you know the cost of propane off hand.

you know the people at the welding shop personaly.

you know how to program a kiln controler in multi segment ramps yet still cant change the clock on your vcr.

your fav color is made by ga,ns,mk,pc

You spend more time cleaning glass then cleaning windows

You have developed a "glass eye"

you order supplys like people order things outta eddie bower.

Your work shift starts at 12 and ends about the time you pass out.

Your broke but some how have 500 dollors worth of supplies comming.

You have a torch birth day. and make a peice to celebrate.

you quit smoking to get more glass

you have more books on glass then you had during all of high school.

when you think of a honey moon in venice its working in a hot shop sweating.

jacks are for goblets not a game played by children

you cover your drink with a GA user card to keep glass shards outta it while you hydrate

thought about whereing a hydration blatter so you wouldnt have to pause to hydrate.

when temperture doesnt deter you from working .... it just dictates duration
(wow its 35 degrees out ill only be able to work for 4 hours before i better come in and heat up my whole body)

you know how to properly say dichro.

when your heros are so obscure even other glass workers dont know who they are.

When you have gas your excited ( yay im going to this years GAS confernce)

when a flame off doesnt involve the internet (eugine flame off)

You consiter a hot shop cool

you see the most fascinating bird or butterfly and you can only describe the tints in it's plumage in terms of the Northstar catalogue

**timinny420** · 05-08-2006, 08:08 PM

you only talk to people who know the exact shade and hue of the color of said bird or butterfly you just described to them useing only glass color names -- and if you said it looked like mint they ask GA or NS

When you say......dammit, i'm on fire again.

when you can make a board game with the blood trails in the studio.

you start wondering what will melt in front of the torch

you discover a new way to light the fire pit

your talking about glass and you get wierd looks b/c people think you are a tweeker

you have dozens of women(or men) crawling all over you because your so hot ( then you wake up)

flamejob has a new definition to you

i know theres more to think of later........

**mindblowingglass** · 05-08-2006, 10:03 PM

You talk about spending all day in front of a glory hole (but are not a swinger)

You frequently walk into a studio with a glass laden floor, bare foot, with no hesitation

You cauterize cuts that should have definitely gotten stitched (again with no hesitation)

Your first though on removing a embedded piece of glass is a pair of tweezers ,needle, razor blade, lighter and some hydrogen peroxide. ( a doctor is not even a thought)

Aloe is the most used plant from your garden

You have glass that is permanently embedded somewhere in your body

**Anakin's Glass Eye** · 05-08-2006, 10:33 PM

You use a lot of SPF 40 but have not been to the beach in years.

Even your kids are bored to tears when you start talking about marbles, again.

**gotglass?** · 05-09-2006, 04:18 AM

Can you have safe sex at the torch? I thought Clinton made it clear that oral is not sex, per se.

well if your bench is high enough you could hit it doggy style..... or if the female is doing the blowing and not from under the bench .....you could take her from behind..... the question isn't " is it possible?" it's " is there a flame retardant form of protection? "

**Marc VandenBerg** · 05-09-2006, 05:06 AM

You know using a large bench torch out of the hot shop is the only way to fire up the coals for the barbeque. Its as fast as using a propane grill but you still get that cooked over open coals flavor.

**Wonker** · 05-09-2006, 07:11 AM

You wonder if chicken out of the oven should be annealed at 400 or 425

**steven p selchow** · 05-09-2006, 07:15 AM

Your the only glassblower with 3rd degree burns all over his feet from the hot coals when you used the python to lite the coals, and melted the weber.

**Chris Carlson** · 05-09-2006, 12:21 PM

you move from LA to Eugene...

**Anakin's Glass Eye** · 05-09-2006, 12:33 PM

When you do have money for food you buy only frozen pizzas that will fit in your kiln.

**Anakin's Glass Eye** · 05-09-2006, 12:35 PM

When your first thought after giving yourself a third degree burn on your hand is to get the digital camera so you can show your glass buddies on the forum.

I've tried the Lynx hand torch for lighting the coals and I think I scorched the coals and wood, and produced a weird flavor. Maybe something reacted with all the oxygen I was pumping in there after the fire was lit.

The hot head seems to work well enough and is a little more convenient.

**edeezevon** · 05-10-2006, 07:21 AM

i couldnt sleep last night causi i kept thinkin of the 'safe sex' torch joke and all i kept thinking was theres gotta be a needle dick clogged port joke in there somwhere!i'm ill tho.

**edeezevon** · 05-10-2006, 08:33 AM

ok how about,you constantly talk about how much you love your new ball grabber and your wife doesnt get mad!

**BlueDevil** · 05-10-2006, 08:39 AM

when you pets start having all glass names. (my Dog Boro)

**somberbear** · 05-10-2006, 08:46 AM

you have pictures of your work but you dont have pictures of yourself atleast not reacent ones.

you have to turn on the kiln before you coffee so its warms up for work.

cooking things at 425 seams low and slow.

you have a tools that your not sure what they do or what to use them for but you know theyll be bad ass.

You own more graphite then screw drivers.

If you break a dish you think about replacing it with something you made.

you contemplate fixing your coffee pot yourself.

when you hear people talking about crack , you wonder if it was a color incompatibility or a stress crack and not the drug.

you have a set of boro bbq tools. just cause.

you have glass company stickers plastered on your car instead of bumper stickers
