Name that Pipe Smoker

[Hermit]

Hermit, I don't know who he is. But, in addition to the cobb, isn't that a chaw of tobacco I see in his cheek? :shock: Looks like something my granddaddy (daddy's daddy) used to do when I was a kid!!

Yeah, he's got a cheekfull alright.

It's the great Nellie Fox.
One of my favorite players when I was a kid, along with Luis Aparicio.

Shoot low, Sheriff... old Bruins is ridin' a Shetland again!!!
:lol!: :lol!: :lol!:

Just picking at you, brother Bruins!! It was the best attempt I could make at some AM humor... considering how little sleep I got... and, with only a few swallows of coffee in me!!!

Brother Piet, seriously... about the only way I can see that you could ever overstep the line with me would be to tell me to pack my chit and git... unless you had just cause!! Then, it would be I who had overstepped my bounds!!! You are just fine, my brother from the dark continent!!!!

There you go, brother Hermit!! Stand your ground... regardless how many Christmas presents it costs you!! :affraid: :affraid: :santa: :lol!: :lol!:

It's Okay brother Dutch I really didn't remove a tin from your package. Yes I did but I put it back. :lol!: It was Silver Flake.

I'm ready for another "name that pipe smoker" Hermit's winning so far, that was a tought one indeed.

 

[beebiz]

Alright, anyone know who this corn cobb puffer was?? She's my all time favorite!!!

 

[Falconer]

Alright, anyone know who this corn cobb puffer was?? She's my all time favorite!!!

and a perfect match too. Granny Clampet.

Here's a tough one.

 

[beebiz]

So right you are, brother Dutch!! She was the famed Hillbilly from Tennessee... Granny Clampett, aka Daisy Moses... played by Irene Ryan!!

Here's a tough one.

That's one of the Magpies from the cartoon show, "Heckle and Jeckle." I am reasonably sure it's Jeckle. If memory serves me right, Jeckle was the one who had an English accent and always referred to Heckle as "Old Featherhead" or "Old Chum." As a kid, "Heckle and Jeckle" was one of my most favorite cartoons. It always amazed me at the trouble those corn eating Magpies could get into or stir up!!!

Gen. McArthur but I never noticed before how much he resembles Ronald Reagan.

here's and easy one...

Beebiz ... can't sleep my man? What's up?

BD, I have advanced stage Peripheral neuropathy. It is nerve damage and is one of the many marvelous side-effect of my diabetes.

In addition to the severe constipation (yes, Valky... I already knew I was full of it ) and other "pale in comparison" problems that the Peripheral neuropathy causes, I have horrendous pain in my feet and legs. But, the most severe, intense, and intolerable pain is in my feet.

Though my feet are so numb that I wouldn't feel it if you were to skewer them with an ice pick and roast them over an open pit, they hurt and burn horribly. It doesn't make sense to me... but, it's true!

From my waist down, I constantly feel as though I'm standing in a vat of hot grease. I've learned to deal with that. But, at night my feet begin getting this additional sensation. It is almost as if high voltage were being quickly and repeatedly passed through them.

Then, there's the knuckle of the big toe on my right foot... the knuckle that attaches the toe to the foot. It gets this sensation of laying on an anvil and being struck quickly and repeatedly with a hammer! The bigger the hammer, the more intense the pain is. The pain is quite excruciating! And, when my big toe makes it to the sledge hammer stage, I all but lose my mind!! This usually happens an average of three to seven nights a week.

The meds that the doctors give me seem to do little for the pain. I've spent many nights holding my foot to my chest, squeezing it and hitting it with my fist as I weep from pain. The pain is so intense that I have taken enough drugs to knock the average man on his butt for a couple days; only to still be wide awake and sobbing 6 or 7 hours later. It is one of the leading causes of accidental overdose (behind insulin overdose) in diabetics. So, my wife watches me with an eagle's eye when I get that bad off!

I'm not looking for sympathy... just stating fact! It is no fun!! And, I wouldn't wish it on the worst of my enemies!!!

Couple that with the fact that I can't seem to turn off the possible scenarios concerning Linda and her problems that my mind constantly runs over and over... and, I don't sleep much!! I will be soooooo glad when that heart cath is done!! I can deal with most anything... as long as I know for sure what I am to deal with. But, I don't sit in the dark very well... at all!!!

That's all! I'm sorry it was so lengthy... but, you asked! And, I thank you for caring enough to do so!!!

Robert

Now... let's all get naked and run through a field of brambles!!! :affraid: :affraid: :affraid:
:lol!: :lol!: :lol!: :lol!: :lol!:

 

[bluedigital]

Wow Rob, that is truly heart wrenching. I will continue to hold you and Linda close to my heart and constantly in my thoughts. Life is a continuous ebb and flow and for me the upside is that through your sleepless nights we get to share in more of your posts here on the BoB. That may sound selfish but they are well appreciated and something I look forward to. Stay strong my man, chat soon!

Rachel Hamilton

 

[beebiz]

Yes sir, brother Hermit... that's Rachel!! At 6 feet 4 inches tall and a lean 240 pounds, she made one hell of a tough farm worker, shipyard worker, and bouncer!!! :shock:

Had I lived back when she was a teenager, I'd have gladly taken her to wed. I could have shared her pipe... and, depended on her to protect me when the bad guys came knocking at our door!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Next!!!
