    AdventureBilt Hats Waiting List Concern

    I dropped off the earth for a few years. Before that, when it was a vague rumor that there might be another Indy film (and few cared anyway) - I did always like that hat. Since Steve was the recommended guy, I emailed him and got a response in about 20 minutes. We shot about a dozen emails back...

    When does a gentleman fight back?

    I kind of think that some in society would want themselves thought of in that manner. Regarding the topic, I don't know when a gentleman should fight back, as I am not a gentleman. I have found, however, that since "fight back" means an altercation has started, I am usually able to win the...

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    Kind of interesting. As I read through this, I have come to realize that I absolutely cannot remember the last time I said I was sorry for anything. I suppose it is a good thing that I spend very little time around others. Wait! I now remember that last weekend, my Jack Russell terrier...

    Lets see some Pics of you wearing your Aeros

    Tito, I've been completely stuck for a couple days on whether to go with brown or cordovan. Thank you so much for your photos -- cordovan it is.

    'Whipped' by Our Wives?

    I don't know (to answer the original question). I don't pay enough attention to know whether my bride (wife #3) would scream about things I buy. Most of what I buy she never sees anyway, meaning it's just another book or another part for something in the shop. But, she does appreciate me letting...

    The Elks. The Moose. The VFW. AMVETS. Eagles. Where did they come from?

    My wife and I have been Eagles members for probably 20 years. Five years ago, I'd have said the local chapter was really declining, just "old people" (including me -- meaning us boring ones who don't want loud music, just cheap drinks, etc.). Honestly, though, the average age of the members...

    St. Patrick's Day

    My bride has corned beef and cabbage in a slow cooker at home, she did remind me to wear green today and promised there would be beer with dinner. I am not Irish, so I have no idea whether the corned beef and cabbage is a traditional dish or not - I heard "beer" and the rest tended to lose...

    Is anyone here a Journalist?

    Me, too, long ago. Also got a bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Missouri, if you've got any college or course questions. These days, I don't even look at the "news."

    A tip of interest to anyone who wears boots...

    Me, too. I find running shoes and other athletic-style footwear to be incredibly uncomfortable. I can and have walked all day in well-made cowboy boots. Actually, I just realized I have worn cowboy boots at least 360 days a year for 36 years. The other five days a year get insulated pac boots...

    Various leathers in the rain

    I have an American Bison vest. I'd give it a fair for water resistance, with heavy cowhide a "good" and elk a "poor." Cape Buffalo (boots) are extremely tough, water seems to have no effect at all. In my opinion, the difference between what's better in the rain probably has more to do with the...

    So through with COOL!

    Thank you - I was trying to come up with a way to describe myself, and you did it. I, too, was a hermit as a teenager and also really don't use much slang. [cursing will not be included as usage or mentioned since inclusion would allow me to artificially outscore everyone else]. But, when I...

    Aero Vintage Brown vs. Oil Pull

    Through Mark is no customs fees, etc. HD - thanks very much for posting those photos + your excellent descriptions on the different types of FQHH. I am at that same point myself, getting ready to give Mark some money and couldn't quite make up my mind until your photos. My first Aero, and in...

    Why do I hate the 1970s so much?

    I thought somebody burned all those records. At least I hope so. I didn't run into much disco in the 1970s, thankfully, since I spent most of that decade on a cattle ranch and none of the horses could sing. Seems like a lot of people were protesting one thing or another. In order to protest, one...

    Free Armani jacket scam (Anyone have this great opportunity yet?)

    Unfortunately, I've completely missed out on that opportunity. I need to get out more - but I've been busy checking my account for the $10,000,000 that's being wired into it from the Nigerian government.

    Inexpensive Fountain Pens

    My favorite inexpensive (around $25) fountain pen is the Lamy Safari. I carry an extra fine nib and an italic nib every day -- the italic nib I just enjoy and was willing to spend $25 to see if I'd like one. The pens themselves seem durable, but nothing fancy about them. I use converters and...

    Smoking in the house???

    Outside or in the garage (which has no motor vehicles or gasoline in it) with a door open a bit. I smoke cigarettes and really enjoy them, but I don't like the smell after a couple of days. Cigars I do like and we smoke cigars inside once in a great while. But, the biggest reason for no smoke...

    Traditional 50's style Leather Biker Jackets

    I second celtic. Fox Creek is not often heard of, and that's too bad, because their (definitely heavy) leather is fantastic.
