    Please Help me Light my Pipe!

    Lol. I still use matches with considerable success. But it's kind of a moot point because I can't show you how to do it and you've tried without much success. Must be frustrating. I don't know what to tell you except I hope you find a way!

    A Worn Out Star Grade Lee

    Hah! We need to be congenial. Nobody else likes us! But I am being honest. I think Mr. Lee and I would get along just fine, even if I don't agree with him. What you describe us the invaluable inside view I almost never saw in my career. Win or lose, I always tried to get a chance to talk...

    A Worn Out Star Grade Lee

    Not the good ones, sir. Our job is not only to tell the story in a way that the jury understands and accepts, but to acknowledge and refute the opposing side's best arguments. If all I did as a defense attorney was to repeat that my client didn't do it and that he was, in fact, a good old...

    Got Milk? Apparently Not

    Oh, and it's a bit of an oversimplification...laws regarding its sale can vary state by state, but it cannot be sold into interstate commerce, unless the laws have changed since I was young, which is a definite maybe A whiskey bottle full of milk would be an interesting experience!

    Got Milk? Apparently Not

    The sale of unpasteurized milk is illegal in the United States. Always thought the same was true in the UK, but a quick search shows me I was wrong on that.

    Cutting European Plugs into Proper Flakes

    We shall call you "Lefty."

    Please Help me Light my Pipe!

    Yes. There isn't any shelter in the polar regions, either. Trust me, you will learn to scratch a match. Very, very few situations are impossible if you're willing to learn the contortions that are sometimes necessary.

    "Ignoring" what's it about?

    It's for when you've reached your Humansville/dairy farms/Pipes by Lee/general-cornpone-outlook limit. I haven't yet but I do see the potential charm.

    And There Was Me Thinking Only Brits Were Eccentric.

    Attention seekers. Eccentrics don't even realize they stand out. That's what I think, anyway. And I'm frequently wrong!

    Interesting Way to Save Your Hair During Chemo.

    And There Was Me Thinking Only Brits Were Eccentric.

    And There Was Me Thinking Only Brits Were Eccentric.

    Oh, trust me. There are American eccentrics, too. Ever been to Humansville?

    And There Was Me Thinking Only Brits Were Eccentric.

    Well, yes. But I'm talking about the braces-with-a-belt, wearing a fishing vest for convenience, monocle-wearing sort of feller. The guy who didn't so much do eccentric things so much as live eccentrically.

    And There Was Me Thinking Only Brits Were Eccentric.

    Thanks for the smile! The lack of true eccentricity is a loss to be mourned. There simply aren't enough charming oddballs anymore.

    Artemis Project: Why?

    I suggest the endowment of an English department at Humansville Tech.

    Artemis Project: Why?

    Yes. I've tried this sort of thing and it didn't work.
