    Ever yearn for a vintage name?

    Silly me, I thought his name was "Wooster"... :eusa_doh: lol

    Ever yearn for a vintage name?

    That's my mother's name, Hazel. Dad also had a "vintage" name, Blaine. (I always thought Dad looked like Klaatu in this picture). You're also too young to remember the 1960s TV show "Hazel". Come to think of it, Mom's sisters all have vintage names, Blanche, Ada, Irma, Lois. Her mother's...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Dick, Jane, and Spot: And of more recent "vintage", I really miss this guy:

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    King's Klubhouse - Was that the one with Stan Boreson? My little brother and I made up a parody of his opening theme song. You don't want to hear it. I don't recall Gardener's Garage, but we were in the northern burbs so maybe we didn't get it. But I do remember Nightmare Theatre, b/w...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    And what was in that ink that made fresh copies smell so good?

    What is your favorite retro toy?

    Funny, I was just thinking about single-use toys such as fireworks. When I was a kid in the 60s, we would buy "Piccolo Petes" from the nearest fireworks stand. "Piccolo Pete" was in bold letters vertically along the staff, and it was mounted upright on a small wooden stand. You were supposed...

    Remakes

    Hated the remake. Vincent Price, whom I've always been a big fan of, once criticized modern horror films by saying "They've taken out subtlety and suspense and replaced it with gore and sex." I thought it was ironic that the remake of The Fly, a movie he originally starred in, was a perfect...

    The Elegant Male

    I only wanted to try it for the purpose of job interviews. Now that I'm working, I'm not as concerned about it. I may look into it again if/when I sit for a formal portrait.

    The Elegant Male

    Stumbled across this while looking at something entirely different. I got a kick out of the British lady at the end. They mention male cosmetics in the video. I'm middle-aged and have dark circles under my eyes that make me look tired and haggard. When I was job-hunting, I actually thought...

    Hair cuts

    There's a saying that goes with that: "Never ask a barber if'n you need a haircut."

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Eliot Ness: An Untouchable Life A one-man play that was filmed. Not a screen adaptation, but literally a play that was filmed. Nothing wrong with that, mind you, as long as you understand that's what it is, not a docu-drama as I thought it would be. Interesting story-telling, beginning...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    A Fine Madness (1966, Sean Connery) Only one star for this horrible movie. I would have given it an extra 1/2 star for the glimpse of the vintage fashions and artifacts of the 60s, but the rating sytem in Netflix only does whole stars, and it doesn't rate any more than one. But other than...

    What Do You Sound Like?

    Yeah, me too. It's obviously not a scientific analysis, just something for fun. I was born, reared and spent all my adult life in Western Washington. But I do say "Washington", not "Warshington" like my Dad did. (His was a country boy accent). He also said "deeshes" instead of "dishes". So...

    Baby Names? Vintage?

    After Moon Unit, Dweezil, and Diva Thin Muffin Zappa, everything else seems normal. Even Ahmet, #3 of the four Zappa kids, seems normal in comparison.

    Hair cuts

    There is another one I found in Ballard. One chair, men-only barber shop, complete with vintage decor and men's magazines. I've been to him a couple times now, and he does a good job. He mentioned his age once, 75, so I hope he's going to be around for a while. Friendly, upbeat guy, lives...

    Brylcreem?

    If you're going to try grooming gels meant for men, try Groom & Clean. Easily available, non-greasy, holds well. Best applied when your hair is wet. Only funny thing about it is they put in the men's SHAVING area, don't ask me why. I hunted all over Walgreen's the first time then had to ask...

    I found an 18thC table in the attic - pictorial

    In the picture with the silver tray, in the lower left corner in that pile of odds and ends, do I see on old-style skeleton key?

    I found an 18thC table in the attic - pictorial

    Start digging up the outhouse. You'll probably find some treasures there too, most likely antique bottles.

    Moving? maybe...

    If you like taxes, then come to Seattle, you'll LUV it! We have a brand new one, 20 cents per bag. Watch out for the bike riders though.

    Did Wyatt Earp appear in a film...

    The movie doesn't appear to have survived, or at least is not available anywhere that I can find. Somewhere I remember reading Wyatt was a tall guy, so if the movie was available, you could look for a tall elderly guy among the extras.
