    James Bond: Skyfall

    Hi Edward If you haven't done so, read "The Spy Who Loved Me" and then watch the movie. Without giving too much away, the whole book takes place in a Motor Hotel on the US / Canadian border. The rest of the movies take "poetic license", this one takes the name. Later

    Could you survive?

    Hi Tom I strongly suggest that you go to night school or take online classes. Don't give up the day job. My kid is taking 8 hours a semester and working full time at a bank. They let him flex hours, and half or more of his classes have been online. Later

    James Bond: Skyfall

    Hi The books were action / adventure, but IN MY OPINION, the most of the movies have been comedies. Dr. No maybe not. Later

    Goatee anyone?

    Hi I just shaved off some of my 14 year old beard. I've had the mustache since I was 18 (shaving accident, when it healed, I had a mustache). I think it makes my face look thinner. The Before picture wearing my new Tumwater Roughrider The After Comments Later

    The general decline in standards today

    Hi PE is one of two reasons I wasn't Valedictorian of my graduating class. Typing was the other one. First semester freshman year, I got a C in PE. Dad (Advanced Math (Trig) and Algebra II teacher) asked what the heck I did wrong. I had no clue. Dad asked our coach what I did, he...

    ever heard of very many tall people that live over 80?

    Hi While true, it may not be all that relevant. The WW2 and Korean War crowd are 80 and 90 now. There were few people over six feet tall back then. My grandfather who was right at 6 feet tall lived to be 82 and smoked Rough County Chewing Tobacco in a pipe until two days before he died...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hi My two favorite beers are Guinness and Newcastle Brown Ale. I drink a lot of ales, and more full bodied lagers etc, but money being money, I probably drink 3-6 Buds for every Guinness I get my hands on. I drink a LOT of red beer in the summer, more refreshing somehow. I think I'll go get...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hi The Blue Ribbon ain't too bad, but one I can't ever drink again is Old Milwaukee. Can you say Montezuma's Revenge? Twice, once per twelve pack. What's in that stuff. I haven't had Blatz since I was home from college one weekend. I'll have to search Oklahoma and see if it exists here...

    Boy Scout Campaign Hat

    Hi I owned a Stratton factory second from Levine's in StL for a while. It was labeled as a long oval, but inside the band was labeled as Wide oval, so I gave it away. Search on Statton hats, and buy from one of the police supply places, they're usually a little less expensive. One thing I...

    The general decline in standards today

    Hi I never thought my PE teachers were particularly stupid, but several were big and loud. One in particular was a pretty good coach, but he was my model as to why NOT to let my son play football. He'd played in college and hat 3 knee operations. He limped on both legs. My most annoying...

    Hi Is "Games Teacher" what the English call a Physical Education (P.E.) teacher? If so, then yep, it's at least the cliche for the job. I went to University of Illinois, where a degree in Physical Education was actually so difficult that our football team tended to major in Leisure Studies...

    Hi Well, it is HARDER to type Y o u than just the "u", but it's usually worth the time. I do use the backspace key on my cell phone more than the other ones. Later

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hi James I've finally gotten moved in and have Rittenhouse Rye (bottled in bond), Maraschino cherries, and bitters. I do alternate the old-fashioned with Zing Zang and Bud (red Beer) and some cheap port. Gotta keep those arteries clear you know. Tonight will be a multiple Old-Fashioned...

    Favorite Historic Buildings or Places

    Hi VC According to Wikipedia, they're pumping stations, but probably for taking water to St. Louis and / or some of the Illinois towns. It takes something a LITTLE larger for flood control on the Mississippi. My Dad told me that the Chain of Rocks bridge was a lot of fun at night while...

    Hi Be sure and bring a LARGE bag of new Depend Adult Undergarments when you start moving stuff from the car. No sense waiting around, and it will make most other things you want done seem less annoying.... :D Later

    Myths of the Golden Era -- Exploded!

    Hi I like walking in Old Growth Timber, I also like living in a Maple Paneled living room, There's a lot of empty space around the Midwest that could be planted in Trees, but NOOOO, we can't do that. I think b. is out of the question, they were talking a little stoned. They may be eligible...

    The Olympics!!!

    GAWD, I love the Three Musketeers, the book and all of the movies (that I've seen anyway). It's not fencing, it's slapping with a stick. I was going to go try fencing, but in Wichita it was cost prohibitive at more than $100 a month just to be in the facility (if memory serves). Later

    The Olympics!!!

    Hey, it's better than watching shooting, at least you can tell which one is winning. Shooting is like watching grass grow, which is ain't doing in Oklahoma this year. Before anyone gets up in arms, I usually shoot a winter pistol league and monthly matches in the summer. Competing fun...

    The general decline in standards today

    Hi My son went to a middle school 6-8th grade and wore uniforms. The requirements were closely (not well) defined, but the kids worked around it. Imagine a 120 pound 5'6" kid wearing a 4XL polo shirt, tucked in, but hanging to his knees so you can't see his 28 inch waist in size 40 means...
