    Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

    Hey, what you really need is a toy poodle named Zeus or Rambo or Duke, and a Rottweiler named Fluffy, Ginger, or some other "nice" name. Kill Fluffy Kill. You might take junior to Obedience school. Our brainless half American Eskimo half Cocker will actually walk on your left side and not...

    Most Depressing movies you've seen?

    Hi I don't watch depressing movies, at least on purpose, but two that stand out are "Reservoir Dogs" and "The World According to Garp". I had sad comedies in Garp's case. later

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Hi Check out www.bumwine.com/ they rate the various old time and new "inexpensive wines". If memory serves, they even review Key Lime Pie flavored Mogan David 20/20. Everyone should try the regular MD 20/20, it's like getting bombed on Cough Syrup. Ripple went under, but I think Wild Irish...

    Going sockless in the summer

    Hi The crime against fashion is all in the eye of the beholder. I attended University of Illinois from 1979 to 1983. No good Frat boy wore socks unless the snow was at least a foot deep. Topsiders with no socks was the rule otherwise. I didn't pick up my first pair until moving to Alabama...

    Buckaroo Hat Bodies??

    And you notice I stayed away even while asking the question. Serious question though, my 4H shooting booth is next to the bunny shelter at the county fair, they'd be tame enough. Sorry couldn't help it.

    Buckaroo Hat Bodies??

    Hi I sent Mike Moore a picture of a hat the rough riders were wearing in the movie of the same name with Sam Elliot etc. I got back a hat the was the same shape. I didn't order it the same color though. If and when I get a new job, I'm ordering more from Moore. Feel free to use that in...

    Buckaroo Hat Bodies??

    Hi How is the fur removed? Um, is there a reason we don't treat beavers, nutria, and bunnies like we treat sheep and just shave them? I'm betting that hats use the under fur, which can't be shaved off as easy. Between the EPA and PETA, I'm guessing that it's too much of a pain to get the fur...

    Homeschool! (and other "vintage" values)

    Hi, not so much slamming. Both parents are retired teachers, Dad retired from teaching High School Math in 1984, Mom retired from teaching 4th Grade in about 1994. I know it's true that Public Schools can't pick their students like the private schools, but the top heavy administration and PC...

    Buckaroo Hat Bodies??

    Hi It's my understanding that HATCO, i.e. Stetson makes their own. I believe that at least one foreign firm manufacturers hat bodies too. Winchester is probably the largest in the US. They are owned by Stratton, who make the State Police Campaign hats. I can't provide references for this...

    What's In Your Bathroom Library?

    Hi I read A LOT, but I've never finished War and Peace. When I say a lot, I read over 50 books last year, not comic books either. I didn't like the characters in War and Peace, when I decided I hoped they all died, I just put the book down. Later

    Homeschool! (and other "vintage" values)

    Hi Here in the US, average student enrollment (or possibly enrollment on certain days) is used to distribute Federal money to schools. Heights High School in Wichita KS doesn't make students take final exams if they have less than 5 absences per semester. The purpose of this is to keep...

    Subtly Vintage Engineer

    Hi Nowdays, engineers need paisley ties to better blend in with the parts of lunch spilled on our ample guts. Later

    The International Wool Felt Consortium

    Thanks, can you steam it and re-shape still? If so, all of you Wool hat owners take heed. If you don't, you might end up buying a fedora and wearing a beanie like I did. When I get stuff out, I'll try and take a picture of the hat after the rain shrunk it. Thanks again.

    Hi Zombieland Rule #2, "Double Tap Everything". Look it up... O.K. it's from a ZOMBIE movie, but it's still a great idea. :o Later

    Homeschool! (and other "vintage" values)

    Hi, just curious, who's classroom? Surely the local public schools don't allow you to only show up 3 days a week, my GAWD, that would cut their Federal funding and we KNOW that won't happen. :eeek: :D Later

    The International Wool Felt Consortium

    Hi I'm VERY curious about the Scout hat, I mean jeez, mine went from a large size 7 3/8 to a brimmed beanie in 2 inches of rain and 6 hours. Is it treated with anything (that you know of)? I have a few less expensive fur felts that I wear out doors, a Montana Peak from Jaxonbilt and a...

    Pajamas in public...

    Yep James, even without a couple of strip searches and a body cavity check, it still takes a long time. The Half hour on the road to the airport, half hour to park and get to the building, waiting in line at the ticket booth, getting TSA'ed, waiting until your flight, waiting for your...

    Pajamas in public...

    Hi I work for a company that designs and builds commercial aircraft and WE DON'T FLY anywhere within a day's drive. It's too expensive even with the gas prices, and it's just too much of a pain. back in 2002 or 3, I had to travel from Wichita KS to Shreveport LA. I flew once and drove after...
