If you’ve ever wondered what to get the book lover who seemingly has everything, look no further.
What they need is a book candle.
Not a candle made of books, but a candle that smells like books.
Or so the makers would have you believe. “doesn’t smell a thing like old books. More like a fruity vanilla smell.”
But if you want to mess with a book lover and get their hopes up their house will fill up with that beautiful musty smell of books, grab this from Amazon.
Where do I get a candle that smells like a well used copy of Hustler?
I remember when I was a kid, some of my friends would discover and dig out a hidden stash of pr0n, known as ‘dirty magazines’ back in them days, hidden there by their father way back when he was apparently still young enough to fap. Anyway, that smell of old magazine paper. It almost because synonymous with fapping… err, I mean I’m asking for a friend.
EEUWW!
Open a can of tuna. Dump out said tuna. Fill with melted wax and a wick. After the wax solidifies, light candle.
$25 for a candle?
Sorry, I’m a fucking cheapskate.
Go to the Dollar tree and buy a Book! simple and Cheap
Oh, I have lots of old books.
Burn them?
I love the the smell of the pages of a new paperback.
I like new car smell. I honestly didn’t know a new paperback has a smell.
They do, and it’s distinctive.
They totally do. And it’s a good smell.
I can sit for hours smelling the books on my kindle.
That’s some euphemism.
Addiction is a bitch
My old books smell like accumulated cigarette smoke.
#metoo
I have a copy of Mein Kampf that positively reeks of cheap cigarette smoke despite the fact that it has been sitting out in my non-smoking home for well over a year.
Blame the Jews?
I used to get cigarette-smelling books at the library. I hate cigarette smoke, but I have such fond memories of paperback-plus-stale-cigarette-smoke books.
Well, shit. I’m back already.
She’s too sore for naked time…

I get that problem a lot. “You’re just a lot to take all at once,” she says. Then she takes some Tylenol for her headache and goes to bed.

We’re very good on finding time (for sexy time). I can respect this particular occurrence.
Just roll her over.

…do vegans eschew even non-edible animal products?
As I understand it, many do.
No.

