Are You Guys Taking This Seriously Enough?

[npod]

Don’t worry kids, Michael is drinking again. He didn’t mean what he said. :mrgreen:

You lost me at waking up at the crack of dawn.

All pipe techniques are handed down from StarCat to Haja to us.

 

[ssjones]

I just made a decision this evening - run, or smoke a pipe and catch up on the internets. I really enjoyed a bowl of MM965

 

[jpmcwjr]

I'm in the process of making a 1,625 minute video to demonstrate this.

Fixed that for ya. To more accurately reflect you tube pipe tutorial standards.

Hah! Either time is way over my preferred time of three minutes or less.....

 

[tschiraldi]

Dude! That green stuff is NOT tobacco! Put your kid's stash back where you found it!

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Ha ha, no... I was just visiting a FB pipe page and they were all being so very serious, so I thought that I’d up our game over here. Encourage less lollygaging and loitering about with our pipes. Whip this place into shape. Or, should we be more open to new ideas... softer?

 

[prairiedruid]

Or, should we be more open to new ideas... softer?

Says the man with the riding crop.....

Life is too short for losers

Who are you & what have you done with our perpetually genial & unfailingly affable gentleman Cosmic??

 

[npod]

Ah forgot about the FB group. We are winning! Bigly.

 

[heeman]

Down to 27 relights thought i was doing good

 

[cosmicfolklore]

See, I could pat you on the back and say, "relights are par for the course." Or, I could say, "keep trying, you will be smoking without relighting if you just keep focused." Maybe smack you with the riding crop a few times to... help.
Which works best? leaving the impression that relighting is OK? ...giving the impressions that it is something that every pipe smoker has to do... 27 times a smoke? Or, encouraging someone to try to do better?

 

[heeman]

Not only should this pertain to pipe smoking but to life in general losers dont get trophies ha serious enough now

 

[sablebrush52]

Serious? You ladies think THIS is serious? Where's the pocket drill, damn it? You're not a serious pipe smoker until you can stick a lit pipe in your pocket, duck into a theater to watch a Three Stooges marathon, then pull the pipe from your pocket and keep smoking WITHOUT A RELIGHT! DO YOU HEAR ME, LADIES?
And if you're REALLY SERIOUS you can do this EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE NO POCKETS BECAUSE YOU BURNED THROUGH ALL OF THEM! YOU CAN STICK THAT PIPE SOMEWHERE ELSE, WATCH A THREE STOOGES MARATHON, EXTRACT THAT PIPE, AND CONTINUE SMOKING WITHOUT A RELIGHT! DO YOU HEAR ME, LADIES? DO YOU HEAR ME? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!

 

[hawky454]

Ah yes, I needed a good pep talk! And who better a man to do it than good ol’ cosmic. :rofl:

 

[npod]

:rofl: @sablebrush52

 

[skydog]

I seriously try not to take anything in life too serious. As long as my enjoyment of the activity is serious then I guess that's serious enough for me.

 

[tennsmoker]

Relights? Really?

I just reload!

 

[mothernaturewilleatusallforbreakfast]

Can we get serious here? Are you taking pipe smoking seriously? Can anyone provide me with a video on packing? I can't decide which method is best? Not in general, but for each of my 100 pipes as unique vessels for tobacco smoking, additionally, taking into consideration the 100 different blends I keep dedicated to each individual pipe. Should I pack my chimney black blasted billiard using the three pinch method with GL Pease Union Square the same way I pack my squat bent Bakelite stemmed Romney Child handmade, or should I use the Frank Method for that?

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Punishment for mentioning the Frank Method is that you must only use the Frank Method. ::
