    Farmer brings 'Nazi' cows back to Britain after 2,000 years

    Now that's a slow news day; too slow to even fill a single column with one story. Beavers. Indeed! I'm sure the political stances of the cattle play the entire field. Lee __________________ Moo.

    rooms(s) in our home for photo ops-your input requested...

    Speaking as a photographer, any room but the bathroom. Also, as evidenced by the first photo, never, EVER take a photo facing perpendicular to any wall, window, mirror, door, etc. You'll notice that the flash always bites back. Always shoot at an angle of at least 30 degrees. Makes for a...

    I'm offering photo shoots. Plural. So far, not a word from Matt; no attempt to contact me has been made. Keep pressuring him, folks. lol Matt. Set aside your search for your Emma Peel and look for a photographer. You need one! Professional photos done with the proper equipment and...

    When does a gentleman fight back?

    I am not a fighter. Call me whatever you wish, but I will not, cannot, nor do I even wish to ever be involved in a physical confrontation. I avoid public places and activities where fights are known to break out; bars, pool halls, 125th street, certain sporting events, etc. You see, I've...

    Gentlemen what is the ideal lady for you?

    No, HD, it is not everyone's concern: Our thoughts are our own concern and no one has the right to tell us otherwise. We all have the right to like or dislike anyone, for any reason. "No shirt, no shoes, no service," one might say. What get me are the people who insist on tolerance at all...

    Twitter?

    The creator of Twitter (I forget his name at the moment) is good friends with Bill Handel of KFI 640 AM, here in Los Angeles, and he's said as much while on Bill's show. Jokingly, of course. :p Yup! And sometimes sooner than later. Thomas Edison took his drawing of "a machine that records...

    Nobody Can Insult Someone Like....

    There's a quote in the business world that is proven true, to me anyway, everytime I go to work and deal with the flotsam that makes up the upper strata of management: "All managers are promoted to their highest level of incompetence." Where I work, the higher they are, the more...

    Show us your TIES

    Thank you very much, JP. Total length is 44 inches, 50 inches if you count the fringe. Draped over my shoulders, both ends reach to just above my navel, minus fringe. (I'm 5'8".) Tied as shown in the first site (thank you very much) the design is drawn up to a nice height; high enough that...

    If you had to be a historical mobster who would you be?

    Johnny Dangerously. He never killed anyone, although he did cause Roman Maroni a few headaches. If a thread asking to choose a private eye I'd like to be pops up: Rigby Reardon, Shell Scott, Kinky Friedman (the detective, not his author), Sam Spade, Philip Marlowe, Michael Shayne . . . ...

    Show us your TIES

    Stupidity. :eusa_doh: I really wish I had; at the very least out of respect for the lady who'd found it for me. It was my first time in vintage, and had I not allowed myself to be cowed by the mild weather and not knowing how to wear it, I would have been more inclined to. Lee

    Show us your TIES

    When it comes to ties, I'm a babe in the woods compared to, well, pretty much all of you. These are my first three vintage ties. From left to right: Arrow, Korry and no tag, so I don't know. I bought these a week ago Saturday - a day before going to Santa Anita, where I wore the one next...
