    What are you wearing today??

    This is SO my favorite. It's really sweet, and you're a lucky SOB. You probably know that, of course. ;) Congratulations, by the way, on the wonderful news. Tony

    Funny, odd, or the most absurd ads you have ever seen....

    Would you trust someone who likes to eat poo to cook for you? Imagine the recipes! ;)

    Is "Retromania" destroying culture?

    My old fencing master, Dr. Andrew von Boross, was a Hungarian, and the last fencing instructor at the Royal Hungarian Military Academy (which should tell you how old he was when *I* met him in 1974). He used to talk about how he and his wife escaped Commie Hungary by digging out under barbed...

    Well, you inspired me. I just put in a purchase offer for a "red nine" Mauser on gunsAmerica.com. :)

    Film Noir?

    I love Tokyo Joe. Definitely a different Bogie.

    Show us your Guns!

    Hmmmm... So like the PPK, its design was copied by several manufacturers, then. (I have a Bersa T22, which is a 22lr "copy" of a PPKS.) Makes it a bit hard to know what to look for, given all those clones, but I really want one of those babies. Thanks for the info!

    How much do broomies go for these days, assuming one can find one?

    Show us your Guns!

    Oh, GOD, DUDE! That is my dream piece, complete with stock! I must hate you now, and envy you as well. Nothing personal, you understand. It's just my burning envy and avariciousness for that firearm.

    Classic Movies Seen In The Theater

    We have a wonderful art deco theatre here in Franklin called the Artcraft (built by my grandfather, and for a time owned by him!). They show classic films a few times a month. Their Halloween movie was Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein and I've also seen such flicks there as The Maltese...

    Dating Etiquette

    Correct. She was about two steps behind me, so I just opened the door and stepped aside -- exactly the same thing I would have done if a man had been two steps behind me (five steps and he's on his own ;) ).

    All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

    Ah, thanks. I thought it might be something like that.

    I'd think "legged" sleeping bags would be great if you have to get up at night to go to the bog -- but there's no critical area access in that thing. So much for that idea.
