Best way to un-weld pipe?

I've got an old fence I want to salvage some pipe from. It's a two
rail fence made out of 2 3/8 drill pipe. I've cut the top rail off of
the uprights, but I'm left with a short stub of pipe welded on every
12 feet. I need to cut those off.
I can do it with a cutoff wheel and a grinder, but it takes a while.
Anybody got a good way to get these off pretty fast? It doesn't have
to be that pretty.
Cutting torch. Sawzall with a metal-cutting blade. Take your pick.
No, no, no, silly.
Turn it on a lathe, of course. Stop just short of the zinc plating.
