Hmmmmm...on second thought, gouging for Christmas Cheer isn't enough in keeping in the spirit. At the very least it should also include droit du seigneur as well.
:) maybe I should learn to get to the point more quickly. But what fun is that and I think people learn better if you nudge them towards your point instead of giving it to them straight. Of course except the times the opposite is true.
droit du seigneur though that's apparently about as real as the magic machine guns in movies that only run out of ammo at plot convenient points. Or any other gun or police thing in most movies.

Well, first of all, you didn't supply me with anything i didn't already know. And don't be too sure that I've been nudged. I'm all for selflessness. There's incredible power in it.

Even in the hub of capitalism, markets, there's a common refrain that recognizes the pitfall of self obsessed material gratification. "Pigs get slaughtered".

The Butera product is pretty good, but isn't exactly the same as Dark Star. It employs a slightly different blend of McClelland Virginias.

No one said you didn't know. Just explain the method behind the boringness.
That saying kind of reminds me of the times people can't get it through their head that sometimes the seemingly selfless act is actually extremely pragmatic. Also reminds me that the thing I've seen kill more business ventures then anything else is the believe that growth must be constant and anything else is stagnation.
Finally every single time people say this blend is really just this blend. I think who needs a refined palate to enjoy a pipe, what a silly myth that one is.
