What is your favorite retro toy?
I always loved my Johnny Eagle Lieutenant .45 that shot real plastic bullets. I wish I still had it -they're worth a fortune now and a real collectors item if they're complet. -dixon cannon- Dixon Cannon

Did I meet you today?
Hi CJ. That is a great area - clean and fresh. I work at Ray & 48th in the Thistle complex. When I moved here 30yrs ago, that was all pristine desert. Do you remember the 'house of the future' that used to be on display out there somewhere? I visited that back about 1979 - I wonder what...- Dixon Cannon

Imported "JUNK"
Isn't it ironic that for the past fifty-years consumers have been prohibited from purchasing products made in the tiny island of Cuba because of the human rights issues with that brutal dictatorship - yet, our main importer of cheap commodity items and our largest creditor is the People's...- Dixon Cannon

Tropic Thunder
You are exactly right Edward. The purpose of the character 'Simple Jack' and the references to "retard" are about those actor's who think themselves so high-minded that they can portray those with mental disabilities and turn them into "magical" characters and thus teach all of us pedestrians...- Dixon Cannon

Tropic Thunder
I (knowingly) went and saw this film and, sure enough, laughed through the whole thing! I haven't laughed like that at a movie since 'Team America'! This is adult entertainment for adults who understand satire and send-up and the language isn't for the sqeamish or faint of heart. But the...- Dixon Cannon

Woolworth's menu, circa 1958
Ah! Back when two bits were made of silver and a bill could actually be traded for a silver dollar at the bank! (A silver certificate) Give's one a real example of how far the dollar has slipped in a just two generations. :( -dixon cannon- Dixon Cannon

Do you have a crush?
Ok, I'll confess. I met Patti Boyd (Harrison-Clapton) in Las Vegas last month and had a great conversation with her. I've been smitten since about 1964 when I was ten, but talking with her and looking into those eyes is enchanting. Ms. Boyd is charming beyond words and I can see why she's...- Dixon Cannon

UKELELE
Before his death, George Harrison became quite a ukelele afficianado. No doubt brought on by his brief residence in Hawaii (or his former association with Tiny Tim!). He became quite good on the instrument and now Paul McCartney does a little Harrison tribute during his live performances...- Dixon Cannon

Original 1950's BUTCH WAX
My dad and I used to wear that stuff to stiffen our "bangs" back in the early '60's! Let me tell you, in the hot, humid Florida weather that icky stuff got sticky and gooey! Thank God for the Beatles when a boy could finally grow his hair out! -dixon "butch" cannon- Dixon Cannon

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
The Americanization Of Emily I had no idea how good this movie was! James Garner was superb and his many monologues are worth repeating. I had been familiar with the title but never had any interest to see this film, assuming it was a pigmalian storyline with Julie Andrews singing her way...- Dixon Cannon

Hogan, I'm warning you!
I found this while searching for pics of Col. Hogan's jacket; uncanny, no? Wouldn’t you agree that U.S. Treasury Secretary, Henry Paulson more than slightly resembles Colonel Klink?- Dixon Cannon
