    I'm Bloody Livid: Amazon Refuse to Sell Me a Set of Kitchen Knives.

    Glamping is nothing new; it's been all the rage for almost twenty years. And by the way you might want to rethink the casual use of the phrase "pitch a tent".

    I'm Bloody Livid: Amazon Refuse to Sell Me a Set of Kitchen Knives.

    I think I know the reason. My guess is the subject of the play was the famous slow smoke held to celebrate the successful Maccabean Revolt. The winner kept his pipe lit for eight days.

    Appalling. I’m sure the editors of your local paper felt quite virtuous about what they accomplished. There is no limit to the damage the sanctimonious can/will do.

    Sometimes they’re the same thing. I know a few.

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    Boxes I can sometimes dig up, cases and sleeves generally not. What era are you looking for? Have you reviewed the fairly complete runs of catalogs floating around? That might be a decent chronological source.

    I think she resisted arrest and died during the shootout. They’d never have caught her if her crimes hadn’t had a pattern.

    This is always a great idea. Many States mandate that Experian, Transunion, and Equifax have to offer this service for free. While a credit freeze doesn’t prevent identity theft it does significantly limit the damage that can be done since all new credit issuance (eg new credit cards...

    Chicago 2024: Who's going?

    I got one but will opt for the atrium next year. Very oddly the renovated tower rooms have no bureaus, nightstands, closets or desks. They only have a mini shoe drawer under a clothes rod. It’s almost as if the designer had no understanding of what transient guests commonly need. Supposedly...

    I'm Bloody Livid: Amazon Refuse to Sell Me a Set of Kitchen Knives.

    I’m fuzzy on this. If credit history is the issue it should affect your ability to buy anything, not just knives. But if you’re using debit cards with a positive balance on Amazon why should creditworthiness matter? Are kitchen knives a controlled product in the UK? Are these particular...

    Lester Young Repeats as USA Slow Smoking Champion!

    Congratulations Les! I tried to get Les to let me take a selfie of us when we were together yesterday but when he found out I’d won the bag of matches in every slow smoke I’d competed in he demurred. And after brief reflection he scoffed. I’d never heard anyone scoff out loud before. It...

    These specimens are even more highly prized, representing the highly innovative, if somewhat slobbery, OD(ie) line of pipes.
