    The Difference Bertween Cats and Dogs

    DOG --- "Those two-legged creatures provide me with food to eat, a safe place to live, pet me, and play with me... They must be gods!" CAT --- "Those two-legged creatures provide me with food to eat, a safe place to live, pet me, and play with me... I must be a god!"

    Starting to Wonder, I Am

    First, it was last year's Pipes By Lee locust swarm, and now it's casing this, flavoring that, premium vs extra cost vs best available, subjectivity, objectivity... with an endless, relentless, categorical pushback-for-the-sake-of-it feel that doesn't stop until unplugged from the wall socket...

    I'm Having Four Ears of Fresh Corn, and...

    ...a cereal bowl filled with washed, raw heirloom cherry tomatoes for dinner. That's it. (Well, with a sprinkling of salt and pepper, of course) Does that make me weird?

    Thought Food

    The old adage "Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see" means people lie and exaggerate, so don't believe what you hear as a categorical thing; and you only know one part of a story when you see something happen, so don't jump to conclusions. Be cautious even then. Soon...

    Question for Big Number Math Guys

    OK... The chance of a tossed quarter landing on its edge (on a dead flat, clean, etc. surface) is one in 6000. Here's my question: How many tosses would it take for a TRILLION coins tossed simultaneously to ALL land on their edge... ...and for THAT to happen a trillion times in a row. Imma...

    Absolute Insanity (of the best possible kind)

    Take one part uber-cool ultra-Danish super classic (the "Walrus" shape) One part S&PIOBID (seamless & perfect inclusion of bamboo in the design) One part overall size (1" x 2.7" chamber, 9" overall length... a true giant) and SEVERAL parts execution difficulty... (that's where the insanity...

    From Man's First Moonwalk to Today...

    ...has been exactly 54 years. The same length of time it took to go from a wood-and-fabric motorized kite to the B-58 Hustler. (And five years after that, we were in space). How far has the USA's space capability advanced in that 54 years? Well... NASA is a bloated, inefficient mess, and...

    Insane Natural Talent

    After getting noticed for homemade videos like this one, a record company signed her and put out an over-produced mess that sank without a trace. Then she deleted her videos, got married, had a kid, and apparently (all this happened over a decade ago) doesn't play anymore. Crazy

    Some of the Best Tornado Footage Ever Captured...

    ...just came out of Alberta, Canada. Just down the road from board member Sasquatch, in fact. (no worries, he's OK) Hang on to your seat:

    Happy Birthday to the Eternally Lovely Debbie Harry

    She turns 78 today. This video is NOT Blondie playing one of their hit songs, but when she volunteered to talk to a bunch of kids. It's quite revealing. She doesn't do the narcissistic Pop Star Thing at all:

    One of Scottie Piersel's First Pipes

    Before coming up with the design she's famous for now---the ruggedized super-slender pencil shank---Scottie made the same type of briar pipes as everyone else. This is one of her first-ever pipes (probably around #15 or 20), and definitely her first attempt at an author. I remember it well...

    If You've Never Heard of "The Corrs", Listen to This

    If you have heard of them, indulge yourself with a blip of the wayback machine (this was recorded in 1999) 100% live. It's a full-on concert-style studio session where everyone plays simultaneously. No track mashup, post production bullshit came anywhere near it. Great songs, unreal...

    After 49 Years of The PipeLife, These Three Win

    I realized last night that I have 120-something pipes, but reach for the same three over and over again. That the same three account for between a quarter and a third of ALL my smokes. Why? Because they're mucher morer comfy-er, and taste muchly more gooder. puffy They also are less...

    Pipe Spotted in the Wild... on TV!!!

    I thought my computer screen might explode or ThoughtPolice helicopters would appear outside my window, but apparently this outrageous example of personal choice was somehow given the OK by the Discovery Channel people. I'm sure there will be some sort of hardcore riot-demonstration display of...

    Is This "Buyable" Today?

    I found a tin of Yee Oldie Signey in a storage box, tried it, and like it a lot. :) I have ZERO idea how long it was in the closet, or where, when, or how I came by it, though. I know that Dunhill tobacco has changed makers several times over the years, and the recipes have changed within...

    Oh My... Lookie What I Found :)

    A limited-run tin of something Mike & Mary called "Westport" that they made to commemorate the KC Pipe Club's 2012 show. Sittin' in a box, it was... All hiding in the dark waiting to be discovered... 100% Virginias, it looks like. The succulent leaves that McClelland is most famous for...
