The Goes Wrong Show - If You Like Theater, Comedy, & General Silliness
I discovered this show last night on Amazon Prime Video. I honestly have not laughed as much or as hard in a long time as I did watching it. The premise is it's a live play being filmed and broadcast on TV but everything in the play goes wrong. Everything from mis-cues, fouled up lines, stage...- shanez

Finally Ordered This Savinelli Autograph On My Wish List!
This had been sitting on my with list at Smoking Pipes for a little while now and I finally pulled the trigger. The price was right and the shape/texture/color just does it for me! If it's wrong to say a pipe is sexy then I don't want to be right! The blast is rather fantastic. (With all the... -
Watch City Slices - Can't Figure This One Out
I've just recently tried this blend and have had a limited number of bowls but there's something about it I can't figure out. The bag note is good and the retrohale is phenomenal but there's a flavor lurking in the blend I can't identify. It reminds me of a kind of burnt olive oil taste I get...- shanez

Golden Monkey Black Tea
Golden monkey is probably my favorite kind of tea and I just got a new one in so I thought I'd start a discussion for my fellow tea lovers. I ran out of my last bit of Teavana brand golden monkey some time ago and I was a little frustrated trying to get it replaced. Teavana is not what it used...- shanez

A Pipe For A Friday Evening
I sent my wife a text that I was on my way home from work and she replied, she was getting a haircut, our daughter was still at the babysitter's, and I should go home and enjoy my pipe.

Why The Heavy Use of Red VA In VaPers?
Not to start a discussion on Red VA vs everything else but why does it seem like so many, especially small batch, blends feature red VA heavily? I get that it usually has a great tanginess but I prefer a VaPer with a hay/bread/malt forward VA and the tang is supplied by a good plum/raisin/fig...- shanez

I had been eyeing this one for some time and after receiving it I don't know why I waited so long. This is a substantial, honking even, piece of meer artistry. Hand flat just the meer portion runs from the heel of my palm to my fingertips. Plus it's a really cool almost art nouveau shape... -
Any Linux Pros Here? (I'm Wanting To Put It On A Chromebook)
So I have a chromebook which I really like but I really can't stand the intrusiveness of the Chrome OS so I'm considering my options. I think I'm going to try Linux GalliumOS but it looks like I have 3 options: 1) Install Crouton and run both OS simultaneously with the ability to toggle back...- shanez

Huge Props For Missouri Meerschaum!
Thanks to embers I contacted Missouri Meerschaum about getting some of their pipes with a natural finish. Marilyn over there replied and let me know they don't post certain pipes as it takes the right kind of cobs to make them right and they don't always have the cobs they need. That right...- shanez

SP Europe Weird Return Address
Just had a pipe from SP Europe arrive in the mail and, oddly, the return address on the package is Peterson of Dublin in Ireland. It makes no difference to me I just thought it odd. Perhaps a business partnership?- shanez
