Quote from: Omega;997046I want one of these dice bags.

I've got one like that - the Chessex guys were here for GenghisCon... last year... and they were selling them, although my impression was that someone in Chessex (or their wife) were making them and selling them at the booth.

Quote from: Willie the Duck;996556I'm pretty sure I once had that exact pipe.

Probably not exactly so, since that appears to be a handmade.

Out of curiosity, how did you determine that? It looks like a machine made mark on the side (that I can't read), and that's all the writing I see.

Regardless, it's not like I have my original any more to compare. So yes, I had what in my mind/memory looked exactly like that.

Its a classic shape that is somewhat common with little variations. Since the one in the pic is wood then it probably was hand made. Since it has what looks like a company stamp on the side, R??Y, its either a company logo or a personal one

Have a look at this video for an example.

Quote from: tenbones;994933Ironically at 2AM getting out of my friend's truck in the parking lot of his apartment - he kept all our dice in his tupperware container. It slid right off the top of the pile of books I was carrying and it was like slow-motion...

NOOOOOoooooooOOOOOooooOOOOO!!!!!

The tupperware container exploded on impact - dice skittering everywhere in the dark, under everyone's cars, in oily grease-spots..... yeah. Suckage.

Yeah that sucks.

Quote from: tenbones;994935am I the only one that drinks on this thread? I use a proper dice-bag with a single set of metal dice now. I keep a big cigar-box full of my favorite sets. I keep a dice-jar for a graveyard of broken sets.

I don't drink Crown. I do Makers and/or Jack.

No you are not though I Never used A CR bag I would have gotten one given free but I did want to use it being 15 at the time and liveing in A town where the cops are ass holes I didn't want to put up with the crap.
As to sets I only have 1 full set as all my dice came from A chesex pound O' dice so they are all orphans save that 1 set.

Quote from: Ratman_tf;994972Not that they actually do, but they sound like they do. And when being rolled next to painted miniatures... it makes me nervous.

Good excuse to repaint A bad paint job though.

Quote from: SgtSpaceWizard;994975I'm a cheap drunk who normally buys Old Crow, but yes I have done this.

Are you my bother

?? Do you drink Mr Boston to?

I am going to put this the politest way possible screw you not at the cost of A magic or duel monsters deck.

Quote from: Spinachcat;995063I've always had Crown Royal bags for my dice. Oddly, I don't remember drinking any though.

If I could fit dice in Patron bottles, I'd use those instead!

It was hysterical in high school when teachers saw we all had Crown Royal bags or Skoal containers for dice.

I love it.

Quote from: Voros;995351Didn't know this was possible. Maybe CR is a Canadian thing.

It's not Wisconsin drinks it's good share.

Quote from: Spike;995512I got some Laphroaig earlier this year that was bad. Toxic bad. Replaced the bottle, same deal, so it seems they put out a bad batch recently, which makes me sad.

I've had great luck with Monkey Shoulder, and I replaced the Laphoaig with Craigellachie that is pretty good, but I'm liking the Monkey Shoulder better... and it's cheaper! I'm still exploring scotches, so my experience isn't that great... I used to drink either Vodka or Tequila almost exclusively, and I had a distaste for bourbon dating way, way back.

Me? No, no... I'm a Johnston(e) on my mother's side, and my father's side is... (redacted for privacy)*... which may be found all over the isles. Mercenaries, we were, and leaving kin in our wake just about everywhere.

I meant the scotch the cute one in the green plastic bottle on the bottom shelf.

yeah, I had an epiphany about two in the morning that I'd answered the wrong question... much too late to do anything about it, but since I'm not seeing any cute green bottles on the bottom shelf (of what?), I have a good excuse.

Here's A picture I am sorry I should have been clear with my phrasing in my last 2 posts.

Wisconsin is pretty much Canada. It was close enough for Dave Nelson!

Hah! Of course Manchester and Essex/Sussex are the same place if you consider Daphne Moon.

The mark on the side is probably the only thing that's machine made, which is just the mark of the brand. You don't usually see curves like that on a machine-made model. Most high-end pipes are hand-made. Which is different than saying "hand carved", which would be if no machinery at all were used.
