    Pipe Smoking for Compassion

    One can consider taking out one's pipe and loading and lighting it and smoking it to be an extended form of "counting to ten" for the benefit of the life expectancy of the offending person.

    "Earthy" Flavor?

    Before life arose on this planet of ours, there was no dirt, or mud. There was only boulders, rocks, and sand. Think of dirt as the "compost of ancestors" of every living species in that area. Also, there is a subculture of weirdos who go in for using dirt as either a seasoning or main...

    Cheap Unlimited Internet Service Anywhere?

    There's one podcaster in Nebraska who did all of his early shows live from inside his car while parked at a restaurant and using their wifi. He and his co-host later moved on to doing their podcast simultaneously live on their local LP radio station and online.

    Mortise Muck

    Not personally being a Felix Unger among pipe smokers, I suspect that when the mortise gap gets pretty full, some of it is then passed up the pipe stem airway in order to deposit some of the muck inside my mouth, thus notifying me that this pipe is due for a major cleaning! Also, I went online...

    Robo Calls

    The ones who lead off their sales pitch with "Have you found Jay-sus?" get this response: "Yes, but he made me promise never to tell you-lot where he is."

    Robo Calls

    I remember a news article a while back where one of the people interviewed reported they had a call once where the robocaller spoofed THEIR phone number. I think it's pretty hard to phone yourself without two phones and two numbers at hand.

    Yet Another Scam

    About a month ago I got a robocall claiming I had won a prize from Publishers Clearing House. Last week, I got a call from a real person claiming the same thing, but they had spoofed a phone number from my town.

    How Long Have You Been Smoking a Pipe? And Who Cares?

    Took up the pipe in 1973 while at GM/A school on Governor's Island in New York Harbor.

    Strange Behaviors and Possible Explanations

    It's been some years since toll booths were bathed all day in a cloud of noxious lead-bearing exhausts for the collectors to inhale.

    ?Burnt My Tongue with Zippo

    ¿ ¿ Maybe your present body chemistry sees the Zippo fuel residues as some sort of tongue anesthetic ? ?

    Antique Meerschaum Depicting an Explorer Type: Who Might this Depict?

    Gotta agree with you there. That's not exactly an appealing rendition of the ol' sailor man.

    Antique Meerschaum Depicting an Explorer Type: Who Might this Depict?

    Don't know particularly why, but reading through this thread and the talk about the different types of people who are pictured in the form of meerschaum pipes, I suddenly found myself wondering if anybody has ever heard of, or seen a picture of, a meerschaum pipe carved to represent Popeye the...

    Activated Charcoal and Table Salt in Pipe Mud?

    Reading this thread, I feel as if home-applied bowl coatings and pipe-mud for filling voids are being conflated somehow.

    Greetings from Maine

    Welcome from Greene, Maine (next town upriver from Lewiston). I can't recommend any Maine tobacconists to you because the last one I knew of closed several years ago in Lewiston.

    Driving A Car With Your Shirt Off

    I would need to wear a sign warning nearby folks "Do Not Stare Into the Glare of the Fishbelly White!" (by the way, supposedly a T-shirt only give a SPF-6 protection level.)

    Lost Pipe. Bleh.

    Should I happen to come across it while walking around here in Maine, be warned I'm not sending it back.

    Sad Events In Miami.

    I've heard that about Chicago being built on a swamp. I understand that a few years ago, a town in South Carolina outlawed anybody putting up any solar-power at all, because it would turn the rest of the town dark all the time.

    Spirit Animal

    Had a shipmate who talked about serving on an Icebreaker, who went out on the ice shelf with others when the ship paused for a few hours. They came across some Emperor Penguins, and gathered around one to look it over. I guess one of the crew tried to grab it, resulting in the penguin whomping...

    Spirit Animal

    I heard something on the radio a short while ago that genetic testing shows that our house cats closest relative among the world's big cats are the Tigers!

    Spirit Animal

    If I have such a thing, it's probably a cave bear.
