A channel for pipes, tobacco, faith, friends, psychology, and generalized rascalism.
My Rose Pose and the Parable of PiperDave
Doing what I do best, rambling incoherently. Wanted to shine a spotlight on two pipers.

Just seeing how I like this possible new intro. Song is Breath on a Window by Alice in Chains. If you're unfamiliar, do NOT allow yourself to leave this mortal plane without treating yourself to this masterpiece. th-cam.com/video/rYUypas2qx8/w-d-xo.html

This is partially in response to Pipes with a Therapist. See their video here: th-cam.com/video/6h9rdFKz-jM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=s4aPuJv44FDFCOb0 But also, just my own musing of how pipe smoking lends itself to both social and individual contexts, and invites you to participate in fantasy.

Recorded the first half of Where the Mystics Swim, Chapter 1; but the software program is crashing on me. I'll worry about it tomorrow, and throw up I song I goofed around with a while back.

More of the book... Part 2
Ha! It is definitely a -wet- juicy blend 😂
@@jespiping 😃 yeah it really is, but we all know what we're getting into. Molto Dolce is it's the Dr. Pepper of pipe tobacco "23 flavors!" thrown in. How ya doing today?
@AcrosstheValley it's definitely tasty! Ok today. Thanks 👊😊
TEAM MOLTO DOLCE!!! Ha! Glad you got some! Thanks for the shout out! I appreciate it! Have a blooming weekend!
👋😊
@ hi Jess! 👋

Magnificent rose pose!
You have a gift for titles my friend
That's a title that gave me a chuckle 😄 So from one animal to another, whether you stay a spell or dissipate into the ether, I'll be tuning in to the channel. I've only been in this _community_ a tick past a year and I can confidently state that your experiment, if curiosity of viewership was the basis, will surprise. If I had to describe the group vibe in one word it would definitely be eclectic. In the most endearing of terms. There's all sorts of people here, and frankly the majority are the most genuine and kind I've ever had the pleasure of speaking with. Second to none. Yes, a dark side may emerge from time to time, but that's an expectation in any large group of animals I believe. Staying true to you is a great notion. And one to be always encouraged. It's what makes this existence engaging. And I for one am never bored😆 Anyways, I enjoyed your message and hearing about your backround. And it's a pleasure to meet ya. Have a great weekend! 😁🤙💨

