Serenity

[toobfreak]

Whenever your day is just going badly, your favorite pipe has cracked, your wife just accidentally caught your best tobacco set out for drying with the vacuum, you can't find your lighter and you haven't a match in the house and no one on your street smokes, the TV has gone on the fritz 30 minutes before the big sunday game, and the relatives you hate have just dropped in unannounced after a long day just as you were sitting down to dinner, don't fret. Don't let the little things get to you! Just stare at this picture and breath deeply for a few moments and all will be well, my friend, all will be well.

Browncoats forever!

Sorry I'm thick headed, as Jay would say. "Browncoats"?

Thanks toob. I needed that. I spent the day cleaning out my mother-in-laws house and still have a lot more to go. She was a hoarder and is assisted living now. I hauled over a half ton of trash to the dump in five trips and moved heavy objects on and off trucks all day. I can't wait for tomorrow (uggh). All I wanted to do this weekend was to watch the golf tournament and instead I'm nursing a sore body. Your story and picture combined with my pipe has given me perspective.

Exactly what I thought this thread was about. But, the other kind of Serenity is OK too.

Serenity has always been my one word definition of pipe smoking!

That is a gorgeous picture toob. Do you live there? I would love to have a view like that from my house.

 

[toobfreak]

I only wish!

 

[Chasing Embers]

Me too. Though I would likely use up my sick days just to sit and look.

Isn't the "correct" answer to soothe your frustrations by taking advantage of the last 24 hours of 10% off pipes and tobacco site wide at Smokingpipes.com?

Revisiting Serenity at least once a year has become standard practice for me, but Serenity can't be enjoyed without a little Firefly first.

No my "serenity" from home looks like this.

Please excuse my ignorance but what is a 'browncoat'?
There you go Stan ::

Browncoat is a reference to the TV series Firefly and subsequent movie Serenity. The series rotates around a Firefly class ship called Serenity and a band of "space pirates". The captain and first mate of the crew are war veterans of a large space war and they fought on the side of the rebels who were referred to as the browncoats, due to their uniform coat color. The series was cancelled after one season, the movie was an effort to resurrect the show but it did not get enough interest from the execs to green light another season. Firefly still has a loyal set of fans, myself included who sometimes refer to themselves as Browncoats as well.

When you think about it, TV execs have historically fought most all of the exceptional TV shows.
