Hmmmmmmmmm, . . .

Bang, bang Maxwell's silver hammer?? :dunno:

Would you believe . . .

Axe me in the morning because you're drowning out the TV???

:dunno: :flush:

Well, no matter what you believe, I do believe that our own Axegod75 has laid a very generous gift on me.

Let's see, I make people laugh, they send me cigars. Hmmmm, maybe I could take this show on the road. That's it, The Antique and His Cigar Smoking Road Show!!! :roll:

Well, I really must prepare to return fire. Hmmmmmm, maybe a couple Strawberry Phillies Blunts, and oh yes, can't forget a Swisher Sweets premium. :cryinlaugh: :cryinlaugh:

Well, what The God of The Axe sent me was four very, very nice looking CAO Maduro Churchills, along with a . . .

:eek:mg: :eek:mg: :flush:

St. Luis Rey, Habana robusto.

Hmmmmmmmmmm, NOW we're really getting somewhere here. Better call Scotland Yard. Hurro?? How much you guys gettin' for that special 23 year old Macallan these days? Oh really? Yes, I know O'Reilly, well, not personally, but no, just one bottle for me, Bill doesn't drink. Okay, send over Agent 534 with the bottle, and I'll get out a check to you next week.

Now, Axegod75 CLAIMS that these cigars are all from 2003, which means they should be good for me to smoke now. But, I know about these guys and their nefarious plots against me. I'll bet Axegod75 is really the infamous Agent Upside Down Cake, who once handed me a Leon Jimenes torpedo in a bar. After I ended up in the hospital, it was revealed that it was in fact a fresh Bolivar Belicoso Fino rebanded, fresh out of the factory. :eek:mg:

Hmmmmmm, and even if they ARE from 2003, suppose they were aged in cellophane? In that case, they wouldn't really be two years old, they'd barely have any age on them at all.

Hmmmmmmmmm, this will require some thought. Better call somebody, we all know I'm not capable of thought. Hmmmmmmm, better look around for some "nice" cigars to send back to him. This man is a god with an axe. That means he won't be fooled easily, he has a sharp wit, a steady hand and steely nerves. And a wooden handle. :rotflmao:

In the meantime, I've got five brand new cigars for football season, and one of them's a . . .

:eek:mg: :eek:mg: :eek:mg:

Reel Kyoobin Cigahhhhhh.

Thanks, buddy. Give me some time, and I promise you won't be disappointed.

Hey, anyone know where to get Swisher Sweets at a discount, I've got a package to make up and I can't spend too much. :cryinlaugh:
 
bloof if you would like to pool together i already got him a couple of those grape cigars at the gas station. They keep them humidified by putting them in a purple tube!
 
I never liked those grape ones - the draw was too tight. But the sugar-coated cap was nice! Went well with my cosmo
 
For pure value, I'd go with Optimo Palmas in place of the Swisher.

Bloofington may never be the same... If I can arrange my schedule to permit such a trip, I will be attending a Rottweiler Rescue benefit in Fishkill on Saturday the 13th. Hide your booze, my friend!!
 
Wow, if that's true, then stop on by. I have to leave for work at 2120 hours, but I'll be around during the day. Send me a PM or e-mail. Bring some doggies, too. :mrgreen:
 
It's only about three or so hour drive. I just have a lot going on this weekend. Going to AZ next week, gotta get kennels lined up for the dogs, Wile E and Coyote, laundry, pack, etc. I shall PM you with an update soon.

Bloof,

Once again you have me rolling on the floor :cryinlaugh:

While I did leave a few of the churchills from that particular box of CAO's in cello, I made sure not to send those to you...or did I :twisted:

I hope you enjoy smoking them as much as I enjoyed sending them to you.
Oh, be careful with the SLR...I may have torn the wrapper when I took off the cello :wink: :lol: Just kidding!
 
:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :cryinlaugh: :rotflmao:

I think I'm going to smoke that St. Luis Rey when Sir Chadwicke of Penningtonshire, Lord of The Hanging Curve, leads my Jets out for the 2005 season. That way at least I'll be able to say the cigar was good, because the game definitely won't be.

