Help identifying age of MM corncob
Hey folks, I just purchased an old MM corncob pipe and was curious how old it was and was hoping some of you gentlemen would be kind enough to give me a general idea of its manufacture. I know it seems to be WAY higher quality than current MM. (Not hating on MM. I have one I smoke regularly...- Daddypants

Man, that must be an Aussie or Euro selection only. I damn sure can't get it on mine here in the US. Figures.- Daddypants

Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels was a FANTASTIC movie. I watched it and then couldn't wait for Snatch to come out. That one was great too. Since then, his stuff hasn't been as good, but, damn, those two movies were better than most directors can do with untold millions. This series seems...- Daddypants

Tyson vs Paul
I didn't realize those were free. I heard that ONE has started showcasing Muay Thai fights and they were awesome but I thought they were PPV. I'm gonna have to check it out. One of the things that has killed boxing and mma for me has been ALL the fights are now PPV. You used to have some...- Daddypants

Tyson vs Paul
Speaking of the Old Mongoose, I wonder if Tyson is going to use a page out of his playbook? Tyson is a well known appreciator of the old time boxers and other than George Foreman's comeback, Archie Moore was the only guy that was really successful when he was old and past his prime. It would be...- Daddypants

Tyson vs Paul
I, too, love mma. I wish there was a push for more Muay Thai fights here in the States. Those are fun to watch, we just don't get as many opportunities to see them as they do in Asia. At least not live.- Daddypants

Crap. I almost forgot: The Mongoose Archie Moore. Before my time, but he was amazing.- Daddypants

Tyson vs Paul
Paul pisses me off. Calling out fighters that are either WAY past their prime OR to challenge them in a sport that is NOT what they competed in, is utter bullshit. Every time he does this crap I want someone to challenge him back with a spelling contest. lol. Too many greats to name an...- Daddypants

I read the novel in Junior High or perhaps early High School. I also thought it did an admirable job of teaching you Japanese. In my eyes, at the time, it seemed entire paragraphs would be written in Japanese by the end of the book! I also rate this new mini series 4.5/5 stars so far. Great...- Daddypants

Hunting scope for 30-06
What years did you shoot in the hunter class? My dad used to shoot that class back in the 70s (possibly even the late 60s - not sure on that though as I wasn't around then).- Daddypants

Hunting scope for 30-06
Another fan of Vortex here. Best value of scope out there. I've had some good Primary Arms scopes also but not on a bolt gun. I've had higher end scopes before also but I think Vortex or Primary Arms are the best values out there, with the Vortex being the better of the two. One area that...- Daddypants

Who Has a Job He Actually Loves?
I don't know how that company stays in business. I guess never paying ANY taxes EVER sure helps. Several years ago now, they bought out a bunch of companies in the oil and gas industry. Mostly manufacturers and suppliers. They then told the once functioning and profitable businesses that they...- Daddypants

Comics' Legend Ramona Fradon, R.I.P.
@JimInks, I have drawn and painted since a very small child but stopped in high school because I had “to get a real job.” Now that I am older and have made a living doing other things, I have returned to drawing. I was always self taught and have been learning pen and ink. I love it but the...- Daddypants

Comics' Legend Ramona Fradon, R.I.P.
@JimInks Did you ever finish any of Big John Buscema’s work? Buscema was one of my favorites, especially when he was pencilling Savage Sword of Conan. Alfredo Alcala’s inks over Buscema’s pencils was amazing on those early issues. What advice would you give someone learning how to ink...- Daddypants

Comics' Legend Ramona Fradon, R.I.P.
I had no idea you were an inker, @JimInks! Your username makes WAY more sense now! I remember Mark Evanier from the old Groo comics. I am a big fan of Sergio Aragones. He was my favorite part of Mad magazine! Do you still ink? A few years back, I started inking traditionally with crow quill...- Daddypants

I Don't Smoke in Warm Weather. You?
Drought and fire hazard is more the issue than the temperature for me in the summertime. The fewer ignition sources, the better. I don’t even like mowing the grass when it gets really dry for fear of sparking and catching things on fire.- Daddypants

Welp! They Did Not Sell Me the Lapis Pipe.
Waco area but I get around quite a bit. IIRC, there was a Conquistador and a Sailor in that collection. Either way, I dug them but I can’t part with the coin. With my luck, I would drop the sucker on my front doorstep shattering it and my heart into a million pieces before I ever got to smoke...- Daddypants

I've Got Friends in Low Places
The pulley bone is the best part of the chicken. Too bad no one cuts it out like my Maw Maw did. I spent many a dinner and supper making a wish with her. Them fighting roosters make for fine eating even if there ain’t a ton of meat on them. Pearl white bones. Nothing like the grey or brownish...- Daddypants
