My fuckin Zippo

[ForumTroll]

If everyone is BonerJoe, this may explain my weight problem.

I never used a fuckin Zippo dude.  Never once, in however long.  How old am I, eighty seven?  I filled that fucking thing twice.  Lookit how many cars I wrecked and shit.  How the fuck is that thing still with me?

Fuckin love, Bro.  Thats why.

I feel the same way about my cat sometimes.

I'm also kinda pissed nobody bought me a tattoo yet.

Just sayin.

you a might too picky, negroe.....
if'n you don mind me sayin so


also:
there's nothing on earth like the metallic click-clack of a zippo lid...


as another aside:
you should buy one-a those cig rolling machines.
you buy the empty pre-rolled papes w/ filter & buy whatever blend you like
& voila, you gots dirt-cheepy smokes.

I have one of those, but ever since they raised the taxes on loose tobacco here it's more expensive to roll your own than just buy factory rolled cigs

I was in a reflective moment about the Zippo.  Still don't know how it managed to magnetically stick to me through all the various places, boxes of junk. 

Cat is alike, in a furry way.  Felis Domesticus, bring 'em from place to place.  Set 'em down, and you say "we live here now" and they somehow get it. 

I have a bunch that are in orbit outside the asteroid belt, long-time hangers.  The kids cat, Salem, she's about twelve, I guess.  My mom's cat, the big furry one that looks super-stoned all the time.  I found him outside the other day, leisurely eating the head off a bunny.  I said "Dude!  What are you doing!?" and he just looked up all half-tarded, fresh in the mellow glow of a bunny-eating session, and said "Eating the head off this bunny, man."  I was like, aiite.  As you were. 

I donno how many cats I've had.

How often do you refill yours?

Mine's from '04, seems like I need to refill it more frequently as time goes on.. maybe my fluid is losing it potency. I try not to let it get bone dry, as I understand that creates the need for more frequent filling.. dunno.

Re: Dragline and Joel

Its not really all that cheap.  I was thiking about getting loose tobacco in a huge order from American Spirit, the indian tribe.  They'll sell bulk, and theres no added chemicals according to what little literature I've seen.  100% natural blend.  The papers (with filter) are actually the more expensive part, since they started the taxstamp bullshit.  And you have to get good paper, or they'll taste like shit.  

If I really wanted to make a fuss about being cheap, I could just have a friend mail me some from NC.  I buy packs because I've been planning on quitting, which should happen beginning in the next week.

Every other day I just add a little squirt. 

I like to keep the Zippo semi-dry because if you fill it too much it'll leak in your pocket. 

You should change the wick if its not acting properly - pull it up and snip it off.  The wick gets charred and doesn't take a spark.

UPDATE

I still love my Zippo. 

I was reflecting on my Zippo love tonight, on the porch.  I was thinking about how they're valuable tools in the dependability department.  I need to stock up on the flints.  A flint will easily last you over a thousand sparks. 

Zippo ProTip, you can keep an extra flint in the bottom of your Zippo.  or two, or three.  Yep, you can do that.

I bought a brand new brass colored one for 25 cents at a yard sale today. Woo.

[Bill Brasky]

Right on. 

The brand new brass ones are from Marlboro.  They should say Zippo on the bottom, from Bradford PA.

[hellbilly]

Ahh yes.. I forgot.

I did trim the wick & replaced the flint. I think my problem was that I'd left the lighter out on the deck for too many hours in the sun.

Hmmm.  Am I BonerJoe?  Because I'm pretty sure I'm me.

[Bill Brasky]
