    What's a good entry-level single malt?

    And then there's this, which I sincerely hope is a joke: http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2010-08/24/pissky

    Double breasted peacoats

    I recall something about being able to button either side depending on which way the wind was blowing, don't know if this is true but it makes sense, many exposed positions on a ship entail long periods of watch-standing and although I've never been in the Navy I have used the either-side...

    Excellent movies in the most difficult sub genre

    "What Did You Do in the War, Daddy" (1966) directed by Blake Edwards is one of my favorites, as is "The Secret of Santa Vittoria" (1969) directed by Stanley Kramer. "Catch-22" (1970) dir Mike Nichols is another one. For Home Front action, the film "Whiskey Galore" (1947) is a howler.

    The GREAT BRITISH DUFFEL COAT thread

    Dave, thanks for that info, that actually helps quite a bit,(though of course what "regular" meant in those days is still a mystery to me)...but at least it is a guideline. I'm still still searching online for an accurate chart, if I find one I'll post it, thanks again. mic

    The GREAT BRITISH DUFFEL COAT thread

    Wondering if someone could either explain or point out a link to explain the UK pre-nato sizing, too often on Ebay a military garment is just listed as size 9 for example and no measurements are given, it's vexing. I've asked guys in my pipe band who served in the UK and they don't even have a clue.

    The Herter`s Catalog

    Wonderful catalog, you could spend days going through it. I still have a 1972 edition, and a copy of "Herter's World Famous Professional Guides Manual". Nearly every product had a full description and most had a story to go along with it. Didn't do much fishing but sure spent a lot of time...

    Bow Ties

    I have a few diamond point self tie bow ties and have a question thats been vexing me for a while. Should the tie, after tying, be manipilulated so that both points are at the front, or should one side have the point behind the loop, the other side having the point in front. Does this make any...

    The Three Stooges - the Really Important Question!

    No idea. If you go to youtube and search 'los tres chiflados' you can see many of the dubbed shorts, it seems that they didn't have the same people dubbing the voices so there are many styles. I think some of the dubbers didn't even know who they were supposed to be emulating. I certainly didn't...

    The Three Stooges - the Really Important Question!

    There was a time in the mid-80's when the only Stooge fix I could get was on the local Spanish language TV channel, watching "Los Tres Chiflados". The voices were wrong but the gags still worked.

    The Three Stooges - the Really Important Question!

    Curly, Shemp and Curly Joe were all good in their individual ways, but I always though Larry was the funniest Stooge. He was the subtle one, if anyone of the Stooges could be called subtle.

    Bow Ties

    Edward beat me to it, I just recently got into freestyle bowties, and couldn't get the hang of it. Finally saw a video which said it's just like tying a shoelace, and to imagine your shoe on your neck. Presto, got it right away. Just bought a self-tie Kentucky colonel-type tie and spent a few...

    Kilts

    http://giftshop.scottishtartans.org/highland_wear.html run by Matt Newsome seems to be a good bet for a custom kilt.
