How can something "new" be "improved" if it's "new"?

Intro:
New site, so I decided to change my name. A fresh start, clean slate, whatever (not a scary avatar).
Some of you may know me as IHT. I'm here for the pipe discussions. I still smoke cigars every so often, but 95% of the time, it's pipes. 50% of the time, it's 100% Va/Pers. 50% of the 95%, it's 100% VAs. 2% of the 100%, I get tongue bite.

Started smokin pipes in the late 90s. Switched to cigars around '02, while still smokin pipes 5% of the time. In '05, I went back to 100% pipes 95% of the time, while getting tongue bit 2% of the time.

Hello.

Welcome Greg! I'm surprised Spongy didn't join. Either way, it'll be good to have ya around. :-)

I got sick of you bastages bombarding me with PMs to join.
Spongy is waiting for the next BBQ herf so he can spend 2 weeks within arms reach of a toilet and baby wipes, Chad.

Welcome here Greg, you didn't seem to happy with ****.com. This site is real nice.

a couple reasons, Nick. I kept being invited by a handful of ppl over here in the pipe forum. old-CS has gone down the pooper now, worse than i thought it would. i still post on a # of other forums, but the reason i post on pipe forums now is to help newer smokers out, share whatever knowledge i have, and still learn a thing or two along the way. some of the other places i post at, there's hardly anyone new that needs to learn anything. we all just kinda sit there, staring at each other through the smoke.

Dan, name change cuz i didn't want to scare anyone. y'know, those animated gif's can really haunt some ppls dreams.

thx for having me and the invites, guys. i hope to contribute something worth a darn.

Man! That's one scary amoeba thingy! It's like it has one off centered eye starring at me! I almost pissed my pants. Creepy!


I hope it doesn't light up.:-)





Hi Greg! :-)
[Reply]

hey darien. hope all is well up there.
we were just talkin about a herf in KC soon.
[Reply]

As I was making the previous post, I was thinking how good it would be to see everyone again. I wish I had more leeway to make the out of town (out of KC area) herfs. I look forward to it.
[Reply]

Welcome to CA Greg. I STILL can't believe that I never met Spongy at the BBQ HERF.
[Reply]

i can't either, you slept in his house and he drove you to the herf.
[Reply]

I heard he was avoiding you. :-)
[Reply]

The curlycut avatar turned my guts to Jello when I first saw it. Totally NSFNS (not safe for non-smokers). I hope he doesn't start whipping out those extra-scary fish emoticons next.

I live in one of the most metropolitan areas in the US and i have never heard of a herf around here.

what does herf stand for anyway, i never could figure it out.
