    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Tatum -- looks really cool, but ... um.... wasn't there supposed to be a plane or two there? ;) Sunshine State, eh? I grew up in Miami, did college at FSU, lived in Gainesville, spent time in the Mouse Infested City...

    The Bowler or Derby Hat

    Wow, indeed! No, I didn't -- but now I can't UN-notice it. :)

    House histories?

    My house was designed and built my my father, an architect and city planner, in 1953. It is a very odd dual-sloped-roofed flattish ranch with huge windows. His trademark was huge vertical picture windows in groups of three. My house has 'em, his other house has 'em, and other other houses he...

    The Kings Speech - a Critique

    "Purple-headed womb ferret" is my new favorite "naughty-bit" euphemism. :)

    Repurposing vintage items, where to draw the line

    I am a great admirer of mediaeval calligraphy and illumination. I was given a couple of framed pages from a mediaeval psalter and another book. One was 13th C, one mid 14th. So what that means is that there are people out there who buy mediaeval books AND CUT THEM UP AND SELL THEM ONE PAGE...

    Kippers

    Okay, dang it. I have to know. Is there anything I, as a benighted resident of the American midwest, do, that would approximate what you folks are talking about? Here's the thing: I open a can of this. Then I drain off the juice (which, if I had a cat, would go into the cat's kibble bow)...

    Fedora on a Segway....

    Y'know, I think if I had a Segway, I *would* put a hobby-horse head on it. Cause the thing *needs* a bit of self-realized giggle-try about it. They're just so hard to take seriously any other way.

    Tattoos.

    I'm just having mental giggles about the juxtaposition of "sons being born", "took eight hours," and "done in one sitting." :cool: That's colorful as heck. I'm generally not a tattoo fan, but that's quite a work of art there. How do the sons like being represented by flowers? ;)

    Kippers

    I love kippers, too. (And so did my cat!) The only thing I could ever find were the tinned variety. Apparently, I really don't know kippers, or how to eat them. I am looking forward to a good education. ;)

    Classic One Liners and Quotes

    Oh, Lordy. I love that movie. Peggy Hopkins Joyce, upon seeing a bunch of oddly colored mix-breed kittens: "What do you think their parents were?" WC Fields: "Careless, my little cupcake, careless." --- International House PHJ: "Wait, I'm sitting on something..." WCFields: "I lost *mine* in...

    Stetson Employee Handbook

    You officially rock. :) I've always been interested in how the introduction of "machinery" to the "wild" west changed things. Being a writer myself, I'm particularly interested in how the introduction of printing presses into once isolated communities produced (1) stronger senses of local...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I am very much with you. I have several dictionaries -- including many I refer to as "bug killers." My specialty is medieval Japanese history, and I have eight dictionaries of Classical Japanese alone. (Yeah, I'm pathetic.) I know many people who love their little pocket electronic...
