Family Insults

[puff_not_snuff]

Social scientist surveying online comments have a very hard time with sarcasm, throws their results off. I remember reading an article about it, and how frustrated they were, because you still need human intervention to decipher if something is sarcasm or not, which hinders their ability to just search for key words.

Some people have a hard time with sarcasm in person so no doubt it often poorly translates online.

Yes, but usually for an exchange of some value or other.

Chicks dig old guys for their pipe tobacco???

 

[romaso]

From what I understand tobacco was discovered in America by the native people that held it as a sacred process of smoking. Not concerned with age. It kind of funny how many pipe smokers have ritual in the smoking of their pipes.

I'm re-reading Carl Ehwa's, The Book of Pipes & Tobacco and the history, like you mention, is very interesting. Highly recommended.

Hey folks, how would you react for such speeches ? I think people just think stereotypes rule the world, nothing more.

I much prefer to think of pipes as a "Dad" thing, physiologically Nicotine (and the carcinogens from smoke in general) does have an impact on your genetic health and technically the human race will be most healthy of people don't consume Nicotine until after they're done having kids.

Lot's of folks, including my family tell me stuff like that. Flat caps, cardigans, pipes, baggers... they are for old geezers. I'm 42 but I've got a lot of miles on me.

you can insult my family all you want. I'll put it this way, after people get to know my family they're shocked that I am a functional human being without a garden of human bones. Now my brother leave him alone he's a bit off but he's a good guy and impressive with a guitar.

We may be related.

I hope not. I just can't stand to hear about such extra misery.

There are more young pipers than you might suspect. I myself just started the hobby and I was born in the 80s.

You guys are a bunch of kids. I was born the day the marines invaded the island of Saipan in WWII.