Yes.
There was a whole thing about how Payless Shoe Source was 100% vegan footwear at some point, which then there was a whole thing about how not all of it was and then I sort of tuned it out, so I’d assume that at least some do.
Most of the vegans I know do. I do not give a fuck. I still wear leather.
I’m gonna burn these books mañana, not that I particularly dislike any of them, they are just taking up space and I can’t give ’em away so hey! Book Burning at The Hyperbole’s Place!!! BYOB. Nothing like a good old-fashioned book burning to start off the weekend.
BBQ at Hype’s place!
I either give my old books to the kids so they can sell them to the used bookstore or I’ll donate them to the library. If I can part with them. I’m somewhat of a book/magazine horder. And by somewhat I mean its ridicules.
The used bookstore doesn’t want them, The library has a book sale every other weekend and the stacks just keep getting bigger, I think that giving them more books is just adding to their workload. Sometimes there is a glut in the market and the only solution is to destroy the surplus, plus fire good!
Goodwill, and take the tax deduction.
^^^ This. *sigh*
OMWC is just as bad as I am, so every room in the house is overflowing with books.
It’s a big problem. I’m proud of myself for being down to just a dozen boxes of books.
I thought my roommate was going to flee the country and I’d have to move due to some weirdness on my landlord’s part…
I picked up (an ebook of) The Lifechanging Magic of Tidying up and got through the clothes and books section…even went to my parents and dug all the books out of the garage. I know it isn’t the right method for everyone (and I only got through the first few categories), but I’ll be damned if I’m not happier with my current collection of books than I was with the same books plus 4x the current amount.
I was heartbroken to find a bunch of books that my school-librarian grandmother had signed by authors and illustrators in the 60s-early 80s had been eaten by rats because I’d stored them (safely I thought) in the garage.
You are a better man than I am. I think I’ve managed to offload about a dozen books in the last year. That’s it.
Facing the grim reality of packing up my room and repacking all the stuff in the garage made it WAY easier. Shortly afterward my grandmother gave me a bunch of mid-century cookbooks, and my mother gave me Jonathan Cahn’s THE BOOK OF MYSTERIES, but I’ve mostly been good about keeping the weight off.
Hahahahaha.
You’ve been here. You can come help us when next we relocate, as we are wont to do. You have no sentimental attachment to any of our stuff. We never seem to really lose any of it from place to place.
I still haven’t been able to pin down a time to throw a bunch of my mom’s books away. I introduced her to putting things on an Amazon wishlist instead of buying everything Sean Hannity told her to. For the past few months she has been adding every book she found interesting to a wishlist instead of immediately buying it and only buying the one that seemed the most interesting when it was time for a new book.
At least the influx of books has been curtailed, but she has garbage books by garbage people that she’ll never read stuffed into every nook and cranny of their spacious home.
I’ve been in the same house for 24 years. I think when it’s time to move I’m just going to get some gasoline and a lighter.
Ancient Chinese secret, huh?
As embarrassing as it is, I have been Fighting a Bedbug infestation for the Last three months, with mixed Success, and While they Don’t like all the Alcohol in MY blood, The Wife is getting bit constantly at night, Fucking Gross! So She said, let’s rent a Steamer for the Beds etc. and I thought Rent? hmmmm
I bought this, https://ebay.com/itm/232836414837
The Home right Steam Machine, comes with a bunch of attachments, I watched a video of the thing in action and was Shocked, I say! Superheated Steam at 290 degrees is impressive and Dangerous, but I got stoves to clean, toilets to freshen, Wood floors to clean, and Kill of those nasty Bugs! Hoorah!
Wouldn’t it be cheaper to get your wife to drink so the bedbugs don’t like her blood either?
And save on the nose strips.
They don’t work on the Wife, she’s a Freight train at night……………
Snoring, not other half baked Euphemisms you Smartasses.
Oh, see, drinking always made me the snorer. Those nose strips were a godsend, apparently.
I might snore, but I can’t hear when I’m passed out, But I sleep very lightly and wake to the quietest noises
/Paranoid
Me too. I probably wake up a couple dozen times a night.
But muh Steam Machine! it’s cool! it’s a Tool! it’s a Toy!
And I despise Pests of all kinds, I have lived here for 6 years with No fleas, mosquitoes, or even ants, so the Bedbugs are horrid to me, can’t pay enough to killem all!
*shudder* There was supposedly an infestation in my building (which has 66 apartments) but the bedbug dog didn’t find any in my place thank God.
I’m with you there, it’s just disgusting, and the Fuckers are very good at hiding, But they will die eggs and all if they get hit with High heat,
So I’m going on a Weekend Rampage ‘O Steam, then we Bomb the House on Sunday.
I have purchased 4 sets of Bedding in the last three months, but I don’t care, I want them gone
At a previous workplace, we found a bedbug on a recently fired co-worker’s chair.
I came home that day and put my clothes straight in the dryer, put my shoes and coat outside in freezing temps, vacuumed every corner of my house, spread diatomaceous earth in every single nook and cranny, and set of bug bombs upstairs and downstairs.
I never had any signs of infestation, so they either never reached my house, or I killed them with those measures.
I dont want to ruin it, but at standard pressure, you cant get steam to 290º F.
In all fairness, I doubt that regular 212º steam is very healthy for them.
I said SuperHeat, it’s an A/C thing,
Learn about Superheat,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superheated_steam
Yes.
I work with utility boilers and I know the difference between “dry” steam and “saturated”. Im skeptical that that doodad is going to work as advertised.
You could also go to Dollar General, and buy half a dozen bottles of 90% IPA, attached a windex sprayer, and hose down the affected areas.
Obviously, you want solid ventilation and no open-flames.
Doesn’t get the eggs, I did that, and it does work, but it requires a Combination of treatments, done multiple times, up to 6 months unless you spend 1000s on a service.
Look up the Video on Lowes Website, I’m skeptical as Fuck, but this thing was pretty amazing for Household chores, I’ll definitely let you know how it works,
/TALL CANS!
Doggy Vizzle Televizzle!
Yes, my Dog is fine, how’s about you?
8 years ago we were living in an apartment and the stupid chick down the hall infected he whole damn place from her habit of picking up random furniture she found on the street. What finally got rid of them was super heating the apartment to 120 degrees. We also had to hot wash every fucking stitch of clothing and bedding that we had. Huge pain in the ass.
I’m getting better at Control, and it’s my belief that some steam in the corners of my Bedroom, My bed and Furniture, combined with DE and some bombs might do the trick
Fun fact- that’s also how you deal with mercury contamination
I wouldn’t trust a $30 gizmo with super-heated steam.
It was 120$, and I would, I deal with far worse Temp/Pressure on a daily basis, and this machine looks good in action, I’ll let you know
Can I just rub some of that on my Kindle? I mean it won’t make it slippery or anything?
You know who else was interested in old books?
No, Who?
Aleister Crowley?
Ash Williams?
The Freemasons ?
Hermione Granger?
19th century accountants?
Moses? No, that was stone tablets…
Ebenezer Scrooge?
Trying to work my way through this twitter feed. People are insane.
The only winning move is not to play.
Never connect to a network.
Why don’t people just live? and quit worrying about other opinions?
can’t they just say, FUCK OFF, SLAVER?
We know your game, Tulpa.
I kinda tune out the progressive bona fides. It’s like the opposite of yada yada from Seinfeld. No, I don’t care, nobody cares, not even the people pretending to care because they believe this shit is central to their cause. They’re going to convict you of whatever -ism is trendiest today, and I’m going to convict you of being a pod-person SJW appeaser. So fuck off already.
All the bona fides IMO, Conservatives are Bombastic, Mouthbreathing Fucksticks, some I’m sure, are good people. My business partner is that way, I just ignore it……

