Must be a Southwest Pennsylvania thing.
Hugodrax, you're a Pittsburgher though aren't you?
I did not pick up the other other dreadful words spoken in those parts such as, "gum bands" and the worst one, "younz." I think that's how they spell that mess.

It isnt. "Yinz." Think about that awfulness.
No one of any consequence uses that word. And rubber bands...shudder.

I have one that just needs a couple touch ups and then it will be ready to a photo op. Hopefully within the next few days.

It's just not the type of shape that catches my eye. The beauty in the lines of this pipe only started to appear to me as I shaped it. As it took shape and sat in my hand so naturally, I learned why you liked this shape so much.
