    Ok You Smoke A Pipe

    I had a Swan match break while striking it in October of 1994, so had to grab a second one. Otherwise nothing comes to mind.

    Well Im Fat Pt 3 - The New Diet

    And don't forget those hinge-y things. Joints, think they're called. Years of high body weight plus tons of lifted weight equals this: (He ^^^^ won the Super Bowl of bodybuilding---the Mr Olympia competition---eight times. Today he's in a wheelchair.)

    Any Love For Non-Bulldog Diamond Shanked Pipes ?

    Public Service Announcement --- For physical reasons I won't bore you with, know that diamond/square shanks are MUCH more likely to crack than round ones. (thin/flattened ovals also, for the same reason, but they aren't as common) Net takeaway? Stick to those with either a band, or are large...

    No Wonder the Aliens are Content to Watch Instead of Invade

    National boundaries are invisible from space. Earth is just a ball of scurrying bipeds to these guys:

    Do you keep a journal of your work on pipes?

    Absolutely. And another for finishes. And another for stem types. And another for overall pipe length. And another for pipe weight. And another for country of manufacture. And then comes the set of combination journals which keep track of those things as groups. All of which are then...

    No Wonder the Aliens are Content to Watch Instead of Invade

    Inventors, yes. But then comes implementation, which means designers, engineers, builders, and maintainers. Many of which are highly technical jobs that require education, training, and certification(s) that require years of experience. A good chunk of the population is involved in Making the...

    No Wonder the Aliens are Content to Watch Instead of Invade

    It's simply too entertaining to do anything BUT watch... As of 2025 --- Humans have landed on the Moon, walked & driven around its surface and returned. Several times. (over 50 years ago!). Atomic power production is now so routine it's used for commercial purposes. Remote-controlled...

    That's the weirdest looking phone I've ever seen. Might not be legit. Have you contacted the Samsung people?

    NYT Spelling Bee

    You know that AI is capable of---and does---track individual word usage of Net users, right? And lists are made and kept of anything the people who direct/target the AI find useful to them, right? (if something can be weaponized, it will be weaponized... humans will always human) And the...

    Well I'm Fat Pt2

    Hey... rules are meant to be broken, man... So why not laws? It's about time we stood up to those stinkin' so-called "laws of physics". I don't remember ever gettin' asked if I liked 'em, so who decided that shit, anyway? Hey, I know. It was school textbook publishers. Follow the money...

    Cleaning a Rusticated Rim?

    Yo, PipeWorld newcomers An FYI --- Member "briarblues" isn't one of you, he just hasn't been around here in a while (and never spent much time on forums to begin with). At last count he cleaned and sold 49,864,912 pipes. Per month. And he did it for many years, starting back when...

    Well I'm Fat Pt2

    The most famous bar fight rebuttal in history is --- "Oh Yeah? Yo' momma ain't just ugly, she's FAT!" Only on PSM do you get --- "Oh Yeah? There is a high degree of probability that the structural dynamics of fatty acid synthase are adversely affecting the external appearance of your...

    Well I'm Fat Pt2

    Those MDs who work for a practice that is owned by an equity investment company are basically given no choice. "Hit your numbers or there's the door." There is something of a "time machine" movement of MDs who want to do business the old fashioned way, and who understand and agree going in...
