    That time of year

    Been seeing plenty of them turned into great feathery splotches along the parkway. As roadkill goes, it's actually bizarrely pretty. (I imagine Foghorn Leghorn saying, "I say, nice folks, but not too bright.")

    Proud / Uh-Oh

    They do make 'em, but I'd be worried about the choking. Good call on the cob itself, though. I think a full-sized cob may be the way to go... no heartbreak if it gets busted up.

    Proud / Uh-Oh

    Sitting outside yesterday with the family, puffing on some Ten Russians in a Pete author... I gesture at my son (six months) with my pipe... and he grabs the stem and starts trying to put it in his mouth! In a way, I'm very proud to have a natural born briar man. In another way, I'm a little...

    Huh. Not sure if this idea sucks or not.

    Irish (pipe) family portrait

    Handsome family! Especially the birdseye on the system pipe... it's just ridiculous. (Love the pearl-bit straight bulldoggy too.)

    Some Irish humor in advance of St. Patty's Day tomorrow!

    What's Irish foreplay? "Brace yerself, Margaret!"

    Well, that bites a bit!

    And you can't even chew gum if you're trying to quit!

    How to survive a free-falling elevator

    I always heard that if you're in a rapidly-falling elevator, the best option is to lower your center of mass by crouching down. Then, you should secure your head between your knees and kiss your ass goodbye.

    And now, a possum on a snowboard.

    Not the snowboarding--but making it wear that sweater is heartless.

    So I haven't been around for a little while...

    Mazel tov! Wishing your expanded fam every good thing (including a quick progression to sleeping through the night.)

    Hi Ho silver $$$

    Annie comes to mind. And they did make A Prairie Home Companion into a film, though that's a new-old-time radio show.

    You can't air this stuff no mo.

    Thanks for this link... lots of good memories watching this on my Grandparents' old rabbit-ears Zenith, in syndication. That and What's Happening and Three's Company.

    "Cowboy" looks a lot like Jamie from Mythbusters to me... which just adds to the awesomeness.

    Keen's Churchwarden Archive

    Great article in today's Times about tracking down an old clay house pipe at Keen's Chop House in NYC. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/04/nyregion/pipe-from-keens-steakhouse-is-claimed-and-smoked-decades-after-storage.html If you have the chance, Keen's is totally worth the trip... even if you...

    A Convenient Hobby For Pipe Smoking

    You've seen Fight Club, right?
  17. Doc Manhattan

    Gimmicky or neat--I still want one.

    With the handle, but without the flashlight, it's got the same profile as the beloved plastic lunchboxes of my childhood. Customization opportunity! I want a Dukes of Hazzard one like I used to have. Or Garfield... nobody in hell would expect a Garfield lunchbox to be packing firepower. The last...

    Bernard Zwiefacher

    Never had a snuff suddenly go bad on me... I've had snuffs lose their aroma through my own carelessness with the lid, but that just made them more boring, not offensive. One theory: Schmalzers get their coarse, moist texture in part from some fat (Schmalz) in the mixture. If memory serves, an...

    Oh Yeah, My Daughter...

    That doesn't narrow it down... they're all artsy. Even the Orthodox Jewish one with a separate girls and boys campus is artsy. In any case, congrats, man!
