That is interesting, was your Grandfather Catholic? Both of my Grandfather's wore their wedding bands their entire lives (one was working class his entire life, well the other started out as working class, and was during the Golden Age), one was a Catholic, well the other was married to a...
Every now and then you can watch a good old fashion boxing match on ESPN Classic. I myself enjoy watching the Rocky Marciano fights they show from time to time.
Question for all you boxing aficionado's out there when did bare knuckle stop, and why?
:offtopic:
I'd say it's the reverse hippie "thing". The hippie movement rejected everything from their parents generation. "Don't trust anyone over 30" being the battle cry of their community. So those of us who reject hippiedom tend to glorify the generate that they despised. Some people do...

Jeremy Brett liked to smoke anything with tobacco in it. Cigarettes, cigars, and pipes. Supposedly he'd smoke 3 packs a day on set, along with smoking his pipe and cigars.
Things like that have been happening through out history. It isn't a part of the past, present, or future, it is simply a part of the human condition. Kidnapping, murder, theft, rape, is the negative aspects of being in a community, the only way to completely avoid it is to become a hermit. That...
I always wear at the very lest a button up shirt, unless I'm at the gym, sleeping, or swimming.
I got into vintage through a combination of a general rejection of my generations style, a respect for my grandfather, and detective/mystery films and novels.
Before I joined I though I'd like...
I always think of Sherlock Holmes when I hear the word eccentric. Someone brilliant who happens to hide his cigars in the coal box, his pipe tobacco in the end of a Persian slipper, and starts the day by smoking the left over dottle from the day before.
To me I think of the guys who play a...
Alright fellow pipe smokers. It's the question that has destroyed countless friendships in the pipe smoking community, and its time we got some answers here. Matches or pipe lighter? Let the fight begin!
I agree 100 percent Lizzie. The most annoying kind of Professor IMHO is the one who tries to be everyone's best friend, and forgets what subject they are suppose to be teaching. I'm not paying thousands of dollars a semester to hear the life story of some aged hippie, who wants to be my "buddy"...
In a nice hat? A few times. Dressed in a vintage suit? Never. I'm usually the only one wearing a suit, none the less a vintage suit. For those who have worn a suit with me, it's usually modern.
The funny thing is you can usually save more money with a vintage suit (admittedly I have an aunt...
I'll take what I can get. I think people look better in cheap fedoras/trilbies compared to ballcaps. Change is slow. If hat's stay popular, styles will change. The question is simply will hats stay popular? Who knows [huh].
Although I hate the name I'd probably be Steampunk, and probably "preppy" on certain days.
BTW, I don't think it's the 80's that's looked down on, as much as the late 60's- 70's.
Well I also guess it depends where you live as well. Here in upstate NY in the heart of the Adirondacks, most of the judges would throw the "assault" case out, and most juries around here would be sympathetic to you. Unlike the city, self defense is a big thing up here (Probably why upstate has...
