Post by: magnet-man on January 11, 2009, 05:04:52 PM
I have decided to change the hood on my suit. Here is a picture of the new design.

 Looks like you could substitute an air hose for the pipe and go deep sea diving :-D.
Seriously, I would really miss the ones that buzz in my ear.

I'm glad I waited to order a jacket n veil, I sure would've missed out on the new veil.  I just may take up pipe smoking now!

Its really realaxing to smoke a pipe, and studys have shown people who smoke a pipe live up to two years longer than non smokers.

Plus you dont have to inhale the pipe smoke alone smells wonderful!

But what would I do if I only had a bent pipe?

It does.  The smoker is INSIDE the hood...
