The Frank Method

[sablebrush52]

You asked me why I was here.And I only commented or questioned why you had to say anything about me not liking one post

What you said was that I was bullying you and suggested that I don't have the right to post. You avoided responding to a question I asked in light of your continuing disparaging remarks about the membership here.

And as for the knowledge didn't more than a few say that didn't know what the Frank method was.And as for couth that's what's lacking by trying to justify what you are saying now

Really? So uncouth for asking you to justify your attacks on the members here? Then good for being uncouth.
You're having a nice temper tantrum. You're upset that others didn't rigidly follow your idea regarding how your post should go. So you take a nice running dump on everybody here and assume that you're justified in doing so. Whatever.

I agree Mike, somebody needs a big hug, and maybe something more. Deep breaths Cricket, deep breaths.

To all my fellow pipe brethren who have been wondering what the Harris method is, I will again post it for the umpteenth time.
If I am cube cutting a flake or plug or rope, I will cube it into about 1/4 to 1/2 inch cubes. I will then load my pipe to the top, then push it down some, load it up again and push a little firmer, load again and a little firmer. Now I will check the draw. I am looking for a certain amount of resistance as a loose pack is no good. If it is too tight I can just run a pipe cleaner into the bottom of the bowl to loosen it up. Now sometimes I might need to add a 4th bit of tobacco to get the exact resistance I am looking for but most times 3 and I am good.
Now for folding and stuffing a flake I will fold the flake the long way once and then in half and then push it into the pipe making sure I don't go to the bottom blocking the air hole. I want much less resistance here as the flake will expand. I then use some kindling on top and fire it up. Now for a cross cut tobacco I use the same method as my cube cut. The key to loading a pipe is making sure it is not too loose or not too tight. Too loose means a bowl that will smoke hotter than hell and too tight it won't smoke at all. The humidity of your tobacco is also a huge factor and you need to learn which blends need what humidity levels. Pipe smoking is an art and some people have the brush to succeed and some don't. If I can do it anyone can.

It is reasonable to suppose that the OP has more going on than frustration at a pipe forum post. Whatever it is I wish him calm resolution.

Sable you are unstable.I answered everything you asked.If standing up for my self is taking a dump come on manYou just mad you can't break a fella don't act a way then don't want to he called on it.Ive been proving your point of view unstable alllll day.I see how you work.Make three assumptions.When I shoot them down reword last and reask with different words but hold on I'll go paste and copy.Nevermind knowledge knowing something not knowing like at least 4 people didn't so people that had comments but didn't have knowledge that is a true statement.Someone knowing it is not the proper time for a statement or action yet still saying or performing said action is uncouth which Warren admitted.How many times are you gonna ask the same thing.So why did you ask me why was I here if I had opinions.

[warren]

Uncouth I'll readily answer to. Not sure what I'm back peddling from but, again it's your reality ... your world.
If you think I'm bullying you well, if that's your perception, it must be true. You have obviously never been seriously bullied.

 

[smokingcricket]

Yes I do.I do not mix well with bullies and people who will argue even tho they are wrong.At least Warren owns I respect that.These other guys get mad when you catch them in a lie.Also is reasonable you got a reason to chime in when you not been here all day?Please I can't wait to hear your thoughts because I have dodged threads like this and wish I wasn't in this one.But when you right you have to stand.

 

[smokingcricket]

Nope they never got the chance I put your type over the fence.So you are proud to be one with some back hand bragging.

 

[smokingcricket]

And I stopped them from picking on smaller kids and slower that's what I'm proud of.Its obvious you never tried to bully someone like me.

 

[smokingcricket]

You can bully with words.Anyway sable that should answer to why I said uncouth and no knowledge on the subject.You left that part out by the way.I said no knowledge on the subject .Next

 

[smokingcricket]

Ok rmpeeps.You killed the beast with knowledge.Thank you all for teaching some valuable lessons.I did not mean to offend only protect right to have your rights.

 

[warren]

I spent most of my career as a predator hunting predators. First I've been called a bully though.
Incidentally, I watched the videos of the "Frank Method" (12 minutes of my life I can't get back). I was exposed to that before Frank probably was born. And, here's an opening for you, I wouldn't light my pipe in his manner. Keep in mind I'm opining so it's not open for debate, only senseless arguing.
I can be couth, I was raised couth, I like couth, I simply chose today and you, apparently, to be uncouth to. Not intentionally though, you simply perceived my behavior as such. So again, your choice.

 

[beefeater33]

(full disclosure: I am a smartass/asshole, usually uncouth codger)
SmokingCricket, I'd suggest you fill out this form, and submit it. I truly hope its helpful to you, and thanks for the entertainment! Made my day!! :clap:

 

[smokingcricket]

You can't say it's not intentional in one sentence and I chose you in the next.Which is it?You choose to have it both ways.

 

[smokingcricket]

You can act how you want and only call it what people perceive it to be.So what do you call it.

 

[smokingcricket]

Did you get that report and name from your mom?

 

[smokingcricket]

Ooooohhh I can be to.What she name you after her favorite thing to do?

 

[beefeater33]

The report came from the internet......... and YEP!, Mom named me beefeater.......... None of those sissy vegetables for me! Eat more beef!!............ :D

 

[smokingcricket]

Why does people think codger equals asshole beefeater.Insert punk were you got codger.I was respectful to the others we were discussing a thread or post whatever.You come chiming in looking for gossip you get no respect.
