    The Pocket Phone- Cell Phones

    I don't know about anyone else, but I use my Pokia Retro Handset with my Motorola Razor: I get so many compliments and comments when using it. It is definitely a conversation piece and it works great.

    Who Are Your Celebrity Look-Alikes?

    For me, it's Elvis. Been told that so many times, I lost count. I know a woman (Beverly Powers) who knew Elvis and starred with him on three movies and she said I am a dead ringer. I remember working in Vegas on a TV show and we were shooting a segment in the Elvis-O-Rama Museum. I...

    The resurgence of Vinyl & the end of CDs?

    When I bought my grandfathers self-built 1950's Cape Cod, it came with a couple of vintage items, including a 1960's console phonograph/radio unit. I sifted through his small collection of albums and found a 1950's version of Gershwins "Rhaspody in Blue" and on the B-side, "Symphony for...

    bored to tears

    What exactly do you do? I lived in Vegas for about two years (04-06) and worked in the video production/indie film industry. I've done plenty of convention work and miss it terribly. I used to work as an Audio/Visual Tech at The Green Valley Ranch and I too hate Plasma's!! Have you heard of...

    Shuron Glasses

    Shuron was the makers of the classic Brownline. As I stated in my post above, you can get them fairly cheap from Shuron direct (if you can't find a dealer that carries them locally). I paid $97.00 for mine. http://www.shuron.com/ronsir_zyl.htm

    Shuron Glasses

    I just bought my Revelation frames from Shuron directly, saving about $50.00 http://www.shuron.com http://www.shuron.com/ronsir_rev.htm Just email them and ask for Tony. He'll send you about 3 frames of different sizes to choose from when he gets a deposit. Just pick the one you want...

    Where are the Great Steak Houses??????

    If any of you ever get to Vegas, you HAVE to go to The Golden Steer. It's still vintage 50's and has some of the best steak I have ever had (I love steak). This is the place old Hollywood stars, including all of the Rat Pack ate and hung out in while in Sin City. It still retains it's classic...

    OT - Rapid Heart Rate Anyone?

    I watched "Mystery Diagnosis" on Discovery Health and someone also had a very fast heart rate and no one could figure out why. Sometimes it would put this fellow into the emergency room. After many test, they found out he had Sleep Apnea. The lack of oxygen to his brain would trigger a panic...

    The Dreaded Dennis Semler

    There is a tax revolution going on in Indiana at the moment. Property taxes went up (100% for some) and Hoosiers took to the capital. Enough ruckus was raised that the governor had to step in. He is promising to lower property taxes permanently to 1%. There is a group that is advocating...

    Goodwill Hunting

    We didn't have a Goodwill in Hawaii while I was growing up, but we did have a Salvation Army and a Savers. I have found many old bowling and gab shirts at these places and my goldmine was finding three mint gabardine Ricky jackets, size large for $5.00 each. These were rock and roll all the...

    New Job...but how to dress??

    I say wear what you want. If the person that interviewed you didn't bother to dress up, then it seems they don't care how their employees look except for them wearing logo attire that they sell. I'd wear your vintage, mixed and matched (but in good way). Set yourself apart. People tend to...

    Is it The End Of Newspapers?

    I am a non-syndicated cartoonist and this has been a topic for 20 years. Cartoonist think that one of the major contributing factors for the decline of newspaper readership is the dwindling comics sections. Back in the golden era, the comics sections were HUGE with full page works of...

    Bell UH-1 Huey

    Well, it could be debated that the Hind-A came out in the early to mid-70's, but no one can confirm it because of the Soviet's tight secrecy on it. The west didn't get any pics of it until the late 70's.

    What are you wearing today??

    Not to derail the thread, but Zinn's Diner is gone? I too am a diner lover. Do you have the wonderful doc made in 1993 called "Pennsyvania Diners and Other Roadside Restaurants"?

    Bell UH-1 Huey

    I served in the US Army's PSYOPS unit at Fort Bragg in the mid-1980's and we used to place loundspeakers in Hueys and Blackhawks and blast "Ride of the Valkyries" while in Central America. Though it would be cool to have a Huey, I'd prefer one of these badboys:

    Changing my 'everyday style' to that of the Golden Era?

    Well, if we want society to get back to being better dressed, it begins one person at a time. I have been wearing 50's shirts for 20 years. I normally mix vintage with modern just so I don't look completely out of place. I am one not to go back in time, but take the look of yesteryear and...

    Royal Crown or anything petroleum based will not stiffen up.

    Pomade

    Growing up in Hawaii, I used Tancho for years. It's an Indonesian pomade.It comes in a push up tube. It has a lot of bees wax in it so you liiterally have to soften it up with a hairdryer as you apply it. It's hard to get here on the mainland and it's not cheap. Also from Hawaii is...

    Now Forming! the Campaign Hat Corps

    I served in the Green Berets back in the mid-80's and it broke my heart when they issued black berets as official headgear for everyone. I also served as a DI and I loved wearing the campaign hat. I think you're right. We need to revitalize the Army again. I would like to see the brown...
