    Leather Heels

    I'm wearing a pair of black hanover wingtips with leather heel and sole right now. Even got the metal wedge in the heel. The metal wedge makes a loud clacking noise as you walk (like a ladies heel), and can even be a bit jarring compared to rubber heels. Good for dancing on a wooden...

    Where were you on July 20, 1969?

    I was 9 years old and in grade 5 at primary school. The entire school was assembled in the main hall, and we all got to watch it on TV. There were about 150 of us. We all got to watch it on one small set that was up on stage.:rolleyes:

    Vintage Cartoons

    Couldn't agree more. I have to say that whenever I'm in the states and I see Darlie toothpaste, I have to ask myself, how much effort did they put into their rebranding exercise?

    What Games Amuse you

    The Dictionary Game... I was able to liven up a fairly tense dinner party with the dictionary game. A good dictionary is required. I find old English dictionary's contain lots more rarely heard of words. Each player is handed a piece of paper and a pencil for scoring. The first person has to...

    The death of the American luxury sedan

    A mate of mine bought 5 of these in a Police auction in Mansfield TX. He's a bit obsessive like that, but kindly lets me use one when I visit. The bodystyle, white paint, front bumper and spotlight ensure you get real respect in traffic. I have driven plenty of hotrods, and the interceptor...

    The death of the American luxury sedan

    I can't upload pics, but have a look at the aussie ute (short for utility). http://www.holden.com.au/vehicles/Ute/SS-V-Series http://www.ford.com.au/servlet/ContentServer?cid=1178852821800&pagename=FOA%2FDFYPage%2FFord-Default&site=FOA&c=DFYPage Think modern day El Camino. Hugely...

    What are you called?

    A while back I was reading an article in the paper where the authour (a car guy) proclaimed himself to be a petrosexual. At a lunch not long after, doing my best to be witty and erudite, when asked my interests, said 'I'm a petrosexual!' Stopped conversation. Then nervous laughter...

    Food Memories

    I remember eating a lot of spam as a kid. Crumbed spam, fried spam (always in the electric frypan), leftover cold fried spam sandwiches. Heck, it could even inspire a comedy sketch. I bought some a while back in a fit of nostalgia. Couldn't even finish the first bite. I think the reason...

    Indy Magnoli - Earthquake?

    Glad you are safe. Here the authorities are congratulating themselves on how well the advance warning system worked. This is a hot topic right now given the recent fires. No public warning on TV, radio or SMS, although I heard that the government radio station mentioned it in news reports. I...

    "Here's looking at you, kid" and what might get you slapped

    A couple of years ago at a party, a friend of mine, as was his habit at the time, called a woman 'toots'. She was very butch and no withering stares for her. She shirt fronted him and was going to beat the hell out him! Talbot

    What am I called? Lots of things, many not to be repeated in polite company:)

    Vintage Cartoons

    I think it depends on wether these stereotypes are meant to be propogated(as per the time), or used to reflect on how far we have come. I'm all for the second point, no tolerance for the first. I'm strictly a Warner Brothers Merrie Melody guy myself, although I can give Beanie & Cecil a nudge...

    Apollo 11 rebroadcast

    If you get a chance.... Have a look at the Australian film 'The Dish'. Entertaining and interesting take on the Apollo 11 mission. One of Buzz Aldrin's favourite films, or so it has been reported. Its one of mine!

    Much ado about "DOO-WOP"

    Hmm, I'll have to check both versions. I'm not a hardcore record collector, but I seem to recall Dootsie William's Dootone label was a bit relaxed about group names. Can any Texan's tell me if KLUV still has 'Sunday Night Doo Wops' on air? Just curious.

    The DORCUS COLLECTION

    I can still remember my first suit... Brown suit with orange pinstripes 2 button with vest Bell bottom trousers - no belt Purple shirt with flowers and pointy collar Black shoes with cuban heel. It was 1973, and I was 13, sigh....

    Goodwill buys

    Couldn't agree more... Why spend large $$$ on a suit when a perfectly good second hand one can be found with a bit of effort. Pricing down under can be a bit patchy with the larger goodwill stores charging around $50 for a suit. There is a Salvation army store here in the Melbourne CBD that...
