    A Hat for Camp

    Hi, sorry to hear about your experiences (beating a very dead horse). One of the guys on the Scouts-L forum has a tag line of "All Scouting is Local" and it is. There are a few (a very few) rules that flow down from on high, but most of the great things that happen, and the bad things that...

    "Battleship"

    Hi Interesting, I knew that Lieutenant in the British Commonwealth and other countries can be Lef-tenant, as opposed to Loo Tenant (someone renting a loo?). I had thought that Lieutenant Governor was still Loo-Tenant. What do the Brits call the Lords-Lieutenant? Leftenant or Loo-Tenant? I...

    Customer Service in the old days versus now.

    Hi V. C. It's also likely that she has a huge Ivy League school loan. My son (a seventh year Junior, but working full time) said that Wichita State University had a 7% graduate hiring rate in 2009. I haven't bothered to look online, but that's the rate of kids graduating and getting a job...

    The Olympic torch relay it was all Adolf Hitler's flaming idea

    Hi Years ago, I read Heinz Hohne's book, SS the Order of the Death's head. The SS were great marketers. Since they got rid of Christmas (too nice), they invented the "Festival of Midsummer", the SS sold plates, napkins etc to replace the Xmas ones... Ole Adolph was one of the strangest guys...

    Movies you're stunned that people haven't seen....

    Hi Edward Casablanca would be a TOUGH movie to more in time. You have the whole French Nationalism, German Nationalism, Nazi police tactics, French colonial police tactics and American neutrality. We don't have any of those things together anywhere that I know of, even if you swap countries...

    White RAF Roll Neck Sweaters

    Ah Hell, I just bought one to wear. Didn't need an excuse, just bought one. You hang out here too much longer and you'll start needing hats, and sport coats, and other old timey stuff that you didn't even know about last year. later

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    Now Forming! the Campaign Hat Corps

    Hi Make sure you post pictures of Jerry Lee's version of the 1989 Campaign Cover. :D I've got some of his stuff, but no hats yet. Later

    Now Forming! the Campaign Hat Corps

    Hi You might find out if Winchester is making any Nutria felt blanks, if so I'd bet that Major Moore would make you an authentic Campaign hat. If they're not making Nutria, Beaver or Bunny would be a great deal. Look up Buckaroo hatters in Covington TN. Roughrider type hat (wrong color) made...

    Plymouth's as Daily Drivers?

    Hi My Dad sold a 1968 Barracuda with a V8 and brought home a 1974 Plymouth Scamp with a slant 6. That Scamp went from 0-60 MPH in about 15 minutes downhill. That was one of the first years of smog control and seat belt buzzers if I remember right. I got to drive the 1968 cuda ONCE, but it...

    Cowboy Boots with Business Suit?

    :D He didn't care, he wasn't at the Pentagon, he was visiting an aerospace company. He was the customer, therefore he wasn't wrong... Later

    Cowboy Boots with Business Suit?

    Hi I knew a USAF Major who wore black, plain cowboy boots with the dress blues. That's some serious Texan showing through there. It helps to be wearing the correct boot-cut pants if you're going to wear boots. Later

    Which items of vintage clothing would you never wear? And why?

    Hi I took my 25 year old son by the Renaissance fair a couple of weekends ago. I saw many interesting things, drank some mead, ate a turkey leg, saw belly dancers with muffin tops. Personally, I draw a distinct line between traditional and archaic between me and the tights with a codpiece...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Love it. I alternate the Old Fashioned with a simple Ginger ale and Rye. It's summer so I also drink a little red beer made with Budweiser and Zing Zang Bloody Mary Mix. It has so much pepper in it that you have to swirl occasionally. I haven't had a bourbon and coke for about two years...

    Favorite Vintage Perfumes

    Hi I sincerely hope that goes away. Our Baby is 22 now, and my wife still has the whole acute sense of smell. I think everything is o.k. and she's gagging. Later

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hi An old fashioned, based on Jame's recipe with Old Overholdt. I just finished the Lawrence Block book, THe burglar in the Rye in which Rye Whiskey pays a small part. I'm getting to like Old Overholdt at $12 a bottle, tastes like Rye, AND its $12.00 a bottle. Not quite Xmas every week, but...

    Heart attack {Chief000731 Carl}

    Hi Sandi My Father had open heart at 65 in 1984. The operation was on a Friday and he was out walking on Monday. It was SUPPOSED to be Sunday, but the therapist is out on Sunday. Now, it's the DAY after. My Mother was in the Heart section for a week or two in November 2011, not well enough...

    Vintage Coffee Makers

    Hi When my parent's percolator bit the dust about ten years ago, I bought them two replacements from Cabelas. The first one is still going strong. Later
