Not so Newbie from Nevada

[gatorlope]

At least I was born there.

Currently from South Florida, but it’s getting kind of crowded these days!

I’ve been collecting pipes for decades, mostly briars and meerschaums and some that just appealed to me for pure funkiness!
Once I figure out how to post some pictures, I’ll share some of my collection with y’all!

Gator, welcome. I'm Born and Raised and still in Las Vegas.

 

[gatorlope]

BTW, I have managed to put a few pics in my album with my profile!

Hey, Ashdigger! That’s my home town! 8)

 

[trudger]

Bring on the funk Gator!

 

[gatorlope]

Okay, I just posted a picture of my cast bronze hookah in my album. Something very different from all the brass and glass you’ll see online!

Welcome

Welcome from Texas!

 

[gatorlope]

Thanks, guys!

Just curious, are we all guys here or do we have a few ladies that enjoy an occasional pipeful?

 

[gatorlope]

Still a newbie, I reckon...

Trying to move some photos to photobucket, so I can post them to the forums, but it doesn’t seem very user friendly.

gator', I think Forums needs a specifically funky pipe guy. I'm a bit of a scavenger for low-priced and sale-priced pipes, besides having some more up-market pipes, but none are intentionally and discerningly funky. So I feel you are needed here. Educate us, if you will, on the genre, what you like and what you look for. Members will grumble and disagree, but it's fresh air.

Funky it is,then!

I’ ve got to master the trick with pics, though!

How about a red clay pipe that I brought back from Mexico? (Scarlet!)

The bowl is a pop eyed devil face with a huge nose and Dumbo ears!

Progress! At least I’ve learned that there are different avatars for the web site and for the forums. Just in case you can’t tell, I’m a serious coffee drinker!

We have a few women who participate from time to time. I would like to hear more from them.

Okay, guys, here’s a face to go with the name...

 

[gatorlope]

Here’s my two favorite smokers - an Alpha sitter from Israel and a Ben Wade/Preben Holms freehand.

My funkier pipes are still coming, but at least I can do the photos now!
