    I love the Fed IV!!

    So did I, but you'll have to wait until after Christmas to see how one looks that way... :D -Dave

    To actually EXPERIENCE the era....

    Ostensibly, I think we're discussing car coats and other driving apparel. To be honest, unless I'm the OP, I never pay much attention to what "room" a thread is in. I find most of them by searches and under the "new posts" button. I enjoyed the pun, however. -Dave

    To actually EXPERIENCE the era....

    It could be an eight versus six thing. It could also be an airflow thing. The small, stylish grille on the Mustang could impede airflow to the point that the sportier car runs hotter. -Dave

    To actually EXPERIENCE the era....

    Every time I start my Falcon these days I think about this post. You don’t find too many discussions about running the heater on a vintage car! She starts right up, thankfully, but never really gets warm. I just switched to a 195 degree thermostat (from 160!, brr), so now the gauge...

    For almost a year now, I’ve carried this Custom Hide U.S. Army 1945 briefcase: I bought it at the recommendation of fellow Loungers and have no regrets thus far. I enjoy the sense of connectedness to some of the great lawyers of the past (Justice Jackson at Nuremberg, perhaps?). -Dave

    I just requested the first (I think) Ephraim Tutt story through Interlibrary Loan: Tutt and Mr. Tutt, from 1919. I’m excited to read it. I just hope it arrives more quickly than the last ILL request I made. It took three months to arrive and then I wasn’t able to come pick it up before my...

    Who Would You Have Liked to See in the Role?

    Art Deco space ships would be great. Or just reset the whole thing in an alternate mid-1930s Earth. -Dave

    You don’t care much for the concept of Federalism, do you Eph? I do like the idea of being able to go wherever the economic winds might take me, but I’ve seen firsthand how the slow erosion of Federalism has taken its toll on many states. I’m no Confederate, but I do get a bit frustrated when...

    The ethical problem, as I understand it, arises in the context of the honesty of a lawyer's communications with the public: Law, unlike medicine, has no specialties, so it is disingenuous to say one specializes in an area. One may be certified, if a certification is available, or one may...

    Welcome! This brings up an interesting point. The ABA model ethics rules don't really allow for specialization (at least by name). Is such not the case in Australia? I think all the US states follow the ABA rule in this respect. -Dave

    I think that's their subtle way of saying "no thanks, we have enough.". I seem to recall that they are pretty eager to disbar attorneys in California, too. Good luck with their bar, you'll be taking it with a law school friend of mine. I'm curious to know what the third part of the test is...

    Wow, I'm impressed by the art in this thread. I wish I could draw/manipulate computers like you guys. It would be a good outlet for my creative energies. -Dave

    Show us your vintage home!

    Yes, I think of painted wood as a sort of machine-age aesthetic. People were very excited about industry and the consumer goods it produced, and organic materials like wood just seemed old fashioned. How best to modernize them? Paint ‘em so they look like plastic, steel, and ceramic - the...

    Whiskey! Preferably something from Tennesee or a good Kentucky bourbon. -Dave

    Who Would You Have Liked to See in the Role?

    I think the simple answer was that he didn't have to. Most noir were B pictures (the era equivalent of made-for-tv or straight-to-video), and Gable was a superstar. -Dave PS. But I agree, he'd have been great at it.

    The Hardy Boys: Secret of the Old Mill

    Well, I certainly hope to find a plot involving rocket weapons in the twenties, but that’s not what I expect given that the U.S. military barely developed tanks and airplanes between the end of the Great War and the buildup to WWII. I really think the rocket plot was added in a Cold War...

    The Hardy Boys: Secret of the Old Mill

    I knew someone was going to bring up Goddard, but I really don't believe that in Billy Mitchell's era there were serious defense applications being considered for rockets. Besides, who would be the spies, Weimar Germans? -Dave

    The Hardy Boys: Secret of the Old Mill

    Apologies if this should go elsewhere, we’ve got a radio and a movie theatre in this joint, but no library! I grew up reading the 1959-revised Hardy Boys novels (and to a lesser extent the Casefiles books, but I found those less appealing). I’ve always had an interest in the original books...
