A chew of SWR followed while watching the ducks eat slugs. Man, do they gobble them up! Reminds me of myself when let loose at a Chinese Sechuan Smorgasbord.
Hmm ... I think I understood, gord. But am curious ... how were the slugs fixed at the Smorgasbord?
NOTE: This question is coming from somebody who fixed a cast iron skillet filled with Chicken Hearts last night, sauteed in some bacon grease with sliced onions & mushrooms.

So then it was a setup, and I took the bait. Pretty esoteric one, if ya ask me!! rotf
Well, I was right there with you, thinking that it sure didn't look like a Cherrywood to me. Hence, I just got "edumacated" that Cherrywood is also a shape ... never knew that. Glad you brought it up, though, because I've sort of "held my tongue" various times here ... examples being when somebody shows a Dublin, but I could swear it's a Billiard. Or somebody shows a Billiard, but I could swear it's a Lovat (which does have a Billiard bowl). And I always look closely at Canadians.
NOTE: Not long back, Jim changed an ID to a Rhodesian VS a Bulldog, thanks to someone's inquiry. I also wondered about it.

Did a little low calorie snacking, and near the last third of this bowl of year 2012 Virginia Spice in a 1979 brown grain etched Lane Era Charatan's Make medium bend calabash shape 483DC with a black vulcanite double comfort stem. Sleepy Suzy is still by my side. Molly Danger has been with m'lady all evening.

Now smoking first production Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in a black rusticated medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY 4AB No. 67/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. I'll probably end the day with this smoke. Reading baseball box scores.

Enjoyed a tasty red delicious apple, and am passing the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2020 H&H Chatham Manor in a straight black sandblasted, smooth dark brown top bowl 2021 Jim Brown stack Rhodesian with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Had intended to make it an early night, but there's things that need to be done. Watching the Orioles-A's game, and am getting ready to see if any of the ferals are hungry.

Passing the half way mark of this bowl of year 2018 Sutliff Walnut Match in a 1990s smooth brown medium bend briar calabash shaped Butz-Choquin Maitre Pipier JR Fait Main with a horn ferrule and a black vulcanite stem. I'll end the day with this smoke. Fed all the cats, and the ferals wanted back out. Tomato the Brave looked at me and yowled so I'd know he wanted out. The little fella ate a lot of food, and I guess he wanted out to expend some energy. Daisy the Feral Princess was more subdued. She came over, and stood on my left foot, and stared at me. Harry the Hairy just went to the door, and waited for me to see him. It's in the 60s outside and not raining, so I figure they're enjoying all of that.
