    Klatuu, mirada nikto, Dude!

    The Day the Earth Stood Still is being remade. It's even being filmed in my neck of the woods, just over the border in Vancouver, BC. But why, oh why, did they cast Keanu Reeves as Klaatu? I surely hope he can pull it off, but I think they could have done better.

    Sanitizing used hats?

    Do you leave it sealed in the bag when you take it out to assume room temp? Thanks for posting an effective but quick & dirty (pun intended) method.

    Poll: When you see a fellow hatwearer...

    May have been the situation. I drive the bus, so I'm used to customers ignoring me, even though I acknowledge them as they get on/off (that's actually a security procedure). But I digress.

    To the Moon Alice!

    Here I thought this was something about Ralph's vintage bus driver uniform:

    Poll: When you see a fellow hatwearer...

    Although I don't have a hat yet, I saw two fedora-wearers the other day that got on my bus. I just commented "nice hat!" to both of them. No response at all from the first one (black hat and overcoat), second one (forest green fedora and overcoat) acted kind of shy about the compliment.

    Sanitizing used hats?

    I went to Yahoo Local and typed in "naptha" and it listed various energy and fuel oil companies in my area.

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    I first found this forum while researching for a Roaring 20s/speakeasy party theme. Got some good info regarding that and continue to do so. My primary hobby is scuba diving. But after seeing some of the stunningly beautiful women and sharply dressed guys here, I realized I may...

    Roaring 20s/Prohibition party attire

    Thanks for the offer, but as I mentioned in my e-mail to you, the format of the party isn't really geared for that. But, perhaps we can get a Seattle FL happy hour event on the calendar.

    Sanitizing used hats?

    And also jock itch, per Medicine.net: http://www.medicinenet.com/ringworm/article.htm They actually list 8 different types, depending on the area of the body it's contracted. Damn, now I'm itching all over! I'm sorry I started this thread!

    Wifebeaters?

    I had no clue what a "wifebeater" was when used in this context, I had to google it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeveless_shirt A really awful name, but whatever. The term I'm familiar with is "muscle shirt" or "tank tops". No, I don't wear them anymore. I used to when I was a...

    Instruments - what do you play?

    Harmonica. Nothing fancy, just a few simple folk tunes.

    Sanitizing used hats?

    hehehe... Funny you said that. I was thinking of this thread and my childhood horror story while at work and was scratching more than usual.

    Sanitizing used hats?

    I did a search but couldn't find anything about this. I know from browsing the forum that at least a few of you buy or have bought used hats. My question is, do you do anything to sanitize them before wearing them? Lest you think I'm being overly squeamish, I have to relate a story from my...

    Classy dressing is one thing, but...

    Agreed. I had a hard time wording it in such a way as to not include "colorful metaphors" that may offend. That and I was laughing too hard. The page that came from had photos of other zoot suits that were a little more tasteful. They're still not my thing though, with apologies to all those...
