My son wants a new video game, but I was thinking of getting myself a new Grabow and some match Middleton Cherry. Would it be selfish for me to treat myself instead of him?

P.S. My boy is 33yo
Video games ..... It's poison . Treat yourself and have the boy take the trash out

Saw this at the grocery store. Have you ever had this? Did they name it after you?

Well, they certainly didn't name this after him:

I've read the archives, the Mayor seems to be a swell guy without a swell head. It's always nice to read his posts, unless he's swooning about redheads, which, it seems, he'll do at the drop of a hat.

I do have a question, though. What color is a white horse that has run through the mud?

Dear Ruffinogold,

Did "Codgers of Old" have some kind of pipe occlusion competition going on or what?

My father did not. He reamed with a pocket knife and kept cake trimmed back pretty thin. I remember a priest who would use a key to break to get between the bowl and the cake to to break it off in chunks.

I think that's the pipe smokers equivalent of a one hitter. Or maybe for when you want a quick 5 minute smoke. Haha.

I don't think I'd be able to resist smoking that at least once in its current state(after cleaning out the shank), just to experience that much "history" in a smoke.

I keep coming back to look at it in amazement. I wonder how long that took!?

If it was someone like [mention]Fr_Tom[/mention] who owned it, I'd say about a month or so. :D
