that gave me a good laugh xD funny phrase to use ^_^

If it smokes nice, would be awesome to have it on some kind tri-pod stuff, to make it stand up still.

Or maybe have it shoved in the sand of the beach, while you chill on a hammock like this one, till sun goes down

Might be tough to judge water level, but that is definitely a very cool (and environmentally friendly) concept. I'm definitely down for sticking that thing on the beach with a couple fine brews and enjoying the waves and sun.

Seems a bit much, I just can't imagine those being very good hookah pipes. But, hey, who knows?

Rather fancy. A friend of mine had one from the gulf he picked up in the 1930's, no turned wood and a long reed for the hose,you held it when you smoked it. Some I've seen had little plain iron welded tripods.

Those are still easily available in the Gulf, I saw them being sold in the souq in Bahrain, although the vase is like a terracotta jar rather than a coconut

Here's a pic I found of one:

I may be dating myself, but I used to have a 45 of Spike Jones singing it.

You're never too old or too young to like Spike Jones. If you like artists like Weird Al and the stuff Dr Demento spins, then Spike Jones should really be a part of your music collection.

I'd get one just to show off as a conversation piece! When you're hanging out with fellow shisha enthusiasts, sometimes it's hard to find something this unique.
