    Who Among Us Are Good Cooks ?

    I've been working in restaurants since I was 16, and have been in the kitchen with my mom from day 1. I won a competition in 4th grade with my corn bread recipenand my mom switched to mine. (Better than mom's being the best compliment one can give, I am still flattered to this day) Since New...

    Enough is enough.

    Blasphemy. Refer to the rules of brotherly pipe smoking. A brother is always to encourage the purchase of another pipe, unless said brother wants said pipe for himself.

    Beard related trauma.....

    I'm about 15 minutes away from a clean shave after two years of a full beard. Job interview tomorrow, going for the "clean cut" look. Funny that this thread popped up.

    Sounds like fun with the little guy. You and him are both invited on my excursion.

    George Kaplan lost in the north woods?

    I will definitely be in touch when I make it down there. I forgot about the really fun part: I have to find the place. My dad doesn't remember the exact location, and there might be a locked gate across the drive (assuming that hasn't been washed away as well). So my first stop is going to be in...

    George Kaplan lost in the north woods?

    Will do rob. I am worried that the bad winter will cause some flooding this spring, so I hope to find the balance of nice weather but not ankle deep in river water. Early fall is an option, too. This may be more realistic as I will have to get my stuff together... All my camping supplies are...

    George Kaplan lost in the north woods?

    Your story so far is freakin' great. I have been following you so far. I totally understand the need to get outta dodge for a while. I am looking into an old family campground in Missouri. There was a fire pit and hand pump for water, an outhouse and covered slab for picnic tables. It was all...

    Thinking of trying pipe carving

    Many a brother has been lost to the carving side of our hobby. I remember a young fella named "uberhuberman" that was just getting the smoking side of things down when he decided to try his hand at carving. Haven't heard from him in a while. On the other hand, this DSHPipes fellow seems to be...

    Vulcanite Bits

    for those taking the vegetable oil method, I would skip the extra virgin olive oil, the extra virgin means there are the highest percentage of olive solids in the oil, and rancidity is a result. Ideally, the clearest oils will work the best. "Vegetable oil" from the supermarket (normally 100%...

    So, I'm Ignorant . . .

    full disclosure, as always, I was looking for an Allastair Cookie pic (cookie monster in a smoking jacket and ascot with a pipe lampooning Allastar Cooke of masterpiece theatre, the bit was called Monsterpiece Theatre, and cookie monster ate his pipe at the end of the sketch). I happened upon my...

    So, I'm Ignorant . . .

    To address the other issue, the smoking rooms in zeppelins were lined with lead and sealed so even an errant tinder wouldn't set the hydrogen ablaze.

    Nicotine hangover?

    I don't disagree cart: we are both just saying its hard to dehydrate yourself with just two fingers of kentucky's finest. Your liver at 21 is different than yours at 31, and drinking like I did in college is a weekend ruin-er these days. Learning limits comes with experience and common sense.

    Nicotine hangover?

    don't blame the arrow, blame the indian. It's neither the booze nor the nicotine that makes you feel like crap, it's the fact that I CHOSE to have half the bottle and smoke a MM General top to bottom.
