    What do you look like?

    lol Awr, gwarsh - thanks, ladies, you are too kind. Alas, that I've no vintage items, or I'd have more pics. That one is from the one meetup I've made locally. I guess I will switch up my avatar.

    Club 33

    Wow, that's the deal of a lifetime. I used to frequent the alt.disney.disneyland newsgroup, and we'd often get reports from folks lucky enough to get an invite there. If I recall, a reservation includes admittance to the park. Plus, it's the only place in Disneyland to get a tipple, how could...

    What do you look like?

    Now having just re-fixed Wm. Powell as my avatar, I should probably just switch to this:

    What will happen to all our digital photos?

    Well, when dealing with my parents estate, we did, in fact, get a lot of the old Super 8 and other types of movies scanned into DVD, then distributed 'em to the family. I know we have a huge pile of photos in a trunk, but I admit I haven't looked through most of 'em. Were they digital, we'd...

    The Curse of Indiana Jones

    I must admit, I only have acquired two hats so far - got 'em not too long after joining the lounge. One straw Baily for when it's sunny, and a brown fedora Stetson. When I saw the movie was coming out, I gave serious thought to getting a different colored felt to tide things over. But, it...

    Share you senior pics or yearbook pics?

    I recall I had feathered hair, for all of about a week, that included my senior pic. After that, I went spikey-punk.

    The Great Mac vs. Windows Debate

    My personal take on purchasing hardware is, in general, buy as much as you can afford. If it's not a big thing to spend the extra for higher end (in this case, MacPro), do it - it will help it last longer. If that is a big thing - and for most people, $1500 is - then I'd go with the general...

    The Great Mac vs. Windows Debate

    Ahh, always love the Mac vs. Windows holy wars. :p Some things since I last checked in - Yes, you can upgrade some Macs just fine, and there are lots of third party things for 'em. It's also certainly true that many Macs are less upgradeable than the typical WinTel PC, and PC's typically...

    The nicest comment I ever heard

    So yesterday (a Friday), I was a little tired and distracted in the AM. I had to rush out the door to make my train, and in that rush, forgot my hat (a brown Stetson fedora). I realized it a few blocks away, but looked at the time, and decided I had to press on if I wanted to make the last train...

    Penny farthing

    Alas, when I read the thread title, the two things that popped to mind for me, in order, were: The Penny Farthing Pub, attached to the Olde England Inn, a medieval themed inn that was in Victoria, BC, where I stayed several times (including honeymoon). It closed, and has since re-opened...

    GAMERS of the Lounge!

    Oik, evil thread. Things have been busy of late, so my gaming has been much reduced. However, the garage is full of many moving boxes, full of PC game boxes. I used to buy quite a lot. FPS's, WWI and WWII air sims, and so on. Currently, on the PC, I play WoW, a little game called Slay, and...

    Longtime Loungers...do you think the Lounge has changed a great deal?

    It is pretty impressive, that way, compared to other boards and/or lists I've seen. I can only think of one other email list (a Nautical Fiction list I'm on) that is similar, and it too has discussed some topics to death, and changed a bit. As many have pointed out, even if new folk act the...

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

    I also know we have a Ruth's Chris that some folks like. I went for lunch once, and the service and food were excellent, I thought. I've been to the Met (love it) and El Gaucho (also loved it, but it does get referred to as "El Gouge-o").

    Fedoras in France

    I must admit, it makes me want to visit. Which is good, because both the popular view and my fathers personal views were the "French are rude" line. My dad had a couple of bad experiences. One (not even the fault of the French) was merely French Canadians - who were speaking English. He came...

    Is Style Biological?

    You mean philological? I've cheated, of course - there's a check box under "additional options" that's called "Disable smilies in text" - that's what you want.

    Help!!! - Mac Hard Drive Trouble

    Excellent advise on backing up. Always a good idea, unfortunately, often seems hard to get people to put into regular practice (myself included).

    At the foot of the flatiron building 1903

    Interestingly, when walking about downtown (Seattle) with my hat on some recent very windy days, I did the same thing - ran around with my hand on the brim. Didn't really think about it much at the time. I think partially, it's that if it's that windy, if you run around without your hat on, your...

    Classic Arcade and Video Games

    Some games stand the test of time - normally ones that were built on solid game play. Some just seem better in retrospect. I did play a lot of Joust. I do remember also going down to the arcade at the Seattle Center to play Space Wars quite a bit. And still, one of my all-time favorite...

    I will probably be in Seattle in November

    And be sure to ask if you need anything, especially local info wise.

    I'll have a Scotch...

    Well, I'm a Laphroaig drinker myself - it's my default malt. I think I have three bottles (one is cask strength) upstairs at the moment. The Macallan is my favorite "smooth" taste. One I do like which I haven't seen mentioned is Highland Park.
