MechAnt Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Come,Gather round, light up some coals and pull up a pipe. For the time through which the saga of the mini phunnel will be told has come.There lies a small hamlet called HookahForum.com in which hookah smokers from near and far gather to discuss hookah amongst many other things. Most all are welcome except for the very few who come and cause trouble among the relatively well behaved natives. Regardless, hookah is sacred in this little village and brings together strangers and makes everlasting bonds that cannot be broken despite the native's exotic backgrounds from the World (Wide Web).No one knows how long these natives have had their establishment. They bring well made and not so well made hookahs from across the globe. From the ancient practice of Egyptian pipes to those made without the contact of human hand. Yet, their practices were primitive at best. The use of handmade clay bowls to the ceramic pieces, the natives in their naivete thought they have conquered the sacred practice of smoking hookah.One day, from the land where the sun sets, a stranger from the South West arrived. He was a mysterious figure, his face, hidden (No face pictures of him, info for the noobs). The glare of the setting sun obscures his complexion to the masses. The mysterious man, referred to as Sonthert or Eric, brought with him a strange darkness. Not darkness of an eclipse caused by the angered hookah gods, but black gold. Eric dubbed it Tangiers, a name for the blessing on the villagers.Alas! Only those few older and more experienced natives could harness the blessing of Tangiers. Those who neglect the lonely search button are punished by the black tobacco with harshness and unbelievably horrid taste. However, Eric was patient with the primitive peoples. Soon, many were reaping the rewards. He was praised and deservedly became the Holy One. The prophet to the Hookah Gods. The villagers were pleased and as were the gods.A normal day comes by but with a surprise. Eric the Holy One, arrived from the strange land of San Diego once again bearing yet another blessing upon the villagers. The blessing was not more black gold but rather an orifice that soon will become the very link between the villagers and hookah nirvana. The so revered Phunnel (strangely, misspelled but the villagers had no minding to this minor error and embraced it so). This sacred vessel was the newest rendition of the one vessel that links the participant and their ever so loved shisha.Obsolete was the standard Egyptian style bowl. No longer is it the only way toward shisha goodness. The Phunnel is still today the preferred orifice through which the villagers sacrifice flavored tobacco to the gods. The villagers were happy, as were the gods.Many years passed since the introduction of the sublime Phunnel and Tangiers. Many wars have been fought and many confrontations confronted. From the vicious HP War (don't ask) that saw many casualties and excommunication to the sad, bitter departure of Smiley and Nargile Club. Even the GenuineHookah and PimpYourHookah fiascoes passed with relatively little thought after a few months. The recurring war with the infamous Jimmy was fought many times over and still the hamlet of HookahForum stood strong. (OLD DRAMA, DON'T BOTHER ASKING ABOUT IT)Those members who were so inclined to take the perilous journey to the Holy Land of San Diego poured praises of it from their mouths. They spoke of Eric's never ending hospitality and greatness earning him a reputation of a legend in addition to his prophet status. However, one day, villagers coming back from the treacherous journey from San Diego arrived elated and gushing with pride and gratefulness. Upon showing the others, the others refused to believe what they saw. Those few who were able to visit Eric in San Diego brought back with them a Phunnel. Nay, it is not just a regular phunnel. Alas, it was an elusive and holy Mini Phunnel. The villagers were roused to action in consulting the prophet Eric.They cried out and sacrificed many kilograms of shisha in honor of Eric and the Hookah Gods' greatness in their regular phunnels. Instead of turning a deaf ear, Eric reached out to his beloved villagers and proposed to them an offer. Only those selected will be offered the opportunity to earn a holy Mini Phunnel. Villagers gathered in the village Trading Square swamping the platform on which Eric's chosen one would take the responsibility of transporting and distributing these coveted orifices. His name was Indian Villager. People threw themselves down on their knees and threw dust all over themselves proving to the Hookah Gods that they are not worthy. The Gods were pleased with their humility and so ordered Eric to increase the number of Mini Phunnels to be given to HookahForum.And with all the logistics of a great undertaking taken care of, villagers began their excited journey toward owning a Mini Phunnel. As a group through which moral support could be shared, the Oatmeal Cult was formed. It was a group of humble villagers that were so inclined to keep Indian Villager on his toes and provide all the needed support. In the depths of clandestine meetings in HF Chat, the Oatmeal Cult had meetings discussing their ever growing desire for Mini Phunnels.Soon, the villagers grew weary of incessant delays of payment and creation of the Mini Phunnels. The Oatmeal Cult being those who spearheaded the unrest. Indian Villager assured all denizens of the creation of Mini Phunnels. He beseeched the villagers to practice patience. The Oatmeal Cult's once good intentions of moral support quickly turned to greed. The Hookah Gods were unhappy with the villagers and their lack of faith in the Holy Eric Hoffman. They sent down one of their own to help Indian Villager in the quelling of the uprising much to the benefit of his own health.The villagers, now quenched of their fiery desire, were given hope. News of the completion of the Mini Phunnels brings adulation in the village and sacrifices of shisha were plenty. The Holy Eric, according to given news, has begun the assembly of the caravan that will transport the Mini Phunnels to Indian Villager. He will soon be able to distribute the sacred pieces to the ever patient villagers.Keep strong faith my friends for the day of ascension into hookah Nirvana will arrive to us chosen. This week, next week, we may never know. All we can do is remain faithful and strong until that day. And so the saga continues.............
