    Style Apogee?

    Not likely to get any more stylish amongst the masses. See the film 'Idiocracy' to get a good look at our future. Clothing will become just an advertising medium with slogans and logos. -dixon cannon

    Songs That Express Your Philosophy of Life

    'One Day Soon' - Burton Cummings 1990 One day soon We'll understand Before we've gone too far One day soon We're meant to see Exactly who we are One day soon We'll understand When the story's told One day soon We're bound to know It will all unfold Fight for what's right and...

    Those flared 60's coats

    I couldn't resist.... This is my favorite '60's flaired coat style. After nearly forty years, I still like the look of this coat. ;) -dixon 'beatle' cannon

    Give your patriotism a boost here: Share what makes you feel patriotic

    "Benevolent Tyrant" is, at best, an oxymoron; Tyrants, by nature, are never benevolent. Someone is always oppressed by a Tyrant so that others can reap the benefits. No. For me, considering the history of the world and the governments we've seen, the Constitution of the United States of...

    Indy or the Hat

    There is no doubt the Harrison Ford and the charisma that he brings to the Jones character prompted an interest in the period and the the films of similar genre. That period, our 'Golden Era', in reflection looks exciting and glamorous and the fedora (ala Jones) seems dashing. I can't speak...

    Give your patriotism a boost here: Share what makes you feel patriotic

    We The People... Quite simply, reading the Constitution of the United States of America and the Bill of Rights and renewing my oath to protect it from enemies, both foreign and domestic - especially domestic! :eusa_clap -dixon cannon

    Stratoliner Memorabila Collection

    Here is my contribution (again!) for the last Stratoliner crash in history. The story of the crash is posted in that other Stratoliner thread. It's worth searching for! -dixon 'clipper' cannon

    What Are You Reading

    After seeing an lecture and a Q&A on CSPAN I picked up Chris Hedges book "American Fascists". A fascinating read about contemporary religio-political influences in America today. Rather frightening! -dixon cannon

    The Blue Max

    Pour Le Merite I always hated the fact that George refused to use a German accent - the only one in the film who didn't. But, on the other hand, I always loved that marching drum scene with Countess Kaeti von Klugermann in which Bruno seduces her with a drum stick. Made me practice my drums...

    Calling all fans of the Great Depression

    Originally Posted by ScionPI2005 The concept of building more close-knit ties to people is actually the one big thing I'm looking forward to if a large economic crash is to occur. Our society really needs to re-build those bonds. Some change can be good. This will be essential if we are to...

    Calling all fans of the Great Depression

    Well, I'm of the mind that we all will have the opportunity to have a 'Depression' experience of our own to tell our grandchildren - very soon, in fact! The worst part of a modern Depression will be the devalutation of the dollar - already devalued beyond the imagination of anyone who lived...

    R.I.P.Paul Newman 1925-2008

    Does anyone have a copy of the wonderful shot of Paul Newman portraying Errol Flynn as a swashbuckling pirate? It was taken in the late 50's, early '60's as part of a photo essay of actor portraying other actors. I don't recall the famous photog. Post it if you've got it, will you? Thanks...

    Formal dress khaki button shirt/s question.

    Apparently not... ...and it's my understanding that with the many combinable choices, there were a lot of varying styles. (One look at George Patton confirms that!) General Officers had a lot of latitude especially. The more pictures I look at, the more combinations I see - Khaki & OD...
