I wish I could remember the guy's name but a few years ago, we had a member who posted this smooth bent egg or maybe a blowfish... anyways, he had posted in progress pics, and it had these beautiful splotchy colorations come up on the sides of the bowl, and it had a mottled cloud-like formation. I haven't seen one color quite like his. I wish that I could remember a name or something to search for it by. Seems like he was on a beach or something. Anyways, I haven't seen another one color quite like his did.

Love these kinds of threads. For the meer porn if nothing else. I always assumed you only saw really beautifully colored old meers because these days everyone has so many pipes. That back in the day you'd buy one meer and just smoke it multiple times a day. After 10-15 years it would be richly colored.

But maybe not, I'm really interested to see how the cake theory turns out. Anything that reinforced my innate laziness is good in my book.
