Classic small-town movie theatres
There's a wonderful old theatre here in Franklin called "The Artcraft" -- my grandfather built it. :) They show classic movies two days a week, now. The theatre really is a thing of beauty, and of times gone by. This week they're showing "An Affair to Remember" (I love Cary Grant!) and next...- Effingham

Classic One Liners and Quotes
From a noir whose title has been forgotten: "We'll just have to wait. They say patience is a virtue." "Who says that?" "Patient, virtuous people?"- Effingham

Excellent. Thanks. I'll be moving into the new house in about 4-6 weeks, so I'll be getting in touch once I have an idea of what wall spaces I need to inflict art on. :) Tony -

Chrysler "Style" Commercial
I recall that when he was young, my dad's first car (he was born in 1912) was an Auburn boat-tail speedster. I've decided that if I sell the next book and get enough bux, I'm going to be buying a replica one, also in green like his. Hell, I live in one of the houses he built -- might as well...- Effingham

My, but I loved that show. :) Now I can't read the books without picturing Fry and Laurie. -
Chrysler "Style" Commercial
I almost feel like that commercial was a bait-and-switch. But the general tone of it -- the message -- was something I could get behind and agree with. It's just their... ah, execution... that causes me to twitch a bit. Tony- Effingham

20 Obsolete English Words that Should Make a Comeback
I frequently get e-mails from people asking for my help on some research project or other, and more often than not they are semi-literate, run-on sentences with "OMG!" and so forth in them. This is not how I was raised. If one wishes to ask for help or information, but doesn't take the few...- Effingham

20 Obsolete English Words that Should Make a Comeback
Ah, a very homespun expression. Hey, whatever happened to "homespun"? Don't hear that too often these days, either. Very much to the point, too, is today's "Pearls Before Swine":- Effingham

Ah, excellent. I was hoping it was something like that. So a charcoal herringbone cap, for example, would be okay with a grey checked tweed coat...? Tony (Planning a shopping spree) -

Oh, my... I use that one all the time. :) And the problem *I* have with the word "broad" is it tends to get applied too often to the seat of my pants. :(- Effingham

The Cap Faction
You know, I've often wondered about these caps -- What are the "rules" regarding caps in herringbone or some plaid-ish pattern being worn with tweed or plaid-ish coats? Should they match? Should one avoid a gray cap with a brownish coat, and vice-versa? Should one try to match caps with coats...
