What's new

Ho Ho Ho! Has PRICE been Naughty or Nice?

Mr Price,

According to Section 39 of the North Pole International Treaty of 1918, I'm required to inform you that my elves have red-flagged your karma account and gave me no explanation for their doing so. It could be that they smoked some of their records as they did last year -silly elves - or some other such elvish non-sense, but no matter, technology isn't frowned upon here at the North pole and as such, the new Central Scrutinizer System(tm) by Apple, is targeting you and we WILL get to the bottom of this issue... Mrs Claus has offered to provide your legal representation pro bono... good luck with that Ho Ho Ho (pun intended?).

So, have you been naughty or nice, Mr. Price?

Sincerely,
Chris Kringle XVI
 
On the advice of counsel, I cannot answer on the grounds that I might incriminate myself. However, I would like to point out that the evidence against me is purely circumstantial and in no way proves me Naughty Beyond a Reasonable Doubt. The miscreant in those incriminating photos is not me. Actually, I think it's probably James - he's the guilty one.



BTW, Mrs. Claus is a real firecracker in the...uh, courtroom. I'm sure she will be able to get me off. (Off the naughty list, I mean.) As soon as my legal troubles are behind me and I'm squarely on the nice list, I would like to discuss the possibility of putting some nice tobaccos under my tree this year. The reindeer poop aromatic you left me last year burns kinda hot, and the room note is just a little off-putting. I'm a fan of VA's and most Lakelands, and I've started to gain an appreciation of some of the smoother English blends, too. If all the tobacco at the north pole is frozen solid, some pipe-related goodie would be great, maybe a small roll-up pouch or some pipe literature. Of course, I don't really "need" anything, so whatever your elves put together will be much appreciated.

Thanks Santa!
 
Yeah, I've been thinking about picking up one of these...

Actually, I think Blade Boy probably already has one.

Dear Mr Price.

Having consulted extensively with the Elves and The Central Scrutinizer we've decided that you've exhibited both nice and naughty qualities this year - but Mrs Claus has trumped the Central Scrutinizer's vague findings by saying "sure Price has been a little naughty... but naughty in a good way, a really REALLY good way" to which I asked her to spare us the details, thus, according to SWMBO, you will NOT be receiving either coal, dottle or any goopy aromatic this year, but rather a little something to remember her by. Whatever that means. Harrumph.

So, to get to the point, a package is en route from smokingpipes.com to you, but remember, Mr. Price, if you open it before Christmas it will in fact turn to a goopy aromatic and Mrs Claus will NOT forget the transgression. Trust me, she doesn't just look like an elephant, she has the memory of one as well. (OUCH!) she just slapped me, for that one. Ho Ho Ho, indeed.

Might leave her a little dottle in her stocking (Ouch!!!! just kidding honey)

Back to the lists I go.... hmmm, what's this? James? (tsk tsk tsk)

Merry Christmas!!

Sincerely

Ho! Ho! Ho! I've got a bad ticker, you know? And the Mrs. has quite the appetite, if you know what I mean. By the way, jmallen5, Mrs. Claus says you are on the naughty list ad infinitum for calling her fat. Here's me and that little mynx at the North Pole end-of-the-season bash last year:

Well you refered to her as an elephant, I don't recall her being so rotund personaly. Maybe she has been over-eating due to a lack of vitamin J.:thumbup:
 
A nice box from smokingpipes.com was waiting for me when I came home from work this evening, which is now sitting under my tree until Christmas. Thanks Santa!
 
Woohoo! Santa hooked me up! A very nice Peterson two-pipe bag, with some pipe cleaners thrown in for good measure. Thanks Santa! (Oh, and tell the Mrs. thanks for me, too. She'll know why.)