@@ravelation Ha! I knew it was one big conspiracy. I should have known something was up when the Dean handed out gift baskets of assorted pronouns.
"I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member." -Groucho Marx (in response to his invitation to join the New York Friars Club)
@@ravelation haha. Well said.
WoW. 😳 That *OoHhMmmm* pulled a distant ( _and i mean distant_ ) memory right from my deep cortex. Goes something like this... I'm a pre-teen, in a sleeping bag on the pea soup green carpeted front room floor. (That would take a millimeter of skin off any part of your body that grazed it too fast) Man I remember that shit was like a rusty Brillo pad. Lights are out, VCR is whirring a tape i couldn't wait to get my popcorn smelling hands on. In the bag next to me is my girlfriend. Mentioned only because she would later in life have the privilege of being my very first ex-wife. ...She's welcome. Due to the height of the TV both our heads are bent back to the spines limit. A geometric capacity only a preteen could sustain without cutting off blood flow to the brain. I'd argue some flow was in fact compromised, but i digress. There I was, absolutely consumed by this film I had waited seemingly my entire life to see... "The Dark Crystal". Produced by one of my favorite men. At that time mind you. So there's where that sound you made comes into the equation. Creatures in that film made that sound. One of my favorite parts of the movie. If you've ever got time in your life to completely waste, check it out. You'll hear that sound. And there I'll be. 😂🤙💨💨
@@jespiping Isn't the Dark Crystal a Jim Henson movie? I know I've seen clips of it but I can't remember if I've ever sat through the whole thing. There will be times I'm telling someone about it and they say "you're describing The Labyrinth" so I obviously get the two mixed up. I'm a little self-conscious about some of the things in the book because I'm not a "heal your energies with crystals" type person. I never will be. I'm more of a "if something seems to work for you, HOW it works is less important". That's a big part of hypnotherapy. There is nothing magical or mystical about it. It merely taps in placebo. We have no idea how placebo effects work... we just know they do. And placebo works EVERY time. Look at any medication tested... sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. But, in that same study, there is guaranteed to be a measurable placebo effect. As far as your memory, that's it man. That wasn't forgotten. Not in the least. It was just hidden beneath the surface, and it only took some tool on the internet to bring you back to it. And that's the better way of thinking about it... the memory didn't come back to you. You were brought back to the memory.
@AcrosstheValley yup, Henson's work. I enjoyed much of what he put out as a kid. Still enjoy going back there today. Funny thing, I've never seen The Labyrinth. But I can see the two getting mixed up for some reason. I'm not a crystals type either. For no particular reason really. Well, other than I'm not a believer. I do however believe in the placebo effect. Interesting way to put recalling something seemingly forgotten. Which makes me realize, I didn't thank you afterwards. My apologies. Now who is the tool? 😆
How were you dressed?
@@PipesWithaTherapist Seductively
Haven't you learned anything from Stamets?! You are risking your very precious life by making enemies with portabella mushrooms....
@@ravelation I picture Stamets in some Pacific northwestern forest shaking his head at me... in complete dismay
Nice to see you here! I love Alaska. My Dad & brother lived in Wasilla and Palmer for about 20 years and I went for extended visits many times. Everywhere you turn there is a picture post card! Welcome to the community here!
@@carolinarose704 Thank you! Yeah I do love it here... and over the years I think its for the things you can't see over those you can. Alaska has a strange "roads end" vibe to it that permeates everything. But hey, let me know if you ever make it back up here... we'll crack open a tin.
@ thanks for the invite! I do still have friends there and my sister-in-law’s kids and their families live there. Not sure if I’ll make it back to Alaska or not, but we will see, you never know! My brother was also into gold panning so we did some of that. It was fun!
Perfume your office, Freud smoked up to 20 cigars over the course of his clinical day!
Never heard anything from him haha... He must have seen through it pretty quickly

@@PipesWithaTherapist Such a talent
Wow... super cool that Alice in Chains (and their label) allows unrestricted use of their music (or, at least, this particular song).
Sweet👊😎💨

Yeah, such a unique mind that guy had. I just wish I could understand more than 2% of it.

@@ravelation lol. You can help with the doctrinal dictates... just so long as I get to be a diety
@ Bring some of those weight loss cookies and you can definitely be the Bunkie Cult's diety! 🍪
The "Big 5" personality traits and pipe smoking!?!?! Yes please!! Glad to have been giving the heads up, just subbed, definitely gonna be giving a look-see! 🤙
@@TheLeagueOfTheKeeprsOfTheBriar Oh be careful... I'm on the lookout for collaborations as well! But thank you, and I'm headed over to your channel as well (as soon as I learn how to do that on the app).
Welcome to the community! Sounds like an interesting channel you've got planned. Looking forward to seeing you around👊😊💨
@@jespiping Thank you for stopping by. My friends and I are reformed cigar smokers and are all fairly newer to pipe smoking. My very first pipe gave me the idea of "oh wow... why have I spent so much time fooling around with cigars? I should have been piping this whole time". Pipe smoking feels like a dance. Cigars are more of a fist fight. I haven't smoked a cigar since.
@AcrosstheValley I never got into cigars in the past, dabbling a bit now. Hardly worth mentioning at the moment though. But I've _really_ taken a liking to the pipe. I too wish I'd have realized it's pleasure a long time ago. This pipe community is awesome. A real great bunch of folks, as you'll soon find out.👊😄💨
@@AcrosstheValleyI do both! And hi Jesse! 👋
💩
I need some of those weight loss cookies.
I haven't found them yet. I did buy some shape-shifting cookies. They're pretty cool... if you eat a whole box, your shape becomes wider
@ Shape shifting cookies sound delicious, too.
Hands down, this is the best Mentos commercial I have ever seen.
You, sir, are truly a gentleman and scholar.
