I'm trying to expand my pipe shape selection from my standard choice, a Rhodisian. A couple of months ago I was crusing the "bay" and saw this no-name Canadian that had frankly seen better days. There was something about it that told me to gamble, so I paid $19.00 on a hunch. When it arrived...

They could have confronted the men, but would have probably been splashed with their crap. If it had been my wife she would have pulled her gun, told them belly down in the filth, and called the police. (I'd have watched and smiled while making sure she didn't shoot them out of principle)...

My cousin and her husband were camping this weekend. While they were sitting and having coffee they watched 2 separate men take their sewer hoses to empty sites and wash them out using the fawcet that people hook their water lines to. They splashed their crap all over the sites and the fawcets...

I'm slowing collecting things for my man-cave to be. This ashtray reminds me of the one that my grampa used: This is from the 1970's when everyone had at least one ashtray in their home. Just added a cork to convert it for my pipes:

Beautiful pipe, Al - Enjoy it in good health!

Welcome Rob! I joined just a couple of weeks ago and have found this to be a very welcoming site. I'm also from Washington and named Rob (plateauguy - from the Enumclaw plateau).

Just got back from camping. This is my Diplomat cob with Sunset Rum in it at Lake Easton, WA I was thinking about buying "bubble pipes" for my grand-daughters for our ocean camping trip. My wife pointed out that it would go over like a lead balloon with our daughter (big sigh).

I just picked up a Sav Series III - bent apple. It's an unfinished bowl with a vulcanite stem. Rather a plain Jane, with one small flaw, but has a hefty feel in the hand - the bowl walls are quite thick. Looking forward to seeing how the briar ages. That makes 3 this year. Done for awhile.

Don't let that sweet face fool you. She would die trying to protect her owners. Terriers are a special bred made for patient people. Beautiful dog, glad she found you. When we were looking for a dog, my wife wanted an Irish Wolfhound. When we found the life span was only 6-8 years, we...

19/20 - I hated Pogo I loved Sky King and Penny. If it's Tuesday, it must be Belgium.

Sorry for your bad luck. It's an awful feeling, but thank God that your wife arrived after the break-in. I just ordered a security system from SimpliSafe.com - the price is reasonable, you install it (no phone wires that can be cut). Monitoring is anywhere from $15 - $25 a month depending on...

I like a man who knows his mind and isn't afraid to speak it. Bravo!

The majority of my pipes are 1/4 bent Petersons, Savinellis and MM cobs. I do have 3 straight Kaywoodies which I cherish because they're from the 1930's.

He might also be going by the name of Daniel Gilliam. This might just be a rumor, but it's got the community's attention.
