    Sounds weird, but works well:

    C'mon... you know you want to. Just a tiny touch on the end of each fang.

    Any Bicyclists Out There?

    One-time ultra-marathoner checking in. :) Late 80's and early 90's. State crossings for time, 12 and 24 hour loops for distance, etc. Matt Bond (a 6-time RAAM finisher) was a friend, as well as John McKinley and a handful of other go-fast-'n'-never-stop head cases. Centuries were my claim...

    Now Here's a Headline You Don't See Everyday

    Speaking of crazy raccoons, I had one pry its way into my attic through a vent and try to set up shop there thirty years ago when I lived in semi-rural Ohio. People told me it was probably planning to raise a family, and things would only get more complicated fast if I didn't take action. So...

    You Asked for It, You Got it! No More Member Welcome Category

    Kevin Godbee on The Pipes Magazine Radio Show of May 6, 2025

    The question on everyone's mind, of course, is whether he puts on his best suit for radio interviews, or wears a back-row one from last year.

    My Return

    Listen up. Mr. Rustie got smooshed between a motorcycle and a car... and the car got crunched while he (in relative terms) walked away. His outline was clearly visible on the car. Think about that. It was witnessed by members of the public, and the docs who patched up the ouchies he did...

    Need Something Better Than A Tri-Tool

    If a tri-tool isn't enough, get a quad tool. Duh

    New Additions Coming To The Pipedia Barling Page

    Don't get too excited. Mr. Guss admits that he is only moderately confident that Mr. Nichols was wearing a necktie that had an odd---as opposed to even---thread count on June 9th 1937, or which of his two favorite tampers he used for his first smoke after tea on March 12th of 1955. I mean...

    Peterson Bowl Cracked During Alcohol Cleaning

    A flaw in the wood that was always there + made worse by burning + expansion pressure of salt/alcohol combination =

    Read This Before Concluding ANYTHING Regarding Blend Preferences

    Growing up to be considered ever-so-vehry British, though, required playing the Eaton Wall Game... ;)

    Thuoc Lao Tien Lang Vietnamese Tobacco

    You missed your calling. Should have been a supermarket tabloid headline writer until the Interweb came along, then a social media clickbait headline writer. You'd be a billionaire by now.

    Who Is That Kitty?

    No shortage of crazy cats. Being "agreeably crazy" is part of why humans like them, I think...

    Watch For Flying Motorbikes

    I'm even more surprised that someone was willing to find out if it was stable at that speed. 😳

    First Go at Major Surgery

    Yup. If even a thousandth of an inch off axially or laterally, the fit will be screwed. The only way to avoid that is to glue the shank together first, then ream and insert the tube. Full explanation and demo here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFwwtvtKlXW-eWeQUNKxuUHybmGb6DX8k
