    This is my honey.... My 1997 Ford Thunderbird. I've had two of these vehicles. I love the body style and lines, particularly the deck lid, spoiler, the tail-light styling and Thunderbird logo. I get quite a few compliments and tooting of the horns! (edit - sorry, but no.) The only other...

    Wow! What a 'bashing'! You 'basherd'*! Bartender, another drink before a go home and take my 'bash' and put myself to bed. I've been a 'bash ash' boy! G'night (ya 'crease'!) (*'basherd': one who bashes those who bash the bash in their Borso fed. A 'floungerism*')...

    Were fedoras worn during WW1?

    Well, it's been said before, Kennedy killed the hat! He all but refused to wear his top hat for his inauguration and seemed to be the death knell for top hats. Leon Russell Mac Rebennack -Reg Dwight Perhaps 'Slash' will revive the trend, although some of these guys have failed...

    Were fedoras worn during WW1?

    Here's a couple of pics from c.1915 In each of these shots from 1915 while Europe was engaged in the 'Great War', several types of hat are shown. Fedoras show up in each crowd. The bashes may be different than those in the 30's or 40's, there were fedoras none the less. -dixon cannon

    A 'crease' is in your trousers... .. a 'bash' is in your hat. Ever watch those old movies where everyone wears a fedora? Remember seeing guys holding there hat in one hand while giving the crown a gentle 'karate chop' with the other?.. usually mindlessly or while in conversation, prior...

    Vintage biker style...

    There is a GREAT anecdote about this scene... Two guys walk out of the cinema after seeing 'The Wild One'. They're talking about this scene where Lee Marvin tells Brando, "I love ya Johnny! The Beetles love ya" Stuart Sutcliffe says to his friend, "Hey mate, That'd make a great name for...

    I see that quite often... I saw a Carlos Santana concert show last week and he wears his brim up. I must admit, I'm old fashioned, I wear all mine brim down - drastically down! I just haven't been able to grasp the brim up look. -dixon cannon

    Highschooler looking for a FEDORA ;)

    Hi Slim! Welcome to the Lounge... Always keep your eyes open on eBay too. I've found some great hats out there and often they are reasonably priced. Vintage age too! Many FL's are either buying or selling on eBay. Welcome to the gang. Send some pictures when you get your wardrobe...

    I can't believe this sort of attitude still persists today

    Ay! I once made the mistake while in London of commenting on a guys accent. He was quick to remind me, "Hey mate, you've got the accent - I speak ENGLISH!" Touche' (Oh, that's French!) At another time I naively entered a conversation on taxes with a Canadian who mentioned income taxes...

    Bell UH-1 Huey

    I don't see any reason why this would be any different than any other warbird restoration. I think the Feds require the ship to be registered as 'experimental' and there may be some insurance requirements and passenger restrictions, but - it's a warbird! I know a girl who was a...
