[djruiner]

tell me this just doesn't make you want to tear up. my first glass pipe i bought...hell really the last real glass pipe i bought.this thing has traveled with me about everywhere i went.was tapping it on a ashtray and the whole bowl snapped in half....the look on my face you would have thought id just seen my puppy get killed...now ive got to get a new one i guess...shitty part is no where around here sells decent pipes anymore...and i hate buying them online..you never know what your really getting...also i cleaned it after i broke it...the metal tin thing has all the resin thats in it.i never really throughly cleaned this pipe.and ive smoked opium,hash,and some of the best dank in the world through it...might even smoke the resin...even though i hate resin

That is such a sin! You should smoke the resin. If for no other reason, but in respect for the fallen solider that was your bowl.

[StonedPony]

I can imagine the look on your face..........Ive broken things had long time and go FUCK.........well put it up dont throw it away...........memories are cool...........

 

[smokecat]

lol i have box full of broken "memories" - sucks when you lose a good piece. Damn though, thats a lot of resin- how could you even get a decent pull off that thing? Lol I'm surprised the resin didn't hold it together!

 

[CSI Stickyicky]

I'm sorry for your loss. We have all been there before. There were 3 great bowl breaks in my life so far that really sucked. The sentimental value of where these pipes came from, and the many memories i had with them, is just irreplaceable.

Now you got me depressed thinking about the pipes of my past. Oh, "Jah-roast-afarie", how i miss you so. (My rasta colored bubbler i got at Bonnaroo)

Dont throw that away. Go get guerilla glue or super glue. Try to mend that shit.

If that doesnt work, you are still not lost... make sure you put that fucker in the dishwasher first, THEN, look up a local glass blower have them try to mend it..

I feel your pain DjRuiner..

I too lost my best friend here fairly recently. Last summer in fact..

My bowl wasn't as old as yours.. though it wasn't far off from being as old.

My bowl was made right in front of me.. I actually got to watch the glass-blower guy make it.

I got to pick what colors I wanted in the swirls and everything else.. even the bowl size.

I had mine for a good solid 11 years. I got it in my senior year of high school, which was back in 99-2000 (I graduated in 2000).

So actually I had it for 12 years.. not 11.

Long story short.. I was smoking in my backyard by the pool one summer afternoon. I was sitting in one of my patio chairs that surround one of those umbrella tables you know? The ones with the huge ass umbrella that comes out the middle of the table..

anyhow, I had just finished my first bowl (wake-N-bake) so I turned the bowl upside down to dump out the remaining ashes left behind from the first bowl. I always hit the bottom of the bowl.. against the palm of my hand to dump out the ashes like I always have done. Well, I guess I didn't have a good grip on it with my other hand... that I was holding it in. So I'm sitting there.. hitting the pipe with the back of my hand to clean it out.. then suddenly.. -*WHAP*, PUHDING PAHDANG.. the bowl bounced off my kneecap onto the cobblestone below my feet.

Amazingly.. the bowl didn't shatter into a million pieces... it broke into about 5 different pieces. I tried super-gluing the bowl back together since it wasn't really all that bad of a break.. but I had one single piece that was missing.. and it just happened to be a vital piece. So, without that piece.. I wouldn't be able to save my bowl.. and sure enough.. after 3 hours of searching on my hands in knees.. I gave up.. and buried the remaining pieces that I had. I mean, I probably could have found the missing piece.. but it was so small.. plus it was lost in the sea of cobblestone concrete with all different colored rocks.. so it made it almost impossible to find a colored piece of glass.

sorry for rambling.. my morning wake-n-bakes usually do this to me.

anyhow, I feel your pain bro. Time to move on though.. get yourself a new bowl.

peace.

lol....i cant keep a glass pipe, and thats all i smoke out of. i buy so many the guy at the shell station gives me a out the door price. my current piece is j-b weld coated almost completely, i have wall to wall ceramic tile in my house so glass aint got a snow balls chance in hell around my stoner ass....sorry for your loss!
