    Longtime Loungers...do you think the Lounge has changed a great deal?

    In partial answer to Surely, I may be lame but I haven't noticed many drastic changes due to growing membership since I've been around. As ALL website go as new members arrive the older ones get perterbed that they bring up topics that the old bubbas have thoroughly discussed a year earlier...

    Did you attend a college or university?

    Sartorial Solecism?

    You can wear a fedora with most dress but perhaps not all. I regularly wear jeans and a sweat shirt with mine an still get comments on the hat. Technically it's timeless wear since jeans ans sweat shorts pretty much look the same as they did in 1939. If it's warm enough for shorts it's warm...

    Klaus Grutzka, Kreigsmarine veteran

    He's one of those larger than life characters that did a lot of things during the war and is still around. I hope he wrote a book or enough for some one to do it.

    Vocabulary Today

    Without sounding like a wise guy, hasn't everyone already realized that the quality of education is no longer what it once was? That's a universal given. I'm surprised that anyone is still surprised that the schools' product is lesser educated youth. Once thing I am sure of is from several...

    Longtime Loungers...do you think the Lounge has changed a great deal?

    No names, but yes, there are thread killers out and about. I have watched, thankfully, just a handful of people do it and not even on a regular basis. It's been sorta not what they said but how they said it. Most repetitive has been the thread going along with several participants for like...

    I keep imagining cell phones would be called walkie-talkies since that's close to what they are now.:)

    Hat prices

    ideaguy- there are assorted level of participation in the fedora world. There are those that pay $2-300 for a hat and don't bat an eye. They spend equally exorbident prices for other clothes too. There are those that seek out bargains but buy something occassionally at more than they thought...

    S.F. doctor honored for helping save France from Nazis

    This guy was certainly one of the real deal! The truth is that less than 10% of French were involved in the underground though to hear popularist history every Frenchy was a guerilla fighter extrodinaire.

    What WWII games really need right now...

    There are plenty enough non-Japanese companies. In fact the majority are. What would be cool and different in any genre of WW 2 game is where the Germans or Japanese actually WIN the war instead of simply retire. "They," whoever the hell "they" is, are afraid to do that as is it'll set...

    Regaining the Christmas spirit...

    I spent a couple Christmases with my Mom in that situation, one while I was recovering from cancer treatment and keeping an eye on her. The fact is that you may not be able to get into gear again. It may depend on how your Mom feels about the holidays. My Mom was not a big holiday fan so a...

    Longtime Loungers...do you think the Lounge has changed a great deal?

    Change is inevitable in all things. As some one who has begun topics about vintage and non-vintage subjects alike all I can say is that people do not live by vintage alone. No site I visit has only threads on only site topics. All threads go astray just like conversations do when some says...

    New User, with lots of question :)

    Yeah find a nice fedora on Ebay that suits you- I've not spent more than $25 and obtained some never-worn hats. Be patient and don't get swept up in bidding. Next week there'll be plenty more similar hats. And with the hat you literally can wear it with anything. I've worn them with sweats...

    Where to find online information on USS Quail?

    Just use "USS Quail" as search words. I got a lot of hits that will take time to look through. I found Wikipedia short history, a picture or her, and a crew roster.

    How we dress and what we drive

    The '35 is a lot less expensive than you think. For about $15,000 you an get a complete, well functioning car with $23,000 as a top out price for an super-excellent car.
