There was no blame intended at all. I said that because I assumed someone ELSE would throw Palatine under the bus. I, of course, would never ever even think of doing something like that. :roll:

And you should also note that I was quite correct re the situation...no need for drama. Well, I do like to watch while other guys run around in small circles while they wave their arms and cry out, ''The sky is falling, the sky is falling!'' It's called the 'modified stationary panic'. Very festive.
Sorry, I should have said, (Just kidding, Rob & BH!)

Oh! And that reminds me...I thought you were supposed to smoke a clay so that it glowed in the dark. Shows how much I know.
Blackhorse the red glowed commander, had a very shiny pipe!

And if you ever smelled it, you would even say "That's Ripe!"
All of the other airmen, used to laugh when they saw his flames.
They never let poor Blackhorse, join in any raiding games.


Your turn now...
 
Then on a smokey Valentine's Day
Blackhorse came to say,
''Won't you fly with me tonight
beneath the skys of gray?''

Then all the pilots loved him.
He'd totally made their day...
leading the squadron's bombers
into the explosive fray.

I cannot possibly say how humbled and touched I am by all of you guys.

I'm stopping on the way home tonight for a couple flats of ball mason jars to get all this put away.

Thank you brothers!

Nice. Yah, aside from the embarassment when you receive such a haul, it really does warm the heart just as much as I'd hoped it would every time I send out a bomb.

I'll hopefully find some jars on the way home tonight, and post up the tally of destruction tonight.

I'm also posting as I try the new tobaccos, thus far I've been stuck on the Frog Morton across the pond to be honest, great stuff!

I had another box sneak in sometime last night. It was gift wrapped from SmokingPipes.com and contained a 50g tin of Dunhill EMP and a 2oz tin of Captain Earle's Mystic Blend.

Seriously, thank you guys!

Well ladies and gentlemen, this has been a special time indeed. We've laughed, we've cried, it's become a part of us. We have spanned a range of emotion from A to B! We have climbed the highest, walked the longest, given the greatest...uh...yeah. Sigh. Whatever. Hmmm.

So look. That's all well and good, dude. But it's history...OLD news...so last month. Yadda, yadda, yadda.

We're just not the kind of guys that dwell in the past...clinging to the glories of deeds we have done 'once upon a time'. We are forward thinking...bona fide futurists...defending truth, justice and the right to scatter C-4 as though we were chiffon clad flower girls, tripping the light plastic fantastic down some aisle up in the ruddy sunset clouds of tomorrow! It's a...Lucy in the Skies...Lighting up a Life. It's Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow in which we see Gwinith Paltrow finally get her comeuppance! It's Alice bringing down the Queen of Hearts with the well placed WHACKING of her croquet mallet.

It's all of those and more! It's...it's...

(need I say it?)


...it's time for...


HOWDY DOODY!!!


NO! That's not right. That's just CRAZY!

FOCUS... focus...

Why is a Raven like a writing desk?

Because it's stark ravin' mad! Mad I tell you! Mad as hell, and I'm not gwine take it no more!



(pant, pant, pant)


So you should have it on your own by now.


It's time for MARCH MADNESS!


(details to follow)


 
Someone call the doctor.....BH has rattled something loose this time for sure.

LET THE MADNESS BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :twisted:
