    FL Cult Films

    'How I Won The War', directed by Richard Lester and starring future 'Phantom' star, Michael Crawford. My two personal cult favorites are 'Swell Hogan' and 'The Day the Clown Cried'. And I think the film being discussed above was 'The Producers', in which the two producers are trying to waste...

    Landseaire flying yacht

    You know, the Silorsky S-38 (that we saw so prominently in 'The Aviator') was marketed as 'The Explorers Air Yacht', and for the rich of Howard Hughes' caliber, it certainly was. Here is an interior shot of the modern replica, 'Osa's Ark' that does the air show circuit. -dixon cannon

    Tale Of A City

    This U.S. Government issued booklet, 'Tale Of A City' has been in my possession my entire life. It arrived in my Dad's mailbox in 1942. It tells the story of the Nazi occupation of Poland and the Warsaw Ghetto to newly engaged Americans at our start in WWII. I don't imagine there are too many...

    Why you love Bomber Jackets. (its bomber jacket season again!)

    Thor, we are soul-mates! Check out my Jake Cutter inspired Avatar. When I wear my 'bomber' and my USAAF cap with no badge, I carry a map of the Marivellas and a letter of introduction from the Grand Duchy of Wotanberg / Seiber Islands Administration Department of Commerce. Of course I carry...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Here's a curious little story. I'm a non-drinker. Last night, due to some particularly grievous news I decided to have a little nip from my father's old flask (pictured). It contains years old Jim Beam Bourbon and hasn't been opened in years. I grabbed a shot glass and commenced to pour a...

    Pvt. Louis Buckley, USA 1945 Siegfriend Line 'Dragon's Teeth'

    Obviously this is the wrong group to show this one to! I have had so many responses from my FB friends on this. It blows my mind how differently our mind's eye sees! -dixon cannon

    Pvt. Louis Buckley, USA 1945 Siegfriend Line 'Dragon's Teeth'

    Hoosier Daddy: Not at all. Some people have the ability to see things beyond the objective image. Some see thing in clouds, some in smoke. Hell, some people see Jesus in their Egg McMuffin. If you don't see anything in the highlights and shadows on the this particular image, just say so...

    Why you love Bomber Jackets. (its bomber jacket season again!)

    One word: 'Twelve O'Clock High', the television series with Robert Lansing as General Frank Savage. Ok. Thirteen words; but you get the message! -dixon cannon

    Pvt. Louis Buckley, USA 1945 Siegfriend Line 'Dragon's Teeth'

    I had posted this old photo of my Uncle Lou on another board and a discussion began about the woman's face that appears in the boulder in front of him. I've attached a close-up of the rock and a sketch I made from my screen. Let me know if you too see the face of the weeping woman, leaning...

    A-2 Jackets from "12 O'Clock High"

    In the TV series of 'Twelve O'Clock High', I always like the fact that Gen. Frank Savage (Robert Lansing) had attached a 'ciggie pocket' to the left upper arm of his A2. Scene after scene he reaches in for a 'Lucky Strike' while barking some order or another! -dixon cannon

    Macy's Longest-Serving Employee Retires after 73 years

    That is literally the end of an era! I haven't been able to stick with one job more that ten years! After about seven, my heart just isn't in it anymore. God bless her! -dixon cannon

    Nutria supply!

    I've often thought this same thing Annixter. I would think that Nutria would go a long way in feeding the world's hungry. Butchered, processed, freeze dried, jerky... I would think that some Hollywood altruist would be on this in a heartbeat for a charitable cause. Homeless people employed...

    INDY STRAW FEDORA

    You know, I like the hat but I can't stand Peters Brothers. I went all the way to Fort Worth personally to be measured for a custom hat. The representative bragged about all the celebrities that they make hats for. He took my measurements and I never heard another word from them. I called...

    The Buckminster Fuller 'Dymaxion Car' - saw it in a newsreel prior to the start of the feature (it was shot on film so it counts!!!!) ≈

    Indy Straw, US Wings Jacket, Eddie Bauer, Aldens

    Correct me if I'm wrong; that hat size would be just about a 7 3/8 or size 59 (Large), is that correct? I love the hat. Must find funds!! -dixon cannon