Ugh, not that shit again. I’ll say it again: normal people only eat bugs because they’re poor and there’s nothing better around.
If you’re eating bugs, your not normal, but you might be North Korean…………..
Well, at least someone in charge has some sense:
“Even when worms and bugs are technically permitted, it is commendable to make the effort not to consume them due to the concern of “baal teshaktzu”, the prohibition to engage in anything which might be considered disgusting.”

Up where Neph is, the overall elevation isnt stunning, but the variation from river-valley back up to grade can be pretty abrupt and cause some impressive inclines.
River? what is a River? you mean the Concrete drainage ditches throughout Socal? I have seen the Colorado and the Arkansas, but we don’t get any Rivers here………..
I’ve flown from CLE to LGA a few times recently and I’m always weirded out by the dramatic change in geography between Ohio and PA. It’s amazing how much of PA is just miles and miles of seemingly empty land with those weird snake-like mountains.
A river is a large amount of water that occasionally gets lit on fire. Of course, we also don’t have a problem with a water shortage here.

Summit County is where the current job is. One hell of a commute, but the pay is good.
And we have hills, here’s an example. Although I think our highest peak is only ~1,500 feet.
The bridge over the Cuyahoga on 271 would likely get the attention of Yufus. Same with the one on 71 down here over the Little Miami- 239′ over the river.
I’ve driven over both of those (the 271 bridge more times then I can count). And few things are as beautiful as riding along the Lake in the morning.

OMG I had a mini-fight with one of my Indian coworkers today – the usual worker-bee fight over AC where the ladies are all shivering in sweaters and the guys are all sweating and gasping for fresh air… well, this guy is like “I’m fine in 95 degrees” as he dials up the thermostat from 68 to 72 and I’m like “Well, I’m not. Why don’t you wear a sweater?” Mind you, we sit next to the windows that bear massive amounts of sunshine all day and setting thermostat to 72 really means it’s like 78.
/rant
That sucks. My brain needs to be cool to work properly.
I went from a 0 Degree commercial freezer to the out door condenser at 97 degrees today, I needed to go from Jacket and 3 layers to Sleeveless shirt just to walk outside, very uncomfortable, soggy and Cold, or Hot, I think I’m getting sick….
Slurpee or Casino indian?
Dot, Casino Indians are too drunk……
Slurpee. I’ve had fights with this guy before. I tried to defuse the situation by pointing out that I’m a pasty northern European and compromising at 70. We’ll see how that goes. This only becomes a problem during the rare nice summer days like today where it’s only like a high of 85 and low humidity. To be honest, I didn’t even feel any fucking AC and he’s like “I’m cold”. Well, bud, guess what? You have an easier solution to beating your defective temperature regulation that I do beating mine.
The worst part is that the center of the floor – where I used to sit before I got “promoted” to a window cube – is bathed by a delightful blast of glorious AC – and is now populated entirely by a new cohort of ladies in sweaters who constantly complain how cold it is.

