    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I think Dad said something on the order of "Ask the people with Malaria how they like not having DDT." Besides making Eagle's eggs soft, what exactly was it DDT did that was so bad? According to Wikipedia it's suspected of being a cancer causing substance, but it also says that studies haven't...

    The Depression as Depicted in Art, Literature and Pop Culture. True or not?

    Hi Lizzie I wonder how my two grandfathers figured into the situation. Grandpa Mike was a fireman on the Wabash Railroad. He fired the 573 which is in the Museum of Transportation in Saint Louis. Grandpa lived close to the roundhouse, so after the manager called the first couple of guys on...

    Subdued patches on your B-3

    Hi You might look into having a jacket painted with your colored patches. The paint would look more WW2 and the reproduction of your squadron patches would look realistic and represent a group you were actually IN. Just my $0.02

    John Wayne's Akubra?

    Hi Where did you get the hat cord for this hat? I'm looking at getting some and having Mike sew them on a John Wayne hat. I HATE the bouncing dingleberries. How long have you had any of the hat cords? I have an older Field Officer black and gold that came apart quickly is why I'm asking. Later

    What Constitutes a Gentleman's Walking Stick?

    Hi Tractor supply sells a hardwood cane of some sort for under $10.00. It's UGLY, but would make an excellent starting point for a walking stick. If you look up Hiking Staff, you'll probably find various brass ends to protect the bottom. Later

    Falcon Park Hattery

    Hi I don't like Granite for that reason. I like cars that change color in different light like Candy-Apple Red. Granite and Silverbelly look different in different light. I have enough damn trouble matching my clothes to my hats etc. I have a Charcoal with a blue ribbon from TonyB that I...

    Looking to get into better head gear.

    Hi Worf I second the idea of going to a hat shop. There's a few web pages on fitting a hat to your face, but I have trouble working out what sized face I have. Gary White is in Buffalo NY and he's well regarded. I also suggest buying a sun body grass (straw) hat this summer in a fedora size...

    December 7,1941

    Hi Lizzie Oddly enough one reason for the Japanese aggression was an earlier 1920'a I believe, peace and economy movement. The Japanese had a Prime Minister who managed to cut spending even in the Army and Navy. This was sometime after WW1 I believe. Somewhere between 20% and 50% of the...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hi ODDLY enough when I was looking for my latest vehicle, a 2003 Dodge Dakota with the quad cab was test driven. My son and daughter (15 and 12 at the time) were completely against the idea of the truck because the seats didn't recline so that they could sleep. I didn't get the truck, my wife...

    Too Old for a Short Leather Jacket?

    HI I bought an A-2 for my Dad for roughly his 68th birthday. He wore it until he was about 85 when the situation in Springfield Illinois with respect to crime was such that he was scared to wear it. He was a WW2 USAAC Veteran. Later

    Carolina Shag Champs

    GAWD, here I am at 50 and NOW I find out there's a style of dance I'm supposed to be able to do. My memory of college and dancing is that all males who danced were more than half drunk, we still didn't think we could dance, it's just we didn't care so much anymore. later

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hi I remember Jeff Foxworthy's line about that. "They're putting the Olympic Kayak teams down the same river that they filmed Deliverance on. Damn, you know if Ned Beatty can't get down the river in one piece what chance does some French guy in a pair of tight bicycle shorts have?" Back on...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Hi Ed Personally, I think it would be helpful to combine that page with the available colors. So far, Nutria just comes in Sand and Olive (more or less) right? Later

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Commonly, the old bed spread is on top of the seat cushions. I was going to start my answer with "Depends on whether we're discussing the truck seat cushions or the couch seat cushions." but I felt that beginning an answer with the term "Depends" in this forum would lead to the eventual...
