***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***
A dreary rainy day means the boss gave me the day off. Coffee on the porch, with bowl 60 of figurehead meer - Night Slices. The bowl's wide enough that I can almost fit a whole coin in width-wise, so I've got about three stacked up and packed. I believe I've observed some coloration on the sides...- Pooh-Bah

Any Tea Drinkers?
Like, tobacco instead of tea leaves? Probably as like, a medical tincture by a native shaman or a new age hippie or something. Or, burning tobacco as the heat source to boil water? That sounds like a way to turn your campfire into a fragrant delight that repels insects, and an enormous waste of...- Pooh-Bah

What are You Reading Now?
I've been struck by an itch to reread the Umineko series. Just starting today with episode 1, "Legend of the Golden Witch". In brief- 1986, Japan. The private island of an extravagantly wealthy family. The patriarch confines himself to his study. Having been given six months to live, he...- Pooh-Bah

What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2024
I saw this thing at the tobacconist the other day, said "Jesus Christ what the hell", and promptly bought one for the sheer novelty factor. Asylum 13, 80 gauge.- Pooh-Bah

Any Guesses as to What this Mystery Object Might Be?
There were giants in those days, and their size was equalled only by their nerdiness. That's a d12, for greataxes and barbarian hit points.- Pooh-Bah

***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***
Bowl 30 in the figurehead meer- some Half and Half that I tried infusing with creme de violette because I didn't like Half and Half very much when I tried it as-is. I think it's picked up some flavor from the blend-scraps that I jarred it with, and I'm getting a little tiny note of the violet...- Pooh-Bah

Whats the Coolest Smoking Pipe?
As others have already said, it mostly comes down to experience. However- I was consistently smoking hot when I started, so I got a meerschaum - I figured something that couldn't catch fire or get burnt through would be good training wheels.- Pooh-Bah

How/What Beverages do You Pair with Your Pipe?
Water. Coffee. Tea - used to be a big fan of Russian Caravan with my pipe, need to buy more of that. Most recently, I've taken to bringing my bottle of aquavit with me to the lounge, let the caraway cleanse my palate as necessary between puffs.- Pooh-Bah

The Matrix is Designed so that Everyone Sees a Clue
Eh, I can get behind fried gonads. Specifically fried! Then again, I'm allergic to shellfish (developed after I developed a taste for crab rangoon and fried clam, of course) and my bucket list includes "Eat horse".- Pooh-Bah

Bonsai?
Working at a tourist/field-trip destination farm last Fall, I picked up a couple acorns that fell me near me. Don't think my oak is quite developed enough to start bonsai-ing it, but that's the eventual plan. All of maybe five or six inches high so far, little nub on the side where I guess a...- Pooh-Bah
