    Harold Lloyd fans?

    It amazes me how wonderful and crisp the TCM prints of the early films like "The Freshman" were, especially when compared to the rather crummy print they have of 1947's "The Sin of Harold Diddlebock." I looked at IMDb while watching "Welcome Danger" (1929) and discovered that Harold's...

    Matt Helm Lounge....

    On a sad note, this month marks the 40th anniversary of the murder of Dino's co-star in "The Wrecking Crew", Sharon Tate. Great collection. Watch for the "grass" to bulge up like a loose carpet when Dino falls on it. Watch also for Chuck Norris, blink and you'll miss him.

    Shuron Glasses

    I think so, my old glasses are over 8 years old now. Have to get a new scrip first.

    Shuron Glasses

    Not sure, I think those may be tortoise. I should have taken notes but I happened to pass by that store by accident.

    Shuron Glasses

    I posted this in another thread, but I got a chance to try on a pair of Shuron Ronsir ZYL frames and I think they really work for me.

    Vintage Eyeglasses

    Trouble is, the shop I visited wants $175 for the frames alone, and I've found them for less than half of that online. I'd like to buy them locally, but I don't want to spend ninety bucks extra for the privilege.

    Hair cuts

    I don't know what you'd call the style, but having it very short on the sides also prevents "Hat hair".

    Vintage Eyeglasses

    Thanks! Yeah, they really do seem to go with my face.

    Vintage Eyeglasses

    I finally found a place that carries Shuron, it's called Hotel de Ville Eyewear and they're just across the street from the great Sweeney Todd's vintage barbershop in Hollywood. The owner was nice enough to take these pictures: Shuron Ronsir Shuron Freeway I'm leaning...

    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    I wonder if the third season will begin with November 1963, but maybe they'd consider that a bit cliched.

    Michael Jackson Dead at age 50

    If it's any consolation, Donny Osmond appears to be in excellent health.

    "Emma Peel"

    Actually, in Diana Rigg's last episode of The Avengers, her long-lost husband Peter Peel did show up. You couldn't see his face, but he did have a Bentley, a bowler and a brolly. :)

    The Party Line....

    In the old days, each phone line required a pair of individual wires on a pole, and they cost a lot to install and maintain. Once the technology was developed to put a large number of phone wires in a cable bundle, private lines became much more affordable. If you have an antique phone, most...

    Can a plain black tie be worn outside funeral/mafia context?

    Or bluesman. :)

    Does anyone use a name that's not their own?

    My middle name is Anthony, and I've gone by Tony for as long as I can remember. I once asked my Mom about it and she said I preferred that name over my first name, John. My Dad (who would have turned 103 yesterday) called me Jack. I also asked my Mom if the "John/Jack" had anything to do...

    80 Pierce Arrows?

    My boss has a 1955 Seagrave fire truck powered by a flathead V-12 that was a Pierce-Arrow design that Seagrave bought the rights to after Pierce-Arrow went out of business. I have read that Seagrave continued to build that engine up until 1970, not bad for an early 1930s design.

    This "sucks"... the Hoover And Other Vintage Vacuum Cleaners

    'Oover That's an excellent find! Wondering if our friends across the pond can report if people in England still refer to any vacuum cleaner as a "Hoover" :)
