    Advice and ideas regarding proposals

    Another... ...thought. As I was working in the yard yesterday, another idea occurred to me. You could say something like: "I was on the Internet and I saw that Jolene Blalock, the actress who was in Enterprise and Jason and the Argonauts proposed to her boyfriend. What do you think of a...

    Advice and ideas regarding proposals

    Ladies... ...please excuse my intrusion. I've started surfing the "new posts". As far as a woman proposing, it depends on the couple. No one knows better than you if it would be well or poorly received. My guess is you wouldn't get considering it if you thought it would be a problem. I...

    New boots - opinions?

    I think those... ...are Air Force or Navy flying boots. The speed laces seem to be gone. The way they are supposed to work is: they normally have a small metal device on the laces that tightens them rather than tying them. the extra is wrapped around the top of the boot and the flap is...

    Dating etiquette

    In the year 3535... ...Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies Everything you think, do, or say Is in the pill you took today... Alternatively we could start by recognizing the fatuousness of Foucault and Rousseau. You can't build a better man starting with a bad plan, Stan.

    What do you think of the Indiana Jones hats?

    Is it possible... ...there are more than two IJ hats? I was at a hat store in Norfolk a couple of weeks ago, and a salesman I'm friendly with showed me an official IJ hat. It was in a logo box, and the liner was maroon, with gold trim, also with IJ logo. Bill told me it was beaver and...

    A saetey razor, a safety razor, my kingdom for a saftey razor!

    Edward... ...I think you might want to consider it the other way around. Keep your current razor and get a decent badger brush and some great soaps. What some folks call "Gourmet Shaving" isn't just razors. You are in great luck because some of the best brushes, soaps and aftershaves...

    Dating etiquette

    Where do... ...I start? I'm old now, but I was a good looking young man. Unfortunately bad luck, occasional desperation, and slow thinking created a vast supply of "bad dates." At a dinner out with someone I was very interested in, a cockroach ran across the table. No second chance...

    A saetey razor, a safety razor, my kingdom for a saftey razor!

    I suppose... ...I shouldn't say too much Edward. There are shaving sites that go into excruciating detail on every aspect of the shave. Given differing skill levels, attention to detail, steadiness of hand, follicle thickness, hair density, growth direction, etc, etc, there is a potential...

    Is Swearing a Vice?

    Well... ...an entire life around the military hasn't done me much good. To paraphrase Ralphie in A Christmas Story, I can work in profanity they way artists work in oils. However, I think Fleur De Guerre, Miss Brill, or LizzieMaine swearing would be kind of racy.

    In praise of non-vintage classics

    I love reading about and seeing all the vintage items here. The posts are fascinating and well written. I can't tell you all how much I've learned. However, there is something to be said for new things made in the classic style. My wardrobe is 100% new, as practically everything we have...

    A saetey razor, a safety razor, my kingdom for a saftey razor!

    Generally... ...speaking, the heavier your beard, the less you need something beyond a cartridge razor. When someone tells me they don't see better results from a DE, I believe them, but consider the reason is a light to moderate beard. If you have a truly heavy beard (like me), no Sensor...

    Favorite cigar & hat combination...

    I love... ...cigars enough for them to get to be a bad habit fast, so I ration myself to one a month. I take a daily 1/2 hour walk and like a 1/2 hour cigar during my walk. Whichever fedora I'm wearing gets the smoke.

    Blackeyed Peas? Who had them?

    We're a... ...bit late this year. Mrs Mid-fogey wanted fondue for dinner. We have all the makings -- just didn't git to it. I always heard that the blackeye peas were for good luck, the greens were for money, and the pork was to not look back (because pigs can't look over their shoulders...
