    Car Headlights

    See it all has to do with incontinence. Say you're driving and , um, have an issue. Well you don't want all that sloshing around by your feet while you're driving. With your truck tilted to the rear, everything runs to the back-problem solved! The Carolina squat, your truck squats so you...

    Car Headlights

    That right there is special. Let's say we were playing that game where you look at a picture and blurt out the first thing that comes to mind. My word for that picture would have been landmine.

    Car Headlights

    Oh man that brings back memories. When I was driving in the Czech Republic I kept fiddling with that roller switch trying to figure out what it did. I stupidly didn't notice all the other cars flashing their lights at me! My dad, who is Czech, explained what was happening. I agree a great...

    Car Headlights

    Yeah aiming is a big issue. Also its people taking high output hid and led bulbs and putting them in regular housings blinding and glaring the piss out of everyone. It's important to match the housing type to the light source type. Most factory lights have a nice cutoff keeping light close to...

    I Might Just Have Become a Madeira Junkie

    And goes fantastic with a pipe, as you have no doubt found out already. Good stuff!

    Why did Screw Stems Fall From Favor?

    It's always about the dollar. A well adjusted screw in stem works great. I have lots of them and love them. But manufacturing them correctly takes more time than their straight counterparts. Both systems are adequate and one probably costs substantially less to manufacture.

    Variations of the Same Shape

    Is it just the photos or are the dots on the stem also varied in their placement? The fact that they vary makes them a bit more endearing in my opinion. Maybe less machine made process steps on that line.

    Mulled Ale?

    Schell's brewery does something similar at Bockfest. You can get "poked" where they stick a hot poker in your bock beer. Brings out some more caramel sweetness. Worth a try, though it isn't mulled ale.

    Show Us Your Hats!

    Hats, I've got a few. I have to wear a hat at work so I seem to accumulate them.

    Not Sure what Pipe is This

    Any other info or stamping? I would guess it's a John Middleton pipe.

    Georg Jensen Pipes - Models, Shapes, Info, and Mysteries

    I feel like I remember listening to this podcast. It should be on here somewhere. I also had the opportunity to chat with the man himself about the pipes that bear his name. He is a pleasure to talk with and truly a class act. His knowledge of pipes and tobacco is tremendous and he shares it...

    Pipe Liquid. Useful or Gimmick?

    Good old 151. I used to take a big mouthful and spray it out if my mouth past a Zippo. Made a great fireball. It's a wonder I never set myself on fire. Wonder if I have any 151 laying around, it's starting to get cold around here...

    Georg Jensen Pipes - Models, Shapes, Info, and Mysteries

    I'm a fan of these pipes as well. I've got at least 4 (at least I've found 4 so far). A Kontrast, 72 Ekstra, Alu Band, and a Jul 2000 with 3 gold dots on the stem. All great smokers. I've read somewhere that the color of the GJ stamp on the stem differentiated some of the lines as well.
