So I get a picture message on my phone from the wife the other day. A cute white and orange kitten hiding in a planter. The internet is abundant with cute cat pictures, so I figure that's where it's from, say "DAWWWW" and move on. Then the scales fall from my eyes: our planter. Our shelf...

I'm not at all knowledgable on music of this era, but this is pretty cool--hearing Mozart's compositions on two of his stringed instruments, live in 2013. http://www.npr.org/blogs/deceptivecadence/2013/06/14/190975113/playing-mozart-on-mozarts-violin (Audio from NPR gets posted after the...

Do you know where your towel is? (Happy Towel Day, everyone.) :mrgreen:

I guess the briar sticks out a bit at the cigar bar. (Left the contact info legible because you should def. swing by the Owl Shop if you're ever in the Elm City... drop me a line, I'll buy you one if I can make it down.)

Buried in one of the ubiquitious list-o-surprising-facts articles on the Internet, I learned that novelist Kurt Vonnegut has a patent on an easy-to-clean pipe. http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/06/celebrity-patents?pid=3449 I'm no good at reading blueprints, but it appears that there's a...

Is it just me, or does the Icelandic "No Swimming" graphic look a lot like a pipe bobbing in the ocean? DANGER: DO NOT DROP PIPE IN SEA. (Also, the riptide warning looks surprisingly calm, like "Hey guys, come on over and see my wavy spear collection!")

Gents, I've been working hospital night shifts for the past month, which limits BoB moderating time (to say nothing of my pipe smoking time!) I have another stint of that coming soon, but as I have a little free time, I'm going to catch up on my old moderator duty of sorting posts into...
