    Rest in Peace Colby Jack

    Oh, man. I'm still new here, but I hate hearing this sort of thing. Each man lost weakens us all. My condolences to his friends and family, and my prayers for all. Tony

    Show us your vintage home!

    Lizzie, my cousin Jimmie has that same big radio in his living room. I hate him for it. :) I'm finally about to start getting furniture for the new house, and my problem is that I *really* like four styles: Moroccan/Arab chic, Japanese tansu, Victorian (lots of carved wood and frouffy padding)...

    The Kings Speech - a Critique

    I recall reading that HRM Elizabeth placed a great deal of blame for her father's early death on her uncle's abdication, thrusting George into a position he had not been expecting or trained for, and a sudden war he had to instantly rise to deal with.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    When I moved back from Japan in 1992, one of the things I wanted to do was get a new set of Britannicas to replace the ones from my childhood that had gone away many years before. So I called up the nice folks at Britannica and asked them if they could send someone around to whom I could talk...

    Star Trek

    No, that was the 1972 one. (It's so sad that I know this. Fandom, thou art a cruel mistress!) And, sadly, it never was. :cool: Tony

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Just tonight, I watched the 1942 film, "This Gun for Hire" (starring Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake). Early in the movie, it reminded me of something that we don't see anymore. Alan Ladd, playing Raven, the hitman, enters a walkup apartment building, and sitting on the landing is a little girl...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Just tonight, I watched "This Gun for Hire." Early in the movie, it also reminded me of something that we don't see anymore (as is the theme of another thread).

    Hello from a new member!

    I'm pretty new myself. It feels a bit presumptuous for me to say "welcome," but... well, hi. :) Tony

    Oh, I grew up with Jell-O with a veritable fruit cocktail in it. The more savory versions of gelatin freak me out.

    Unfortunate food, fortunately forgotten

    In all the discussions on Golden Age clothing, beverages (usually adult ones -- scotch, martinis, etc.) and even Golden Age gadgets (and things that have "disappeared"), I've never seen this one: Remember some of those really interesting food-like things people used to make and serve at...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Saw that again last week. I love that movie. Why has no hot French teenager ever thrown herself at ME? <sob> Getting ready to watch "Algiers." Great flick.

    Film Noir?

    Doug, I'll be following this with bated breath. If I were still a newspaper editor, I'd be giving you some ink to get the publicity going. :(
