PAD & TAD?

[tarak]

Could someone help me out with what PAD and TAD means?

 

[pruss]

Pipe Acquisition Disorder & Tobacco Acquisition Disorder
Wherein we hobbyists manufacture imaginary mental illnesses to rationalize our inability to keep our money in our bank accounts, our spouses happy, and our pipe-racks and tobacco drawers empty.

For future reference hit the "Tobaccos & Abbreviations" link. It is in the top right corner in orange font on the forums front page. Link below.

PAD & TAD are not my only disorders! I also have GAAD = Gun & Ammo Aquisition Disorder. I currently have around 30 guns and I keep lots of ammo on hand to feed them! And then there's BAD= Book Aquisition Disorder. I have several hundred of those as well. Anything by Clive Cussler I gotta have. I'm currently reading the complete Sherlock Holmes collection. And there's another GAD = Guitar Aquisition Disorder. I suck at playing them, but I have several of them as well. If I had a lot more money I'd probably have MAD = Motorcycle Aquisition Disorder as well! Still waiting to win the lottery for that one! I guess the old V-Star will have to do for now.

Without success, I keep trying to rename them PTT, Pipe and Tobacco Therapy.

I see from your avatar that you're a fellow guitar player. If you go to guitar message boards I'm sure you've heard people speaking of GAS (Guitar/Gear Acquisition Syndrome). Same idea...PAD is for Pipes, TAD is for Tobaccos.
