Thread: Take a picture of yourself smoking a pipe

A corn cob and some dunhill baby's bottom



I hope they decide to offer it in bulk. I've fallen in love with it but not he price.

Agreed. A brilliant picture indeed!

That really is a great photo. Could be a contest winner of some sort. A pipe shop would certainly display your mug!

Well done.

Thanks for the comments chaps.

Im starting to blush!

Each time I see one of your posts I can't help thinking about Edward G. Robinson's 1938 comedy classic "A Slight Case of Murder".

No-Nose Cohen and three others were found shot to death over a poker table in the Saratoga house his boss had rented for the season. The deceased, still clutching their cards, included No-Nose, Blackhead Gallagher, a stranger, and Little Dutch (holding a king-high flush). This discovery prompted Marco/Robinson to growl over Dutch's body, "...he always had the luck.".

Robinson, a native of Romania, enjoyed pipes on- and off the set.

Not sure how I missed this thread... Must have been started when I was on my "Hiatus"...

This is a "long ago picture" maybe 2010?

Edward G was one of my top 5 favorite actors of all time. In that movie his wife finds a body of a dead gangster in a closet IIRC ..... she says, "What will the neighbors think ? I saw it on TV when I was a kid, I roared with laughter when she said that. Back then, before made for TV movies they showed a lot of the old classics.

One of his best was Double Indemnity. Anyone who hasn't seen it is in for a treat if they go to the trouble to find it.

ASCoM has made me laugh out loud for at least 50 years. EGR made some tremendous movies like Double Indemnity, Little Caesar, ASCoM, Key Largo, The Cincinnati Kid, Brother Orchid and The Sea Wolf. Never nominated for an Oscar, he nevertheless received an honorary Academy Award a few months after he died.

Out of those you've mentioned, besides Double Indemnity, I love his role in Key Largo and The Sea Wolf. I thought he captured Jack London's 'Wolf Larsen' perfectly. Another great film he starred in, if a bit 'corny' by todays standards, was Scarlet Street. I never cared that much for Little Caesar oddly enough. Here EGR is in one of my favorite scenes from DI ;
