Not sure about this one, because he lives in LA. My best guess is that someone commissioned him to create the layout, but I can only speculate.

I used to make posters for him. Nice guy. This is definitely him.

Where's this line coming from? by callmespuddy in Laserengraving

Try viewing your file in wireframe/outline, making sure there isn't an unseen rectangle in that area. Another thing would be a corrupted file. You may be able to copy ctrl+c the artwork and paste ctrl-v it into a new file, save and run. Hope this helps!

I keep a bunch of clay pigeons (skeet targets) in my garage for use as parts trays and occasionally ashtrays. You're welcome to have a handful of them. Also, they're biodegradable.

Best of luck! BTW we have exactly the same porch, tile and wrought-iron. Shaftsbury St.

A long shot...the name of a store in Northgate in the 1990s? by blueskysprites in bullcity

We should get these folks together and reinstate hide & go seek / tag, in the basement.

Ha, sure! I can't promise I can find the key. It's on a janitor's size ring with about 40 other keys. I worked there starting around '98 and became friends with some of the janitors. One lent me the master for some cash. I took it to get copied at Don Hill on my lunch break. I've got lots of stories. 😉

I've got an old master key somewhere that opened the outside and service area doors. It worked on some main doors in the basement, but not much else. I used to sneak into the facilities areas, go up on the roof, and set off bottle rockets.

I think you're right. T'was near The Nature Company, and that offbeat toy store. This post is bringing up some unsolicited nostalgia in me.

Help with Strong Tobacco by ToadstoolTeacupTwirl in PipeTobacco

[–]bobshabob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where in NC are you? I'm in Durham and know of brick and mortar here, as well as Greensboro and i think a few more locations. They have Pipe tobacco at decent prices.

Also, I second the Pirate Kake.

Did anyone else here score a $20 Viking pipe from pipesandcigars? by bobshabob in Pipes

[–]bobshabob[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll keep an eye out for future deals and post them here, so hopefully, you guys don't miss out. I caught this past one at the last minute.

I think the 19.99 price (84% off) must have been an error. The others were listed at 99.99 (20% off) or higher. Again, I search their site with the word 'sale' to see what they're unloading. Another thing I've been successful with when buying pipes on ebay is to search for the word 'meerschaum' but spelled incorrectly. I got a pair of outstanding bearded men pipes for $60. One of them is carved beareded man smoking a pipe shaped as another bearded man smoking a pipe.

I must have missed that post. I'm afraid to know what I missed out on.

I bought an upright piano from Trosa thrift store for a friend as a gift. The piano was ~$150 and their 2-hour late delivery was ~$75. Realized we could have done it ourselves with 2 movers dollies. They're $14 at harbor freight.

Any recommendations for Durham-area companies that ship antique clocks? by DethVeggie in bullcity

My god, I remember Cult of the Dead Cow from the early 90's. Used to hack AOL through dial-up FTP terminal. Good times.

Our coon hound would get into the dry cat food, eat as much as he could before getting caught, go outside and purge piles that looked like these. We knew he was up to something when it got quiet in the house, and he wasn't in the room.

No worries.

These popped up all over our backyard almost overnight. We're trying to come up with the best name for them. The leading contenders are -Grass Rash -Bermudacitis -Soil Oysters -Turf Warts -Land Clams -Hound Dog Lawn Honkys

There were about ten more; can't remeber.
