    Show us your Guns!

    The 45-70 is a poor choice for Cape Buffalo. There are many better choices, especially in double rifle. Not that it couldn't kill one, but there are several choices which put the odds in your favor. And when you speak of dangerous game, which can snuff you out quickly, I like the idea of odds...

    RIP VHS is Dead

    I agree that seeing a movie on the big screen is fun, for me it isn't very practical. First the expense of going to the show for a family is now a deterrent. With small kids I always end up seeing g movies or egads High School musical or some other nonsense. I refused to go to that one by the...

    RIP VHS is Dead

    Actually I think you are confusing two formats. The discs that came out in the early 80' did not have a good picture at all. They looked like records and were in large sleeves. You put the sleeve into the machine and it would take the disc out and give you back the sleeve. You always had to...

    The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

    I went to one of those a few weeks ago. I didn't get any comments on my fedora (I never get even slightly negative comments on my hats), but I do have a very zorro-esque old Stetson. I should have worn it, though it still wouldn't make me look even remotely like Zorro.. And yes, if you don't...

    Guitars

    George Gruhn had one in his shop not too long ago, I remember. I honestly don't know if he still has it. By the way, if you seek a hard to find or collectors guitar or the finest examples of vintage guitars, the best shop in the world is Gruhn Guitars in downtown Nashville. George Gruhn...

    Guitars

    I've heard they are a pretty good guitar. I'd ask around and see how folks compare them with the Epiphones made today of the same styling. It's still not what you'd call a cheap guitar. They have some unique qualities, but I have not played one so I do not know. Course now if you want the...

    Guns and shooting advice?

    I have never heard of that happening, ever. Hopefully the owner will do something about it. That is complete bovine scattalogy.

    Camptown?

    They may be 80/20 rabbit to beaver. My assumption was you meant it was 80 /20 beaver/rabbit. It definitely is not that. That is the typical staple body and for $175 I'm certain it is a staple body.

    The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

    I read the book long ago. It truly is a queer tale. I must admit that it gave me, for the lack of a better word or phrase, the heebee jeebees, with a sense of melancholy at the end. I think anyone interested in seeing the movie or having seen it, owes it to themselves to read the book. As...

    The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

    Nice reply. I would use a word other than goof personally, and probably much coarser. But, I love the implementation of Sir Winston wit in your response. It is always a pleasure to be able to throw out Churchill at someone.

    Thank you for the clarification.

    Camptown?

    I was under the impression he was using the new block. There was supposed to be a mass manufacture of I thought, the Crystal skull made by someone other than Steve. I thought Ken was that person. That is the info I had. Mabe you are right and the hat he was mass making was the original...

    Hat/suit color

    I'm not sure of how rules today relate to the Golden Era when hats were so popular. I think matching and contrasting are both great. I think they probably were both used then too. Remember today many of us have many many hats and still want a few more, and in different shades of colors...

    Camptown?

    I believe he also had a copy of the block used for the last Indy movie didn't he? Wasn't he supposed to be the guy to sell the mass made Adventurebilt hats that we all heard about? I wonder what happens to that? Seems a good project for some of our other hatters . Besides the probs listed...
