    Growing a beard just to wear a fedora

    Hi Marc I'm kind of working on that one, but my jaw isn't really thin enough having more of an Otto Von Bismark face than a Wilhelm II / George V / Tsar Nicky face. The wife doesn't like the curl on the end of the mustache and I get the whole "You look stupid" thing. Later

    George Lucas Is Ready to Roll the Credits

    Hi Movie subjects aside, we used to go see both movies at the theater (two screens) most weekends, but we didn't buy the popcorn and the movies were only $2.00. Now it's $7.00 for a matinee, and $10 or $12 (3D) at night, and now it's not worth the price. I go to see 3-4 movies a year now...

    John Wayne's Akubra?

    Hi I got home from Pistol Practice early last night and re-creased it in the diamond shape. It looks better with less curve than what Brian had. I think I'll re-wet it tonight and try an even harsher crease and see how that looks. I'll still PROBABLY end up with a Boss of the Plains though...

    Hi That was the first movie that the wife and I went to when dating. No wonder she doesn't like me that well. I guess it was good that we ate first... Later

    Growing a beard just to wear a fedora

    Hi I grew the mustache after slicing my upper lip when shaving at college. By the time my face healed, I had a mustache. I've had it for 32 years now. I last shaved the beard off in 1985 for the wedding and in 1998 for Scout Camp. My beard is patchy gray, brown, and a little red. I...

    The Curse of Indiana Jones

    Hi Sam I'm sure that's where I bought mine. Couldn't hit anything with it though, all we had back then was a really old cat. Later

    The Lawrence Welk Show

    Hi, I had the "too nice" in quotes for a reason. Syrupy is probably the better word. Too syrupy for me to watch. I agree about the rest of television, but I still liked it better when the guy with the white goatee conducted. Better??

    Looking for a hat for my dad

    Hi I had an oil cloth hat, I'm sort of a pack rat, and I DID get rid of the oil cloth hat. If you get your Dad an oil cloth hat, whatever you do, don't buy the extra coating and put it in. You won't need that stuff for 5 years or so. I wore an oil cloth hat to Scout camp at 100 plus...

    Hi I've eaten raw octopus, tastes fine, but it gets bigger and bigger the more you chew on it. I ate a half inch cube and nearly couldn't swallow it. There was also something at this Korean place the resembled cricket legs in a thin red sauce. Didn't taste too much at all. Later

    The Lawrence Welk Show

    Hi I think Tom mentioned in another thread, the reason I didn't like to watch Lawrence. He was Syrupy sweet. The band was great, most of the singers were great, but Lawrence was "too nice". Later

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    Hi With respect to the heart, lungs, liver, brain etc, I have NO PROBLEM eating anything that's chopped up in sausage with a good portion of actual meat in it. I don't eat Brain cause the Red Cross don't like that. Otherwise I'm good with most animals I've tried. I had BBQ goat once at a...

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    Hi Lizzie I eat at several different Vietnamese restaurants around here and have eaten the Pho with all of the trimmings (tendon, tripe etc). The fact that it's tripe doesn't gross me out, but it FEELS like eating beef fat. I think you may have worked in a better sausage factory than Buck...

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    Hi The whole "all of the pig but the squeal" attitude towards eating during the depression and well before kind of grosses me out. I don't eat cow's tongue, brains, or liver. It grosses me out too much. On the other hand, I eat sausage regularly, but my great uncle Buck used to work at a...

    Hi James, I LOVE escargot, I HATE paying for it. IF I lived around a hoard of snails, I'd feed them cornmeal and eat like a king. Since I don't, they're over priced garlic bread... Worms like Cornmeal too, they get the size of small snakes pretty quickly, fished with them, didn't try any as a...

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    Hi Actually, I asked what they tasted like and a guy told me that basically eating an oyster was like swallowing a hocker. I finally tried three while in Seattle last Summer, he was right, no flavor. The sauce was GREAT though. I tried escargot years ago and it tasted like Garlic Bread...

    Hi James My Father grew up in the heart of the depression, born in 1919. He NEVER hunted or took me hunting. He was too tired of eating Raccoon, which is says isn't that great. He did mention that eating Ground hog was good. My wild game cookbook says that Ground hog meat is good because...

    Hi James I'm thinking that the CHALLENGE in skunk preparation is in the cleaning. Of course, if you catch it yourself, make mistakes cleaning it yourself, you'll probably be perfectly free to eat it yourself. Later

    John Wayne's Akubra?

    Hi 4Spurs. I looked on YouTube, the hats are just a little different. The Cavalry trilogy ones look a lot thinner than my Resistol. They also have a higher crown. I really gotta measure that thing. I'm betting it's less than 5.25 inches. The Commanchero's hat looked even taller. Later
