***What Are You Smoking, July 2021?***

I've twisted the old maxim about football vs. rugby
("football is a game for gentlemen played by hooligans and rugby is a game for hooligans played by gentlemen")
to
"Football is a game played by gentleman watched by hooligans"
View attachment 87597

That laser stunt was dangerous and the act of a fool and a coward, I sincerely hope the perpetrator is jailed for that.
I couldn’t agree more with your conclusion, a hooligan indeed.

Just so you know, I am a proud member of the 119th Fighter Wing of the Happy Hooligans, Fargo, North Dakota. This moniker was bestowed upon the first Hooligans who flew P51s in support of B17s in WW2 stationed in Great Britain.

Please understand we’re using it in the old English sense applied to the violent Victorian street gangs and not towards servicemen and women for whom we have the greatest of respect, especially from that generation.

A belated happy birthday to Crawdad and many many more. I’m just about done with Rattray’s Black Virginia in a BC Ventose. I’ll be moving on to Revor Plug in the white leather Longchamp billiard with slimline stem. The colour had almost completely faded on the leather so I gave it a little whitewash yesterday to bring it back to its original glory.

What's the saying again: a bowl from a Doctor's a day keeps the apple away?

Slow rainy Friday morning, catching up on 50 pages!! of this thread already and enjoying a bowl of 30/70 mixture of Luxury Bullseye Flake and McC's Holiday Spirit in this Doc's Bamboozled Ringblast Brandy...:

Almost done with this bowl of Warped Cloud Hopper in my ‘gar leaf cob. Hanging out with Scout on the back porch.

Before walking in to work I've decided to take advantage of this wonderfully mild morning with a bowl of C&D John Marr in the Northern Briars Regal G1 Panel. One of my favorite knock-around pipes.

But I'm currently smoking '19 CRF in a Pioneer Block meer Calabash that he gifted me out of the kindness of his great big animal lovin' heart!
Here's to BROBS?

Back to lurking for me.

Starting off my smoking day with a bowl of circa year 2000 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Big surprise, isn't it?
