I can think of at least a dozen would-be pipe makers whose third chamber I'd love to shove a switchblade into.

Any publicity is good publicity though, right bud?

Pipenet was originally built by Cyberdyne Systems Corporation for Strategic Smoking Command - North American Defense. The SCC-NORSD base is located in Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado, the world's most heavily armored and defended mountain. Hollowed out, reinforced and armored, Cheyenne Mountain was capable of withstanding a direct hit from a 20MT nuclear warhead. This made it the perfect installation at which to build Pipenet's mainframe. At some point during the war, after Pipenet had launched its Blowfish Attack, Pipenet itself had the mountain around it disassembled via excavation, leaving a cold, gleaming structure behind as a display of the supremacy of Hipster-Bro Carvers over the Old School artists.

Heavily armored and fortified, Pipenet's Central Core Installation at Cheyenne Mountain was guarded around the clock by squads of Series 800 Terminators with patrols of Aerial Hunter Killers and Hunter Killer Tanks, and was defended from large scale rebel assaults by massive Phased Plasma Cannons.

Pipenet's Central Core was located deep underground within the main complex. From intercepted surveillance of video data feed, the Resistance, led by Todd Johnson, was able to hypothesize that this Central Core was a massive cold fusion lathe used to supply Pipenet with its tremendous stummel requirements. This Central Core is the key to Pipenet's ability to operate, and would be rendered virtually disabled without it. It has therefore become the main target for the most skilled Resistance strike teams. The Central Core is protected by the T-1000000, and there have, as of yet, been no successful strikes against it.[1]

Just to cheer everyone up a little- we're here complaining about all the wannabe hipster smoking-turd makers, but just think what any serious knifemaker must be feeling... I'm not super well informed but it seems that the phenomenon we're seeing in pipemaking is 10 times worse among knifemakers.

We just need to keep working hard and not pay attention to the jerks, they will disappear soon. Thankfully there are those who have the power, will and experience to actively counteract the proliferation of turd-crafters. Thanks TJ.

Wow. Canada at war with England. Who'da thunk it?

Only after parking your snow machines and adjusting your monocles and top hats, respectively, I assume. And exchanging some Jolly good shows! and a few eh's, while going about it.
