FEVERED PIPE DREAMS

During the day I filled two bowls with a well-made tobacco that epitomizes rank perversion. Which I smoked. And thoroughly enjoyed. At one point Hecky demanded that I get the hell away from him with that nasty stuff. The refined urinal cake odour was, he opined, vile and nasty. Utterly repugnant, and I was a big meanie.

Well, I also convinced two of the members of the pipe club, which met today, to try the stuff.
So there was a constant almost subconscious hint of it at the edge of perception.
Hecky may have felt under siege.

Yeah, there is now a faint ghosting in both pipes. It will probably take half a dozen smokes each to remove that. It's worth the sacrifice, and I fondly remember the time when there was a faint whorehouse funk to one of my bowls (lasted for three more smokes), as well as the evening when Curtis was convinced that some criminal was huffing a fruity aromatic in his nice clean virginal cocktail lounge the horror the horror.

Also, I know that the gentler sex rather like the smell. Which is odd.
It's a product that seems to make strange things happen.
Almost a supernatural bane or curse.
Bad aura tobacco.

Bern reminisced about Spain, West Africa, and that Flamenco dancer. Charles went on and on about eating silkworms. Neil sat in his corner looking miserable and depressed, Christian gibbered about the sacred precinct, and almost as if by magic small bottles of Habanero chili hotsauce appeared on the table. Much fine liver pâté was consumed. Along with cheese. Prostates, cataracts, and thyroids were discussed. Along with surgical management.
Plus floods. Eruptions. Emergency barriers. Magma flows.

Someone confused Murphy with a taxi driver.

The Mallard was smoked too.

On the bus back to the city there were an awful lot of confused foreigners. Apparently you can urinate against the bus, but not on the bus. Irrespective of the vehicle's direction.
That perfumed pipe tobacco must have somehow caused all this.
I shall not mention that belief to Hecky.
Because he would agree.


It was a good meeting. Around a dozen members.
Most of them quite sober. Most of the time.
