    Reshaping the brim

    Hi You can read this in 16 places at this site minimum, but don't wear a wool hat in the rain. They SHRINK A LOT. Emphasis. Ask me how I know? I HAD a British WW@ bush hat (replica) that I can't wear anymore because it got SOAKED. later

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hi Don Gettin' old sucks, I used to drink 6-8 beers, but now I got to sleep after about 3. Of course I do drink the higher calorie stuff now, maybe it's just a food coma. later

    Reshaping the brim

    Hi, well I know this part. Distilled water has fewer impurities in it, therefore when it dries it won't leave a water ring like on a bar top, wooden end table etc. If you spray your hat with hard water it will leave what resemble sweat rings. Later

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hi Tecate' with Salt and Lime on the glass. Went well with the Chicken Fajita Enchiladas, Steamed Corn, and mashed potatoes. I don't think Rice goes with beer either, but I did find out that almost all OTHER American beers use a bunch of corn instead of the rice. Bring back the German Beer...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hi Tom I looked at Wikipedia and found that Budweiser has 30% rice, but NONE of the other Busch / Imbev beers have it listed. I would have ASSUMED that anybody who made their brand name beer with rice would use it across the board in Bud Light, Bud Light Lime, Select etc. [huh] It doesn't SAY...

    Cuban Cigar

    Hi I have a similar reaction to Coors Beer (remember Smoky and the Bandit?). Forbidden Fruit, no Coors West of the Mississippi until (?). Later

    Show us your Guns!

    Hi I didn't note that Panache dyed the holster, but anyway, would oiling the holster cause it to diminish in price? If so, how are you supposed to keep the old holsters in good shape? Thanks

    Actually, I think that Little kings taste pretty good, and 3 x 7 ounce is more than 1 x 12 ounce, so they're economical too. What year(s) were you in Champaign-Urbana, I was there from 1979 to 1983. Cocranes, I would guess you were an Illinois Student? Later

    does it ever bother you that vintage clothing is a deceased person's clothing?

    Hi Flicka I wasn't going to post this, but since it dovetails your post... A guy I used to work with rented an apartment. He moved everything in and went to bed that night. When he woke up in the morning, he noticed that the ceiling was textured in a weird way, a large semi-circle on the...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hi Don Well, three little kings for a buck was what I used to drink. Wednesday Night Special in Champaign Illinois at Cochrane's (?) I think. I need to go buy some now. I remember when long necks went from $.90 to $1.00 a piece, the waitresses went wild because they got the dime. They have...

    The Health of Military Surplus Stores

    Hi Thanks to Barre Surplus on the web, I don't actually go by the surplus stores much anymore. The boots I purchased 15 years ago are still functional etc. I think the place I used to shop in Hartselle Alabama is probably out of business. The guy's wife actually washed and ironed all of the...

    US Wings Current A-2 Sale

    Hi I had one of their goatskin jackets earlier this year and sent it back because it was too tight and because it was too light weight. Is the issue jacket heavier? Thanks

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Really, I vaguely remember reading that Old Style had gone away. I knew that Pabst (or their parent company) had purchased the rights to some of the other old beers including Old Style. I could drink Old Style, but it wasn't a favorite. Same with Pabst, but I like it a little more. The one...

    Myths of the Golden Era -- Exploded!

    Hi Lizzie Where is your quote from? Is that Franklin? I think History has shown that his policies didn't really do much to stop the Depression, but he's still worshiped by many of the 80 year-olds back home in Illinois. I looked up Liberty Leaguers and found that they were Conservative...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hi James, Some of the old beers were pretty good. Bud hasn't changed. Miller High Life hasn't changed, Schlitz brought back their old 1960's recipe and it's good again, but it costs more than Bud. Pabst is still o.k. Olympia was water and is out of business (yeah, hope I'm not offending...

    Myths of the Golden Era -- Exploded!

    Hi Garcia Brothers Pizza in a Pan in Champaign Illinois used Pacers as their delivery cars. Imagine that thing in Red, with a plastic tomato top (the greens) on the roof. Pizza was pretty good back then though. Later

    Pulling Off the Casual Look

    Hi Tom One thing you have to remember is that when the 70 and 80 year olds were born, everyone wore a suit and tie unless they were at work AND that work required other clothing. Until the 1950's at the latest, most men wore long pants, a shirt, a sport-coat or suit coat, and a hat or cap...
