    China Patterns

    Scot, I both agree and demure. Personally, I make a distinction from the very early Deco and the later stuff when the streamlining thing etc came in. The Nouveau/A&C cross pollination is often obvious, but in some of the early AD, there is a definite influence of Nouveau, to my eye at least. On...

    The season is on....

    They're here for such a short time. I've always thought there was some kind of message in that, don't know what it is exactly, but I sure try and pay attention to my cur Annie each and every day. Yesterday we came home with seven grouse and a nice little fork Mulie. She so loves it all. It gives...

    Anybody got a thunderbird lighter?

    Thanks Gents. I think I'll probably try one, just the insert to put in my Zippo case. I really like Zippos but they ruin the taste of pipe tobacco. This might be the best of both worlds. They're cheap enough to give them a go and see what's what.

    Anybody got a thunderbird lighter?

    Hey, the guy I get my pipes from is advertising a butane lighter called the Thunderbird made by a company called Vector. They are specifically meant for cigars and pipes and they look exactly like a Zippo and the insert will fit a real Zippo case. They are very inexpensive, but advertised as...

    What pens are we carrying today?

    Green marble Esterbook lever fill loaded with Noodler's Kiowa Pecan. My everyday instrument for several years now. Lots of compliments on it. Amazing how many folks have never even seen a fountain pen.

    Should you by chance ever run into a pair of those with 36" waist, PM me por favor. I'm fairly salivating.

    new pipe smoker with questions.

    Deepest condolences, randooch. I make damn sure not to inhale and always have a wee fan going when indoors, even in winter. I also try to keep it at three to four bowls a day.

    Wifebeaters?

    Thanks Gents. So far, I will go for Singlet in UK and A Shirt for the US. Now, Oz and Europe please? Either of those sure beats:eusa_doh: wifebeater.

    new pipe smoker with questions.

    There's lots to learn about pipe smoking, and it will probably take you a couple of years before you figure out what's what. My advice to any new pipe smoker is to start with a corn cob and several different burley blends. Cobs smoke cool and dry from the start, take no break in, are very...

    Wifebeaters?

    I wonder if someone would take pity on my rather provincial grasp of such things, but provide a list of what this type of undergarment is called in each major geographic location? Ie. Europe, England, US., Canada, Oz, NZ and whichever other local is appropriate? The term 'wifebeaters' just gags...

    Show us your Guns!

    Me too. I can see it might seem strange to some folks but I'm a pacifist Quaker type feller and I've been crazy about firearms as hunting tools and examples of ingenuity, craftsmanship and tradition since I got my first BB gun at six years old. Too bad the only exposure to guns most people get...

    Wifebeaters?

    I believe it was shortly after I joined FL a couple of years ago that the topic of this type of garment was discussed. One poster claimed that worn year-round under a shirt they were cooler in summer and warmer in winter. I tried it and found this counter-intuitive bit of wisdom to be true...

    The $77 A-Shirt

    The A shirt I'm wearing now sells two for $12. Can't see any difference with the one pictured. Who has so much money that they'd pay $75 for an undershirt? You'd have to be on drugs or something. Crikey.
