Steak 'N' Shake
Ain't none in So. Cal. but I knew them in St. Louis. It was the place to cruise your car. They had curb sevice then- the 60s. On friday and saturday you'd just continiously circle the lot hanging out and then park and order very little cause you didn't have any money. Oh no, we took care...- Twitch

Postwar, The Germans in Alabama
Yeah, Doc, that's the general basis for the next moon dealy-o. It's so vague of course that whatever happens no one has to be held for responsibity. But basically it's the technology as 1962- chemically fuelled rockets blowing huge wads of fire and boom-boom launches and near uncontrolled... -
WWII Photos (and Stories) of Our Loved Ones
Anyone that can, should get a tape recorder and have as many sessions with your WW II participant as possible before they leave us. It may not seem important now but there's no asking them anything when they're gone. Get it on tape! -

Mass evacuation for bomb removal
I've never heard of any WW II explosive ordnance just popping off without reason though. No catalyst. Of course the Chinese have found biological and chemical ordnance all over from the Japanese occupation 1932-1945. The thing there is that all the ordnance has to do is errode enough to allow... -

Show us your Guns!
Howdy Otium! Welcome to the party! This thread gets more and more interesting with personal experience content. Great! I have simply felt that whatever someone was competent and confident with, that is the firearm they should be shooting regardless of caliber. A LOT of women are now...- Twitch

Thirtysomething woes
I never felt old or unfullfilled at 30 or 40 for that matter. I was in good health then and couldn't have bothered thinking about all the health and med crap I have gone through in the past 3 years. For a couple years before that my Mom was failing in health and we had to look out for her care...- Twitch

OFAS...
If current auction blabber was allowed this site would turn into an Ebay annex with fights over who saw what hat or vintage boxers first. It would totally screw up the site. Everybody here already knows about Ebay. If they are looking for a hat or antique underpants they already know to... -
Postwar, The Germans in Alabama
rljsrubicon You are correct in assessing the late war German weapons and air vehicles as superior and innovative. Believe me I have done extensive research on the most esoteric vehicles that were either built or conceived by the German engineers. I even have produced a book-length manuscript... -
What is your favorite aircraft of all time?
Ya know with so many people that obviously like aircraft here we should have more serious topics on planes going....[huh] -
Show us your Guns!
I imagine the Luger replica is fun to shoot. The butt angle is said to be ergonomically perfect for aiming the the mechanism has produced some difficult to clear jams I've heard. Anyhow hope you enjoy it Kilroy.- Twitch

The chill factor.
Any time I'm in my Packard I slip away. I quit seeing a sea of Japanese cars. The sun difuses differently over the sun visor and the ever present spit in the 2-piece windshield reinforces the fact that it's the 50s. My interior is faded and discolored but hasn't been altered since the factory...- Twitch

Postwar, The Germans in Alabama
Von Braun and his collegues were theorizing the legitimate aspects of space travel in the early 30s and long before the Apollos had calculated what it would take to reach the moon. His vision got us to the moon, not Kennedy's. After von Braun was gone we lost our way and now will have to... -
Feb18,2009 no more rabbit ears
On a side note it's too bad satelite companies are charging so much extra for HD. I won't be switching to HD until it is the majority of sets in use and they don't boost the bill.- Twitch

Show us your Guns!
Carebear- the pistol is simply a tool as you mention, as common as an axe or shovel one time in this country. And make no mistake, in MOST parts it still is simply an implement. The demonizing comes from the ignoramt city folk. I found it very interesting that every ace pilot I've ever...- Twitch
