Who In History Would You Most Like To Share A Bowl With?

[cshubhra]

I don’t know whether many historical figures smoke a pipe. The name that came to mind who I know used to smoke a pipe is Einstein. After reading the lists of others I got one or two more names. So the list is this

1. Einstein
2. Darwin

 

[sablebrush52]

I'd like Jesus, the Prophet Muhammed, Abraham, and a bunch of their fiercest modern day clergy gathered into a debate with Guatama Buddha as moderator, smoke a bowl, and listen.

 

[workman]

My wife talks all the time. All the time.
So I'd go for someone quieter, like Buster Keaton. Or Helen Keller.

 

[Casual]

Thomas Carlyle and/or his wife Jane (smoking a pipe?).

Carlyle! If he’d tolerate my challenges, I’d love to get a full dose of his perspective. Uncompromising man. Here is a portrait in ink.

 

[danish]

These days it would be more than fine to share a bowl and a beer with a not very famous but good old friend again? Like before the lockdown.

My dad. He got me interested in smoking a pipe. He passed 4 years ago. Didn’t get to spend much of my childhood with him around with him being a career navy man. Every transfer he took was onto a ship set for deployment at least I was in high school. When he retired he worked nights and had a bit of ptsd so didn’t really get to spend much time with him.

"I don’t know whether many historical figures smoke a pipe."

The person you choose does not necessarily have to be a pipe smoker in real life. It's just a bit of fun to lighten the mood in otherwise miserable times.

I think either Carl Jung:

[Carl Jung on abstinence from smoking]

To Ignaz Tauber

Dear Colleague, 4 February 1953

For a time I faithfully observed the rigorous rules of abstinence until my impatience drove me again to a few pipes.

Of the 2 evils the pipe seems to me the lesser.

Everything went very well from the moment I gave up the digitalis . . . .

Yours sincerely,

C.G. Jung ~Carl Jung, Letters Vol. II, Page 105.

I think Jesus of Nazareth would be the most interesting person, if for no other reason than to get his opinions on how so many have twisted and misinterpreted his message. My second pick would be Socrates, Plato and Aristotle at the Academy.

 

[bnichols23]

Richard Feynman.

 

[olkofri]

Jesus, the Lord.

Then St John Evangelist.

Also, Fr. Damien DeVeuster and St Pius X: both of whom were pipe smokers.

 

[Bowie]

Jesus, the Lord.

Then St John Evangelist.

Also, Fr. Damien DeVeuster and St Pius X: both of whom were pipe smokers.

I didn’t know that about St Pius X. I’m adding him to my list.

 

[olkofri]

Oh, man how could I forget G. K. Chesterton?

 

[PipesAndCigarsInFrance]

I'd have to say Sherlock Holmes, Sir Winston Churchill and Stephen Fry. Oh and Chris C (the chap who got me into smoking pipes, I see him once every 8-10 years sadly).

 

[autumnfog]

August Strindberg.

 

[wolflarsen]

Cleopatra
Leif Erikson
L. Ron Hubbard

 

[Old School 3319]

My Dad for no other reason than to have one more chance to hug him

 

[Marindas]

CS Lewis.

 

[peregrinus]

A respectful, but lengthy, question and answer session with God.

"The Big Guy", Michael Collins for all the obvious reasons.

Grainne Ni Mhaille, an Irish leader. We Irish didn't fear to have a fighting, female chieftain.
