Long time, no type!  I'm finally finished with grad school and have moved from Miami to LA where I am gainfully employed like a big boy.  I'm loving my job, but it's got me busy as shit and I probably won't be able to see much of the first two rounds of the tournament, much less write my daily...

The report of my death was an exaggeration.  I've been busy as shit finishing up school, but finally the light at the end of the tunnel is in sight.  And I'm reasonably confident that it is not a train...   I hope everyone has been well, and I hope that my relative absence lately doesn't...

Same stakes as last year--2 sticks per entry, minimum MSRP of $7.50 each. There's another thread HERE for much higher stakes (10 stick at $5+ MSRP per entry) so check that out if that's more your style. If you've somehow become an asshat in the past year, please refrain from entering. Five...

I've got a bunch of Marlboro coupons that do me no good, so if they can save anyone some money, I'd be glad to pass them along. I've got 10-15 coupons for each style of product, ranging from free to $3 off. I don't want to deal with mailing one coupon to 30 different people, but I'm willing to...

I've got a bunch of Marlboro free/$1 off/$2 off coupons for both Marlboro cigarettes and snus, and I use neither. They expire 3/31, so I need to get those to someone who will use them ASAP. First person who smokes Marlboros and uses (or at least is interested in trying) their snus to post here...

I figured I'd wait for one of the more senior members to take the reins here, but it seems like nobody has, and time is of the essence. I went ahead and created a group. Entry fees will be two cigars with a combined MSRP over $15 total (i.e., two $7.50+ cigars, etc.). Since time is obviously...

I went up to Kennedy Space Center for the Discovery launch on Thursday and had a blast. Har har. I didn't want to experience my first (and likely last) shuttle launch fiddling with my camera, so I just put it into the highest resolution and set the burst mode for 1 picture every second for 10...

I've got a little Fantasy Nascar Yahoo league and I figured there might be some interest among CP'ers. Anyone is welcome to join, although I'd like to restrict wagering to people who have been active members of CP for at least 6 months. Basically, you pick eight drivers per week (two from the...

Assuming all goes according to plan, The Helper Monkey and I are going up to watch the space shuttle launch on Tuesday. We've got tickets to watch from the grounds at Kennedy Space Center, and are all set with a tour company to shuttle (haha) us from a remote parking lot to KSC via tour bus at...

The Cincinnati Reds are in some luke-warm (not hot) water for smoking victory cigars inside their lockerroom after clinching a spot in the playoffs. Looks like the owner was smoking an AF13 or possibly some sort of Liga Privada...

I was interested in finding more information about the delicious La Aroma de Cuba that I smoked yesterday, thinking that I might have read a review or some product information, reblending, or just general background on the marca some time within the last month or so. I tried searching for "La...

I've got a cousin deployed over in Afghanistan and I'm planning on sending him one of CI's "Herf 'n Go Combos" (click) to get him started on cigars. He's pretty shy and socially anxious to begin with, and he's doing something associated with radio communications during the overnight shift, so...

I imagine much of this will be pretty familiar to children of the '80s. Pretty funny. I wish they had somehow included a reference to the fact that so many people seemed to pronounce "Oregon" as if it rhymes with "polygon" but only within the context of this game's name--not anywhere else...

Hope this isn't too politically oriented. Liberty City is an extremely poor and predominantly black neighborhood (home to more than half the black residents of the county) in Miami. I've probably got a higher threshold of tolerance for litigation than most, but in my opinion, this is beyond...

There's a Greatest American Hero marathon on all day on SyFy (Channel 244 on DirecTV).

Saw this in the most recent issue of AutoWeek in their little "gift ideas for Father's Day" spread and figured I'd pass it along. It appears that there are two versions available--one Limited Edition, which, to the best of my knowledge, seems to amount to a $37 protective case for the book...

I had CP open in one of my FF (v. 3.6.3) tabs on my piece of crap, old, busted, crummy, and generally useless work computer when I locked my desktop and stepped away from my desk for a while. When I returned and unlocked it, I had a "Warning--unresponsive script" popup box. I elected to stop...

I thought most of you guys would get a kick out of this new health product for men. Click. Adult language and mildly crude humor. No nudity or anything visually inappropriate for the workplace, but you need to have sound to appreciate it and some of the dialogue is inappropriate for less...

I've got less than 12 pages left in the cigar journal that I've been keeping since I began smoking cigars. It's been a very useful tool for me as I started out on this little journey, helping me to chart my likes and dislikes, spot patterns and inconsistencies in my tastes, and generally hone...

In what should come as no great surprise to anybody, the $50 Vinotemp I bought off of ebay (the ones packed in inside out Guitar Hero boxes and covered with tape residue) is starting to crap out on me. I've been having this problem for about a week now. The top portion seems to be holding...
