    MMA (Mixed Martial Arts)

    Hi Flora, Aye, I get all of the UFC Pay Per Views for free - which is a good thing since some of them are sub par and $40 bucks is expensive nowadays! Heck, for $40 I could get an old vintage radio to restore or even get five gallons of gas! ;) I am not sure why I do not like Chuck - It...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Welcome, Shizzy! Welcome, Daisy! Welcome, Ann! Ann, glad to see another NE Pennsylvanian here! I am from Bloomsburg (although I am living in KS at the moment). I get back in to PA about three times a year - hitting Bloomsburg, the Wilkes-Barre area and all points between! :)...

    Fountain Pen Illusions?

    Well, I am a fountain pen afficionado - but it is a fairly new hobby. If Moustache (Jim) is reading this I bet he can share a wealth of knowledge and thoughts. :)

    Daisy Buchanan Under the Weather

    I am passing on my best wishes for a swift recovery. My sister, who is 36 and has had Crohn's 20 years also sends her best wishes along. I know she has gone through so much (surgeries/resections/ - all sorts of medications like Prednisone which made her face blow up) and has had so much pain...

    MMA (Mixed Martial Arts)

    Cro Cop, Penn, Jeff "The Snowman" Monson (only because I think he has sooo much potential and I was able to attend a training camp he put on!), Fedor, Forrest Griffin (I like his showmanship), Bas Rutten, Wanderlei Silva, Dan Henderson, Diego Sanchez, and Spencer Fisher. Liddell - ugh. I...

    Can classic movies improve U.S. image?

    Well, I find that reminiscing is often done through rose colored glasses. In my travels abroad (I have lived in Scotland and Japan as well as visiting many other countries) I have almost always found that people base their perceptions of Americans from our movies and TV shows. Regards, Matt

    The most important meal of the day!

    I love a good bagel and cream cheese (a good NYC/NJ bagel - boiled before baking) - not these horrendous abominations you get in the grocery store. Most mornings for me it is a bowl of Uncle Sam cereal and a cup of coffee - if I am feeling saucy I will make a mocha. On Sundays I like to...

    Picnic

    Although I live in Kansas - I am by no means a Kansan (I am not a native). I always get a kick out of seeing Kansas in the movies like this - it sort of makes me feel a wee bit better about living in this God forsaken hell hole. Oops...did I say that outloud??? :p

    Picnic

    I do not often share YouTube links - but this one is worth sharing. Here is the wonderful dancing scene between William Holden and Kim Novak in the 1955 movie, Picnic. Love "Moonglow" playing while they dance. Picnic Scene Regards, Matt

    I hate my username!

    As the founder and moderator of a few different forums - I will say that it is incredibly easy to change someone's user name. I would not presume to speak for MK, but asking him if this is possible would be worth a shot. Your posts will remain unchanged save for the new user name at the top of...

    What are your hobbies?

    Great hobbies and interests, all! I have been accused of having too many hobbies and interests. But I figure you only have one go at life and you might as well make the best of it! Iaido and Kenjutsu - Japanese swordsmanship - I have been studying formally under a sensei for nearly 18...

    Where did your user name come from??

    Matthew is my given name - and I thought Noir as a surname for the forums went well with "Matt". I also like the Guy Noir bits on A Prairie Home Companion. Regards, M

    Out of the Humidor: The sad demise of pipe smoking

    Well, I picked up my second pipe tonight - a Stanwell Danish Star. I also picked up some more leaf - I am trying the G.L. Pease Westminster. So right now my Nording Ocasa is going to be exclusively for aromatics and my Stanwell Danish Star for English. Since I only smoke one...

    does it feel a little creepy wearing a dead person's clothing?

    Vintage food, huh? Better eat it before it spoils!

    help me identify this doohickey?

    It is quite obvious that this is a flux capacitor. ;)

    does it feel a little creepy wearing a dead person's clothing?

    I prefer wearing dead people's clothing. Whenever I wear a living person's clothing they kind of get upset... Actually, part of the draw of vintage items for me is that they were part of someone elses life long ago. I started off collecting old photos - which I still do. I would go through...

    Pinstripe Suit without Pinstripe Pants? (and Daniel Cremieux)

    Hi Abhay. While I cannot answer your question, I did want to say that I purchased a Daniel Cremieux single breasted suit from Dillards several years ago - it wears very well and they did a decent tailoring job at Dillards. By the way, I am in Wichita. Good to see another Kansan here...
