    The Acolyte on Disney+

    There’s nothing like great Sci-Fi, and based on Jesse’s review this apparently is nothing like great Sci-Fi.

    The Acolyte on Disney+

    But other than that Mrs Lincoln, how did you enjoy the show?

    👍 Nice reference, and made in the year of my birth too; unfortunately all too obscure today.

    Fury vs Usyk 🥊

    Unfortunately no, but I have convinced my wife to rewatch Gast’s When We Were Kings. Her appetite is limited but I never tire of it.

    Bingo. In the arts learning the rules before breaking them is actually a thing, and has been for centuries. Even that old fraud Picasso could have told the OP that.

    Actually I think George was not only entirely right on the facts but temperate in his comments. What you’re selectively leaving out is the OP’s attitude. Smug pretension combined with willful denial and an appetite for argument will always draw adverse remarks. In the heat of debate...

    Nice touch. I may add that as a signature line.

    My bad. Is there an emoji for feigned contrition?

    Domengo

    I’d have to search this forum for quite a while to find another such example of pretension blended with complacent bragadaccio. Luckily I have better uses for my time. You’re clearly not interested in feedback. So why did you post here at all; to solicit praise? You made a pipe. Whoopee. I...

    Increasing Number of Possible AI Bots?

    Jesus, I was blipping over the obvious. Who started this whole thread? jaingorenard! Wheels within wheels Jesse.

    Increasing Number of Possible AI Bots?

    I'm of the Joseph Heller school of forum deportment. I think new members ought to be prohibited from posting anything at all until they've accumulated at least 10 posts.

    What Tobacco did your Ancestors Smoke?

    My dad was an intermittent cigarette and pipe smoker. He might have smoked a number of pipe tobaccos but the one I remember most clearly some 50+ years later is Amphora Blue. His dad smoked a pipe too but I don't know any details since my grandfather gave it up long before I was born. Given...

    Comoy’s London Pride 430

    The London Pride didn’t exist until after the war, and once hostilities ended it took a few years for Comoy’s reconversion. I’d put this one at late 1940s. Really cool pipe!

    Briar Pipes - Ireland - Late 1860s

    I would think early briar pipes were frequently banded if only because there are indications that they were luxury items and that bling remained the order of the day for many or most pipes before the First World War. But these are only indications and absent more 19th century catalogs than have...

    Briar Pipes - Ireland - Late 1860s

    My default is skepticism when band legerdemain (or sleight-of-band as it’s colloquially known) is proffered as the solution to harmonizing inconvenient incongruities. Having said that (and saying that is admittedly a mouthful) in this particular case I find it tempting. Like a rat in a maze...

    Briar Pipes - Ireland - Late 1860s

    Despite appearances I suspect the pipe might date from 1901 for the following reasons. First there is evidence to suggest the shape of the Birmingham date letter cartouche varied over this period, and that therefore a round cartouche does not automatically mean 1876: Second, I believe the...

    Briar Pipes - Ireland - Late 1860s

    They started in London, and didn't wind up in Ireland until 1874.

    Types and Brands of Pipe Tobacco, 1920's to 1940's

    Very cool, I had no idea. Was there one at Monkey Wards too?

    Blue chips are all very well but a healthy 401k portfolio is diversified.

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    Actually Edward Charles Berriman abbreviated his name to Chuck Berry and went onto a second, more highly lucrative career. If you could rock like him would you really waste your time selling pipes?
