corsets for men?
The only reference I've ever heard to a man wearing a corset involved him telling his buddies that he's worn one ever since his wife found it in the glove compartment of his car. :eusa_doh: Lee- MrNewportCustom

Walking Sticks & Canes.
Show Us Your Walking Sticks Because I felt that the top hats in the Toppers Unite thread needed their obvious companions, I offer the following: Show us your Walking Sticks. I've wanted one since I was a kid - probably after seeing a Boulevardier in some classic film. Well, years later I...- MrNewportCustom

The "Annoying Phrase" Thread
She'd've hated me, then. I like contractions, if they're done right or in a comical fashion: It's have not of. I'd've written more, but I'm at the Alhambra couthouse serving my jury duty, and I don't wish to hog the computer. Lee- MrNewportCustom

Skin No, it's not what it sounds like; it is not porn! :eek: The entire title is: Skin - The Complete Guide to Digitally Lighting, Photographing and Retouching Faces and Bodies. It's by Lee Varis. There is not a single nude photo in it. Yet another Lee- MrNewportCustom

Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds
Another beautiful clock, Vic! I found this lighter at the Pasadena City College Flea Market last Sunday. It's a '40s Berkeley Director. I replaced the flint, so now it works. Lee- MrNewportCustom

Migraines - how to come out the other side
I used to get horrible migraines; ones that made me vomit. Fortunately, only a couple of times a year. But, since breaking my nose right out of high school (not the best remedy, but it's worked pretty well for years, now), what I get now, for the most part, are throbbing headaches that last for...- MrNewportCustom

The "Annoying Phrase" Thread
A coworker was telling me about his recent drive from Colorado to California, and mentioned crossing the Nevada/California border. Before he got the "r" out, I was telling him that borders are between countries. When he bought his house, he talked with a "real-a-tor." Real-a-ly? Back in...- MrNewportCustom

The best films no one has ever seen.
Back in 1983, a little-known director named George Lucas (okay, he'd made a couple of films that we've all heard of, by then) called Twice Upon a Time.. It starred Ralph the All-Purpose Animal, who can turn himself into any animal he needs to be at the time, and his pal, Mumford, who...- MrNewportCustom

Movies that are horrible, but we love them--Mystery Science Theater 3000
One of the last videotapes I bought was a documentary about MST3K, starring, of course, the cast of same. In this documentary, they state that the jokes were intended to fly right over the heads of the children and hit the parents right between the eyes. I'd say they succeeded. Big...- MrNewportCustom

Horrible movies, and the people who get duped into waching them....
Cross My Heart (1987). I've always liked Martin Short's comedy style, and Annette O'Toole is simply gorgeous. So, I did a rare thing and paid my few dollars to see this comedy when it was released to the theaters. Someone should have released the hounds on it. I didn't laugh ONCE! These...- MrNewportCustom

Movies that are horrible, but we love them--Mystery Science Theater 3000
I would watch MST3K any chance I got; Joel (later Mike), Crow and Tom Servo. I really enjoyed their "running commentary" of the movies. A friend and I used to do the same thing back in the '80s. Very funny stuff, that MST3K. I really should start collecting the DVDs. :D Lee...- MrNewportCustom

I'm working my way through some vintage Mike Shayne (Brett Halliday) and Shell Scott (Richard S. Prather) paperbacks that I found recently.

I hate being called "Boss." I work with a man who is a former inmate (hell of a nice guy, though) and he calls me that all the time. We're coworkers, and I am not a prison guard! Lee- MrNewportCustom

The Occult, are you a believer?
People can make themselves believe anything, especially if that belief will help them to understand, even in some small way, the unfathomable and unexplainable. Personally, I believe that being consistently kind, caring and generous to women (in general) will eventually lead one to want to...- MrNewportCustom
