    Reasons To Dislike Apple/Macintosh Computers

    I'm in IT, though a paper pusher now, still in the business. The company I work for has always been a Mac shop as far as what the employees use. I resisted for the first 3 years that I worked for the company. I switched sometime last year. I have zero complaints. Pricey? Yes, but functional and...

    What Pipes To Take To A Pipe Show

    They usually do a meetup in the smoking tent. I imagine it will occur again. Otherwise, just set a time for everyone to gather. Kinda like when you got lost in the supermarket as a kid.

    Calvin & Hobbes Makes Me Laugh.

    Love it. I have 2 or 3 C&H books. I pull them out once in awhile. Good way to escape reality for a bit.

    Ozone Treatments And Vulcanite

    I have stems that start to oxidize if you look at them funny. I can't imagine that exposing them to an additional oxygen atom as Draco explained above would do any good for them.

    Stop Eating Bagels.....They Cause Lung Cancer.

    I recently read that smoking now greatly reduces your risk of lung cancer. Well, not actually, but give it 10 more years and I'm sure that will be the next trend. :crazy:

    Hot Damn, I'm In Love With Strang!

    I debated it for about 3 minutes. I kept looking over my shoulder to see if the guys from "Funniest Videos" were gonna jump out.

    Hot Damn, I'm In Love With Strang!

    Is this a joke? Is someone around the corner watching? A Strang group buy was discussed. It turned into a meltdown. Mr. Motzek is retiring and rumor has it that there may be one more run of the stuff before he hangs his hat. I would not worry about a group buy and just try and get your hands...

    My Lounge Chair Was Like My Best Friend

    Next time your wife says that your chair, clothes or shoes are old and worn out and it's time for a replacement... ask if the same goes for her?? You may be able to tell, I'm not married. I suspect you would be sleeping on the couch. :roll:

    Culling Pipes, Or Not

    I have 2 drawers full of pipes that I don't smoke. There are even a few on the racks that don't see any action. Problem for me is that almost every one of these have some sort of meaning to me. I have found it hard to consider parting with them. It's not sensible, but for most of us the...

    Where Is Peck ?

    He has been busy with work and life. He's still kicking though, trust me.

    Do We Have The Power?

    Stop trying to make sense, Andy. I already attempted it and was ignored. Interesting to watch though, and hope you guys can pull it off.

    Just One Thing To Clear Up About The Chicago Pipe Show

    I'll be there too... I look just like my avatar. 8O

    Do We Have The Power?

    Interesting idea, but SP.com already offers pretty decent quantity discounts on most items. Take Escudo for example... if you purchase 25+ tins, they offer you a 10% discount on the per tin price. Just my opinion, but I think you would be hard pressed to get them to go lower than that. I...

    Indoor Rower Recommendation

    Rowing is one of the best total body workouts you can do. My little gym in my complex needs a rowing machine. 2 friggin bikes and no one uses them.

    Abundance of Pipe Tobacco

    I'll be sure to light a prayer candle for him today.

    P&C 15% Off and Free Goodie Box IPSD Sale

    :rofl: Now don't hold this against me if I'm wrong, but Paladin is not as repulsive as Middleton's Cherry, if I recall correctly. Then again, that might not be saying much. Do let us know.

    Bulk Burley Flake?

    Watch City Cigars has their Watch City Slices. Been awhile since I had it, but it was a decent Burley Flake and offered in bulk.
