Features on Men
Quoting Bill Murray: Hmm, let's see: me, me, me, me, me, and me. Reminds me of that scene in "The Groundhog Day", when Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell are having breakfast at a restaurant and Andie MacDowell describes the perfect man, although playing a music instrument and loves his mother...- geo

The Axis Powers
Now, on this. The USSR was a workers' and peasant's state. The rulers came from classes that had to work to make a living. Remember, this is 1917, and the ruling classes are hereditary and filthy rich: aristocracy, landowners, imperial family, all living in gold-plated palaces. A lawyer may... -

The Axis Powers
Yes, that's right. He was an undercover agent, informing the Bavarian government on communist activities among the soldiers. But I think that as part of his cover he carried dispatches for the Reds. I also read that Himmler had a file on Hitler, which he intended to use to justify a future... -

March 8, International Women's Day
It's International Women's day, and on occasions like this, there's always talk about abused women, inequality, etc., all negative things. I think March 8 should be about flowers:- geo

The Bogart Collection by Thomasville
Thanks for posting this, I didn't know about this company and I was looking for some good quality furniture. It even turns out that they have a shop in my city. I just hope they're not too expensive and that they're not made in China. I like better martinis with gin, I find the...- geo

Fedoras vs. Atomic Bombs
Ah, I get it now. The sombrero was invented during the Cuban crisis, to protect the population. It was a sort of quick civil defense system. That's a good answer if somebody asks why you're wearing a hat: "As protection against atomic bombs". -

Braces/Suspenders should match your ???
The traditional British braces from Thurston are red, and that explains the high number of British gentlemen wearing red shoes. Without joking, suspenders can be red, blue, green, of in regimental stripes, and they don't have to match anything. Maybe he refers to the leather part where the...- geo

Indiana Jones
Here's what I found out from wikipedia.com, of all places: Theatrical films Chapter 23: The Temple of Doom (1984) Chapter 24: Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) Chapter 25: The Last Crusade (1989) Chapter 26: Indiana Jones 4 (2007) (categorized as "in production") Chapter 27...- geo

Technical Q: including photos in posts
This is how I did it, and it worked: The way you attach photos: You need to upload images to a server. Either your ISP (internet service provider) or image hosting sites such as http://www.webshots.com/ or http://photobucket.com/ Once you have uploaded your photo and can see it in your...- geo

Color coordinating a hat
There are two ways to approach color matching: color harmony and color contrast. Color harmony means that you pair browns with browns, greys with greys and black, navy with black, etc. Color contrast means that you pair browns with greys, browns with navy, etc. So if you're for color... -

Heavy weight felt
Beautiful hat! What size is it? I would imagine that the crown height and brim width vary with the size, to keep everything in proportion, right? -

The Axis Powers
Ideologically, none were real close. In fact, the country that came the closest to National Socialist Germany was Communist Russia. They were both revolutionary workers' and peasants' states, the difference between the two being the German persecution of Jews and the lack of private property... -

Indiana Jones
Indiana Jones can only be played by an actor that's credible both as a bow-tie wearing college professor and as an adventurer. It's a tough role, and I think that an actor that's only good as an action type of guy won't do. It takes an intellectual that can jump off tanks for the role. That's...- geo

Akubra stiffness
Does this mean then that hats were stiffer pre-WW2, and they got softer after the rationing of shellac was introduced?
