    Sellers Guide for Dress Hats on Ebay

    The seller should specify how the hat will be packaged for shipping. I have received fedoras flattened and shoved into a box that would be better suited for a scarf. Hey, I like an original hatbox as much as the next guy, but if you don't have the original, get something appropriate to ship it...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I can't say how they do it these days, but when I did USAF basic back in 1975, everyone was required to fire, and qualify with, an M16.

    You know you are getting old when:

    You have the distinction of being the youngest person in the waiting room to have cataract surgery. Then for skin cancer. Then it suddenly dawns on you that you may be the youngest among them, but you have now arrived at "a certain age"..

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Oh yeah, defintely a country/rural word. My family used it often. Walter Brennan used it all of the time; Gene Kelly - I highly doubt it.

    My Grave Consequence of Buying a Scala Fedora

    I recently purchased a USA made Scala Fur Felt since posting here. The brown felt is a bit rough and stiff and the leather sweatband is a rather thin, flimsy thing but does serve it's purpose. The hatband is a little wider than I like. It came with the box, shipped, for $20. If not held to...

    What Song Would You Like Played At Your Funeral.

    "Bang Bang My Baby Shot Me Down" if I don't behave myself. And stop buying "All of those hats"!

    Favorite Halloween movies

    I still remember the final scene, after Black's character has burned the doll in her oven, the spirit rushes out and possesses her. It then shows Black sitting on the floor of her apartment, slowly and rythmically stabbing the point of the butcher knife into the floor. We then hear Black's...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    I remember that strip and that character! He was almost always in a chair and used phrases like "kaff kaff". "harumph" and "fap"! Occasionally he'd throw in an "Odds Bodkins"! He was, in all likelihood, the inspiration for the Commander McBragg cartoon character. (Nope, I just looked it...

    Your favorite movie quotes

    (Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, after Holmes has just explained a rather complex reasoning problem to a thoroughly confused Watson): Watson: (Bumbling and unsure) Oh, of course! Why, a child could figure it out. Holmes: Not your child, Watson. This comes from one of the many films that...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    I haven't heard anyone use "Egad!" since Mr. Magoo. He also used "By Jove!" quite a bit; he must have been surprised a lot. Considering that he was nearly blind I can imagine that was often the case. I know that he is a cartoon character, but those phrases were in common usage at one time.

    Also the term "haywire", which I do still rarely hear, but usually from people my age (south of sixty) or older.

    "It came to tears" or "It ended in tears". Also "Bored to tears"; I haven't heard any of these in a while.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Very much so, it was a classy ride. Pretty much had to be upscale as Kato was really the chauffeur. It was a Chrysler Imperial, I think, and they always made a big deal about it being able to run "totally silent". Since the majority of road noise is generated by the tires on the pavement, I...
