"Battleship"
all at sea I thought that the 'investment risk' was considered too great in relation to capital input per tonnage unit (so to speak) since the advent of ATS/STS missile systems.?- dr greg

Ellroy's Aloha shirt - where to procure one?
Well, not quite, I have an original Reyn's shirt from the 50's which would have to qualify as classic, and full marks to the current label for working WITH instead of ripping off (like some Japanese labels I believe) the Shaheen family to keep some of their classic designs in circulation.- dr greg

Ellroy's Aloha shirt - where to procure one?
one of Dunno bout RS, looks like a Kamehameha design to me, possibly an original or maybe a SunSurf repro going by the buttons, but I find it hard to believe Ellroy would wear anything but the real thing....- dr greg

Bloody Mary Mix
bloody hell I'm sorry, how could one be in a position where one couldn't make one's own......I can't see it as a drink one would try and have for breakfast hiking through the wilderness for example....;) The ingredients are quite simple and should be in EVERYONE'S pantry surely?- dr greg

While researching the old film Fahrenheit 451 which showed on TV here recently, I discovered this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwebebahn_Wuppertal If I'd known about it I would definitely have checked it out on my several visits to Germany years ago...amazing stuff...we still can't get...- dr greg

Cop This
the dinkum oil Many posts ago the old neatsfoot controversy came up..I've got an old Oregon jacket here that's had many doses of it over the last 30 years..to no noticeable ill-effect, the pure oil from boiled down cattle has no chemical adds, so therefore can't hurt the jacket in my opinion...- dr greg

Cop This
It's Called Patina Well it's got a new zip, new authentic buttons, the foul dead smoker's stench removed, and several good coats of lanolin/beeswax/neatsfoot oil. I have absolutely no intention of reblacking it with raven oil, becuase then it would lose the patina which is completely...- dr greg

Suddenly it's suede :-(
Caveat emptor Would have fooled me, a question though, the setting of the cuffs with an inner ring for want of a better description, does that have a technical term? I have the same thing on an old Police jacket I've just fixed up- dr greg

Black Dynamite!
alright! Yes indeed, utterly hilarious, I must confess that I had to watch a pirate copy as it has no distribution in this country and none is on he horizon, but hopefully I can make up for it by totally recommending it as the funniest movie I've seen in a LONG time, so why don't y'all over...- dr greg

Bataan (1943 MGM pictures)
In Like An old man's memory ain't what it used to be, but I seem to recall that in his autobiography, he rationalised his avoidance by saying that no-one or country had done anything much for him so he didn't feel he owed allegiance to any particular side in the conflict..or words to that... -
Bataan (1943 MGM pictures)
Back fire Then again of course you have utter rubbish churned out as propaganda such as that dreadful blot on Errol Flynn's career, Objective Burma, which completely ignored the fact that Burma was primarily a British/Indian theatre, and made it look like a few Yanks saved the day there. The... -
The Island of Misfit Stetsons - factory rejects
indeed Who's to blame for that though, manufacturers not caring what they send out, or the consumer's corresponding lack of discernment, most people are more concerned with price than quality these days...it's a global mindset. -
Battle of the Bulge Reenactment - Big Lake, MN 19 DEC 09
