In Defence of WAYS

[Zero]

OK. Now go write a dissertation.

Yep! What's a dissertation?

I am glad you posted this. I , too, have read posts where individuals have maligned the WAYS thread as well as its posters, using diminishing statements to undercut the credibility of the posters as being people who feel the need to show off a new pipe, or perhaps feeling the need to be in a beauty contest.

I’ve somehow completely missed the disapproving posts. I truly hope those adversely affected by the WAYS thread can find the courage to ask for help getting to a safe space….or just stop reading the WAYS thread.

As for showing off, I freely admit I take the opportunity to rub everyone’s face in my stable of $100 Savinellis and 2 “nice” pipes. That’s how I’m prosperin!!!

Ask @Brewfan - those following WAYS may know he finished and defended one! And if I’m mistaken that’s such a worthless thread.

I would, but he didn't respond to me with a thumbs up, laughing, or love emoji And I'm kinda depressed finding out that I'm smoking a tobacco that has fallen out of favor My Christmas is looking pretty shitty

I honestly am not sure if you're being serious, but I agree "likes" are what poisoned social media. But this isn't a social media site...

...wait a minute...

I like the original WAYS thread, but the other WAYS thread (Where Are You Smoking) gets a little graphic. Like, I really don’t need to see you smoking in the shower, dude (you know who you are)…

I’m just grateful this exists.

I agree "likes" are what poisoned social media.

I agree with this although I’ve used it plenty, along with the even worse “love” button, all with good intentions.

To all you posters on the WAYS thread, just assume that I like your posts and keep on keeping on.

Besides, how many times can you resurrect the same dead horse and beat it again and again?

As a horse owner myself, I can definitely tell you that the answer is, unsurprisingly, 42. Although it's tough to even make it to double digits before you get taken into custody.

LOL - a few years ago on a dream trip with the wife a guy we needed some help from at a place in North Berwick responded to my question - “can you call me a taxi” with “Alright, you’re a taxi” - almost fell over laughing (won’t waste space with more context) and was afraid my wife was going to wet her pants - he looked and talked like the love child of Gary Player and Michael Palin and beyond the sense of humor was one of the most accommodating people I’ve ever met. Laughing just thinking about
it.

This joke wouldn't have been possible without WAYS. A perfect point why it is cool to share what we are smoking and get to be social without derailing other threads. This point is almost as perfect as the points on my clay pipe stems

We need to commission Jim to ink you as a superhero, Tate!

Yep.
Wait, I've written 110 page literary thesis, can I get credit for that?

Heck yeah!!
