    National Straw Hat Day

    National Straw Hat Day would have to be International Straw Hat Day for me, and with all the rain we've been having, it would qucikly become International Compost On Your Head Day. [huh]

    Vintage/Retro themed bars, clubs, hotels? Share pictures and reviews!

    I want to like the Laurentian Room, a bar that opened in 1935 then closed in the fifties for fifty years before being reopened! But it's got a hipster thing that I can't get into, the music sucks and it's far too loud, and nobody, but nobody goes there for a retro vibe...

    King Tut's/Howard Carter's secrets online

    This is interesting, the radio report had more information than the link I'm providing, but you'll be able to find more online in the future, I'm sure. It seems Howard Carter was a committed diarist and that there are almost literally tons of material archived in Oxford that relate to his...

    Aristocrats & Ghostbusters 70s Saturday Mornings

    Probably not. It ran for only one season. There were a few episodes on a video I saw once, collected with other Saturday Morning 70s era stuff - including commercials and Schoolhouse Rock bits - but that was not an "official" release. I'll scout around to see if it's on tape or dvd. It's so...

    Aristocrats & Ghostbusters 70s Saturday Mornings

    I just saw the Aristocrats and Larry Storch was featured, only I didn't recognize him until the end credits rolled. Everybody remembers F-Troop, but who remembers The Ghostbusters featuring Spencer (Storch) Tracy (Bob Burns - superfan - as a gorilla) and Kong (Forrest Tucker)? I do, I...

    Magnoli's suits.

    The suit we all want is the one he is wearing when Shiwan Kahn comes into the sanctum and they meet for the first time. I think it was grey or light blue.

    Problem: Wearing a hat embarrasses you. Solution: Don't wear a hat. Seems pretty simple.

    Superman Returns

    The Return of Sameness Man Lex Luthor, Smallville, the Fortress of Solitude. I'm having deja vu all over again. Guess there's no new ideas coming from Krypton anytime soon. I always found superman a little boring when I was a kid I don't think being an adult will change that. His costume...

    "As Sure as my name is Boris Karloff..."

    I wish I could make it, I love the Karloff. I hope they show The Lost Patrol in which he plays a relegious fanatic making life difficult for the Foreign Legionaires trapped by brigands at an oasis. John Ford directed it. Very cool movie.

    Leather jacket from The Natural

    Just watched this again on dvd. The jacket looks pretty close to the Raider jackets from Wested, especially the ToD. Pretty close.

    Hair cuts

    I might just have the forehead for that Karloff.

    Hair cuts

    It's not the cut, it's the comb. It's a basic cut, long on top and tapered on the back and sides to just above the ears. Combing it to get the loft and the shine may be tricky. Is your hair as thick as Sean Penns?

    Personal ethics and the Rise of Greed

    Cross pollination is nothing at all like splicing genes. In cross pollination the pollen of one type or species of plant is introduced to another type or species of plant via the usual route resulting in a hybrid offspring - or not. Genentic engineering allows for the splicing of fish genes into...

    Hair cuts

    ALL RIGHT, all right, I admit it. You terrible people have just set my therapy back by months. And, Absinthe-1900, I don't have a problem with, ahem, chewing.

    Hair cuts

    Now I am part Howard Hughes and part magik swami... no, I don't levitate, at least not in my sleep, and I (well, it's really my wife, to tell the truth) change the pillow cases once or twice a week. But seriously, I just went into the bedroom to check, and, man, no word of a fib, my Murrays is...
