    Very Very Short Stories

    Why I won't do this ... Richard Brautigan, "The Scarlatti Tilt" : "It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play the violin." That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver. (from Revenge of the Lawn: Stories 1962-1970)

    Akubra Overload

    Thickening the Plot ... I have dealt with this seller on da Bay before and would not hesitate to do so again. See what he says about a "Sundowner" he offered. This is from the listing : "I HAVE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AN UNUSUAL VINTAGE AKUBRA FEDORA. I HAVE NOT SEEN ANOTHER LIKE THIS...

    Akubra Overload

    Thanks. I'm interested to know. Do a net search of "pur fur felt" with your favorite engine(s). You'll get hits from sellers, but I didn't see any results from Akubra itself or the biggies like EA, David Morgan, or Hats Direct. Perhaps I missed them as it was rather late last night when I...

    The eleven-dozenth "real" James Bond. This is good to know. Now if you will excuse me, I promised to install a fresh battery in a watch :rolleyes: and must be going. Happy Equinox !

    Akubra Overload

    Veddy similar ! This is a pic of a presumably real Aussie Squatter off the bay : I see elsewhere some not legit-looking hats with descriptions using the words "Pur Fur Felt". Is the "e" the key ?

    Akubra Overload

    I won't rule that out. If the design of the liner and the block lettering on the sweat band squares with the records at Akubra, it's possibly vintage. Of course, criminal enterprises have been undone by small errors before. If you were selling bogus hats, wouldn't you prefer to sell bogus...

    Akubra Overload

    Repent ! Do pennance by e-mailing Stephen Keir at Akubra. I watched the vid on the other thread and it sounds like he might like to hear how it came to you and perhaps to get some pics, too. :eek:

    Akubra Overload

    I just found that. It was an Akubra name. It looks like a current Boss of the Plains in the Popular Science ad. My sympathies, except it is a nice looking lid. :)

    Akubra Overload

    Barmah has a leather hat called the Sundowner Roo, which this isn't, either. I don't see any color in the liner. All my Akubra felt hats have some red in the Akubra seal. But maybe "Pur Fur Felt" is a sad way of alluding to a type of Kitten Finish. Something else to worry about on the...

    Operating USS Missouri Radio Room

    Work 'Em Danno ! Then QSL. A few minutes into the first episode of the new Hawaii Five-O you get a good look at the USS Missouri and that fabulous discage antenna in the background as McGarret (Alex O'Loughlin) and the Her Excellency the Governor (Jean Smart) converse.
