    Hello from Maine

    Welcome from Greene, ME -- next town upriver from Lewiston.

    Comedic Legend Joe Flaherty is Dead at 82.

    I was thinking of the wrong guy when I clicked on this! I think now that the guy I thought this name was -- was "Joe Flynn" (maybe?), the guy who played Captain Binghamton in McHale's Navy. I guess he left us quite a few years back, though.

    A Little Humor for the Day

    Worked for a couple some years ago who had a home built for them, the wife of which actually had their bedroom repainted 5 times -- each and every time with a different shade of "white".

    Tobacco Hutch Project

    You can tell that no cat has yet to discover this horizontal surface as a place to nap, curling up and stretching out, displacing all things onto the floor that are not the cat itself. (looks purty nice!)

    Ceramic Kitchen Knives: Any Good?

    I remember the same complaint once being bandied about (pre-internet) how much harder it is to sharpen a stainless steel blade versus carbon-steel. I suppose it's all a matter of relativity of materials familiar to those unfamiliar. ???

    SmokingPipes Badges & Benefits?

    Then you had better place enough orders for pipe tobacco to make up for what I can't legally purchase any more. If many more states enact similar laws, all of our online stores will go belly up.

    SmokingPipes Badges & Benefits?

    Totally and entirely pointless for those of us who live in Maine and a few other states which have outlawed online and mail-order pipe tobacco purchases.

    Pipe Sighting at the Movies

    I dunno. Once my mom asked me "If they call wine drinkers winos, why don't they call beer drinkers beeroes?"

    Are Netflix and the Like Dying?

    I remember one of the early CGI-using movies, The Last Starfighter, back when the digital artifacts were still very evident on the silver screen (and later, just as obvious on your analog TV screen as well). One of the larger defects of the networks that resulted in my not watching TV any...

    Are Netflix and the Like Dying?

    An old Maine humorist known as The Humble Farmer once quipped something about: "Who needs a remote control? When I get too lazy to tell the old lady to get up and change the channel I might as well die."

    A Little Humor for the Day

    I seem to remember that word is also the name of where Renaissance era Englishmen went on weekends to do their duty to the crown by practicing their archery.

    The Famous or Infamous You have Met

    It seems that whenever I do meet someone famous, they're a lesser-famed individual of the same name. I met Jerry West in '69, no, not the basketball player but Jerry West the squaredance caller recording artist. I've encountered a number of Sci-Fi actors at various conventions, but being...

    The Famous or Infamous You have Met

    Yaz, but he made me promise not to tell anybody where he's hiding.

    Old Boy Flint Wheel Gets Stuck

    You can wonder where my mind was, because when I read this thread's title, I found myself what style of wheel-lock smoothbore musket you were shooting.

    A Little Humor for the Day

    There's an old rhyme that goes: "Whether it's cold, Or whether it's hot, We're going to have weather, Whether or not."
