about to put match to a bowl of Macbaren golden extra in a Boswell egg jumbo. Hopefully it's enough to keep out the cold.

Yes, I've taken 6 history courses at university, and I have no real quarrel with what you're saying. But since there are more people alive than ever before, that also means people are dying more than ever before, aided an more efficient weapons. Not that I'm knocking scientific progress; rather...

Technology has enhanced the destructive capacity of mankind, compounded with increased agricultural efficiency meaning there are more people to compete with economically and destroy militarily. Mass starvations have also met record deaths because there are (or were, yet still are) an...

If I had a choice, I'd rather own up to how tragic the recent past has been and bloody do something about it.

Ah, if only I could have lived when DDT was still considered a good thing. It'd also be amusing to be instructed by public school teachers how to protect yourself from a megaton bomb blast by hiding under your desk. Then there is also the blissful memory of Jim Crow and all the other pleasant...

Direct and succinct.

Ocean liner's are fine, I guess. But I think I'd rather take a trip on a Boeing Constellation or a Soviet TU 114. Speed and luxury combined which killed the ocean liner. :) Honestly though, I'd probably put my lot in with early commerical soviet airpower.

Thanks for all the suggestions (and grammar *cough* corrections). The description of Jack Knife sounds really tasty, but if gold brick is a smaller jump in N factor, that might be a better way to go. I'll probably put in an order for several different things and try them all out. It's really a...

About a month ago, I tried my first plug of Pipe Tobacco. It was Peterson's Perfect Plug, and I instantly fell in love with it. Since then, I have stalked up on 3 P's, but I also want to explore the larger plug world. Unfortunately, it seems there is very little commercially available...

Damn, beat me to it. I guess the role of fact checker is already taken. Though I should probably expect as much of a professor of history. :) Cheers

I got my boarding pass. Pumped to watch the Launch on NASA TV come Dec. 4th!

I "threw my vote away." No regrets.

Dock workman at Fed Ex ground. Not what I want to do, and not what I'm trained to do, but it's a paycheck.

Smoking Peterson's Perfect Plug (one of my all time favorites) in a boswell freehand.

Nice to meet you! I'm known simply as "Stretch" over there. What was the average distance traveled by the group?

Oh, most def....as if JM would tolerate that sort of dress code. :P

Burley Twist Flake in an unmarked billiard.

No, I'm more the buffet line kind of philosophy student. A little inspiration here and a little there. Among my inspirations are Epicurus, David Hume, and Bertrand Russell.

Well, the baccy I buy most often when I'm up there is the bulk navy flake they sell. But if you mean their house blends, I'd have to go with Sweet Tea or Boswell's Best. Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. :)

I was there the day this was going on, but I wasn't a member of this forum at the time. :( I'm there every other saturday or so...
