    My AeroBilliard

    Doesn't happen with every bowl but I get 2 or 3 drops of condensation in the second chamber. So the smoke is staying in that chamber long enough to condense. Therefore it must be cooler, but not noticeably so to this smoker.

    FREE MOVIES!!!

    Since striking out at Vioosz, I've been on YouTube. Many movies someone would pay to see are there but demand a fee. I've been watching the free stuff, and there's plenty there. Just finished watching "The Borrower," a great horror film in which an alien wears out heads. If you're around when...

    Affleck the new Batman

    When Tom Cruise was cast to play the vampire Lestat, it was greeted with universal groans. But he did a great job. How can anyone prejudge what he will do in the role? Don't we need to a performance to evaluate to know his success?

    FREE MOVIES!!!

    They wanted a credit card number to "validate" my account, as usual saying that it "would not be charged." Horse-hockey. In my experience if you give someone your credit card they charge you the hidden charge that's buried on some tangential page that you never see. It's shady business, a scam...

    Cob/Wood Glue

    I removed the stem insert from a cob and glued the stem proper back in place. In so doing wood glue rolled down into the bottom of the cob, where it has proceeded to stay. I can't just pop it out with a screwdriver, say, as it really seems to have bonded to the cob. I've also inserted a pocket...

    Take your pick

    In some of the photos Richardson is shown in a submissive position, as the lions bound toward him. As he must adopt that position for safety, but even more puts himself at risk around a powerful, aggressive animal, this says to me that he is at risk, and knows it, no matter if the cats had been...

    Who the devil is "Guest"...

    Forum participation, as sterile as it is, digitally nondescript, demands that the participants at least have IDs. I wish "guests" were invited to leave. JMHO.

    [strike]Leaving[/strike] Left town for a couple of days.

    I never considered that I was operating under a regional deficit. Though I believe I understand who the characters are based on what they do and say, and what others say about them, I'm sure I'd understand them better if I were Southern. But then again that wouldn't be enough. I'd have to be...

    "The Sound and the Fury" is stream-of-consciousness, but I don't believe any of the rest of his novels are, and I wouldn't say that his other novels I've read are, either. However, as above, the syntax is pushed hard, and that may give similar difficulty.

    IMHO, you have tossed Faulkner the writer off. How much of him did you read? Did you just start one of his novel's and form an opinion? To my mind, and I wish to emphasize "my," he is one of the major stylists of the 20th century. For instance he will write one of his famous convolutions and...

    Cob "Filter" Problem

    I've cut the stem and glued the new length into the cob, but in so doing some of the Elmer's Wood Glue got into the bottom of the bowl. Is it safely smoked upon?

    New Pease Flavor

    Never met aged pipe tobacco or an aged cigar I didn't love.

    Just a little update...

    There's nothing quite so startling and intensely aromatic as beans being roasted. Good!
