    50 Unexplainable Photos

    A few look like those cards that you would get after a freak show. Then some are proof that crazy art pictures weren't invented in the 60's. The rest are just different lol. lol. Could very well be! Watch out for Mr. Booze!

    Hats of the Depression

    I can define slobish dress quite easily, even with today's standards. The problem is that to some dressing slobbishly is an individualistic right and only a tyrant would dare to look down on you because of it. To get a bit more "PC" I understand that the homeless and down trodden have more...

    Johnny Depp in talks to Play The Thin Man

    What actress can play a wealthy socialite today though, and come off in a good way? Maybe Emily Blunt?

    Hats of the Depression

    I'll avoid what politics I can, since everyone seems to want to drag every thread into the political realm today for some strange reason.:eusa_doh: But this is pretty much how I understand the Golden Age, because it's the way my Grandfather was who lived threw it. You wore a suit when you went...

    99% of people who claim that they miss the good old days, are talking about the sense of community, politeness, a general feeling of belonging, and maybe a few cultural aspects such as music for example. There is a sad and small group that wouldn't mind living in the days of no racial...

    Time Warp Towns

    I love Wal-Mart. lol. In fact they are good at supplying cheap priced banana's and other foreign goods that I can't get at the local farmers market. If you don't like Wal-Mart stop shopping there, and pay higher prices at other places. I hate Citgo, so I don't buy anything from them. I have a...

    This generation of kids...

    See I think every generation has a reason to complain about the one that is following it though. Ideals, skill sets, and knowledge is always being lost and rediscovered. Most people when they are young do miss out on the wisdom of those that came before them, in America it's almost rampant. Then...

    Indeed, I think some of us (myself including :P) have rambled on long enough. I think we are suppose to be talking about the damn kids these days and their backward hats and ill fitting trousers anyways aren't we? Damn kids with their horrible music, and sleeping in *grumble grumble* ;-)

    Great buy casechopper! The hatbox design intrigues me for some reason. $23.50 seems like one heck of a deal for a size 8 LO though!

    Going back to my Grandfather, a lot of people that he helped tried returning the favor in whatever way they could. Some cooked him cookies and cakes, overs quilted blankets for him, some would clip his hedges when he couldn't any longer. It wasn't a tidal for tattle thing, it was a "He helped me...

    How do you tell the age of a fedora?

    Some Stetson's have the date stamped on the inside of the sweatband. My Royal De Leuxe Stetson St. Regis homburg for example was made on October 10th, 1954 according the the sweatband.

    I'm the product of late 80's early 90's working class, although my Grandfather on my mother side was a successful man. He was a self made man and very traditional. My Grandfather was born in 1920, his father died when he was 12 in 1932, and his Grandfather did a lot to raise him threw his...

    I used to term conservative in the general "to preserve" sense, not in the political sense of the word. I was originally going to say traditionalist viewpoint, but I thought that was even more political of a term. I was trying to use the word conservative in the Edmund Burke sense, without...

    I'm not saying the world's most famous fashion houses are going to be coming out with their "Lancaster Line" in 2020, which all proper ladies will be buying up. I am saying that the American culture that lead to the excess of the Baby Boomers and those that followed is coming to an end, and I...

    It was in many ways the excess of the upper class during the Regency Era that brought up many of the ideals of the Victorian era. Queen Victoria had seen how William IV excess had affected the court, and culture around them and made an effort to change that culture. It isn't a popular view...

    Very true... as the old Ommpa Loompa song goes. "Who is to blame if your kid is a brat?...... the Mother and the Father." Although their are some people who have great parents, and just turned out to be dunderheads.
