    Worst eBay Pipe Sale Description Ever

    Title: Lacking format. Rule 9. I had to share this with you all. Someone has clearly taken the recent option eBay offers to provide an AI listing description: "This vintage Reject London made half bent billiard estate smoking pipe is a must-have for any collector or smoking enthusiast. Crafted...

    ***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***

    It's unusual to see a moose smoking a pipe. I assume whales never do, for lack of opportunity.

    ***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***

    A poetic gem, indeed. I love this line: "No less than 250 trees and 37 tombstones were blown down at Balgay." That has to be the worst bit of scansion I have ever encountered in my entire life of reading and composing verse. Even for McGonagall, that's really ingenious. Take comfort then...

    Thoughts On STG

    @condorlover1 - don't forget Victory Tobacco, on rationed sale this side of Oceania, on Airstrip One. Exactly the same stuff as in the former USA, but franchised by IngSoc, and with a Union Jack on the tin instead. It'll be a shag, cut too fine for a pipe and too coarse for a hand-rolled...

    Thoughts On STG

    I'm a Peterson's fan. For now, anyway. Sorry.

    An Ode to Samuel Gawith's '1792'—Apologies to Dr. Suess

    @Pooh-Bah - 2 out of 5, say, or a single thumb held out sideways, and waggled non-commitedly up and down a bit. However, if War Horse is your favourite blend, then 1792 might work for you - especially if you sprayed it with Ouzo and then microwaved it. Oh, and add some Valerian root.

    Ah. I'd missed that whole pageful of posts. My sympathies. Cheer yourself up with some awful McGonagall poetry. Or an Ivor Cutler monologue. It's been pissing down here too, by the way.

    An Ode to Samuel Gawith's '1792'—Apologies to Dr. Suess

    An Ode To Mr. Samuel Gawith's 1972 Flake (Part the Third) (Sam-I-Am persists) You might like it, when you've tried To smoke it, twenty-one days dried... So, Mr. B., have one more go - You'll like it in the end, I know. Oh, Sam-I-Am! Just one more try I'll have, since it is almost dry - But it...

    The persistent Sam-I-Am's notorious 1792 Flake, rubbed out and ready to go in the sacrificial no-name Chinese basket billiard (The Ghost Pipe), in preparation for the third and final part of my ode to this contentious, perfumed nicotine-bomb... with black coffee.

    ***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***

    Yeah, I know... yesterday evening, blast after blast of tractor horns sounded down the road outside, and a procession of assorted motorised farming vehicles, all decked out with lights, from all the neighbouring farms for miles around, drove past on their way into town to inaugurate the...

    What are You Drinking? November 2024

    Peanut butter whiskey?! Never seen the like. Further research tells me it originated as a cocktail, but with Bourbon or rye ?

    I Was Stopped at a Local Supermarket!

    I sometimes have nightmares of a dystopian future in which the world will have reverted to a sort of feudal system based on the rule of a few supermarket chains gone global. Loyalty cards will be mutually exclusive. You and your family will belong either to one megagrocery store dynasty, or...
