I lost a dear close friend last night

[DPD6030]

That's right. Last night while at a herf hosted by KenS at his home I lost my dear Ronson jet-lite. The button no longer clicked to ignite. I decided that since it's been with me about a year or a bit longer that I'd give it the proper burial. Please take a moment of silence and remember Ronson.

[hotreds]

brings tears to my eyes. I dont know what I would do If my Ronnie died.:rolleyes:

Did you do an autopsy? You might have been able to do surgery and save its life! Are you sure it stopped breathing???;)

The sad story of a man and his lighter.. :(




:)

[kelmac07]

Thoughts with you...how was the eulogy?

[Gophernut]

Sometimes the best way to get over an old lighter that is no longer with us, is to go out and get a new one. Either way, I'll burn a cigar in Ronson's honor this weekend.

You think I might have buried him alive :jd Oh no!

[DPD6030]

Thoughts with you...how was the eulogy?

It went like this:

Today a dear close friend passes on to light the way in heaven for fellow members of the leaf that have passed on. Ronson was there for me through many good times and a few bad times. Ronson never complained and always did the job even if it meant getting banged up from time to time. I have to replace you and I hope you can find it in your flame to forgive me. You know that you will never be forgotten as we both shared some great memories and cigars. Your torch may have gone out here on earth my friend but now you light the way in heaven. One day we will meet up again and share a smoke.

:( That is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard..RIP Ronson

[AriesOpusX]

R.I.P Clicky. My ronson is currently on life support, it takes a few shakes of the wrist to ignite.

[TripleF]

You're sick!





Prolly why I like you :D

:tpd:

Good thing there is an Asylum for you Nuts!

[HK3-]

I was able to see Ronson last night before he took his last flicker of flames in Andrews hand. It was a sad day to remember.
















WE ARE ILL. :r

Andrew, I'm so sorry for your loss... http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Sad/sad-032.gif ... I'll smoke a stick in his honor tonight!


:rolleyes:

[taltos]

Andrew, you are so far up stream that the last salmon that you saw was waving bye bye. Your material here is some of the funniest stuff I have read in a long time.:tu

[lightning9191]

:r Funny stuff there!

[KidRock]

Andrew,

Your Ronson and my Vortech lighters are in a better place where there is no pain or discomfort.

[taltos]

Your Ronson can now light the way for all of those poor lighters born as Colibris.

[Emjaysmash]

My Ronson has been with me for 2 years so far...

Im sorry to hear of your loss...I saw another one the other day...maybe he'll find his way to you... :tu

[DPD6030]

I grieved with a 06 Cohiba Pyramid and a homemade mojito. Made me feel better that's for sure :)

[jjirons69]

It's a more fitting burial than Spooble's toss off the penthouse balcony to the pool cabana roof.

[14holestogie]

You poor, poor man. :r

[Bruzee]

I just wasted 5 minutes of my life I can never get back reading this thread. :r

[Sailchaser]

Andrew,

I blew off a ceremonial salutes of the cannon tonight and I lined up all my lighters in formation. Then we threw a wreath in to the canal to finish off the ceremony. Of course we were all formally dressed.
It was a hard day but together we can all make it through the day.
Pictures will be on the news tonight at 11








































By the way I have a drawer of them if you need one let me know

[dunng]

Sorry for your loss. Mine normally go MIA... :ss

[taltos]

I can't match Chris and fire a cannon to mourn your loss but I did light off a :pn with one of my Ronsons in honor of your lost comrade. Hang tough little fella and you will get over this loss.:tu

[CBI_2]

:r:r:r Your a crazy man Andrew. I guess that's why your in the asylum.

[Cigary]

The best thing about a Ronson is that they are a huge family and you can go out and get another one that will do the same thing your old one did. I bought the whole family when I bought my first one,,,all 12 of them and I am still using the first one. The others sit around a whine about when it is going to be their turn and it gets rather annoying so I had to put the rest in the bottom drawer with a promise that at some point I will use them,,,but only one at a time and it could be a long long time. They all Boo'd me and I closed the drawer.

Now thats some funny chit there........funny and oh so true......:)

That's it I may just have to buy me a Ronson now. I had never heard of them till this forum. I like my xikar but man this forum shows more than alittle love to the Ronson.

[kzm007]

The Ronson may be in Heaven, but isn't fire better suited to Hell?

*laughs evilly*

My condolences otherwise, sir :)

[Ahbroody]

Im that one Ahole who is always making noise during the moment of silence :fu

[RevSmoke]

I begin prayers for you and the family as I read the subject line and am going to post, and then...

... it is your lighter.

He was a good friend and I know you had many fond memories of him, Andrew! May he rest in peace after his final light!:tu
