Dr. Grabow Pipes

Pipe smoking and hunting go naturally together. After many years smoking in blinds and watching javelina, hogs, and deer I am unconvinced the smell of burning tobacco spooks wildlife. However, do put your pipe down before shouldering your long firearm. Disregard this rule if you hunt with a handgun.

I suspect this is a good rule for bow hunters too.

Once heard of a pipe smoking hunter who was rushed by a rutting buck after tapping out the ash from his bowl. Apparently the buck believed the sound was from a fight between bucks.

This doesn't have anything to do with Dr. Grabow pipes, or even with pipes at all. It is just a good rule.

When cleaning squirrels, don't ever think their gallbladder is too small to hurt you and pop it in your mouth. It's worse than cherry blend tobacco.

Do try to smoke your bowl all the way to the bottom. Then stir the ashes. This helps keep the bottom of the bowl drier. If you want a nice cake, after you stirred the ashes, put your thumb over the bowl and shake, coating the bowl interior with nice gray ash. Do make certain all of the embers are extinguished before shaking.

If you are unable to finish a bowl, set it aside and finish it later. It won't taste as good.

Friend of mine smokes only the top half of every bowl. He says he doesn't enjoy the bottom half. I tell him I could save a lot of tobacco money if I lived close enough to harvest his ash trays for dumped tobacco.

He suggested I could use the tobacco money I save to pay for his Denali's upholstery.

Mac....I did that. Matches mixed in with some unshelled peanuts....in the 8th grade. Thought it was going to take a fire extinguisher to put it out. No, It's not pleasent.

Don't BBQ naked.

SD...I know it's not your doing, but why does it say "We delete those unfit to date" whenever I access the Forun. Whose posts has google/yahoo been watching? Donkey Nuts? That'll be mine.....-ted-

Dear Old Timer,

I was waiting for this very question. It is an ad for a dating service (meaning they delete the weirdos)

Since this is a free forum for another month or two I have no control over the ads. Their "bots" picked up on our use of the phrase "Grabow Dating".

That siad, Don't Run with scissors you'll put an eye out!

Sir Duke and ted appear to have their own private language. At times I don't have a clue what they are talking about.