Can you say 0-16??? :dunno: :bolt:
 
A lot of times I'm just posting from home, not necessarily working. Before I lost my regular hours, I was a word processing temp for a great metropolitan law firm, fighting a never ending battle for commas, inter alias, and The American Way. :mrgreen:

I also work out of my home doing similar work for attorneys with small private practices, and individuals who need various kinds of word processing and simple desk top publishing needs. There are times during the week when I will also work for some of the same clients in their offices or homes. Recently, the firm I have been a regular at for nearly nine years has begun to use me again, after slashing all the regular temps in early year budget cuts. I still don't know if this will be a regular thing again, but I'm both needful and thankful for any hours I can get anywhere at this point.
 
Hey Colonel,
I do a good amount of Rottie Rescue here in Maryland, that's great to see a fellow cigar smoker and rescue person! House is wuiet for once in a very long time, but, I pick up our new addition to our family over labor day weekend. We have a 5 year old German blood now who has made me truely believe I will never own another breed!

Anyhow, hope the benefit goes well, Take care.

That's a very nice looking dog Eclipse. Do you ever breed Rotts or just rescue them?
 
I leave the breeding up to the responsible people who know exactly what they are doing. Allot of the reason this breed and many others have a poor public persona is greatly do to poor breeding, and of course poor upbringing. All the dogs I have ever owned that were bred by a responsible and caring breeder have been the best companions, most lovable, and most child protective breed I have ever known. Slim our current male is actually a certified good samaritan which gives us the ability to take him into hospitals and old folks homes to spread a little cheer! I take great pride in watching someone who first sees him and either says or thinks " Oh my God, it's a Rottweiler!!" when he first comes into the room, evolve into " Does Slim really have to go home?" in the end. I think it's our responsibilty as owners and advocates of the breed to knock down the misconceptions about the breed and prove to people they are truely theives of hearts! Sorry for the length, I'm very passionate about my dogs, we also do Pit Bull rescue, and it really hurts my heart the way people immediately write this breed off as nothing more then vicious fighting dogs who eat children and will tear your arm off without thinking. I have had pit bulls that were so abused, they wouldn't walk, they would belly crawl for fear that if they walked tword you, you would beat them! These are good animals, worthy of a chance, and I love giving it to them. I won't sit and say that there are not some scary dogs out there, but I promise you one thing that is for sure, I'll bet dollars to nickles that dog did not come into the world that way!

So, if you are interested in a pure bred Rottie, yep, I can get ya one, if you are interested in helping with a rescue, Yep I can do that too! If you are interested in a pit bull or bully breed, you guessed it, I can do that too! :D

Take care,
Paul
 
Eclipse, I agree 100%. I have often had to set people straight about Rottweilers. They think that just because they are great guard dogs means that they are mean and nasty when in reality, what makes them great guard dogs is their loyalty to their family, especially the children. They are amazingly gentle creatures with those that are not threatening to them or their family. I have been a big fan of Rottweilers as long as I can remember.

The problems come when people raise them improperly or mistreat them. Then the poor animals are so confused they don't know how to react to certain situations and that is when bad things happen.

I wasn't actually asking you if you bred them so I could get one, just was curious. I actually know a couple of very good breeders and have considered getting one for a long time but I just don't have the room for one and I am afraid I couldn't keep it happy. Eventually when we move into a bigger house, which will have to happen sometimes soon as my children get older, I will more than likely get one. I really want one from this guy in Pleasanton. The stud is about 180lbs and pure muscle. It is one of the biggest dogs I have ever seen and just a big teddy bear.

Anyways, Slim looks like and sounds like a great dog. Was he a rescued animal?

EDIT: typos
 
:lol: well it is quite the threadjack, but, what can ya do! No, Slim is AKC registered pure german bloodline, v rated 3 times. He's now been DQ'd do to a slight tooth mis alignment, but, that was just fine with me!! showing is such a pain in the a$$!

I bet. I don't think I could ever show a dog even if I had a real well trained beauty. Just too much work. I want a dog for the companionship not to win awards.
