Find a box to keep all your screw ups in, and throw it in there. It won't be lonely for long. You can probably come back to this pipe some day and fix it, if you hang in there long enough. You could put bamboo on it, redrill another mortise, may be several ways to save it that are probably out of yo...

In Texas, outside of the major cities, you'll find the friendliest most open people I've met anywhere in the Lower 48 states. Old fashioned ideas like common courtesy, hospitality, and respect run rampant most anywhere it hasn't been crushed by more modern "ideals".

I think Texas would drive me insane.

Well if you're just judging from my "condition" don't let that persuade you. There are some here who aren't, yet.

Damn, I thought you were moving to Texas Chris...

Your sketch is a no go. The shank is too thin on the bottom, which may or may not be a big problem. It will just lead to a shank that is prone to break, or just a bit too much sanding and you've cut through to the airway. Your bowl however is not acceptable. Back of the bowl looks like it goes into ...

Just for the Record, Steve is the man. I wish there was a guy just like him in every industry I ever spend money in. Luckily we have him for pipe supplies, I just wish he would go into Insurance, Groceries and Oil. And politics. I do feel bad for his competitors. They have to sleep. Steve doesn't wa...

This represents a level of accomplishment, not drunkenness. We don't need a chart to show how much Sasquatch drinks.

Shit ! I never got a double bacon butter burger basket. That could be the issue here.

A great bunch of folks they are

Except for that Todd Bannard guy, what a dick.

Norm I think I missed you at this years show...or was too drunk to remember seeing you.. Either way, glad you had a good time, I sure did.

Mike Butera uses a pressure pot, if you can get in touch with him.

No coincidence. Just a few of my favorite things.

I'm looking for the near blind Pipe Buyers Clique. Anyone with a heads up on this, please let me know.

I hear he pays commission if you share a table and sell his pipes while he's out. Here's a super funny joke to play on Sasquatch-sized Texans: ALDEN: So, I'm back. Sell anything? PRANKSTER: Yup. Every one of 'em, in fact! ALDEN: Out-fucking-standing! Cool! They pay with cash or PayPal? PRANKSTER: A...

Besides, I'll probably be outside smoking most of the show

I'll split my table Bill. Yeah, I'm no Scottie Piersel, but beggars can't be choosers.

Unicorn Oosik maybe ?

Whoever sold you that crap briar is an asshole ! Hope he didn't charge you much ! Besides that though, you have a Dublin here when I think you were making a Billiard. It's really not either, sort of floating in between. Bringing in the sides toward the top would give you what you want. Shaping is pr...

Well Sasquatch, we only had half of the conversation; the part about rubbing a Texan the wrong way. We still need the talk about rubbing a Big Texan the right way.

Two slices off the same loaf, of White Bread.

Nice !
