Forget who? :p . . . J/K -- just trying to get my post-count up :D Misc <-- Leebo wannabe :0

It's been warm -- skip the yurt. I'll just sleep right under the mailbox :D Ok, just to remind me... This is the pass where we take out 2 cigars, replace with an equal weight of beetles from Tony's pass, then send it back to the guy who sent it to us, right? :lookup: . . . . . ...

All right all you newbies, listen up! (Hey, I've been here since May, SOMEONE must be a newbie, compared to me... :D) Cigar generosity story: Got home, today, and there was a USPS box with a DC # on it. Return address from someone I've never heard of. Open it up, there's some bubble wrap...

Well, you got the important one right -- that's what counts! :D Lunacy! Complete lunacy! Next thing you know, there'll be dancing in the streets! This man must be stopped -- someone hand him a cigar! :) Seriously, though -- thanks! It took me a while to find this thread, or even to...

Yeah, I kind-a figured most cigar smokers were BSers at heart, so that might be a fun pass. I'm running one, now, and in another, so this one will have to wait a bit. Perhaps by next month. Btw, I notice there are no new open passes. That's a shame -- someone should do something about that...

In another pass, I said that I was going to set up a yurt near the mailbox to wait for the pass. This pass is headed my way, but it might be a day or two. Yurts aren't typically luxury accomodations -- I thought I'd upgrade mine, so that doing the pee-pee dance didn't cause any permanent...

Did I miss a post? Did the box go out, yesterday (Monday)? Not trying to rush anyone -- I know Matalo's got things on his mind -- just curious. Thanks!

I want Wade in one of MY passes! :D Nicely done, sir. You are an example to us all.

Two things: Thing 1: Zip locks are imperfect moisture barriers. They're pretty good, but they're not perfect. For our purposes (a few weeks in the mail), moisture content of cigars doesn't change much in the zip-bags. (This is why cello is left open on one end, btw.) Thing 2...

Gonna have to add some services to the yurt, if it doesn't get here soon... Let's see, I'll need a deck to smoke on, a fridge is probably a good idea, "facilities" (or I could just use the edge of the deck)... I wonder if you need permits for this sort of thing :D

Have your people contact my people -- we'll "do lunch" :D

Recipe update: * Wife & I don't like oysters, so we substituted scallops * I'm not big on bell peppers, so I halved the amount. * Crabs aren't in season here, yet, so we could only get 2 AL-king-crab-legs (for $10!), and peel 'em. Crab-meat is good, so that was a loss. Made up with more...

I lost the DC #, too. But the box got here, cigars and all. :) Thanks!

Not to toot my own horn (twice in one day! :D), but I have a rather nice post about packing cigars in the "how to join a pass" thread under "open passes." It's not too long, and shouldn't take but a moment to read. Short version: pack them so that there is NO MOVEMENT when you shake it around...

FYI, for all you new guys (and maybe some old guys ;)), There's a thread in Open-Passes "How to join a pass", which contains a post by me about how to pack cigars. The #1 thing is: pack them to NOT MOVE AROUND. Details are in the post -- it's not very long and shouldn't take but a minute or...

This was one of those complicated passes, right? So, is the idea that I remove 2-5 beetles that look tasty, and then replace with an equal or greater number of same or higher quality beetles? Then the whole thing goes backwards, right? Ok, ok -- Tony's probably passing bricks, right about...

Recipe questions: * The wife (and I, to a lesser extent) is not very hot on oysters, so we're planning to substitute scallops. See any reason not to? * The recipe has a bunch of prep, then finishes with "boil 15 min, simmer 10 min, add [seafood], return to boil, remove from heat and serve...

Hoody-hoo! "Almost here..." :D

Hey, that reminds me of two ideas I have for future passes (no stealing! :)) One is the "liar's pass" -- it works just like a regular pass, except that everyone is obligated to make up the tallest tale they can about what happened to the box, what they took, what they put, what happened on the...

Hey, PB -- it ain't over, yet! Quick, send me your snaily, we'll try to work you in. Misc <-- willing to flex a little, for a good story :)
