The older you get the more you realize that one bad accident can wipe out an expensive piece of glass.... or even two!!!
I hate to spend 100s on something that can be broken so easily.
The younger generation's dislike for any piece that is not expensive irritates me.
Don't ya hate it when you get a new glass piece, post a pic of it, and then some kid starts doggin it's drag and coeficient rating?

Yeah..we used to use rubber grommet cheapies. Of course, they work fine. I don't think they make it taste much different.
But the glass was thin, it all got the same after a while...and who wants rubber when you can just get a gong joint..that's how I see it at least.
...the art is a big part of it, not necessarily the money or being on some ridiculous high horse 'im classy because i use roor' thing (btw, wtF is up with that???lol).
Don't really mind smoking out of anything..long as it isn't rancidly dirty..
I think you mean the Executive Model....back in the day that is how we referred to the 21 incher....
I am very glad to have moved to a nice piece from Illadelph. My only complaint is that I have broken two ash catchers, so that is an additional 3 bills in just broken shit. No way I could have afforded that in college.
by the way I am almost 38 myself and have very fond memories of the TM.
Ill kick it back even further....how about the old US Waterpipes catalog and the Capital Hill?
peace

I have a huge RooR collection, but my pops who is 70 likes his hand-carved wood pipes..
he doesn't like to hit bongs, neither does my mom, cuz they're too harsh i guess.
oh, and old timers just get too high too quick, smoking kush out of glass bongs and such. some are down with that though. go old smokers!

About my gun statement, I thought I should clarify; I'm a hunter, and some of my friends are too. I try to keep my guns in pristine condition(clean them every time I put my greasy mits on them) as I was taught, and got to inherit the few guns I own, some which are many years older than me. I respect and take care of them like an investment. Some of my friends guns, on the other hand, are rust pitted, stock all banged all up, will shoot 3 times and won't even bother to clean the deposits; they also use crappy old/or cheap junk pipes and bongs (one is a pvc-pipe bong with stickers for Pete's sake,) because they don't really care, it's just a tool for the job, not an investment. Automobile care is another scenario most of them are guilty of.
I hear ya super zero. I hunt but got rid of the guns years ago out of paranoia. Rocking the Longbow nowadays.
My opinion about the topic is that it's not necessarily the younger generation. Anyone in marketing can tell you that the 16-24 year old range is a highly prized demographic because they haven't learned to manage their money yet. They also haven't accumulated much so as far as displaying wealth they tend to do it on things like bongs and clothes, car rims, etc. Rather than a mortgage for instance.
I think there is also a group of addicts frankly who feel the need to standardize their habit. It's hard to explain but the idea is that if you make it seem esoteric or elite it looks less pathetic. There is a guy on You tube called "hashbean" I think. He has literally thousands of dollars of glass littering his apartment. Most of them almost indecipherable from one another. Maybe a different wall thickness or two inches taller than the other but basically the same pipes.
In the video he admits they actually smoke the same (when clean) as a cheap acrylic bong which is what he buys when he goes to concerts and stuff. He says the reason he likes the fancy bongs is that cheap bongs "somehow make him feel like a loser". Well to me the answer would be not to smoke pot all damn day and do something with your life. Not buy a new 800 dollar bong two inches taller than the other identical 800 dollar bong. He has a dozen or so I suppose very similiar pipes.
You can literally buy children out of child slavery with that kind of expendable money. It just bothers me.
I personally love the easy to clean nature of GonG, and I appreciate nice glass. But I think it's easy to see where it's also a sickness in our generation. But there is definitely a happy medium of utility, beauty, and price.

When I get some free time I'm going to work on some nice wood stuff. Dugout holders are one I hadn't thought of. I just don't know folks that use them anymore
There is a lack of two things I think there is a niche market for though. Toker trays. Just pretty small wooden lap trays to hold your items on.
And bowl holders. Just like a pen holder but set to hold 3-5 GonG bowls when not in use.

The thread I said that in got merged. Out of context it sounds wrong. What I was talking about was in reference to exotic woods.
They have bowl holders and little rolling trays and stuff on that site but when I said that we were talking about high quality exotic woods. Those are pretty rinky dink (the ones I saw anyway).
I've seen serving trays at home decor stores that were similar to what I was talking about, but never in a head shop.
