    I have no idea what a "hashy", a "tashy", or a "nashy" is. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Yes, in that movie Bellamy played FDR and Garson played Eleanor.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I've lived in North America for 62 years, and in all of that time I've met ONE woman named "Candy", though it would be more accurate to say she was nicknamed "Candy" and her name was probably "Candida", or "Candita", or something similar.

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Okay, time to queue up the visual aids. My Campdrafts on top, my Fed IVs below: To my eyes the Campdraft crowns are slightly more tapered than the Fed IVs, but you all can decide for yourselves.

    Show us their hats!

    Nice! In 1997 it became necessary to have the chimney of our house inspected for safety; this being southern California, the various earthquakes over the years have caused a lot of damage and, in this area, specifically brick chimneys as so many of them collapsed during the "Whittier Narrows"...

    Blade Runner - The Final Cut

    Based on how they're presented in the movie, I'm pretty sure TYRELL Corp. is intended to be one of those corporations that is "too big" to be concerned with the costs of doing business. Too many lights? Send us a bill. Polluting the environment? Send us a bill. Too many Replicants? Send us...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    The local whoeveritis' responsible for "running" the city I currently call home seem to believe tap water should contain a LOT of chemicals, so I've almost always used distilled water to shape my hats by spraying them until the felt is good and wet (but not soaked full thickness) so as not to...

    Funny, I thought they had absconded to Argentina. :confused:

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    This was all deliberate, to aid in Newkirk's various undercover intelligence assignments. He was one of the first POWs to be sent to Stalag 13, and the first of the "Heroes" to find himself there. His career as a circus performer (before the war) honed his skills with mimicry, and he was...

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    I've never seen it. Released in the U.S. during my Junior year of high school (1978), I think I might have been one of very few in my school who, upon viewing the trailers, thought it looked boring and too derivative of every other American-made Vietnam movie. And since then, I've seen and...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Easy. The "monsters" are actually aliens from other planets in our solar system, and they pack out their "trash".

    I love the Fed IV!!

    One of the things I adored about my late wife was that she was able to be absolutely honest with me about pretty much everything. With regards to my hats, if she didn't like "hat X" for whatever reason she would simply say something like, "Oh, that looks nice on you. Just don't ever wear it...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    I agree. We current hat wearers sometimes tend to be a little obsessive over the exact shapes and measurements of our beloved hats (or ones that might become beloved some day) to the point that 1/8 of an inch of felt suddenly informs our decision-making process and, while you're still trying to...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Are you sure that wasn't your lovely wife? ;)

    “WTF’ Hats,” that are hard to believe...

    Boot to the head.

    Technical features, you can really do without?

    Also, I'm pretty sure we're all coming at this from different perspectives. For example, I'm not going to spend $15-$25 on ANYTHING just so I can burn it up; I already did too much of that while I was still a cigarette smoker.

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Now that you mention it, yes. I thought it was just me, or something to do with the lines in this neighborhood that miscellaneous crews always seem to be working on. Click on the "back" button, and more often than not the browser takes me to a random page somewhere on the site. I can't use...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    That, and they know their product. If they make a recommendation about a hat, I'd pay attention to it and follow their advice. If only Akubra would make a hat similar to the Fed IV, but with a non-dimensional 2.75" wide brim. ;)

    Indiana Jones V

    "Rambo" and the movie franchise are based on a 1972 novel titled "First Blood", which was written by David Morell. The first movie in the franchise, also titled "First Blood", actually follows the novel rather well, though there are some minor differences. It's worth tracking down a copy of...

    Pretentious idiots who value themselves only by the number of "toys" they have?
