    Words and Phrases You’ve Come to Hate

    This seems ambiguous because we can grammatically say: "Bring an umbrella, in case of rain." That doesn't mean to bring an umbrella when it is raining. So the sign could mean that the elevator is out of service "in case there is a fire". The sign could say:"In the event of fire" etc. and be...

    Words and Phrases You’ve Come to Hate

    Going forward, I am of the opinion that we should work as a team and put our heads together to think outside the box. We need to interrogate this topic and uncover the ways we valorize the current hegemony and privilege the language of the oppresive culture of paternalism.

    Words and Phrases You’ve Come to Hate

    The words hegemony, valorize, privilege, and interrogate as used by the Cultural Studies people. Also the word butthurt used by anyone. Cohort seems to be another newspeak word, replacing group.

    Death Metal

    Favorite OTC blend and why...

    I've been smoking OTC for some weeks. It was Prince Albert till my little shop hasn't restocked it and I went with Carter Hall. Today I tried some Borkum Riff Original Mixture. Twice the cost of the other two. Sure do miss the good stuff from online. Time to get back. Latakia, here I come.

    On Hipsters

    On the other hand, why would fitting within the cultural default be admirable? Most men look like clones of other men. Consider, if you will, the tie. Incidently, I was watching a youtube video from the UK on guitars (Andertons site) and one the guys (Chappers) remarked that in the UK people...

    Your First Blend

    I've been smoking pipes for a year, this month. First tobacco was Captain Black. First tinned was Nightcap. The only OTC I'll buy now is Prince Albert (smoking some now in my first pipe, a Peterson B5 Bent Bulldog).

    Pipe At The Work Place

    Cremation seems to be getting popular. Both my parents (80 years old) want that. So do I. That or a pyramid.

    Does pipe smoking bring you closer to your father?

    Dad smoked pipes when I was a kid. Not now. But he got nostalgic when I started to. He said his pipe was like a lover. Mom says he never took the dang thing out of his mouth and always mumbled when he talked. He had it clenched in his teeth even when golfing. He's now 80 years old and still...
