

How could Joyce have known about the coming computer revolution? Res ipsa loquitor. How could he have known about the invention of L.S.D., three letters that recur throughout the Wake (pp. 68, 107, and 260 are only three examples), or the detonation of the atom bomb (on p. 353) and the subsequent destruction of Nagasaki (“nogeysokey” on p. 315)? Robert Anton Wilson, co-author of the best-selling Illuminatus! Trilogy, has even gone so far as to suggest that Joyce anticipated the structure of DNA in Ulysses over thirty years before Watson and Crick made their discovery (Wilson 169-70). But why should that be a surprise? After all, we know for a fact that Joyce discovered the quark (Joyce 383).

"In the heliotropical noughttime following a fade of transformed Tuff and, pending its viseversion, a metenergic reglow of beaming Batt, the bairdboard bombardment screen, if tastefully taut guranium satin, tends to teleframe and step up to the charge of a light barricade. Down the photoslope in syncopanc pulses, with the bitts bugtwug their teffs, the missledhropes, glitteraglatteraglutt, borne by their carnier walve. Spraygun rakes and splits them from a double focus: grenadite, damnymite, alextronite, nichilite: and the scanning firespot of the sgunners traverses the rutilanced illustred sunksundered lines. Shlossh ! A gaspel truce leaks out over the caeseine coatings. Amid a fluorescence of spectracular mephiticism there caoculates through the inconoscope stealdily a still, the figure of a fellowchap in the wohly ghast, Popey O’Donoshough, the jesuneral of the russuates. The idolon exhibisces the seals of his orders: the starre of the Son of Heaven, the girtel of Izodella the Calottica, the cross of Michelides Apaleogos, the latchet of Jan of Nepomuk, the puffpuff and pompom of Powther and Pall, the great belt, band and bucklings of the Martyrology of Gorman. It is for the castomercies mudwake surveice. The victar. Pleace to notnoys speach above your dreadths, please to doughboys. Hll, smthngs gnwrng wthth sprsnwtch! He blanks his oggles because he confesses to all his tellavicious nieces."

It really is great to read it aloud,

or listen to it read aloud,

even better,

a cinematic version!

I've always dug the dandies, especially Billy Childish.
No, I ain't never seen nobody smoke an Eskimo, it'd be interesting to watch.
