    Forbidden items in my home...

    Totally. Satanic crap. I hate gum too-the chewing, spitting and those gross black spots on the sidewalk. As an aside. Walt Disney World is my haven, where gum is Strongly discouraged, haha. Same in the Orlando airport where they don't even sell it.

    Three piece suits

    I totally agree. They are hard to find, but the level of elegance they provide is amazing. And there are so few of them out there. I have been lucky I guess as I have not had a really hard time with sizing however, when I can find a nice three piece, especially considering I am nowhere...

    So I wore a bow tie to a job interview

    The general consensus in the mens fashion world is that the bow tie fell out of fashion because men started to forget how to tie one. As less and less men wore them, it became a semi-forgotten art. Ties are viewed by the general public as eccentric because they are not wide spread. They are...

    Sunbeam Mixer

    These mixers are bulletproof. My mom still uses the one she got for her bridal shower in 1967 every day. Incredible. It doesn't show any signs of wear at all.

    Estate Sales

    I see it every day. I have a close friend who is an antiques dealer and he told me that anything that is old and cumbersome has no interest for modern families. I almost acquired a 4 foot wide by 3 foot high antique Czechoslovakian handmade crystal chandelier for nothing. It cost $10,000...

    War movie editing errors

    The classic with the watch is in 'The Ten Commandments" when the blind man gets thrown a gift by Moses's brother. When he extends his arm, you can clearly see a watch. Some have claimed it is a bracelet, but it has a face with numbers.

    War movie editing errors

    I love "The Dirty Dozen". There are a number of future huge stars in the movie, but many have 1960s haircuts. Also, when tanks are blown up, they are clearly small models. Lastly, the stunt doubles look nothing like the stars half the time. However, these are just observations. I still...

    Suit Wearing Guidelines?

    If you wear a really heavy wool coat, plus gloves a scarf and of course a hat, over a heavy suit, you should be able to handle almost any cold weather. I live in Canada and have never had an issue with being cold as long as you make sure your extremities are warm. Even in a suit you may be...

    Murdoch Mysteries

    I agree with all of your comments gentlemen. As a Torontonian and mystery lover, I looked forward to this show, but unfortunately it is pretty poorly done. I thought we would get another "Nero Wolfe" type production, though of course historically earlier. Ironically, "Nero Wolfe" was filmed...

    Torontonians?

    What's not to love? Toronto is truly international. My bro lives in NYC and he and his friends are still convinced we have more cultural diversity than them. Also it's a safe city with very few if any "bad" neighbourhoods. And you can have the best of both worlds living in a large...

    I remember when.....

    I remember: No professionals in the Olympics. Going to the corner store as a kid to buy cigarettes for my grandfather. The store owner knew me by sight and which ones I was supposed to buy for my grandfather. .25 cent chocolate bars. Rotary phones. Such a pain that you didn't call your...

    The Declining Popularity of the Necktie

    When I was at University, one of my friends always wore a tie, but with no sports coat or blazer. I had worn a school uniform, grey pants, tie and blazer for 11 years in a row and wanted a break and so did not ever wear a tie to school. My friend was always receiving compliments on the way he...

    "Can streetcars save America's cities?" ~ cnn.com

    Here in Toronto, the entire system was electrified for buses and streetcars. Then in the 1980s, General Motors removed all the lines as a "Favour" for the city so that it would not incur the cost. Can anyone guess who the number one bus supplier to the Toronto Transit Commission is? Of-course...

    "Can streetcars save America's cities?" ~ cnn.com

    Completely agree RD. Here in Toronto, Canada, the transit system is garbage. We have 2 subway lines that run in a cross, but they do not cover very much ground. The bus and streetcar situation is laughable. A 20 minute car trip takes over 90 minutes by bus or streetcar. The recent Mayor...

    Glaring Film Gaffs! (Or: The Dry Look in 1917?)

    In the episode of "That 70s Show" where they go to Canada, they sing "O Canada" with the new 1980s lyrics.

    Hat places in Buffalo, New York.

    Hello everyone. I will be in Buffalo, New York next week for a hockey tournament and wondered if there are any good hat places or retro places I should check out. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks.

    2010 Remembrance day coming up! Lest we forget!

    A beautiful memory of your grandfather. Serves to remind us that war is not glorious, but gory and bloody. I had both grandfathers in wars. My paternal grandfather was in WWI in Italy against Austro-Hungary. He was wounded by a machine gun bullet. I met him twice before he died in 1982 as...

    2010 Remembrance day coming up! Lest we forget!

    A beautiful sentiment. Here in Canada, soldiers are honoured for being the heroes they are. In Toronto, highway 401, the busiest highway in Canada, has had a large section renamed "The Highway of Heroes" in honour of our fallen soldiers. Every time a fallen soldier returns to the area, a...

    The most horrible remake ever to be made

    Try the Dukes of Hazzard or Starsky and Hutch if you REALLY want to ruin your day. They were both terrible. They appear to have been created as comedies, but they are both so bad that they are almost parodies of themselves. Horrible.
