Royal Wedding Registry, Obama Style

LC Aggie Sith — Thu, 25 Nov 2010 00:29:59 +0000

As y’all may have heard, but pretty much could give a flying fuck about, Prince William and Miss Kate Middleton announced their engagement yesterday, with a wedding date set for April of 2011. However, such opportunities for playful musings should never be passed up. So, it is with weak pomp and circumstance that we ask a very important question this day: given Prez Obama’s history in the realm of royal gift-giving, what do you think the presidential couple will gift the royal newlyweds?

I’ll start off by saying the most obvious borderline useless, masquerading as a clever gift would be Prince Albert in a can.

Tacky, yet tasteless

Feel free to indulge in a bit of whimsy on this Thanksgiving Eve Open Thread!!!

Laying a Little Pipe Down…

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.

Update [ArmedGeek]: When I read the thing about the bottled fresh air, I couldn’t help but think of this:

Stockpiling Tobacco

ArmedGeek — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 06:00:18 +0000

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.

As jarred, this makes roughly 4 months worth of smoking. Suck it, cigar puffers.

What I’m 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.

If I’m going to be doing this much photography, I really need to set up a table for it.

New Pipe

ArmedGeek — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:45:02 +0000

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’ve added a new vice

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.
