Cello on or off?

03-17-2010, 09:55 PM

This may be TMI...but I remove the cello from my Opus #5's to keep on hand in case I run out of condoms.

Excellent review.

Every couple of months I remove all my cigars from the cello. Then I carefully turn the cello inside out, and replace the cigars into the now reversed cello. If you don't do this, the oils imparted from the cigar will eventually clog the cello and negatively impact the aging of said cigar. This is very important. Additionally, it's helpful to remove and reverse the positions of the bands, should the cigar in question have more than one band on it. My cigars are always thanking me for doing them these small favors.

Also, there's a rumor in the asylum that Peter can predict the future. Anyone else hear this?

It's no rumor.

Just a little white dot since photobucket images are blocked here at work.

It's just Johnny Carson as Carnac, so stick your tongue back in your mouth where it belongs.

Hair loss and nasty farts.

As a quality control experiment, I suppose that one could remove half the cello from a stick, but which half? There are so many to choose from.

Discuss.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I need you to take care of my cigars.
Not that I think for a minute you ever did any of this kind of stuff, but I do believe you can make me believe it, given the proper opportunity.

And yeah, Peter knows stuff.

I'm currently working on a small dremel attachment that I'll be able to use to both polish the cello and gently massage the wrappers, allowing both to breathe easier.

Wait - today's the 18th. Does that mean the blarney ends for another year?

everything in my house is still in cello now if I could just turn on my TV

Hey y'all my Hadji internet has been out for about two weeks... It came back on line tonight. I don't really give a sh*t about the cello, but this was the first solid, gut busting laugh I have had in a while. Don't let that get out to the Col. though I will be reduced in rank because 3rd ID doesn't believe in morale.

Mine are stripped down and go into the humi Naked! No Cello Here - by the way some said they came that way - well many of the fine ones do not come that way and it is for a reason.

They also look better and feel better in the nude.
