    Did you know?

    I shan't debate the merits of having one's cosmology education supplied by Fox News. :-) ... because there is a TON of stuff we just don't know. And until someone effectively explains a lot of the facts that might add up to the Black Hole = gateway to parallel universe theory, that theory has...

    Interest Groups Here on PM

    I think you could easily put together a CBW or Lane 1-Q group. Maybe a LoTR-inspired blend group. But I agree: what exactly is the point? Seems that no one is afraid to post their ideas/thoughts/questions to the forums, including subjects which fall into these groups. Side note: Kevin, you...

    Did you know?

    Did you know... That since time slows down when you travel faster, and the ultimate speed limit is the speed of light at which time essentially stops, and photons travel at the speed of light, the light from the sun takes 8 minutes to get to Earth by our clocks, but from the point of view of the...

    I love my MacBaren cream vanilla...

    Mmmm... What? No. No! NOOOOO!!! TAD, where did you come from?!?! I thought I'd given you the slip. TAD: Bwahahahahaa! Simon

    Chicago Pipe Club Pizza Party

    Let's see... I tell the wife that I've suddenly been called on a business trip... take the plane to Seattle, then on to Chicago... yeah, I can make it. :-) Simon

    Guide to E-Bay Descriptions...

    That's a "speed hole". Makes the pipe 42% faster than regular, off-the-shelf pipes. The pinstriping and sponsorship decals aren't visible in this photo, but this is a heavily customized, one of a kind pipe that is far too high-performance for most smokers. Simon

    Name that pipe smoker!

    Aaah... his name is escaping me. :-). That's an awesome one. Simon

    October 2010 - What are you smoking?

    @wallbright: That's a neat online cellar database you've found there. Perhaps designed for those with a substantial stash (Bob, I'm looking in your direction), but a cool idea, nonetheless. Not sure what to recommend out of your list. Personally, I'd be inclined to go with the Nougat, but it's...

    Pipe Babe Valerie

    That's a nice 1/8 bent saddle-bit apple with a smooth finish... What? Why are y'all staring at me? ;) Simon

    AT LAST!!!

    How big is that pipe? It looks churchwarden-sized, but massive. Don't sprain a wrist smoking it! Simon

    Thanksgiving From Canada Oct.11, 2010

    Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians! Had a very satisfying smoke tonight after our big dinner. All is good. Hope it's going as well for everyone else. @onizuka: No, we're not afraid of the dark. But we are all afraid of spiders. Simon

    Tampa Bay Rays are Mad for Plaid and so is Adult Star Zafira

    You did a great job with the screen caps considering your eyes were closed, Kevin. Are you sure you didn't peek just a little? "Honestly, honey, I was only at that site looking for directions away from that site." (With apologies to the Simpsons) Simon

    October 2010 - What are you smoking?

    A little Lane 1-Q in my Stanwell HCA churchwarden. Man, I'm being blessed with a whole string of amazing, calm, clear and relatively warm evenings, where I just have to put a hat and sweater on and I can blow smoke up at the stars from my back yard. @ohin3: The Secret of NIMH is an awesome...

    On the mend.

    That's great news, Phil. Glad to hear you're healing. Simon

    Pipe Lounge

    So I've got this book now. The bad news is that at the moment, having a pipe lounge/home office is just a (pipe) dream, but good news is that my wife bought me the book, and she is receptive to the idea at some point. Anyone else out there the home handyman type who has constructed their own...

    Nicotine Lightweight or Not?

    Lucky you! I loved the tin note, room note, taste, everything. But I'm not in this sport for the nic ups. I kept a few flakes for myself after putting the rest in the box. I'll try them again in a couple years. Simon
