Fairfox: So yah, I smoked it a li'l an' then mah sister told me he probs had syphilis which ruined
everythang. But I still look fo' realz good with a pipe.
Don't worry, there's no way you have syphilis! You're not European royalty from the last 400 - 200 years...
... however, your odds of HepC are at better than 2-1 ;) So there's that.
I love the smell of pipe smoke, but I'm actually fairly certain I've NEVER smoked a pipe. I will have a cigar or three during the course of the year when the mood strikes me, and have a funny dog / cigar story.
I think to smoke a pipe, you need a permit that involves permanent possession of round eyeglasses, a knit vest and a beard / mustache combination. Added points for one of those flat caps as well.
Enjoy the snow day! I'll be spending it trapped, making a gravy and some braciole. Maybe even some daytime video gaming before I venture out to clean up later. God I hate wet snow.
