    Stunning, Shooshie.

    Snobbery in the Lounge?

    My only problem with this is that if someone takes this too much to heart, he can excuse himself from trying to be as objective as possible by saying, "well, that's MY perception." Also, confusing perception with reality: I don't think that's right either. We must constantly try to detangle...

    Signs of the Decline of Civilization

    I basically agree with you, although there will be disagreements on what constitutes "proper" --- and giving money doesn't usually hurt.

    Tried to recruit a new member to the lounge

    I'll try. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Snobbery in the Lounge?

    Surely is from a different generation. Autres temps, autres moeurs, etc.

    Tried to recruit a new member to the lounge

    My old pal Dosher is quite interested in 1930s and 1940s and has a small collection of late 1950s narrow ties. He likes a lot of this stuff. But he's a Goth at heart, and a big misanthrope, so despite my cajoling he won't go on. My wife is a film noir-head and loves most of the clothes, but...

    Do you all have Dyer and Spark's book Fit To Be Tied: Vintage Neckties of the Forties and Early Fifties? I found it marvelous.

    Snobbery in the Lounge?

    True -- maybe her skull will catch up. I hope. If not, she's a girl and can always wear her hair long.

    Short Sleeved Dress Shirts With a Suit?

    I think that Sterling Hayden does it (in The Killing, if I'm not mistaken).

    The Over Medium Egg

    I agree. Loose tea or nothing.

    No pleats and no, I don't NOT want it. (That means I DO want it.) :rolleyes: And -- once again - - it was about $5. [insert or imagine gloat.] Actually, a bit more: it was in a plastic-covered packet with 2 more ties. Total cost was about 17 bucks. For all three. Unworn. [insert or imagine...

    Signs of the Decline of Civilization

    Thanks, Powers. I have read a bit of his work, but not that book. Tough questions, Neecerie. One problem or confusing point in all of this is whether it is indeed always immoral or wrong to commit prostitution. An ex-girlfriend of mine studied prostitution from a sociological angle (she is...

    I don't know that work. (Although I of course know who Santayana was.) A summary would be delightful, Mr Powers.

    Actually, I don't buy anything. People give me their trashed antiques. And at this point, I have a house full of antiques from these donations. Almost all scratched, dented, stained. I'll use the Howard's and I'll see what I can do.

    Snobbery in the Lounge?

    My ears are monstrous and my daughter's huge, too. Surely, for the record let me state that I think you are raising interesting points which are worthy of pondering carefully. And which can make us into better people. I have no idea what to say about the desire to joke around here as...

    When I move to Northern Wisconsin, things will change. They'll open up thrift stores just for me, with tons of vintage. JUST YOU WATCH.

    Signs of the Decline of Civilization

    I did not know what prostitution was until junior high school. Someone tried explaining it to me in elementary school and I didn't get it. I met my first pimp when I was misspending my youth on Hollywood Boulevard at 16, hanging out with the street punks. I met a guy who said "If I had a...

    Exactly. Miscellaneous old things like clocks (see my latest post in the Thrift Store thread). Dirty things that need minor repair and are thus cheap. You're killing me.
