Duct tape is like ‘The Force’. It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.

Laying a Little Pipe Down…

Posted by LC Aggie Sith on Friday, March 12, 2010 in AssHatery, Teh Funny

Scouring the blogs, as I am wont to do, I found a particularly delish story at Lemur King’s site. Seems the Brits have a new way of dealing with stressed workers: sniff bottled fresh air. According to the National Trust, each jar can relieve stress for ten minutes. Frankly, I think they are better off stepping outside for free and breathing air instead of running the risk of getting a fine for not properly disposing of the jar. But that’s neither here nor there (for now). What really caught my eye was the top story in the Weird section:

Man’s Penis Freed From Metal Pipe With Industrial Grinder

Tell me the title alone doesn’t hurt. Docs at the local hospital had to call in the fire department to give the bloke a bit of relief, until he saw what the firemen were going to use.

The firefighters used the four-and-a-half-inch industrial metal grinder to cut the pipe from around the anaesthetised man’s penis.

This is a pic of an industrial grinder at work:

I can feel y’all flinching all the way to Texas.

Stockpiling Tobacco

Posted by ArmedGeek on Wednesday, November 25, 2009 in Pipe Smoking

The latest round of absurd taxes on tobacco did not include pipe tobacco. Pipe tobacco can still be had fairly cheaply.

Update: Commenter “John Galt” points out the error.

That’s $25/lb.

What I’m Smoking

Posted by ArmedGeek on Saturday, November 21, 2009 in Pipe Smoking

Today, I’m smoking Peter Stokkebye’s Optimum Pipe Tobacco. This is actually some pretty good stuff. It is an extremely light aromatic hinting at rum and vanilla (I could be wrong). While it is almost too light, it is a very pleasant smoke.

I feel bad for bumping Tricia Helfer for tobacco.

New Pipe

Posted by ArmedGeek on Tuesday, November 17, 2009 in Personal, Pipe Smoking

Recently I purchased a new pipe. This is a “premium” pipe from a respected pipe maker.

This is a $75 pipe. Now, the problem is … it’s kinda tough to pack tobacco and light afire a $75 pipe. I’ve not actually smoked this yet. I have not decided what sort of tobacco I want to introduce to this work of fucking art.

I think due to massive tax increases in cigarettes and cigars, the pipe is poised to make a comeback.

Until they tax the fuck out of that too.
