    My car burns coconuts

    It worked out in the end. He realized, being in Chicago, that I probably only knew Mexican. We laughed about it soon after.

    My car burns coconuts

    I got in a little bit of trouble once for using the Mexican "guey" at a European Spanish person. Not sure exactly how one dialect's "dude" becomes another dialect's "cuckold" but I can tell you it makes for an awkward dinner.

    My car burns coconuts

    I was told by coworkers that if you were to tell your friends at the end of a night out at the cantina "I'm taking the bus home" it means very different things between Mexico and Guatemala.

    My car burns coconuts

    After working with a bunch of people from various Central and South American countries, I can tell you that the difference in slang from spanish-speaking place to spanish-speaking place is _way_ bigger than the difference between British and American english.

    Nording Is Closing Up

    It's sad to see the creativity and production stop, but I have a lot of respect for anyone who goes out on their own terms and just lets the work stand for itself.

    New Chicago Pipe Club! 1st meeting this Saturday - Beginner to Expert: All welcome :)

    For a decade, I lived off the Irving Park stop of the the UPNW metra line. It was a few bucks for a half hour's ride and a ten minute walk to get to either Iwan Ries or Arlington Pipe and Cigar,where the Chicagoland Pipe Collectors Club meets most often these days. Ninety-nine times out of a...

    Microplastic.

    I'm glad to hear that you guys are healthy, but your individual stories are not population studies of the long-term effects of a substance in a dynamic environment. That said, I am just as annoyed at lazy journalism that tries to weave this into every possible story to get worry clicks as you...

    Pipestud is Begging For Help Again!

    From the way the rustication carries onto the stem, I would guess Monstrosity Pipes, but that guy's name is Ollie Sylvester. I see "Jusi Paul 2016" in the signature. Maybe were reading it upside down? It's shape number 9105 and illegible cursive, not illegible cursive and year 2016?

    Women Enjoy Pipes, Too

    My wife smokes a pipe. She's on the board of the United Pipe Clubs of America. And as I type this, she's en route to the Netherlands to participate in the world championship of pipe smoking where she placed third of about 20 female competitors last year. Despite my smoking three time longer...

    Wessex Curly Block Slicing.

    https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/threads/small-ulu-demilune-for-cutting-ropes-and-plugs.102740/ I also use an ulu knife for ropes and plugs. It does the trick nicely.

    Question About Temple Bar

    Same reason as the ropes, really. Along the way, some flavor-marrying/anaerobic fermenting side benefits were discovered and became prized, but the form is for shipping. In colonial and early republic times, America only grew raw leaf - all manufacturing into finished product was done back in...

    The "Wanted" or "Where to Buy" Pipe Thread

    I have two of the four seasons of the Tsuge Shiki series. Made -I think- in the mid 2000's then old stock was bought up and sold by SP about 4-5 years ago. I would love to get the other two.
