    Las Vegas Intl Pipe Show 2025!

    Now spectator sports are something I do understand. So I gather this is like watching the lighting of a Christmas tree, only instead of standing still the tree moves around in serious agitation? Are there sounds to accompany the visuals?

    Las Vegas Intl Pipe Show 2025!

    So I'm not very knowledgeable about subcultures unless I'm a participant, but isn't being covered with fur and being around matches or lighters a bad idea?

    Former Pipes

    Why else did God give you two perfectly good kidneys? System redundancy is His way of saying "stop bitching and buy a damn Former if you want one".

    PSA: Check Your Hearth & Home 8 oz Tins For Rust.

    The angel's share in action. The blackening you see is the impact of evaporation on tombstones in the cemetery next to the Glenrothes distillery. I took this on a visit to the Speyside with friends almost a decade ago.

    Is it true? My dear War Horse is dead?
