Fallout 3 is on its way to being released. May even be this week. My 'puter won't run anything past about the year '02 or so, so I don't play many games on it anymore. For consoles, only have the PS2 and I pretty much only run the sports games(football, hockey, basketball) these days, with an...

Is there any reasoning behind the unavailability of rye whiskey? I have no knowledge of whiskeys, just seems to me if one type of spirit is available, the rest should be, as well. Curious.

I'll take a slice of the dark leaf!

You're not far off on that thinking, J. I've watched it a few times, not at all a bad show, but it's more for the fairer sex than for the gents. My upstairs neighbors, women all, have every episode squirreled away on their Tivo and watch it constantly. I'll have to point out the Sherlock Holmes...

Just build a still....that's legal, ain't it? :joker:

Been a while, but isn't this the album with their (drunken) version of Happy Trails at the end of it? Loved that album growing up.....

I can't offer you any suggestions on sweet-tasting whiskeys, but I can suggest something else. Benadictine and Brandy, sold as B&B in most liquor joints. It's pricey, but extremely tasty. Goes well with a pipe.

William S Burroughs tried that with his wife and a .22. The apple came out of it splendidly.....can't say as much for the wife.......coincidence? Having never been married, I cannot answer that question....

I have up to Wizard and Glass, missing Wolves of Caala and have Song of Susannah. Every time I run across Wolves, I can never muster up the strength to purchase it and end up getting something else, instead. Going to have to check into it, I guess.

Took me a bit to get the "deal" with Penzance, too. After reading all the reviews and hearing people slobbering all over how good it was, I think I was expecting waaaay too much when I first got my hands on it. After I let it be for a while, then came back to it it was along the lines of...

Have this same set of books and I have to say they're all rather enjoyable. I've never been a big Holmes fan, but I received this collection as a gift and, being short of other stuff to read, started working my way through it. Not bad, just not my "reach for" when it comes to literature...

Currently reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Excellent book. Desolate and frightening and tender all at the same time. I guess a movie's coming out based on it sometime next year.

If you make it to the book past Wizard and Glass in this series, do me a favor and let me know. I think it's called Wolves of Caala or something like that. I stopped following it after Wizard and Glass. Just seemed to be going off on tangents that I couldn't follow. But as I've started the...

I don't mind partial rustication/texturing if it makes sense. Just a splotch of texture to hide a flaw isn't my thing. Using a paneled pipe as an example, there are definite visual demarcations where each panel meets. If the maker rusticates every other panel, I think it looks right. As a guy...

Good lord, Cousin Brucie is still alive???

Get yourself a tin on Penzance. Quite a nice entry into the area of Latakia blends. And it's tasty, to boot!

When the end product is something that doesn't appeal to you, yet you have a bunch of it, then it's experimentation time, IMHO. That's why I stoved some of the Mac #1. The rest of it, I put up to age. Otherwise, my mouth caught on fire just thinking about lighting the pipe!

WHAT YOU NEED: Can of tuna(empty preferred, see below), clamps(c-clamps suggested, use what ya got), 'baccy, stove Open a can of tuna and empty it. Retain the lid. Turn the tuna into tuna salad, make a samich. Enjoy. Whilst eating the samich, clean the hell out of the can and lid. Soap and...

I'll give a second recommendation on the Orlick's and Hamburg Veermeister. Never had the third. @Natch...I have some Mac #1 and found the same to hold true. It's over 8 years old and has changed visibly a ton and smokes much nicer than it did when I first opened the canister. Then, I had to...

Buster... you may have to just play around with all sorts of different VAs until you find one you like enough to get you further into them. When I first started smoking them, I couldn't deal with them. Tongue burn, acrid, bleh....but now, I smoke VAs almost exclusively. While it's true you need...
