    Like hell it's yours! Hat cards

    Ahhh. Then shouldn't they be encouraging theft. "Looks better than yours (and the other guy's not looking)."

    Like hell it's yours! Hat cards

    A quaint reminder of the days when there were hat check people who might make a mistake now and again. If anyone walks off with a hat these days, a card is not going to cause them to return it. PS: Anyone keep a sawbuck in their sweat for emergency use?

    Remakes and Sequels: Then And Now

    Ring of Fire performed by Johnny Cash is a cover version. It was recorded at least once before he added the horn section and made it his own.

    Get Smart, the movie

    Bluntness welcome! Steve Carrell is a funny guy, but Get Smart was a spoof of the secret agent movies of the 60s and it just ain't the 60s anymore. Remember this one:Leave it to Beaver (1997) No? Well, make room in that file for Get Smart (2007).

    They lost his trousers....

    Oops. Imagine the brouhaha if they'd given him the wrong trousers!

    Missed Open Road

    Depending on how many auctions you plan to bid on per week free snipes are avaiable. If you sign up for multiple snipe programs you increase the number of free snipes you have available. Share the love I say, and keep prices on smelly old hats down here where the riff raff can get a whiff at them.

    Missed Open Road

    Not exactly one of a kind and not really a great example of an OR (also, are you a long oval, because if not it might not have even fit properly). You'll find a better one in no time.

    Friday the 13th (1980)

    Loved it at the time....:D not so much when I stopped being thirteen. [huh] Funny that Jason was only there for the "Carrie moment" while it was his mum, Betsy Palmer, who did all the heavy stabbing. If it came out now they'd call it F13 or something, and it wouldn't be Bing's little...

    Remakes and Sequels: Then And Now

    Disturbia Disturbia stars some callow kid with a hideous name like Shasta Au Jus or something like that. Not on my to-see list.

    Noir Novels/Hard Boiled Fiction

    I just read Raoul Whitfield's The Virgin Kills, which isn't on the O'Brien list for some reason, for the first time last month. It was a lot of fun. I've read so much of this stuff that it's nice to be reminded why I loved it in the first place. It read like a film of the time and I even...

    A Culture of Snark

    It's true. Somewhere along the way satire devolved into mere snark. It shows up all over. The IMDB boards are especially pathetic for their combination of mama's-basement tough guy snarkiness and imbecilic fandom - but that also makes them funny in a look at the nerd kind of way :D (Am I...

    A Painless Classical Education

    I don't know if you can get what can be called an education without someone to act as guide, mentor, animateur or whatever. I mean, I can tell you to sit down and read Ulysses, but without someone to put the book in context, to talk with about it, to guide you through the tougher bits and...

    Me too. They make nice medicine cabinet decorations.

    Pomade

    As a long time collector of hair product I can say that it doesn't quite beat stamps as a hobby but it does give a lonely boy something to do on a Sunday night.

    Are you aware that I have not owned a Television for 5 years?

    I don't have cable and I've gone for such long periods of time without a tv that I'm not really in the habit of watching it. I turn it on if there is something I want to watch - like Lost or Heroes or Intelligence, or The National or TVO's Saturday Night at the Movies - or if I want to watch a...
