***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***
- Excellent work, @gord. I read your post out to Mrs. Badger just now, and she was mightily impressed. She cautions, however, on the wisdom of ingesting too much raw tobacco leaf (however much that might be) by consulting with a nutritionist/herbalist...unless you already did?- MisterBadger

A Little Humor for the Day 2024
The Christmas Dalek At The Manger: A Conversation (This is very loosely based on a real-life event) I called in at Saint Joseph’s to collect donations for the food bank, and there found Father Micheal O’Donnell, standing before the Christmas crib, shaking his head. - Will you look at that...- MisterBadger

How Cold Is Too Cold?
As a Brit, at about -10 (F) it gets a bit uncomfortable for me, and that's assuming one can get out of the way of the wind.- MisterBadger

Picking on Brits a Bit
Well, now... no fewer than 87 of the 1,000 most commonly-used words in Welsh, identified from an etymological analysis of 1 million words, are borrowed from Latin - as opposed to only 40 that are originally English. That means anyone buying their groceries in Welsh is more than twice as likely...- MisterBadger

Picking on Brits a Bit
Don't you just *hate* it when you realise you made a mistake in a post and can't edit it any more? Obviously I meant to write "Eis i mewn i tafarn yn Lloegr, ac yn sydyn dechreuodd pawb siarad yn *Saesneg*." Sorry 'bout that...- MisterBadger

Picking on Brits a Bit
It's a fact that talking Foreign makes folk suspicious. A common complaint by English people visiting Wales is that once they enter a Welsh pub, everyone starts speaking in Welsh. To which, I've heard Welsh speakers say: "Eis i mewn i tafarn yn Lloegr, ac yn sydyn dechreuodd pawb siarad yn...- MisterBadger

***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***
Pre-Christmas Christmas party for staff and volunteers at Acton Scott Heritage Farm this afternoon. Sat outside the barn (I'm the only one who smokes) listening to them singing carols inside while I ponder the Mystery of the Incarnation outside. A bowl of HH Old Dark Fired in the Futura with a...- MisterBadger

Quote From Some Guy Named Ford.
If that's the premier of Ontario you're talking about, I can assure you he's not popular with my cousins over there. This is about tarrifs, I assume.- MisterBadger

What Will Be The Most Sought-After Sutliff Blends 5 Years From Now?
It ain't just you :) What you neve had, you'll never miss. But there's a couple or three MacBaren brands I really like. But if they go, I'll ignore the subesquent black market on principle and look forward to discovering something else I find I like just as much. After all, one;'s tastes do...- MisterBadger

A Look at STG Internal Documents Regarding the Mac Baren / Sutliff Buyout
Well, if their sales of our favourite and potentiallly endangered blends start to rise significantly, that's going to send them an important message, no?- MisterBadger

***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***
Evening smoke of HH ODF in the Stanwell semi-blasted half bent... full if rather sombre, but cheerful compared to the undertaker's mute that is Charatan Black Flake. Getting to like its ways - like being solemnly being handed a chocolate by King Ozymandias, or Otto Von Bismarck telling you a...- MisterBadger

What Are You Listening To? - December, 2024
Well, BBC Radio4 is playing 'Rare Earth' and on the table, Mrs. Badger's mobile is playing a YouTube video on historical costuming. Neither was my choice. She is not even in the room, but in the kitchen and can hear neither. This is absurd. I'm going to play this instead...- MisterBadger

Estate Old England (Sasieni) Straight Pot - Smokes Off
Well, until it's dry, basically. Personally, I leave mine with a paper towel stuffed in the bowl and a new pipe cleaner up the shank. for 24 hours. Or until I remember to reassemble them. Whichever happens last. If you need that pipe in a hurry, best not use the hot water method.- MisterBadger
