How many countries?

[Bub]

How many countries are represented on the BOB?
Other than the good old USA, I have seen posts from Canada and South Africa.
Lets chime in and become GLOBAL.

well, if being in a country counts as well...

Iraq is in. I'll have to get my good friend Dr. Ahmad to join the fun on these boards. He's Iraqi and a fine gentleman, and quite a bit of knowledge in the pipe world.

Statewise, Nevada is in.

Georgia here: some further North of here consider it a separate country :twisted:

I had a girlfriend from Ledyard a few years ago. The more and more I think about it, I think her brain consisted of a wiffle ball. Now things make sense all of a sudden.

Not to brag, but I think Nevada's mottos are slightly more badass.

Nevada=, "All For Our Country", "The Silver State" "Battle Born". haha. I can't say anything negative about Connecticut though, I enjoyed the little time I spent there.

The guy who invented the Ferris Wheel is from Nevada. Mark Twain actually got his start in Genoa Nevada, Nevada's first town.

It's cool; we're a boring little state. If I wanted to sound badass, I could say, "Birthplace of the Colt Revolver." But I like being the home of the Frisbee and the American hamburger sandwich.

(My favorite, though, is a t-shirt from a Hartford history museum: "Our city was founded by a Hooker.")

OK guys, we know that some states are better than others, I want to hear from other countries.

I think Nevada ended up using Colt's revolvers more than most states on the east coast haha. Along with most of the western states. :] that is an awesome t-shirt though.

Find a Texan and ask him that question. Let me know how the surgery turns out.
