    Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

    Hi On the first one, I was asked if I wanted to "view the placenta?" I didn't want to, but since I'd paid so much for it I went over and took a look. Looked like Liver to me, so I DID get to do something, just not something FUN. Later

    Langenberg Hat Co. destroyed by fraud

    Hi Mike bought a bunch of ribbon and a couple of hatter tools and since he came home with them, he got a decent price. From Beaver Brand's old website, I think that their business model was flawed. The website that used to allow you to have a hat custom built online was sure cool, but it...

    "Bash." Not a hatter's term?

    Hi Rusty How are those attached? I have a bunch of pins that would look good on the hat, but the divet in my head would hurt. Later

    Hey Tom Tell the parents Happy Anniversary. Mine made 50 plus years in spite of Dad marrying for the first time at 38. I made 27 before getting the Big D, should have done it years ago. Mom's parents made 65 years I think. I"m not exactly sure when Dad's Mom and Step dad were married...

    James, the term you're searching for is "blocked the whole harrowing experience." That's how women have a SECOND kid. Later

    I need HELP Cigarette Stench is Killing Me!!!

    Hi Another thing that I've seen around here (the lounge) is to put newspaper in hats to "soak up" the smell. It's supposed to work on hats anyway. I wouldn't sneeze on having the jacket professionally cleaned either. Have fun Worf.

    No Love For Black Hats

    Hi PERSONALLY, I'd keep the squatter on sale and get a new hat. By the time you use a $100 plus hat for re-work, you can get a new Bunny fur felt hat from Mike Moore for $210.00. The concho hat band would be extra, but then you wouldn't need to go the concho way if you buy a contrasting...

    Matching A Panama

    Oddly enough A.C. years ago during the summer of my Sophomore year in college I spotted a VERY attractive short blonde girl wearing a tube top, daisy dukes, and flip flops. She was carrying a parka. I thought it odd, but quickly forgot about it. Several hours later I went to the auditorium...

    Indiana Jones' origins: An interview with costume designer Deborah Landis

    Hi When they count profitability of a movie, when do they "quit"? I mean, The Wizard of Oz is still selling copies and I think that that last actress / actor / film worker died a decade ago?? Just curious. I do agree that spending 35 million to get 31 million would define a flop.

    Hi James It was fairly comfortable, but was pretty tall and top heavy. EVERYTHING on the inside was plastic. You had to be setting inside the car with the electronic tracking fob to make it go. I found that weird, but I've been using keys for 30 years. The 15 mph MAY have been because...

    Indiana Jones' origins: An interview with costume designer Deborah Landis

    Hi High Road to China was an o.k. movie, but not thrilling. 1942 was a really hilarious movie about the great LA Air Raid. Great to have an air raid, but only one side shows up. I guess you could say that they were both flops, but Raiders IS iconic. Would we consider the Matrix series as...

    HI I rented a Ford Escape while the Subaru is in the shop. Too much electronics to ever make antique car status in Kansas (20 years). It has a touch panel to control everything from heat to the "entertainment system". That won't be available after seven years or so. Rear camera for backing...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Hi It's kind of funny on the "confirmed bachelor deal", my seventh grade teacher looked like the guy in the ads for Barclay Cigarettes. Slim, well dressed etc. He didn't marry until his mother died. He got married for the first time after he retired. Not at all gay, but he had promised his...

    Autumnal Thoughts........

    Hi If you don't LOVE pumpkin pie, you should NEVER try pumpkin flavored beer. I don't like Pumpkin pie, but I LOVE BEER. I thought I might like Pumpkin beer. I didn't, not at all, not even a little bit. Mom makes Pecan pies or Pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving and Xmas. Later

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Hi I have a Charcoal hat with a pretty dark Navy Blue ribbon. I like the Charcoal much better than the Granite. Granite tends to look different in different lighting making it hard to match. Silverbelly has the same problem. Charcoal with a lighter ribbon would almost certainly look really...

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    Hi My parents purchased an old house in 1961. It had a large cast iron gas water heater. It still has a large cast iron water heater, the same one. The basement has been flooded at least a couple of times over the past 50 years too. Hope I'm not Jinxing it. Later
