A top-of-the-line bong maker in Amsterdam says what a string of Houston smoke shops is doing is doing is a total buzzkill.

The company says the local merchants, High Times, How High, Still Smokin, Smoke Kings and others have been peddling knock-off versions of its exclusive, award-winning glass water pipes, in violation of federal trademark law, according to court documents filed Tuesday in Houston.

The seven stores facing lawsuits Tuesday also include GM Smoke and Boutique, 290 Smoke Shop in Jersey Village and All Star Smoke Shop in Richmond. About 100 shops across Texas will soon face similar lawsuits if they continue to, you know, Bogart the sleek designer's good name, a lawyer for the company said.

---For those less hip, Sasson said, RooR water pipes are basically the equivalent of Gucci or Louis Vuitton. The fakes are cheaply made and might sell from $150 less, he said.

What are you? In High School? First off the paper towel roll starts catching fire after hard usage. Then you are blowing burning cardboard and dope. Beyond that the hit is too damn harsh. You need the water to cool that shit down when you are shot gunning smoke.

The only thing paper towel rolls are good for is filling with Bounce sheets to blow the smoke through to cut down on the smell in case the RA is walking by your door.

Wait. An article right in your wheelhouse, where your technical expertise can speak with authority, and that's all you've got?

Lame.  :nono:
