@Londy3 I'm 69 years old and I have never won anything in my life! But I am very happy for you and congrats! That package is going to keep you busy for a while. We will be expecting reports on some of those samples you received. Have fun...
Just to clarify, I didn't win anything. He wants to help new people to the pipe community and provide a selection of things to get started with. Very generous I will say.
Sooooooooooooooooooooo...I took my new pipe gift to my local B&M called Pipes by George. They are going to clean it up and provide a nicer Churchwarden stem in an Amber color instead of the normal black. We shall see..I hope it will look good.
@Londy3 ,George sold me my first pipe when I was in college. Tell him I said hello! I need to get back over there and thank him myself and we need to get together and smoke a bowl together.
@motie2 After working 35 in the Steel Mill and all the additional years of gutter speech I've developed over the years it would be impossible for me to get through a sermon without uttering at least two dozen profane four letter words. The words flow out so easily that I usually don't realize I said them until I see the shock wash over the face of the person I'm speaking to. Combine Mill Worker with Sicilian, add in Type A personality, and you end up with a 67 year old foul mouth codger without a filter. Not a good candidate for preacher ... or YouTube Presenter. When struggling to find the right noun, verb, or adjective one four letter word seems to lit the bill. Writing is a much better venue for me. It give me time to properly think about what I want to say, and it presents me with a five second time-delay to filter profanity and tax my brain to come up with an appropriate descriptive word to make my point.
Yes, but the really hard part about delivering sermons for 43 years was reminding folks of things you knew they wanted to hear -- needed to hear -- and were certain to ignore. And you knew that they knew that you knew.
@motie2 My sermons would be quick and to the point ... "You keep f*cking up and you're going to Hell. Now put some money in the basket and go home and watch football. GO BEARS! Amen."
<snicker> Yeeeeeaaaah, that would work for about the length of that sentence. Then: on the street, homeless. Consequences, my boy, consequences. Ya gotta think these things through. It helps to hide the medicine in the meatball, ya know.....??
