With Whom Would You *Not* Smoke?

[jbfrady]

Not all good people are pipe smokers, and not all pipe smokers are good people. This topic is to - light-heartedly, I hope! - explore the bizarro version of the recent thread created by @huntertrw.

So, if you were threatened to be locked in a time warp, who is a deceased smoker (pipe or otherwise) you definitely would  not want to smoke with?

My answer (legendary Comanche and Apache warriors aside) is Ernest Hemingway. I can elaborate, but I hesitate to offend any Hemingheads if they exist here.

I heard that Mark Twain fella hates the poors, so...

Jokes aside, I don't know. I'll have to think on it.

I'd go ahead and decline an opportunity to smoke a pipe with Douglas MacArthur. I can do without the company of an egotist, even one as decorated and historically significant as he.

Ol' Sam liked to shit on the poor for sure, but he shit on the rich too. Equal Opportunity Poop Deployer.

Didn't somebody once say Stalin held his pipe like a potato?

Himmler. Apparently he was partial to the odd cigar as seen in the photograph. I would imagine he is probably the most boring conversationalist ever to have walked the earth with some of the most abhorrent views any individual could ever articulate. Apparently he was very big on Nordic legends, alternative medicine as well as Jew hatred and chicken farming.

But if you made it a 3 some you could add George Soros and those two would have a fantastic time, then you just pull out a revolver and end them both, love a happy ending!

Probably Sir Walter Raleigh. Elizabethans weren't great at bathing.

 

[condorlover1]

But think of the lines on that snappy Hugo Boss uniform!

Once or twice a year even if they didn't need it!

They also never washed their clothing even the "aristocrats" wore grime encrusted clothing that was literally rotting in places. The truth of history is ... well it's disgusting LOL

If I ever find myself smoking with Sherlock Holmes or Captain Haddock I would be very worried about what is in my pipe.

Stalin. That guy always looked like having a bad bout of constipation.

With these being made-up characters, I'd be more concerned by the especially adequate sci-fi capabilities of these foes...

 

[olkofri]

Stalin, Mark Twain, Crowley, Hefner, Einstein....

 

[AroEnglish]

Stalin, even if he offered me one of those gorgeous Petes he owned.

I'd be worry about what you were smoking if you thought you were in a room smoking with Holmes LOL

George Lincoln Rockwell.

No he doesn't; he employs them....albeit with a snotty attitude.
