    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.

    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.

    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.

    The one with the jade looking grips is civivi. So is the grey one beside it. I used to have a bigger version of the jade one , it was a straight up shank. I gifted it to a friend and never could find an exact replacement. But the jade handle one is what i pick just for like going out to a...

    I’ll save myself a few future posts since I’ve pulled out all my fixed blades for maintenance. Here is what I choose from on a daily basis. This makes me realize I don’t know what ever happened to my cheap toad stickers I had as a kid, my Swiss Army knives as a teen and 3 pretty good knives I...

    What's Your 4th of July, 2024 Food Lineup?

    It is an amalgamation of the parts I like best from 4 or 5 internet recipes. They seem popular in England but I don’t really know. A lot of the recipes were from British sites. I had it for lunch at a restaurant called Zoup and this is my knockoff version. I see you are in L.A. What a...

    Your Summer Song

    I don’t have one as my theme or soundtrack, maybe I should pick a song to listen to each morning while I brush my teeth. Something like this Summer in the City

    What's Your 4th of July, 2024 Food Lineup?

    I’m not really eating heavy meals when it’s this hot and humid; that stuff bogs me down. Fortunately there’s nothing on my social calendar so I won’t be confronted with all the usual stuff. I’ll be making a chilled cucumber soup. I’ve got a watermelon. I’m grateful to be off work mainly.

    Supporting Local Shops

    I hate shopping so I’m pretty happy with the ease of SP and TP. I like my local cigar place enough to go there once in a while and hang and smoke and be removed from all my own bs. However the owner has been killing the vibe by just having the news on all day. I don’t want to hear that...

    Thanks I appreciate that you concur with my inclination to order it with the responsibility being on me, which I’m fine with, knowing that my state recently made autos permissible.
