U R 1 stylish MOFO !

OK I'll stop now.

BRB going to check SP for the latest SB CD's ; SBBL and SBMF.

But they don't ship to AUS, only CONUS.

PITA but that's life.

YMMV

I’m going to have to start posting from my computer if We are going to spell everything out. It’s hard enough to fat finger EMP and other acronyms- the alternative is daunting

If you "lifers" ain't figured out these silly acronyms by now, what the hell are you doing with your life?

I don't use them very often, I'm ashamed to say that I do at all.. Seems like the kind of thing teenage girls like to do.

That being said, for shits sake.. If you've been reading this forum for 10 years and you don't know what PA, Or ODF are, then you a dummy..

Especially since there is a sticky thread about this.


For the new guys.. Do what I did, google it. Or read the sticky thread.

Now, STFU.

STFU= "Shut the fuck up", so back atcha.

Not for the lifers, but everyone, esp the newcomers. It's not a lot to ask, as almost nobody knows the abbreviation for every damn blend. You might even say it's courteous.

You can always lean on your BFFs over here.. YMMV



**That YMMV took me years to figure out, and once I did it still doesn't really make sense. Weird how these things spread.. Makes sense for cars, but not so much for pipe advice.

I wouldn't even if I could. No bones to pick. But it's not the first time I read something wrong!
P & O
not the shipping line, but:

Peace and out!

Learning the lingo is one of the things that hooks me into a new hobby.
Joining a new forum, seeing people posting new words and wondering "WTH does this mean" makes you dig deeper imo.

You can search "{insert phrase here} site:pipesmagazine.com" on Google to figure most things out.
