So I couldn't wear it simply because I enjoyed it? Nor, could I attempt to set up a white tie event here in the states? I dare say that it maybe difficult to do it in the states, but not impossible, especially with the right friends around. Things are only ritualistic if you allow them to be...
That's interesting. I personally think that World War II was simply the final nail in the coffin, and if anything just increased the speed of the Empires of Europe declining. I personally believe that it was World War I that signed the death tags of the great Empires of Europe. Had there not...
I think Brain Lamb does the best job at presenting "just the facts ma'am" style of reporting. He quotes statistics, and studies, states facts and doesn't try to make the news emotional. I'm sure he does have his biases, but I think he and the men and women who work for him, do their best to...
Maybe it's just my computer old boy, but I've refreshed it a few times, and I still don't see any picture :-P. As far as does anyone manufacturer cardigan sweaters, I'm sure they do, but I couldn't find any when I last looked in the local stores. I think L.L. Bean sells them though, and I'm sure...
I hate rap, all of it. And before anyone ask no I don't like independent rappers either. I've always hated rap music, since they day it started becoming popular when I was a child. And before anyone ask that includes earlier "old school" rap, and even family friendly songs like the theme song to...
The Glenn Miller Orchestra is still very much around, even though Miller has been gone since the second World War.
BTW do you ladies and gentlemen consider today's Crooner's members of this list? Or are we only dealing with proper bands?
Lizzie your my favorite poster here, but guys like Walter Lippmann is one of the reasons I have so little faith in traditional media. Woodrow Willson's boy allowed his politics to spin everything he did in media. He was a man that argued completely from his own viewpoint, and attempted to pass...
I wonder if it had more to do with availability then simply a preference for the stingy brims. I say that because my Grandfather (A fellow member of the Greatest Generation) didn't like stingies because in his opinion they served no purpose. The fedoras that he did own were the same ones he had...
Which one? The one where Hub beats up the greasers, or when he gives his "What every boy needs to know about being a man." speech? Secondhand Lions is one of my all time favorite movies. I'd go so far as to say that it's my favorite film from the 00's.
See I though Han was just Lucas' spin on the gunslinger character. You learn something new everyday :). Thanks.
Half of the thing with Wayne is that some people can't get over his politics. Personally his politics don't bother me much, but even if they did I don't think they take away from his...
The thing with Kennedy is that by in large he is become less known as time goes by. Last Presidential Poll by historians I saw had him falling from the top 10. Mostly because the man really wasn't in office very long, and the most important aspect of his Presidency was that Cuban Missile Crisis...
So the general complaint about this thread is that some people made their opinions known that they don't enjoy stingy brim fedora hats, others think that most modern cloth and paper straw stingy hats aren't much to write home over, and that in general people here in the lounge know more about...
Who exactly is claiming that we are better then ballcap wearers? I've heard people giving their personal feelings on the subject of the cap and why they don't enjoy it, and why they think a fedora would be more complimenting to certain outfits. I myself have given the reasons that I don't like...
Second Hand Lions:
Hood 1: Hey, who do you think you are, huh?
Garth: Just a dumb kid, Hub. Don't kill him.
Hub: [to Garth] Right.
[Grabs Hood 1 by the throat]
Hub: I'm Hub McCann. I've fought in two World Wars and countless smaller ones on three continents. I led thousands of men into...
I agree. There are cloth hats that have symbols and logos on them, but I think they look horrible and are not for me in anyway. Although maybe I'm a bit of a hypocrite since I have no problem with say a Stetson hat pin, on at hat. I think the reason that a hat pin doesn't bother me though is...
