    Western, anyone?

    Hi Looks great, as well being a bit of history. Just curious, just how high is that crown? later

    Hi I like the analogy of the car, that's a great way to illustrate your point. Later

    Who here is a millionaire?

    Hi Actually, my Mom will pretty much kill for 2.5%. I'm refinancing my house for 2.75%. Our CD's are at 0.75%. That's 7500 a year or 625 a month. Don't pay to be rich anymore. later

    Decorating a WW2 themed room.

    Hi Well holy cow, I have an ironing board like that. Apparently it was my grandmother's even though I don't remember either one ironing. My Mom is especially big on Permanent Pressed clothing. Sorry, but I'm still in an apartment and will probably more some more in the next few years, but at...

    shouldn't use my fireplace? or get an insert?

    Hi again My Mom's parents owned an old home in Western Kentucky, they had a coal stove and a coal fireplace. Coal burns a lot hotter than does wood, so the fireplace has to be built for that. Their fireplace had a thick case iron liner, and I like the smell of the burning coal as well as I do...

    Censorship at Fedora Lounge

    Hi I’m not sure why American’s expect Europe to understand us. Our ancestors were kicked out of every decent country in the world (and some not so decent). We’re the British that didn’t trust the King because he wouldn’t let us be Puritans. We’re the French who didn’t want to be Catholics...

    The best of James Bond 007

    Hi I have a feeling that if Pink had done all of the soundtracks that they were asked to do, they would have been "over" a lot sooner, or a lot more. Pink Floyd has a distinctive sound / attitude and you can only create so much of that. Just my $0.02 and worth every cent.

    shouldn't use my fireplace? or get an insert?

    Hi I have no clue about the air clearance. Regular fireplaces loose most of the heat up the chimney, so he's right on that count. My in-laws had an insert in their basement fireplace in the last house. The insert was somehow connected to the furnace ducting so the whole house got WARM. With...

    The general decline in standards today

    Hi Actually you've really defined the problem in current politics. Everybody worth having in office has a "real job" and wont' put themselves through that crap. My school distract back home has had several parents that were bizarrely "single issue", ran for, and were elected to the school...

    Show us your Guns!

    Hi Nick I would tend to steer away from really inexpensive guns unless they're very common (.38 Snubbys and Ruger Mk II's), very simple (Single Shot break open shotguns), or made in China (SKS). I've never seen one of those Chiappas in my local gun stores. If really want a carbine to plink...

    Yellow Beaver Brand Homburg

    Hi The Fedora Store sells regular brand hats, and uses Beaver Brand hats to make custom hats: http://www.thefedorastore.com/ They used to have more colors of felt than the "normal" custom makers. Beaver Brand hats are good quality, I own one and wear it all winter. It's not a work or Art, a...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hi I used to work with a retired USAF Master Sergeant who said that he always sniffed the cardboard on the box wines to be sure it was fresh. He as SUCH a connoisseur. I haven't had box wines in 20 years, I got in the habit of just opening the refrigerator and just getting a gulp... Later

    Aloofness in Re-enactment.

    Hi I haven't reenacted for years, but when I did, I was with a group that kept loaner gear and uniforms around for the newbs. If you're going to be painfully authentic, you have to help out the newbs. The best looking (in my case American Civil War) reenactor only had one set of kit, but he...

    Russia posts Katyn Forest documents

    Hi From my reading on Stalin, Hitler, and Mussolini, Uncle was the worst of the bunch by far. Uncle Joe had anyone who he thought might LATER think about possibly being trouble killed off. Uncle Joe had a lot of his personal help killed off. According to various books by Hitler's secretaries...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Hi Buy a large rain cover if you buy one. I put one on my Montana Peak hat and it took the ribbon off. I sewed it back on, but I went out and bought a larger rain cover. It rained at our last campout and I didn't use the rain cover, it's a 50% beaver Jaxonbilt. later

    "Lincoln" 2012

    HI I was looking at Daniel Day Lewis's movies and I disagree. I didn't like Gangs of New York, or Last of the Mohicans. I didn't see there will be blood, but I was planning on it. I'll probably watch Lincoln, I lived near Springfield IL so I've been to his house, his business, New Salem, the...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hi John, through this site, I've learned a little about Vermouth, tried both sweet and dry of a decent, but no too expensive a brand. I just plain don't like it for some reason. There are only a few things I don't like to drink, Vermouth, Vodka, Limoncello, Brandy, and cheap scotch. Limoncello...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Dang Tom, that's cruel. I used to do that to MY son when he wasn't 21 yet. I used to just open his trunk and steal whatever beer he had, usually something cheap like Coors light (blench) but it was FREE to me. He had a job and he sure wasn't going to complain to Mom about me stealing his...

    Premature burial that causes you the most pain....

    Hi Edward I was a little impressed that MASH was allowed to be ended. Married with Children was cancelled after shooting was ended so no "last episode" was filmed. That was sort of a pity in a way. I'm not sure, but I think MASH may have actually lasted two or three times as long as the...
