I'm Not a Pipe Snob

[bnichols23]

don't have to be rich to be a snob, just discerning... with a judgmental attitude

Yeah, with emphasis mostly on that last. Done hit the hail on the Ned.

"permanent party"

Tom, you've been hanging around those folks from Ft. Bragg too long. }

I have been smoking the coins rather regularly. They deliver a very fine smoke. I'll be buying a few more and getting Lucite stems upfront.

I am a discerning pipe snob! I am absolutely sure my pipes are better than anybody else owns. I write this with nose a bit elevated and a disdainful sneer. And, my position is absolutely unassailable as it is a personal opinion, arrived at with no real thought or research, achieved simply by thinking only of myself coupled to a complete faith in my own, perfectly developed, infallible tastes and discernment. And, long time readers know that I am not the least bit judgmental.
I am, indeed, the master of my wee universe. Excepting only those to whom I must pay "to Caesar what is Caesar's." Caesar has more guns. I'm pragmatic not, suicidal or in search of martyr status.
For those of you in Loma Linda, the above is mostly sarcasm. Readers may pick and judge what is truth and what is, most surely, sarcastic.

Thank Heavens you're not an undiscerning pipe snob! That would be tragic or a tragedy.*
* 50 years ago, "tragic" meant a noble character was brought down by some inherent tragic flaw in his makeup. The play was called a tragedy. Now I hear newscasters describing a dog injured by an automobile as a tragedy. Now, that is tragic! :twisted:

Dogs can have flaws, and chasing cars is as good as chasing windmills. ::

 

[warren]

Humans think dogs have flaws. Dogs know they have no flaws, only flawed owners which they constantly try to improve. Dogs with flaws! Hurrumph!

Or chasig chasing embers. ::

But horribly spelt.

Personally I see nothing wrong with that outlook on life. Mine's the same. Better, of course, but.... :twisted:
As far as dawgs, I've seen more than a few that chased parked cars. One of them caught one one time & had no idea what to do with it.

 

[warren]

Better, of course, but....

Highly unlikely! Possible? Maaaybe ... Doubtful though.

 

[bnichols23]

Doubtful though.

Well, of course.
I ALWAYS have doubts about other people's judgment. :mrgreen:
