    I'd eat this burger

    I agree except that I would argue it may still be the better choice. While crappy iceberg lettuce could almost be considered empty calories, calorie content of most fast food options (burger, fries and soda) would be about as empty as it gets. Here's my definition of fast food: Blend and...

    I'd eat this burger

    I'm with schmitzbitz on this one. Laughing all the way to the hospital, I guess. There was a period of time where I didn't care about what I ate. I'm glad those days are over.

    NEED HELP!!!! Anyone who knows anything about Philosophy

    These sorts of questions really have to have terms defined before they can proceed. Like what do we mean by creation? Simply YEC or the idea that the universe was created by an intelligent being, or...? And what do we mean by science? The scientific method? But where does that stop and...

    Ask G. L. Pease February 2012 (Volume 10)

    Another great q&a! I think this column is a great highlight to this site.

    Bleaching a Stem?

    I've used bleach for 60-90 minutes and then let finish in Everclear for a day or so. Yes very rough finish after its done but if you've got a buffing wheel setup, it's easy to polish right back up. If you go this route definitely follow Cajunguy's note on the Vaseline.

    Tobacco flavored gripes

    Re: #3; I think the flavors you see being described are typically very subtle and Spartan also speaks well to how subjective it is. As you relax with your smoke more and more you will begin to pick out flavors and aromas that are hard to describe but may be familiar. Some may be much more...

    Leaf & Ale Knoxville TN

    Having lived in VA for 11 years before my wife and I packed up and moved to TN, I can say I enjoyed Virginia immensely and hated TN at first, but it grew on me. Basing 'sucks' on things like 'income' where Northern VA (and the greater metro DC area) is going to inflate the median primarily due...

    Leaf & Ale Knoxville TN

    Interesting... I quite like TN. Granted it took some time to grow on me. I'd just love to know how all of TN sucks. :roll: I've not tried to buy pipes from the Gatlinburlier but when in Gatlinburg we make a point to stop by there. I definitely wouldn't make the trip up the mountain just for...

    International Pipe Smoking Day

    Started the day off with some Westminster and plan to smoke as the schedule allows. Being off work today is very helpful :)

    OH My GOD! THE SMELL!!!! Please Help

    My wife loves the smell of just about all my tobacco's but she doesn't like the stale smoke smell that lingers after I've smoked in the car. The situation about the grandmother sounds very similar to one a friend of mine has. His wife's grandfather used to smoke some horrid cigarettes and...

    Hal O The Wynd

    Really? The perique seemed really strong when I tried this a month or so ago and it's what turned me off the blend. I was thinking I just wasn't a VAPer fan...

    R.I.P. Whitney Houston 1963-2012

    My wife and I almost couldn't believe it last night... I figured drugs as well. It's really too bad to see such incredible talent go downhill in the fashion hers did.

    Going natural. And I dont mean naked.

    Cough syrup: http://www.naturalnews.com/022372.html Boil a lemon for a few minutes to kill/clean off unwanted chemicals and bacteria on the skin, let it cool for a few minutes. Slice it up and add it to a pint of honey over low heat for about an hour. Strain the mixture into a jar and store...

    love the video! sad about the murder issue... and in Nashville? Not like we don't have enough stereotypes to worry about in my neck of the woods already.

    Met Erik Nording today.

    Sounds like a great time indeed! I understand Jeppesen learned a bit from Nording and I know he's been at UPtown's here in Nashville but that was before my pipe smoking time. Great to know they make the rounds at least and I'll be keeping an eye out for it :)

    Does Hal o the Wind bite??

    I just gave a tin of this away to a friend of mine last night. I had a handful of bowls and really didn't care for it. Not sure if I'm just not a VAPer fan but also read there's a bit of burley and I wonder if that might have been the turnoff. Nevertheless I didn't find any bite to it as I...
