    If You Had Your Own Radio Program

    Interesting Question. Mine would be a variety show. I would have an hour show, with a different theme for each quarter hour, depending on the length of the story. There would be comedy, drama, suspense and mystery, comedic suspense and mystery, news and interviews. Lee

    Royal Touch Control Typewriter

    Delivery time may be two days rather than two minutes, but it's far classier and much more personal. :) Lee

    Melrose Diner Clock (It's arrived, and I have pictures)

    That's beautiful, Dinernam! I love clocks and that one is quite unique. Would love to have one like it. Lee

    Jeff Goldblum

    Same is true of Jay Leno, which is why he goes out to as many car shows as he does in a year. And as I menteioned in another thread, I've met him five times and he's always very friendly; he loves cars, car shows, his fellow car enthusiasts and his fans. He's more than happy to stop for a...

    WONK: the Chaos Reigns Players

    It certainly started in the middle of something! I have NO idea what's going on. I'm guessing extracting damsel's cabooses from cabooses so that they may swoon at our heroship? If this mission does include damsels, would someone please clue me in? I'd be more than willing to help. lol Lee...

    Special Features

    My favorite DVD special features would have to be those for Hellboy, V for Vendetta and The Incredibles. Deleted scenes are a must, for me. Especially if they're for an animated feature, such as the "deleted scenes" they added to Monsters Inc. I love seeing how movies are made. For instance...

    Bucky

    My condolences, Carter. We all know your pain. In the course of the year 2005-2006, I lost two cats that I'd had for fifteen and sixteen years, Jane Doe and John Doe, respectively. They were complete opposites in personality. Just this morning I was looking at my new cat, 'Tilla, and I saw the...

    The Villain

    Ahh, The Villain! My favorite line from that movie (It's been a while, so I'm paraphrasing): "How many women have you kissed?" "Counting you?" "Yes." "One." Lee ___________________________ :D

    The Villain

    See my Avatar I can't say he was an "anti-hero", but Robert Benchley's writing style was known as "anti-heroic". I know I always cheer when I read his works. :) Lee ______________________________ "There are some men here to flood the bed for skating." - one of Charles MacGregor's more...

    Glaring Film Gaffs! (Or: The Dry Look in 1917?)

    I had a couple books by Bill Givens - Film Flubs and Son of Film Flubs. Fun, fun books. For some odd reason, I gave them away. [huh] Watch The Wizard of Oz carefully. Dorothy's hair ranges from just below her shoulders to almost waist-length. Of the many things I remember (see above), and...

    Weird Pocket Finds

    Not a "pocket find", really, but I found one of these bonnets in the glove box of my Chrysler when I got it home. But it didn't have a case. It's still in the glove box. :) In another thread, I showed a few records of classical music that were in the trunk. I once worked for a uniform...

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    In the '60s . . . Made by A.I. Morrison & Co. in Detroit, from 1961 to 1965, Lincoln would place a paperweight like this one in the glovebox of your new Continental before delivery to you. It would have your name on it. In 1966, the base was changed to a dark wood. I found this one at a...

    does it feel a little creepy wearing a dead person's clothing?

    Does it feel a little creepy . . . ? No. why should it? I'm sure at least one of the hats I bought from Mr. Lucky belonged to someone who is long gone. My father's long gone, and I have the wool coat that he wore while in the army. I have two antique pocket watches; one belonged to my...

    How Many States Have You Visited?

    I live in California, but I've been to Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico (by mistake), Utah, Idaho, Montana, and Virginia. I've also been to Mexico: Tiajuana twice, and I took a train trip from Mexicali to Puerto Penasco and back. Lee

    The Complicated Human Species

    No it wouldn't, because too many people wouldn't believe it'd whiten their teeth, but rather that it'd make their teeth more yellow. :eek: Camera guns, (explosive?) urine toothpaste . . . what else did you get in that 007 kit? :D Personally, I often tire of shaving. At those times I...

    strangest, weirdist or just plain wrong toy from your youth

    I went to an art store with mom, one sister and one brother on Friday (before our slide show) and saw some bubblegum cigarettes at the checkout counter. I hought they'd been outlawed! If we ever meet and you aim any of your cameras at me. . . . :D I remember that a friend had Pulsar...

    My Sister's Treat

    I took yesterday off from work. My reason? My sister spent a couple of weeks going through hundreds of slides of our family and placing them in projector carrosels - a total of 800 slides were viewed, and about 150 more that were, in most cases, pictures duplicating others that weren't. I'm...

    Jay Ward's Fractured Flickers

    "Once again it's time for Fractured Flickers, or as it is known in the trade, 'Down Memory Lane with Axe and Crowbar.' " If you've never seen Fractured Flickers, find it and you'll be in for a treat. Think "What's Up Tiger Lily" or "Kung Pow: Enter the Fist," but in black and white and all...

    John Wayne Marathon on AMC...

    I saw two of them at a local bar. No, I'm not a drinker; I was at the bar helping a friend film another scene for his indie mockumentary. :D So, I guess that means I didn't really see any of the movies today. :rolleyes: Lee

    The Black Dahlia

    I've read but one book on The Black Dahlia, so far: Steve Hodel's Black Dahlia Avenger. Steve Hodel was with the LAPD for almost twenty-four years, and for many of those he was a detective. In his book he says that the murderer was Dr. George Hill Hodel. . . . His own father. I found James...