No kidding, I lose my acuity after about 8 hours in the Heat, and if I can’t resolve the issue, i go home just to be safe. I’m getting too old for my profession i’m afraid, and i’m afraid it might Kill me……

I’m a total sucker for old books. I regularly go down to this used book store and pick up anything that is bound in cloth with yellowed pages. Fun fact: They used to manufacture books by printing on one gigantic sheet of paper, then folding it up in such a way that the pages would be in the correct order and orientation. Brand new books would have the pages stuck together, and you would have to cut them apart yourself. This is why old books have such irregular pages, not perfectly smooth like modern books. I’ve occasionally found an old book with pages in the very front or very back that were never cut.
My favorite old books are:
– A collection of May to December 1897 issues of The Chap Book, a literary magazine. It has short stories, poems, book reviews, and some very interesting full-page advertisements.
– An 1878 issue of The Atlantic that someone got me as a gift.
– A Short History of the World by H.G. Wells, printed in 1925.
– The Decameron by Bocaccio from 1931.
Oldest book I own is a maintenance Book for Aircraft from the 1930s, amazing too
I think my oldest book is Treasure Island from the late 19th Century.
Cool!, I love books, keep it as a treasure
Total book junkie. I have quite a few very old books, including some first editions from the 19th century.
I love my digital books and being able to take 1000 books with me everywhere I go, but I won’t ever give up my print books.
I gotta be honest – other than some freebies I got via TOS, I haven’t added a real book to my shelves in at least a decade. I still treasure my modest collection of old books – a disappointingly large number of which have disappeared after many moves – but I generally prefer the digital variety these days.
I have about 3000 E books and 3000 Paper books, they are all treasures,
Yes, I rarely add a new print book. But I add dozens of non-space-hogging digital books every month.
I am still missing a box of older cookbooks from when we relocated last. Highly annoying. But at least my grandmother’s cookbooks all seem to be accounted for.
Just set up my Fire TV. Turning off Comcast. Damn, I don’t really watch TV. Apparently, Travel Channel and History Channel are now the Science version of CNN, crikey, WTF?
I’m not saying it’s aliens.
I think it was actually the Travel Channel. Anyway, I’m thinking these guys are on a serious expedition and I paused, cause I freaking love science you know. And then they start talking about the drivers assuredly impeccable credentials. As a… Cryptozoologist… ummm, yeah, ok. What do they call those ghost hunters? They have to all share a common classification of scientists who have never found even one example of what they are looking for. When’s Bill Nye getting his own channel?
My problem with books, going back to when I was young, but it is more of a problem now. I don’t have a good memory and I lose place of where I am. So end up rereading the same page several times before it gets in my head. I don’t have a good memory and I lose place of where I am.

