I am not a man of lofty goals, but I would love one day to vape Boba Tea at the Ahlusion Cafe while drinking a Boba Tea at the Ahlusion Cafe.
That looks like a plan to me!

Thanks Biz- but I better force myself to stop typing that stuff anyway- haha!

Oh gosh- I forgot to say THANK YOU for posting the GOT Dec 16th - whooo hoooo! Hubby has read the entire series- but not me - so Im excited I had no idea it was in a couple of weeks!
Dont throw a stick at me - but I have been disappointed by Boardwalk this season - and SHHHHHH I tivo'd last night's episode so no spoilers - but up until Owen the previous week..... kind of slow for Boardwalk Empire - anyone else agree?
Television is telling much more interesting stories than movies nowadays IMHO. Game of Thrones,Boardwalk Empire, Boss, The Borgias, Breaking Bad, The Wire, Deadwood....
). The Wire and Deadwood are permanently locked in a dead-heat for my two second favorite TV shows of all time. My favorite? Battlestar Galactica (early 2000s version, not the late 70s original), hands down! Judge if you like; I wear it proudly! Of course I'm not counting Arrested Development, which is in a class of its own. You wouldn't believe my justification for the ProV. I've ordered 4 Caravela's (COME ON! They make FOUR finishes, and I couldn't decide) and since they use the 18XXX batteries, the Ego's weren't going to work out for all the traveling I do, what with different chargers and all. Sounded good to me when I thought it up. On the other end, it sounded a bit like this:I didn't quit smoking to save money, I did it to save my life. So there. yeah.
Good God, man! Suddenly I feel a lot better about my recent equipment-buying spree! That's got to be one of the awesomest (probably not a word but it should be) things I've ever read on ECF!
But my God they're gorgeous. And you don't have to pay till they start actually making yours...
OK, I'm weak. In a couple of months, they'll be producing the numbered, limited Damascus Steel ones. I'm in deeep trouble.I think it had a slow start -- so much so that I almost gave up on it altogether, but it's picked up considerably in the last few episodes.

Oh believe me, they have it ALL figured out. First you get on the list and you have to wait and wait. So you've made your choices, and next, you see awesome pictures of the configuration you DIDN'T order. The parts are all interchangeable so you can do shiny brass tube with shiny stainless bits, or brushed brass with shiny bits, or brushed stainless with brushed bits....16 possible combinations! And 3 tube lengths for 48 variations! They're adult Lego's!
They're VERY kind about accepting changes and additions to the order. (honestly, Ko4ik and Pedro are genuinely awesome folks) and next thing you know, you're adding this, and changing that. So you think you're all set, and you're waiting... and somebody throws up yet ANOTHER awesome combination of finishes. It just doesn't end. Finally, I was just, hell with it. Get em all and make whatever. On the plus side, only two are coming now and the other two are going to take months. They'll probably figure out more finishes in the meantime.But my God they're gorgeous. And you don't have to pay till they start actually making yours...

Oh no -- not Damascus steel!!! I'm a huge sucker for that stuff... That will be one sweet-looking mod! I think I can relate to your Caravela woes, because I've been experiencing something very similar with GG products lately. Base mod isn't cheap, but then there are dozens of tank systems, upgrades, and interchangeable parts. And of course this stuff is never available so you end up hitting "refresh" on the classifieds every 2 minutes and signing up to be notified when in stock everywhere that sells them. Then you start to get anxious when you're unable to check your email for more than a few hours. When you check your inbox and there are no notifications, you check your spam folder just in case, and end up visiting the sites compulsively because you don't have 100% faith that you will in fact be notified.
When Galactica was on, I used to tell everybody that it was hands down the best show on Tv but I don't think many of them gave it a chance. Love Boardwalk but it took some getting used to once James Dormody was no longer in the picture. Love Arrested Development and LOVE that everyone got back together to film another season...hurry up Spring of 2013.
I've never watched The Wire or Deadwood so it sounds like I might have a couple new shows to try out.

I'm so glad I don't have the gadget compulsion.
(It's bad enough wanting to try ALL THE JUICE.)

oh, i was once like you... Treat mouiex and me as cautionary tales! My best advice would be to not get certified in the classifieds if you aren't already. That was the beginning of the end for me!

Can't wait for the new Arrested Development!!! I've been skeptical since I first heard the rumors, but it sounds like it's a done deal! I think a lot of people would really love Battlestar, but sadly probably wouldn't ever watch it just because it's sci-fi. Their loss, I guess. Based on your excellent taste in television programming, I can say with near certainty that you'll love Deadwood and The Wire. I'm not big into detective dramas, but The Wire totally blew me away and at some point you can't even classify it as such. I do enjoy westerns, but Deadwood completely reinvented the genre for the better (unless you count Sergio Leone westerns).
Got my Jazz Cartopipe today, by the way, but I haven't put it through its paces yet.

I heard Fonzie being interviewed about a month ago for something else that he was filming but the whole time he kept drifting back to the Arrested Development episode they had just shot. That was the first time that I believed the "new episodes" rumors.
And yes, I know that he has a real name but he will always be The Fonz!
I haven't tried a tobacco juice in a couple of years. I gave up the search after quite a few bad ones that reminded me of burning plastic more than tobacco. Due to Mann's generousity I'm about to see to see the progress that has been made during my hiatus. Something tells me that if my Ahlusion orders start switching over to tobaccos, a pipe might be in my near future. Seems like a natural fit...at least that's how I'll justify the purchase.![]()
I have to admit, Tez has caught it BAD. I haven't resorted to rummaging my spam folders yet.![]()
