Meerschaum Pipes
I'm getting my pipes ready for MMM (March Meerschaum Madness), here's the before picture. Left to right I have a meer bowl for my Falcon pipe I picked up from PipesDepot on eBay, the next one is a figural sultan meer that I picked up as an estate pipe from Sorringowl & Sons. I dropped this one and cracked the tenon on the stem and replaced it with a stem with a smaller diameter. I recently bought a larger stem, but ended up breaking off a piece of the shank of this pipe trying to install it without replacing the fitting in the stummel. I have glued the piece back on with super glue, we'll see how it holds up. Next is my newest pipe, a Townsman Billiard Crater African Block Meerschaum Pipe from Royal Meerschaum that I haven't smoked yet, and finally an AKB Lattice Bent Dublin from Smoking Pipes.
I forgot to take a picture of my meerschaum lined Carey Magic Inch pipe, I'm not sure that I'll smoke it for MMM.

Today I learned that CAO meerschaum was made by Cano A Ozgener and launched CAO cigars under his initials.

Sitting here minding my own business and catching strays.
You gettin the love, Brother! You gettin the love.
I can get the same kind of love in a prison camp...
Betcha your hiney would hurt a little more though.
Side note, thus thread has taken a strange detour.
Working ER for many years I learned that apparently there's not much that's more dangerous than "minding my own business".
How'd it happen?
I dunno, I was just minding my own business and all of a sudden...fill in the blank with any of the following, or your own story
Dude just walked up and shot me, for no reason
My old lady came out of the house and clocked me with a frying pan
His car came out of nowhere and smashed into me
The cops came and picked me up for no reason
All of a sudden my brother started beating me up and claiming I was doing his ole lady
Chick I've never seen before comes up with her husband and points me out and says "he's the one that gave me herpes"
The mind boggles
