In Praise of mso489

[sparrowhawk]

I wanted to take a moment to thank that worthy gentleman, mso489, for his many tipsI over the years. I've adopted many items of advice, particularly wiping out the bowl of a pipe, preserving the bowl interior and rim, and my new Waterfords have never been better. So for that tidbit of advice and much more, I hope others recognize your great value to this forum.

Yeah, he’s a pretty good guy, ain’t he? I enjoy the stories, myself. He turned me onto a few tobaccos I probably would’ve never tried otherwise, also. I say we keep him. ??

Last I heard BROBS was getting a tattoo of MSO489

I enjoy the the interesting topic-of-conversation threads he initiates. It's very refreshing to have conversation in the community that isn't about the same things, over and over.

He’s the best thread-starter on the forum.

As a fellow burley lover, I appreciate his appreciation of burley.

He's a great guy, but we need to pull him out of his shell a bit. He's just so shy!!!

Thoughtful and and kind soul. He epitomizes the gentlemanly tradition.

Amen

Blush, shuffle, snuffle. Thank you very much fellow members. I probably rattle a little too much, but I'm glad some of it is appealing in one way or another. I seldom log on Forums without learning something from you, which keeps me coming back. We're a great variety of people with a good conversation going. Thank you again. And thank you sparrowhawk for thinking of this thread.

The "P-TAD" thread last week

I enjoy his musings as well.

He's a good man, and a great asset to this forum. And a good guy to chat with at pipe shows.

I want you to be my honorary grandpa.

We know you love French pipes, because they smoke way above their price point.

I too enjoy his musings (as @lawdawg put it) and get a giggle out of some of them. Keep up the good work @mso489

Of course, I had to show this thread to my wife, and she was much pleased. Then I showed her the cat thread and she fell in love with all the cats and admired them at length. So for everyone who posted photos and comments on that thread, you have a true fan. Commend all your cats on their new ardent fan base.

SHOW HER THIS

SHOW HER THIS

That sure beats the hell out of Mike Tyson's Che Guevara tattoo.

 

[PipesRock]

I totally agree. The gentlemanly life and pipe wisdom from mso is very much appreciated!!

Just to even things out a bit. I personally think he should be locked up the key thrown out and all his pipes and keyboards seized and stored far far away. You know just to play devils advocate.
