Jim's Latest William Conrad Pipe Acquisition.

[hawky454]

Sounds like Saddlebrush is a swell guy in real life. I need to start making friends in the pipe community! I’ve never been gifted a pipe, even from my wife.

 

[JimInks]

Here's the pipe.

 

[mackeson]

What a cool story. It looks and sounds like you guys had a great time.

 

[huntertrw]

Maybe it's just the influence of the pipes, but I am beginning to see a bit of resemblance between JimInks and Mr. Conrad:

Twin sons of different mothers?

 

[JimInks]

:rofl:
Geezz... and everybody always sez I look like Edward G. Robinson!!!

 

[jguss]

Jim, repeat after me:
"I'm that man. Matt Dillon, United States Marshal. The first man they look for and the last they want to meet. It's a chancey job - and it makes a man watchful - and a little lonely"

 

[JimInks]

Jon,

It's all true, buddy!

 

[jpmcwjr]

Up for best thread of the month! Jesse, old pal, I like Barlings, regardless who's smoked them.....

 

[sablebrush52]

You know, with Jim's appreciation for William Conrad's talent, this just seemed the right thing to do. Makes Jim happy, which makes me happy. Simple as that.

 

[weezell]

I think the only thing stopping Jim's grin was his EARS!!! Nice stuff guys, God Bless Both of you.... :D

Great story Jim. The pipe looks awesome. Just wondering - did his character in Cannon or Jake & The Fatman ever smoke a pipe?

 

[JimInks]

Cannon did smoke a pipe. I only remember seeing him smoke a cigar as "The Fat Man". Maybe somebody remembers better than I do?
Reminds me of a story. An extra was on the side of the set at lunch time, and told somebody he was a life long William Conrad fan, and could the guy introduce him to Conrad. When they approached the table where Conrad was sitting, Conrad had a doughnut in one hand, and a cigar in the other. He put the cigar down to shake hands. He wasn't letting go of the doughnut.

That's a helluva gesture there. Jim, much congratulations. Sable, good on you and do you need another friend? I'm available.

Thank you! I've sobered up, so my pipe giving is done for this year. But I'll let you know next time I go on a bender...

 

[theloniousmonkfish]

No problem, got nothing but time. Just reach out when you next feel sanity slipping away and I'll be there to catch whatever you got... And don't limit yourself to just pipes, well aged tobacco makes a great gift during benders.

 

[jguss]

that wasn't really a bender, jesse; i saw jim slip a roofie in your diet pepsi. if it's any consolation it was a vintage roofie, made by j&f bell in 1952.

 

[theloniousmonkfish]

Would a vintage quaalude have similar effect?

 

[sablebrush52]

Oh...well...
As long as it wasn't a contemporary roofie. They don't make 'em like that anymore.
