Reply #3: Cigar Aficionado? [View All]

[Dogmudgeon]

It's a good article, but Cigar Aficionado?

What do cigars have to do with Dan Rather being spun by GHWB?

I remember reading an old paperback where a bunch of songwriters were interviewed. The interviewer paid an inordinate amount of attention to the writers' smoking habits, in detail that he didn't put into the songwriting technique. The interview with Steve Allen was the best -- Allen was at first incredulous, then started with sly insults; when the interviewer persisted, Steverino nearly kicked him out of his house.

What next? "Alex Trebeck discusses The DaVinci Code in next month's Leather Lover" ... "Amber Tamblyn on God, spirituality, and her love of low-carb Kimchi in Spanking Enthusiast" ... "Is Whole Life or Term Life for you? Presidential advisor Dick Morris weighs in on this controversial issue in Toe Suckers' Digest"

Sorry, but there's something about smoking fetishism gives me the creeps.
