Just because the admins aren't on here to slap..... hold our hands daily, don't mean they aren't watching for posts that could get the forum in trouble.
I have always had the suspicion that we harbor an agent for the anti-tobacco empire in our midsts anyway...
Just to be clear and so no one's imagination runs away on the matter, I took that photo down myself. I thought it was a funny picture and the (unlit! - I even stressed that point when posting) pipe was nothing more than a prop that made for a fun snapshot. But when someone suggested it might be problematic I thought it wise to remove it. I'm new here and the last thing I want to do is cause trouble for the forum.
@TakeMeToTheShire; The last I remember, we have freedom of speech and expression. If TPL starts canceling posts or members or if members start canceling each other, I got along fine before I signed up and will get along fine without.
Dude, every one of us are politically incorrect geezers on here, you can post whatever the hell you want! What you most likely have to get used to the most here are our jokes of other members...we poke the crap out of each other all the time. There was nothing wrong with that picture you had up, not on this forum anyway, we were just giving you a hard time.
@TakeMeToTheShire, @RockyMountainBriar, @vtgrad2003; I didn't know who was being critical of the photo and I guess it just got me Irish up. I know @RockyMountainBriar wouldn't take a cheap shot at a Brother. Sorry I got so bent out of shape. Thanks you Brothers, for talking reason.
@opipeman No offense taken. I for one would hate to see you go the way of the @motie2🙁
@TakeMeToTheShire Like @vtgrad2003 mentioned, some of us can dish it out, hopefully people can take it. I know I can take it, so dish it out🙂. Sometimes people get way too serious and defensive, serious isn’t fun.
For the most part.....and that is for the most part, I have found pipe smokers to be relaxed and willing to roll with the punches. That seems to be part of being a pipe smoker. ,😉
@RockyMountainBriar, @Zouave, @vtgrad2003,; After nearly 60 years in the fire service, I can take it as well as dish it out. I honestly can't say that I was blaming anyone. I thought that maybe someone from the Forum had contacted @TakeMeToTheShire and thought it was more official than what I had read in the comments.That just hit me wrong. With all that's going on these days, I just needed to vent me Irish. It will take a lot more than that for you Sum-bitches to get rid me.
@TakeMeToTheShire The pipe smokers on here now are more of the thick headed, thick skinned type who not only can dish it out but will laugh when they are on the receiving end.
We used to have someone on here who was good at dishing it out, but he was thinned skin and got his feelings hurt too many times, so he left.
Out visiting the son and his wife in Vegas. Went to St George, UT. and visited Zion National Park. While in their museum, a display caught my eye featuring David Flanigan. I think most of us know the pipe pictured...
I wouldn’t bet on it, it could be a WDC, the stem does not have quite the bend a Peterson of that era would have. I vote WDC…but I wouldn’t bet so much as a nickel😉
With a last name of Flanigan, it would be easy to assume a Peterson. But aside from that, I'm just always happy to see a public place displaying photos of individuals with pipes...

Cool photos. Handsome lad.
Cool pic though🙂
Looks great! I'd like to know where that is so i can go too 😁
We had a cabin in the GA mountains and loved it. It's where NC, GA and TN meet

My comment was meant to be tongue and cheek.

Most of us miss him.
A sturdy lass for sure!
Your artistic talent is amazing. It looks like the work of one of the old masters.
