    Poll: Button or snaps on your suspenders?

    Button suspenders are also superior because they require buttons. :D And if your trousers do not have suspender-buttons, and you cannot figure out :eek: how to sew them on [huh] , then you have failed a basic IQ test and do not deserve to wear them. :eusa_doh: So I like the weeding-out effect...

    Exciting archaeological discoveries....

    Always good to remain skeptical. But here are the flaws in that article, and it was one-sided. Troia/Ilion/Ilios is the name of a settlement that was inhabited in the historic period (i.e. after the mythic period). Why would there not be a continuity with the previous settlement? This should...

    What are you wearing today??

    Handsome devil. Now I need (not want, but need) an Edwardian fox umbrella. Why do you people keep doing this to me?

    Paranormal Activity

    OK. IT'S SETTLED. It's settled. I am going to make a movie. With less than $10,000. In fact, with no money. I have a digital video camera. One thing is for sure: any script I write will be about 8 thousand times better than Paranormal Activity's was.

    Poll: Button or snaps on your suspenders?

    I wore clip-on skinny suspenders when I was a punk in the 1980s. I've worn button ones since then.

    Joseph Jefferson, great American 19th century actor

    Very cool. It's so wonderful how people on the Lounge know about so many things.

    The morning after...Ow... my eyes...Hangover help.

    Perhaps I already wrote this -- I am way too lazy to reread this whole thread -- but there is a soup in Poland that you drink solely for hangovers. It's white. Quite nice. You can get it in packets at Polish delis in the USA, too.

    Paranormal Activity

    You're on the wrong thread, mon ami -- for surely you must have meant to enter that on the Annoying Phrase Thread. :p lol ;) Fair enough, and you are right: I do want to encourage people to make small films. Yes. However, they need to do it intelligently. Blair Witch Project was also a $50...

    Norfolk Jacket

    Any chance we could see this fabric? See, there are times when I could pull it off. Sometimes I shave my head completely bald. On those occasions, I feel more confident about things like octagon glasses and large patterns.

    Norfolk Jacket

    Yes, Bookster, that is very fair, and I also thank you for posting that. I would feel like a doofus in such bold patterns, but some folks could make it work. I'm sure the jacket looks very nice in a more subdued herringbone or cheviot.

    Joseph Jefferson, great American 19th century actor

    Fascinating article/book review from the always-great New York Review of Books, October 22, on the American sensation Joseph Jefferson. He had a Dickensian youth, pulled himself up and toured the country acting, was close friends with John Wilkes Booth, he acted in Australia, England, and...

    Show us your vintage home!

    First of all, Claire, welcome to the Lounge. I'm sure you'll meet a lot of like minded folks here. Second, your situation has certain advantages, actually: you won't have to get rid of e.g. a bunch of 1980s Danish blonde wood and move in dark wood antiques like a lot of people had to. When...

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    Lucretius says "joining the majority" for dying. I like that. I used it in a speech at a memorial for a dear friend of mine who died, and who was a young, bright latinist.

    Do "today's rockers" wear the brim up? I have not noticed. Do tell?

    Yes, i think John in Covina has a good point here.

    FEDORAS IN SELF DEFENCE

    Yes. Using your fedora and your cane as a stick allows the following explanation: "Mr. Feraud just didn't know what to do, your honor. The man charged him and Mr. Feraud's hat flew off his head, and naturally he raised his cane in self defense. It is true that the assailant had no weapon, but...
