Buried in one of the ubiquitious list-o-surprising-facts articles on the Internet, I learned that novelist Kurt Vonnegut has a patent on an easy-to-clean pipe. http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/06/celebrity-patents?pid=3449 I'm no good at reading blueprints, but it appears that there's a...

6-8 pipes a chapter! Don't know if he was brand-loyal, but that's Royal Yacht he loads up with... 6 pipes of that and I couldn't get off the sofa, much less write.

I liked Waccamaw when I tried it. I bet I'll like the tin I've set back a few years even better.

Just a taste to get me to payday, Kyle! I'm pretty sure the bees I'm seeing aren't real. One of them told me so.

Carb spray... brake cleaner... a casual attitude towards killing... So, when you guys make you next batch of meth, can I have some?

Good news, everybody! Congrats, man!

Just hook up a dynamo to George Romney spinning in his grave when he hears that... you won't even have to pay for the juice.

Hey, I'm only two of those things! Ink? Link!

You just loved that scene in Harold & Maude where he chops the MG into a hearse, didn't you? (I did.) I hate the smug mileage braggarts, with the exception of people who have gone Full Engineer on the issue and have started modding their Prii to get ludicrous efficiency. I read about a guy with...

My mother was fond of yelling at people like that Prius owner, "Get off the cross, honey, we need the wood." On the flipside, I am fond of the Prius owners who keep a sense of humor about it. My friend has a white Prius with the full-size longhorns attached to the front, a la a J.R. Ewing...

Ah, sorry to be no help. I'm actually curious myself about Madison tobacconists per se, since I too am headed there (actually a little past there) on business in the nearish future.

Mr. E, speaking of "improvements," does anyone actually drink the Bud & Clamato horrorshow south of the border? I feel like it's an elaborate joke on us gabachos.

Are you doing the usual Madison business route, i.e. flying into Milwaukee or Chicago and driving? That will put you near Uhle's and Iwan Ries, respectively. Madison itself, I know not.

They were made by Royal Dutch, a factory better known for Big Ben pipes. Researching this, I was saddened to learn that RDC went bellyup in March. Sic transit etc etc. :cry:

Saw $3.51 yesterday, not bad at all for the CT shoreline. Still staying home today and smoking and drinking bourbon in the backyard, total gas consumption 0 gallons. Cause I'm such a green eco-warrior, you know. :alien:

My first pipe was from the Main Street USA tobacconist in Disney World! A pretty figural meer, not Disney-branded. At the time I was... 15ish? At the time, never thought I'd smoke it. How things change!

Love Manhattan Special! Haven't had one in years... the many Italian delis near where I used to live always stocked it.

It wasn't exactly the scenario, but pretty darn close: Children of Men, 2006.

Gorgeous! Pre-consolidation, branded Orliks are already shockingly undervalued for fine, classic Brit pipes. Small wonder that even a "giveaway" line of that era smokes like a Dunny for the square root of the price.

Are we just talking pure mathematical effect? I have to side with the "non-catastrophic blip." It would depend on the sort of economy and workforce you had, but it'd level out. The more interesting effect is the sociological reactions to the baby drought, which would depend on why there was...
