    What do you do when the.....bulb burns out?

    Second one looks the coolest.

    You buy an ultra-expensive replacement.

    Nice find, Xz.

    Most look like a variation of flourescent lightbulbs, perhaps with suitable glassblowing equipment I could make new lightbults fit for those devices, then sell them for cheaper than the producer does, thus usurping his own creation and market. Plus I could make my own bongs. Hehehehe.

    I bet you have a pipe carved in the shape of a grinning monkey just like OW Grant.

    Does it blow green smoke?

    No, although I should probably string some LEDs in my bogn now that you speak of such things.

    I have a few pieces, one little pipe that I haven't named yet, it's my "ok, this can break and I won't cry, pipe." I have another called nebula, picked it up on this nice head shop tucked away on the moon, would go more often but gas is so fucking expensive nowadays. I have a bong called the incredible hulk, and a long plastic tube that used to be part of a water gun that I sawed down, drilled a hole in, and fitted a Chong bong slide into. I call it the Shotgun.

    Do you have to pump it 27 times like a Super Soaker?
    You could market it and call it the Super Toker.

    Hey Blinky, if you ever want to make one that'll wow the hell out of your friends and knock your socks off when you use it, get a hold of a Brahma bull horn and a walnut base big enough to mount it.

    In '81 my neighbor got desperate enough for gas money that he sold me one of those for $20.00. This one had a bowl that was the same size as a silver dollar and took a generous pinch to fill.

    Now, I always thought I had pretty good lung power, but I could never suck it down.
    Trust me on this - One good hit per hour is about all you'll want. Sheryl Sivelly and Cathy Guy were both die-hard pot heads and that's all they could handle. As for me, one good hit and I was borderline comatose!

    I'm more of a hookah fan.
    My favorite one is completely black, except for the base (it's a dark smoked glass [ha ha, smoked]). We call it Darth Hazer.


    Those lamps are something else, though. The second one looks like a robotic lobotomy, but I have to admit that replacement bulbs would obviously cost a bit more than your standard Sylvania. The filament work is great, though. Are they carbon filaments, or something more modern?
