Threads That Go Poof in the Night

[theloniousmonkfish]

"It's a ton of fun in it's original European form, as well as the places in the U.S. that celebrate it, like Buffalo and Cleveland."
Fun? Buffalo and Cleveland? You must be from Youngstown.

 

[aldecaker]

I wish I were from a place as vibrant and full of hope as Youngstown.

 

[theloniousmonkfish]

I admire your candor.

I'm still just trying to figure out what this thread is about! :mrgreen: We are debating and discussing a thread that does not exist that few people saw that we don't want to rehash or go back into because most of us don't know what it involved anyway?

 

[ashdigger]

Toob, we're discussing a discussion that was discussed and then disappeared amid discussions of discourse. Did I dis anything?

 

[mayfair70]

Toob - It's about threads that go "Poof" and the hopes and dreams of pipesters everywhere. Is pipester a word?

Fun? Buffalo

When the kids were little we did a spring getaway weekend to Toronto to spend a day with Vesz another hanging out at Thomas Hines and the la Casa. Sunday at the falls and the highlight was a rowdy dyngus day at the Anchor Bar on the way home. 8O

Hipsters? Pipesters? I see another an entirely different discussion developing.
Can a pipester be a hipster? I know hipsters try to be pipesters. Well, what exactly is a pipester? A hipster with a pipe?

 

[mayfair70]

Well, what exactly is a pipester? A hipster with a pipe?

I hope not. I think it is a word for good looking, intelligent, pipe smokers with good taste in women and alcohol. That is a guess. Did I just coin it? Feels like it is wrong somehow. Sorry. :roll:

Maybe this will help: You can think of it metaphorically as Lord Summerisle vs the Grand Inquisitor.

 

[toobfreak]

warren, I think a pipester can be a hipster but I am not sure a hipster can be a pipster.

[warren]

Does a pipester have to wear the nutty looking wee hat?

 

[warren]

Sorry! I've been into the port already.

 

[woodsroad]

In much the same manner that astonomers seek out black holes by observing the behavior of matter lying in relative close proximity....

 

[ashdigger]

It's mind over matter. I don't mind because it doesn't matter.

Is pipester a word?

I say pipester is a word. Therefore it is a word.

Did I just coin it?

No. I've used it for years. Somebody probably used it before me. However, I us it only with reference to pipe smokers.
The Urban Dictionary gives this thunderingly stupid definition:
"A parent hipster. More pretentious than hipsters because they now think their life has purpose."
How ironic.
BTW, I say "thunderingly" is an adjective. Therefore it is an adjective.

How pipestery of you.

 

[sablebrush52]

How pipestery of you.

Indeed, though pipesterly rolls more trippingly on the tongue.
