It reminded me at the end of The Wizard of Oz when Dorothy wakes up a recognizes everybody there as part of her dream. DOROTHY No. But it wasn't a dream -- it was a place. And you -- and you -- and you -- and you were there. Like I said, i did like it. I just had higher...- tuold

Sherlock got it right! *spoiler*
I didn't enjoy the episode much. The plot exceeded my ability to suspend disbelief when it tried to tie the suffrage movement with modern day radical extremism. It was a very week resolution. Also, when a show becomes self referential in its writing or a sort of parody of itself, that's a sure...- tuold

Some Holiday Estates
Nate, when I look at that "estate" all I see is giant lawn to mow and property taxes I can't afford =) MSO, it's just one guy who leases a corner of the antique store who brings in all those pipes. I'd like to meet up with him one of these days and ask him where he finds them all. I only bought... -
Some Holiday Estates
fnord, that is the guy. Here's a TV show he hosted in the 50's (Warning, it's awful!) It Pays To Be Ignorant The one thing that remains to be solved is exactly who made Tom Howard pipes. According to this Popular Mechanics article he was a hobbyist carver. I like to think he personally carved... -

Magnificiently Strange Patents (Picture Heavy)
I have one of those Douglas pipes and it works quite nicely. See if you can find a patent for this. (I couldn't) It's called a "Perk -O- Pipe. No trade name or patent number. It has the cooling chamber behind the bowl with condensing chamber clean out screw on the bottom. -

My New Kaywoodie 01 White Briar
Well, here's an ad from a 1952 Life Magazine with similar looking pipes. I've got the vest pocket white briar, second row, second from left. I never did get the mataching white tux and red tie though. -
Anti-smoking propaganda
There's been a PSA playing here in Portland showing a group of small children pawing through a basket of flavored tobacco products ooing and awing over the colors and flavors. A grim voice-over proclaims that tobacco companies are intentionally marketing these products to children. Currently...- tuold
