Stalker Research Tools​

here are a couple of tools that folks might find useful in researching their victim giftee. Most of you know about these, but here goes, anyways:
1. Read their previous posts. By clicking on their screen name on one of their posts, you'll be linked to their user profile. There, you will find a hyperlinked list of their recent posts.
2. Search the PM Forum. By clicking here, you'll go to a Google custom search page that only looks at the Pipesmagazine.com forums. Handy.

WooHoo!

1) Nice Dan! Its only fitting that you should get the first box
2) take in your pumpkin already, Halloween is over :D

 

[woodsroad]

Halloween is over? You mean I have to take my wig off?

 

[beefeater33]

Nice picture Dan!..........

I'll be sending my package out the 1st week of December..........

 

[crashthegrey]

Wow, what's the word for the opposite of procrastination. You all are it. Share and Enjoy.

 

[woodsroad]

Where'd my picture go?

 

[mikethompson]

I still see the pumpkin Dan.

Wrapping the gift in Christmas paper solves the problem. Recipient can open the box, see the package inside, and then put that under the tree -- or at least know what it is.

 

[woodsroad]

Funny, it diesn't show up in Safari on my iPhone.

Dan, the link isn't working, I can't see the picture either (actually the link doesn't open). If you PM me the link of the picture, I will replace the older one with it.

Gift received, replete with excoriating remarks written on the parcel detailing what will happen if opened prior to December 25th.
I have removed the box to the safety of the pipe cave which is currently being dismantled in advance of our upcoming trans-global move. I will, in all likelihood, open this prior to Christmas Day, as I will be homeless after December 19. I'm gonna go ahead and pick one of those eight crazy nights to examine and put fire to the contents.
Thank you, Santa, for your threats thoughtfulness.
Thank you also for allowing me to receive my gift before Davet.

Javan, that photo (and every other photo of mine on this site) is hosted by Fotki. It appears that the Fotki site has been down for over two days now. Either that Argentine sub severed the fiber cable to their servers, or I fear that their business model finally caught up to them.

I love the remark 'Spoiler Alert! Does not contain a Dunhill Pipe' and a large spring loaded snake shoots out of the box when opened accompanied by a loud fart sound! :rofl:

Thank you also for allowing me to receive my gift before Davet.

Just placed the order for my target. I'm hoping I hit a bullseye here.

 

[pruss]

Fire in the hole!
I thought this was apropos given the holiday:
