I'll take them off your hands TRANC sorry it's not for you but glad you gave it a chance. I just got back from smoking a stick. I'm just trying as many as I can that are in my budget. the days of smoking >$15 sticks are over. I still have a slight buzz from the nicotine. It's great...

Yes, please show them the whole story. this is a sad part of America's history and it really wasn't that long ago. Yes, America's history, I'm not talking about slavery in other countries or apartheid in S. Africa. seeing that your from the US. but really 12 would be a better age for them...

my bro in law brought back an Opinel No. 9 from France. again, like most new knife purchases, I cut myself. Last time my brother brought back a cheap stiletto, I think he brought back a dozen or so. this was pre-TSA.

so they really do stick to this tactic thinking it will work? even when it's truly not the right person. I don't have any suggestions since I just don't answer my phone. Can you please keep us updated and what you did to finally get them to believe you that you're not the right person? good luck.

I'll join you for a nice slice at Patsy's in East Harlem. First Avenue and 117th street. I can't believe I've worked in that area for so long and haven't discovered that one of the best pizza places is in El Bario. don't worry it's a safe neighborhood. the only place that sells coal oven...

I'm impressed, like the poster above some people and forums take their pizza too seriously. I like that a few mentioned their local pizza place. I don't even know the name of mine, it's just the one on 9th ave and 53rd. just your ordinary great local pizza guy who's friendly, asks how ya doin...

Let's hope The Hurt Locker get's a distributor now. then we'll get more people who want their money back. sorry, but I don't think the hurt locker should have won. Now I know why people really wanted inglourius basterds to win. that actually looks very good to me now. at least they won...

yeah, I've seen a ghost, it's jobs in this economy. My mother is from the old school superstition folk lore era, let's put it this way, she put a silver coin in some soup to cure her coughing. only it was lung cancer. she showed me the dark coin thinking it would cure her. so her belief...

I keep on thinking about selling my 2 units but I can't. I've paid $50 for both, a sony n510 and a sharp MS721, haven't even used the Sharp for live recording yet. It's minidiscs that got me into DIY binaural mics, battery boxes and Live recordings. I love the looks of the older non-sony...

I tried to like it and gave it many chances, when the L word was on before it. still love the L word.

oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that beerguy. what a sweet sweet cat I know your family loved him a lot. and brought love to the family.

I love these posts, I get to see who the a-holes are, just like the good old days. very interesting.

this turned ugly fast. I too want to know what our brothers outside the US think, they don't seem to contribute as much. I value their opinions. anyway to the OP, do you have any friends from abroad? I have relatives (just In-laws really) from Stockholm and it's really expensive there but...

don't like rosie o'donnell either with her "ching chong, bing bong" joke.

I'm too old for Conan and not old enough for Leno. I remember seeing Leno at The Bottom Line in the village when I was 17 or 18, he did a great clean set. back then it was much easier getting into clubs and bars if you're underaged. I don't think I was ID'ed once. (and the drinking age was 18)...

I was hoping for a cat for Christmas but my brother couldn't make it up. he just adopted a bi-color Persian who's so sweet. He slept right next to me when I was down there for Thanksgiving, No cat breath! He was an abandoned cat in either an evicted home or a foreclosed home. neglected, his...

I had it 2 weeks ago, not knowing their ad campaign. first thing I've noticed carrying it out was boy that's a lot of garlic. I like it. the sauce is less tangy but they may have overdid it with the herbs. yes, I know NYC has some of the best pizza places in the world but how many have a...

ride safe and congratulations. I too spent the thanksgiving holiday riding. It was fun doing it again not as a youngster but a middle aged guy. My bro has a kawasaki vulcan 1500 nomad and it rode great. we are not cruiser guys but it was a lot of fun. and, I'm a lil guy and I felt safe and in...

I feel your pain. I live next to two tiny yapping dogs. you know the tiny ones that fit into a handbag. anyway, there's a clause in our lease that states excessive noise as a condition. and boy does our management company enforce it. I had my neighbor on the other side complain about my...

never had my ID scanned for anything yet, no thanks, target. The house organic beer at Whole Foods is very good. 5.99 a six pack. all they did was ask for my birth date.

why would I want to smell my cell phone? much less, smell it today and smell it again 2 weeks later?

Yes, quite often when I was young, there's still a few live poultry stores in NYC. yes, it tastes better than the processed stuff in the market if you've ever drove through Maryland and smelled something that's the Perdue farm. now could I tell the difference between same day kill and 2...

My price range has been around $15 for a pack of 5 from JR cigars on 5th ave. the la aurora robustos were nice at that price. the wrapper aroma was lovely, hints of mocha, dark chocolate but smoking it was different. it was very mild, no harsh spicyness but very close to almost no flavor...

Had my first really unsmokable cigiar, a Belinda Epicure. bitter, bitter, bitter. I smoke on straight out of the pack and let the rest mellow for a week. still bad. the wrapper aroma smells mild, along with the light brown color. terrible. on to the next cheap 5 pack.
