I won nothing and so can you! A PIF

[the_edski]

Hey gents, the cosmic powers that be (read: not Jason) have conspired and said my guess of 31 in the LE pipe buy was correct. Paul L. had graciously offered to send the winner a "mint condition block of charred oak wood". I really want to win nothing, so I am ceding my rights to said chunk-o-wood. James (syngent) turned down my offer to the block, so it is now up for grabs. I'll close this PIF Thursday night at 7 PM CDT, just post "I'm in" and tell us how you would display such a honored piece of charred tree. I'm thinking CONUS only, because rumors are the Canadian Post likes to make things like this disappear, but its up to you if you want to take a chance.

P.S...the charred piece may come in some "mystery packaging"

I'll help you win nothing, then, cause that's what gentleman do for each other. lol

If the block of wood doesn't need to be kept in it's completely original condition, drilling a hole partway down through would make it into a tamper desk holder next to a pipe rack, proudly displayed.

 

[Paul L.]

That's a good idea! Can somebody get the diameter of the LE Tinsky tamper so I can make sure it fits?

I'm in. Since this block o' wood is in mint condition and collectable, I would not be drilling any holes in it. It would be displayed on my mantle right next to my vintage La Toja Manantiales and cased GEM.

 

[Paul L.]

How about if you get one mint condition, unaltered block of wood along with one modified as a tamper holder? I can work that.

Both well-packed, of course...

That's like the best of both worlds then!

 

[syngent]

I'm in

Okay maybe not, but goodluck to everyone else

 

[Hirsute]

I'm in! I would display it in a tableau with match and a cup of water, all looking nervously at one another.

The more, the merrier. Send whatever you like, Paul. I'm just the PIF holder!

Just missed the no-prize by 1, so maybe I'll get a piff? I am in.
EDIT: To answer the question- I have a new son being born next month, and I would but that chunk of wood above his crib so that he will grow up knowing that if he works hard everyday, that he may too grow up to win nothing.

 

[Rockminer]

How can anyone pass on wood, I'm in. I'm going to display it with other random pieces of wood and make people choose the grail piece like Indiana Jones.

I don't have a clue either and I'm holding the PIF!

I have faith that it will be greatness.

See, Owen has faith!
