    I Would Like To Apologize To Chinese Members.

    I have noticed I have been going crazy with my rant about mainland China. I do apologize. I have nothing against Chinese people of all ethnic origin. But I do have several issues with CCP and its government. I meant no disrespect to our members of all heritage background. I will use CCP from now...

    Beginner's Pipes.

    Get whatever you want that fits your budget. There is no such a thing as a "beginner's pipe". That includes briar, cob, meer, and any other material being used. Get the one that makes you happy and won't break the bank. Better yet, one your wife/husband/gf/bf won't kick you out to the couch/dog...

    The Sauce.

    Korean people eat Japanese curry with the sauce. The sauce is made of a half soy sauce and a half vinegar. I prefer Japanese rice vinegar. We keep stuff that makes stain and general messiness under the sink. My younger son is back from Japan after 7 weeks of intensive cram course in intermediate...

    Now For Something Completely Different In China..

    MMA fighters are proving Kung Fu is a crap. MMA fighters are knocking out Kung Fu "Legends" left and right. Smarter Kung Fu masters have been stopping the fight with some excuses after being pushed around. Others are just getting their ass kicked.

    Subway - Sandwich Chain

    Ah, yes. Subways. The sub sandwich which gives crap load of veggies and set amount of meat. You get a foot long, that's two meals for a price for one sandwich. Growing up in NYC, chain store sandwich was something I didn't know about, unless we are counting hamburger as a sandwich. If you want...

    Labels.

    I don't use them. I know it's popular among many smokers But, I only keep ten blends or so open at any time. I believe I'm still functioning enough to remember them. While reading thread about Sun Bear, I knew I had two Lak blends opened, but just couldn't remember them. Just like to let you...

    The Last Song.

    When one is getting fire or laid off, it's a sad time. When one is quitting, it can be a happier time. Either way, music can help us with our sensitive times. What did you play while getting the hell out of that shit hole called job? Mine was "Take This Job And Shove It!" by David Allan Coe...

    Indiana Jones And The Dial...

    It was good. The same old Indiana Jones movie. A good deal of action and humor. Then realized that I watched first movie at the theater around 40 years ago. Age shows. Long as hell, but didn't feel that long. Very entertaining for me, at least.

    Things That Suck.

    No, not the vacuum cleaner. Running out of a six pack and no more chilled beer. Bad planning on my part.

    I Have Gone Off The Deep End.

    Did I mention I'll be 56 this year? Bones are brittle and broke couple last few years. Muscles are wasting way. So, I just purchased resistance bands and a bar to work out. And a skateboard and protections. Gotta do something about it before things start to fall off. Off to practice break falls...

    Older Son And His Camping Trips.

    When growing up, I made a point to have him spend time in scouts. Unlike some parents, I didn't have much trust. So, I became a leader. He nor his little brother made to the Eagle. But, older son still enjoys camping. Funny thing is, he has four good friends from high school, and they go in a...

    Alcohol, Oh Lovely Alcohol!

    Yes, it ruins life, a family, and all. It's ugly. It brings worst in a person. But how beautiful it is. Tobacco brings a moment of relaxation. Caffeine wakes you up. But the alcohol gives that expensive feeling like nothing else can. It's a vice. it's an evil. But on an occasion, it's truly...

    Titanic Tour Sub Missing. Remarks/Questions.

    Ok. Titanic was cursed from the start. Three people were in the sub. It was an hour tour. The sub didn't return on time. It's considered missing at this point. Few questions and remarks. 1. In case of an issue, the sub was supposed to surface automatically. 2. Three people in a tight spaces...

    More Colon Cancer Among Younger People.

    Well, I have few questions/remarks. 1. It's refreshing to see this is not blamed on tobacco/vape use. 2. Don't they know this generation of kids eat ass? 3. What were doctors doing looking at younger people's ass?

    My car's been in the shop for two months. Rear view camera can't be ordered due to lack of availability. Been bugging them and finally decided on aftermarket parts. Got a call couple of days ago saying it's ready. Been getting call every day it's ready. Been busy with the family business. So...

    Which Countries In Africa And Middle East Will Have EV Charging Station First?

    My understanding is military will turn to EV very soon. Just wondering which countries are stupid enough to provide US with EV charging stations. I'm sure we ain't going "over there" again, so which developing countries will be crazy enough to accommodate US military with EV stations will open...

    Tobacco: Last Affordable Luxury.

    It says it. There are handful of vices that men can enjoy. But the tobacco has to be the least expensive if we keep it to pipe. Cigs are US$7+ a pack, even here. Cigars are rather further up north. Spirits are about as expensive as cigs and up where gods reside. Coffee, now the coffee is funny...
