    Alice's Restaurant and Happy Thanksgiving!

    It's tradition in my house to make my two daughters endure "Alice's Restaurant" while stuck in the car with me for holiday travel. I had my youngest, grand-daughter and son-in-law in my car on Friday, when we went to a Christmas tree farm. The SIL had never heard the song and was not...

    A Rarity? Anyone know about GBDs?

    Wow, what a piece! Yep, that one on GL Pease's page is the only other one that I have seen. The lower case b is also used in '57, which makes more sense, given the New Standard finish and perspex. Tip: A cell phone camera, zoomed in takes great close-up shots (no flash, under a light). 4...

    The Walking Dead

    Fear the Walking Dead is currently a better show, and more compelling to watch than TWD. (for many of the reasons stated in the article above)

    The Walking Dead

    Ok, I cannot not watch the show. I thought the 1st episode of the new season was awful and mostly made no sense. But, the 2nd and 3rd (last night) were pretty decent.

    What movie are you watching?

    That is the movie shown in the Metallic video for the song "One". I've always wondered what that movie was! I'll have to check it out.

    What movie are you watching?

    We watched Wind River last night, I give it a B+, an interesting and unique premise.

    I've since acquired a Curvy, it's a fabulous pipe. The reverse calabash does soften the smoke, and it never bites.

    What Are You Reading?

    That was a very good book,I enjoy most of McCammon's work. I'm reading the new Stephen King/Owen King novel, "Sleeping Beauties", so far it's pretty good.

    Berkley Club Bulldog (Sasieni 2nd)

    This one belongs to friend from another forum. He contacted me after spotting the pipe on Ebay and wondered if it was made by Sasieni. It was and I advised him that it looked like good buy. I volunteered to restore should he be successful in the purchase. The pipe was indeed in great shape...

    Scottie Piersel is now being knocked off...

    He's the father of pipe maker Juan Urquiza, who I know from the Allentown PA club.  He (his name is Juan Scotto) dabbles in making pipes himself.  I think he just makes what he likes and means no disrespect to other pipe makers, and i think he enjoys trying to stretch his skill set.  At...

    Chris Asteriou Shape #55

    He made me the same offer as well! I believe Chris said that one was in made for the owner of Neat Pipes (I can't remember his name).

    Chris Asteriou Shape #55

    Very nice! I pondered that particular pipe about a dozen times. I decided at the asking price, that I couldn't live with the small plateau spot. At 30% discount, I would have also grabbed it. The finish on the pipe is amazing on the screen, as is the stem. If you don't have a Chris Asteriou...

    GBD Virgin Lovat Restoration

    Thanks @ Lone! Someone else questioned the shape name and suggested Lumberman. It's actually neither a Canadian or a Lumberman, but rather a Lovat!
