    Long Spiked Lug Nuts

    Has anyone every driven too close to those tractor trailers that have those long menacing spiked lug nuts and ripped up their car and or tyres? Every time I pass one I wonder how many people have done so and exactly what sort of damage occurred. It hasn't happened to me yet but with my luck...

    Dennis O'Rourke: Opinions From Australians Wanted

    Some Aussie I befriended recently who makes documentaries turned me onto the films of Dennis O'Rourke. I've only watched Cannibal Tours and half of Cunnamulla so far, and they were probably two of the most peculiar, thought provoking and sordid documentaries I've ever seen. This guy really had a...

    Do You Remember G.L.O.W.?

    I don't know why this popped in my head... but I was always a bit worried when I was watching this that my Mom would walk in and in hindsight it is sort of strange that I wasn't embarrassed watching a bunch of dudes acting like fools in tights.

    Mussels Too Plump

    I like to go out for mussels a couple times a month (don't really cook them home that much despite it being rather easy) and have noticed in the last two months that the PEI mussels served to me are much more plump than in winter. Do mussels tend to be bigger in warmer months? I don't know about...

    Most Popular Pipe Beards

    What would you say are the most popular pipe beards? From my observations I would say the top three are: the neck beard, the bald beard, and the Gandalf. Surprisingly the Rapscallion and the Potion Castle don't seem to be trending in the piper community.

    Autopilot / Muscle Memory

    Do you find yourself doing things and not actually remember completing the task, etc.? Every morning I make my girlfriend coffee while she walks the dog and start doing something else only to think I forgot to take the moka pot off the stove, rush into the kitchen to find that I had already done...

    Yet Another Ye Ol' British Television Thread

    Has anyone watched this British show Sharpe that takes places during the Napoleonic wars? It's both campy without being overly silly and rather interesting historically--it also features a young Brian Cox. Reminds me a bit of some old American western show (like the Rifleman) crossed with a...

    Running Into People Or Not

    Often when I walk my dog at night I hope to run into this one guy who lives in my building who I only bump into occasionally as we always have a nice chat about music etc. Actually was in a rather successful indie band in the early 00s but is a programmer now and unlike a few of the other...

    Ruminations On Asparagus

    I love to eat asparagus but only buy it when it is in season locally but thinking about asparagus, asparagus is a rather bizarre vegetable, wouldn't you say? And I'm not talkin' bout the urine sniffing aspect of asparagus but rather the shape, taste and the way asparagus grows (the plant it...

    Big Jim Sullivan Died

    Big Jim Sullivan died in 2012. His solo on Scott Walker's The Electrician was astounding. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2012/oct/03/big-jim-sullivan

    Soon-to-be- Forgotten 80s Comedy Flicks

    I only saw Fletch a few years ago on an international flight. Perhaps it was the altitude but I rather enjoyed it.

    I Was Peeling Some Salsfy

    I was peeling some salsify I had grown, actually a leftover root I somehow overlooked plucking over the winter that I pulled upon just yesterday, satisfyingly. They have this sort of sticky sap that oozes out when you nick them and I started to wonder how long it took people to find out this...

    Crisis Mode Vs. Standard Mode

    Do you think most people are better wired for one of these over the other? I mean... some people are great at planning things, keeping paper work in order, never forgetting to order the heartworm medicine, etc., but when sh#t hits the fan they don't know how to cope with it. While, the other...

    Best Tasting Sugar

    Most people seem to think all sugar is equal but I bought a bag of panela sugar yesterday and this stuff is amazing. I believe it's similar to the jaggery that is used in Indian cooking. It has this rich nutty taste about it that makes standard cane sugar seem one dimensional in comparison...

    Wonderfully Horrible Restaurant Names

    I passed by this place today and immediately wondered if they served their chicken with white sauce like the halal carts use. https://www.yelp.com/biz/jerk-off-the-grill-new-york

    Things That Shouldn't Bother You But Do

    It seems that most people get more cranky as they get older but I often feel the opposite and have if anything learned to disengage or ignore from annoying behavior as it's pretty much a losing battle but... somethings still drive me crazy despite my attitude change which has happened gradually...

    Ever Wind With A Pipe In?

    Ever get a short burst of wind, I mean like a belch but with more velocity but less width, while just a second before you are about to exhale and the smoke sort of shots forth and skips like a stone against the night. . .

    OPP On China

    How do you feel about other people's property on China? We have these nice Limoges plates and they have some count or whoever's manor on them. When I was pushing around my flounder on my plate I looked down and caught a glimpse of that stately home and thought I don't want no opp on my plate. I...

    It occurred to me this evening that it is highly plausible that one day in the future no one will of ever heard the Odd Couple theme song.
