    Somebody Needs To Get Fired.

    I concur. My evidence of course being that only a total ding dong scopes an AK.

    Contact Information for Mimmo Provenzano?

    No. I don’t know any though I’d assume they exist on here. I was trying to size up if the cost of a repair is high enough that I’d opt to replace it /have a clone made instead. I don’t know the hourly rate a pipe repair person earns…it could be expensive, being niche. I may send an email...

    Contact Information for Mimmo Provenzano?

    Thought about it but didn’t want to assume they speak English good to know that this is repairable…though a sleeve would choke down the inside diameter some possibly affecting performance Any idea how much $ a repair such as this should cost?

    Halloween

    A minor quibble, but no modern religions are appropriating it. Capitalism has appropriated it.

    Why are Grocery Store Tomatoes so Inferior?

    They both taste very good. Texture is good too. Not great but very good. They are either Orange Hat or Hartman’s Yellow Gooseberry I forget. And the red &purple ones are Cosmic Purple Rain.

    Contact Information for Mimmo Provenzano?

    Title condensed, etc. See Rule 9. Original: "Does anyone have contact info for and experience with working directly with MIMMO PROVENZANO?" This happened the other day. Sadly it was a newish pipe, only had a few smokes out of it. I ordered it from the Al-pascia site. I palm-clapped out some...

    Why are Grocery Store Tomatoes so Inferior?

    Along with the aforementioned reasons Some species are too low-yield to bother with commercially like this

    When I Was In NYC.

    The pills are a cop out for half assed parents that won’t do their job. All this ADHD and other sensitivities kids have these days is crap and a real parent would’ve disciplined any of these bs inclinations out at a young age. But parents would rather trust their big pharma shill doctors...

    Retrohaling

    Disagree. Directly inhaling smoke is hotter and more concentrated than ambient wafts. As a former cig smoker I agree it’s more satisfying but I don’t think we should be advocating that if you retrohale you may as well inhale and that they’re about the same risk wise.

    Anyone Gonna Be Watching The Olympics?

    No. NBC can bite me, plus it’s summer….I can’t be sitting inside watching sports, I’ll be out playing sports.

    RIP Richard Simmons

    Technically, you’re right Don’t let me dissuade you in your pursuit of mediocrity.

    RIP Richard Simmons

    No, I get that. But anyone with a brain can see that jazzercising with a 2 lb. dumbell in each hand ain’t doing a damn thing other than making people feel good about themselves for doing next-to-nothing, instead of nothing. But don’t let me keep you from your jazzercise.

    RIP Richard Simmons

    Let’s be honest his workouts were for soft people who were never fit. He was flabby.

    Pipe Smoking and Cancer

    While I don’t want cancer, I want to be totally spent and used up from a life fully lived at the time of death, making my entry just as the last wheel falls off, with a cloud of dust behind me. It might not be pretty, but I’m fine with it.

    Show Us Your Knife (And Pipe)

    The Swiss with the alox finish are my favorite. I saw a gold alox version of this that I may buy if it comes back in stock

    July 4th Darwin Award!

    This definitely began with “Hey, hold my beer!” Sad for the kids though.

    Show Us Your Knife (And Pipe)

    Honestly it’s a bit too small to flip out easily and I don’t have big hands. Having gotten over that and thinking of it more as a pen knife, I’ve made my peace with it and have come to like it for what it is.
