    How Vintage Do You Go? -merged thread-

    I hate dishwashers. The biggest waste of time ever. I have never had one since I left my parents' house at 19. I have never missed them.

    Clinking glasses

    I clinked with 10 people last night at a Church of Sinatra outing. I guess I'm gauche.

    Clinking glasses

    There is also the variant in which all females present dance a version of the polka but to a Schubert lied and clink glasses, break them, engage in a mock knifefight with the shards, and then drink Ovaltine instead of wine. But that version is done only on alternate Tuesdays.

    Vintage Eyeglasses

    One of my criteria when selecting spectacles is that they must look believable and sinister if my line in a spy film would be "You'll be killed for that."

    Excellent. You look more Buddy Holly than early Elvis Costello did!

    Clinking glasses

    In the small neighborhood of exotic Los Angeles whence I originate, we all hold the glass between the fourth and fifth shirt button, pivot on the right heel, then land on the ball of the left foot, look at the person with whom we are toasting, then perform a pas de deux while chanting an ancient...

    Keeping stuff in your pockets

    Exactly. And let us remember the medical term: "super-pubic fatty patch." This horrid name alone should make one wish to wear high-waisted trousers which hide it ....

    Maguire, I always appreciate the vividness of your posts whether or not I agree 100%. And Foofoo, I find you are right on the money in all matters, certainly in these. LizzieMaine, I applaud your patience and, having myself been a manager in a customer service setting, you know I know that the...

    Keeping stuff in your pockets

    Fanny Packs?? If you can hold your gorge, the gore classic HOSTEL has the best take on fanny packs ... it's in the beginning before the sickness starts. You'll never wear one again. One solution no one has mentioned: higher-waisted trousers. The pocket slits won't be vomitting so much stuff...

    Vintage Eyeglasses

    A very strange pair I won on Ebay recently. They came from China. This is the picture from Ebay. They are copper with some bluish patina. They fit low on the nose. The arms have a hinge and look like the legs of a cricket. I imagine these to be worn in opium dens. I'm quite fond of them. My...

    How Vintage Do You Go? -merged thread-

    For us: no microwave (they smell disgusting), no credit cards (as soon as we got married, my wife and I paid those off), no constantly buzzing TV (it gets about 2 channels) but I use a cell phone. Text-messaging is like telegraphing. I don't really want to give up all technology because I...

    "Woman on the Run" (1950) with Anne Sheridan - SPOILERS

    Both those films plus 48 other old crime type films, mostly film noirs, are available in a boxed set that one can get on Amazon. It's called DARK CRIMES. The transfers are sub-optimal but watchable. I got the whole set for about $20. Very worth it, especially for rainy days, hungover mornings, etc.

    "Woman on the Run" (1950) with Anne Sheridan - SPOILERS

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~SPOILERS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I just watched this noir this morning with Little Egghead (see photo at left) and came out quite impressed. Anne Sheridan does a fine job as a disaffected wife with no children in San Francisco. She does not care much for her husband who sees a murder and...

    Yes, the latter. That way you can move them when you move. EDIT: unless you own the place and don't intend to move.

    You will only be able to get crap particleboard if you buy a shelf unit for the price of buying real wood to make one.