I quit Drinking, Now,
https://youtube.com/watch?v=NelIXCuuSZ0
Still eat like a Pig though,
I’m not what you would call an Alcoholic, but I drink too much beer, I have quit several times for several Years, but Damn , I like Beer.
when I’m off the Sauce, I feel great, and save a hundred or so in Cash per week, and do other cool stuff with my money, but Dammit! I like Beer!
/1st World problems…………..
An alcoholic is an addict that needs the alcohol to function, a drunk is someone who likes to drink but doesn’t get the DTs when they don’t.
TY! Work first, Beer later, always
Yeah, so do I. The worst thing is that I need to cut down some to control my weight.
Horseshit. None of those people that do moderation are able to do moderation because they want to. They do moderation because they can’t not do it. You know what I’m saying? If they drink 3 beers, they will puke all over themselves after making a totes fool of themselves, and lie down in it. It’s always us non-light weights who get a bad rap, always.
I found this out early on when I first starting social drinking. Had a friend, he brought over an 8 pack of beers. Yes, there were 8 packs back then. I don’t know why, don’t ask me, there were. Anyways, we were just cooking on my grill, chillin, talking, you know, the typical shit. And the next thing I know the dude looks all pissed off and hurt and he’s like ‘Dude, there’s not any more beer!’. And I was like … ‘Um, ok, what do you want to do?’. So he’s like ‘Dude, I only had 2 beers!, you drank 6!’. And I’m saying ‘Umm, are you sure? I wasn’t keeping count.’. Man, the dude had a hissy fit, I drank all his beer. Well, we were like 20 miles from the nearest liquor store and it was pretty late.
Cut to the chase. I offered to buy an 8 pack next day, Saturday. So he agrees, comes over and says ‘You’re not getting all the beer this time! I’ll show you!’. So I said ‘Ok man, chill, not a problem’. Basically, I had had one beer, which for me is like 20 minutes? Next thing I know, I haven’t seen the guy for like a half hour and I’m asking my ex GF, where the hell is the guy, did you see him? So no one has seen him and I go looking. I went outside and I heard this horrid sound and following it, I found the guy laying face down behind my house puking up his guts. 7 beers in less than one hour and poor guy didn’t have the fortitude for that.
I’ve had several drinking buddies go Eight Stepping. But the drinking was never their problem, they would always try to use other drugs while drinking and I’d have to baby sit them. Even things as trivial as one guy who took benedryl while he was drinking, because he didn’t want to drink, he wanted to get fucked up.
Benedryl? That won’t get you fucked up, but it will make you go to sleep.
Not sure what eight stepping is, but when I was younger I did some pretty crazy shit when drinking. Fortunately, I never hurt anyone or myself. Except for about a 7 inch scar across my left ass cheek, lol. Had to explain that to my wife. I guess that happens when you’re young, full of piss and vinegar, and have a very high tolerance to alcohol. I can laugh about it now, since I’m still alive.
I meant Twelve Stepping, I’m drunk. But no, this guy would take the benadryl and then get fucked up, then pass out on his way to bed. Like I said, he was more into getting fucked up than drinking; which was a problem and he did get help, but unfortunately he blamed his problems on the alcohol, not his real problems, but the twelve steppin sure made him self righteous.
I was just thinking today about how much better Penn looked when he was ‘fat.’
But I guess at his age health is more important. 🙂
OMFG, I just wrote this half article size comment that I’ll never have the eloquence to say again and while was doing it I got logged off and it is now lost to the aether. Fuckin hell.
that happened to me Tonight, but Since I’m drunk thought I was stupid……..
That’s why if you’re stoned, drunk, or both, and about to write the greatest comment of your career, you write it in wordpad and save often before posting it. Brings back the good ol days. I used to make up the greatest guitar riffs ever known in history and then the next morning… I couldn’t remember them. Which is why I bought a tape recorder. And then of all luck, it never happened again. I hate how that happens.
Well, to be fair, it started out as a simple rant about how Dan Patrick was talking about CTE today, so I didn’t think it was going to go anywhere; but it wrapped in neatly with all the ‘Denier’ claims people make when they’re arguing from feels. Meh, at least the squirrels got to read it.
L.A. Goodnight!

Florida Clam?
I for one, am just glad we’re going after the real bad guys these days, finally I can sleep at night.
No qualified immunity for you! /(soup)Nazi
Do they have a candle with a ditto machine scent?
Did you say Dido?
This exactly like late night Glibs.
Anyone else see the video where Rand Paul totally punked Wolf Blitzer? My god, that was brutal. Poor Wolfie is probably back at his place now eating doggie bones and crying in the toilet, while drinking from it.
Linky?
Wolfie Poo!
Sorry, that wasn’t the entire interview, you can find it, but it’s just more of a hysterical lefty trying to create a narrative and force it to be reality, while the only sane voice present, wastes their time on idiots.
There were some weird edits in that video. But my lard, Rand is playing this brilliantly. Can we come out of this with the most libertarian Senator having Trump’s ear? Plus, this whole thing is a great Hat and Hair episode in the making, I’ve got a great plot, just need to find the time to get the audio cuts and make the cartoon.
Rand has had a good portion of Trump’s ear all along, Thank gawd. I hope it continues.
Watch the entire thing, Rand is brilliant and makes Wolfe look like an over excited toddler.
Hah, he even cites TDS! Which Glib do you think he is?
John.
OMG it’s Diego!
But I noticed recently that TDS is a mainstream term. Has this long been the case?
Yesterday I had a Chinese woman in her mid sixties as a customer. She had a swastika necklace and so I assumed she was Buddhist. I worked on the gate and electric issue and when I finished she started talking about Falun Gong and how many terrible things the communists had done to them. I have a number of Chinese customers but they generally avoid Politics. She was not happy that she sees people accepting socialism as something appealing here. I had always seen the protests of the elderly Falun people at the Chinese embassy on Geary, but never really looked into it. The democide is a rough thing.
I hope you told her that wasn’t real socialism!!

Real socialism means never having to say sorry.
We check out from the resort this morning. I’m looking forward to stopping here on the way home https://www.lvsclays.com to break some clays.
We’ve never been there, but I’ve heard good things.
