Hard to beat the mission statement from this seller....

"I was born a Texan and Raised a Redneck. We like everything bigger here in Texas. With that in mind, I intend to pass the biggest bargains, and the best savings, on to you - with deals that just can't be beat. That's the way it should be."

You know, there are some of us who have lived our entire lives in Texas without drinking moonshine, dipping chewing tabacco, banging a heifer (human or otherwise), saying "Yeeeehaw!", or wearing a ten gallon hat but you'd never guess it from this clown. Sheesh!

Sorry Mike, but being from Mississippi and living in Alabama we can only aspire to such greatness.  You guys are so lucky to have scored with heifers; we only ever had sows (and not the human kind.)

I've always been a bit puzzled by this "smoke-free" issue. My players have been smoking more or less everything in my house (mostly cigarettes, but definitely plenty of other things also), quite close to the books, but I definitely can't smell even the slightest hint of smoke from them. I wonder if this is a problem related to wooden houses so common in the US, since the smell of smoke tends to stick to wooden walls (that was the reason why the landlady of the house where I lived in CT used to smoke outside the house).

I think Americans by and large are much more sensitive to the smoking issue, as it's been outlawed in almost every public venue the last few years, and the rate of smokers has been going down accordingly. When I get a module owned by a smoker I can instantly tell, and it doesn't even take holding the book in front of my face.   I don't think it has much to do with wooden walls; I think the issue is just more connected to the amount of smokers vs non-smokers (and the sensitivity of the latter) between Euro and non-Euro gamers.

So what do they build the houses out of in Europe?  You guys still using mud and sticks or what?     I am very sensitive to smoke probably due to growing up in a home where both parents were heavy smokers.  I have also had a couple of roommates that smoked as well and I was never able to smell smoke on books, clothes, etc.  But now that I have lived in a smoke-free environment for a number of years, I can smell the slightest bit of smoke on just about anything.  And the "herbal" stuff?  I can smell those things a mile away.
