    Bluesman - Speaking as a Friend who is a double graduate from another SEC school, let me advise you to take the greatest care of that fine lid. I can imagine horrible things transpiring at the hands of the Unwashed. :eek:

    VJ Day

    It wasn't only combat. Polish intelligence gave her Allies a major head start on Enigma. (The Enigma War, Garlinski.) So, I'll make it a pint with a kielbasa ! :eusa_clap

    New Generation Brims With Anxiety Over Hat Etiquette

    I have to agree. I think that tipping the hat might be misinterpreted somehow. Having the door held open is universally appreciated.

    Blackout Regulations

    It is recounted in Operation Drumbeat by Michael Gannon that when the first U-Boat surfaced at night off the coast near New York City the commander was surprised that he could identify the WOR radio tower and the Ferris wheel at Coney Island, all lit up. The adjustment to coastal blackout...

    Post New Hats Here!

    Well, I like it ! First, say after me, "Bah ! Homburg !" This gets the negativity out of your system. Now accept that the Gods of daBay have presented you with a really spiffy hat for small money. Get a can of Scout hat cleaner for dark hats and work on the spots, gently, or go the...

    Our own vintage town

    Is the overall concept of the Vintage Town to have only vintage things within its corporate limits, or is the consensus that it should be more of a reverse Potemkin village with hidden, more modern features ? I'm enjoying all of this.

    Stop for Nazi posts?

    Stop for Nazi posts?

    Whoa ! I find it disturbing that I see before me shrill and abusive comments made by people whose observations I have come to value in the short time I have been in the FL. Each of you has too much class for this, and I hope apologies are forthcoming.

    Motorcycle Jackets and a Fedora?

    I think yes ... You can do well with this combination. I suggest picking out the jacket you like best without regard to the hat. Wear it, then carefully consider what hat might work best to accompany it. It's cheaper to switch hats than jackets.

    The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

    If person "A" did not care for my appearance today and said something to me about it, that could be an insult. But if person "A" tells person "B" how I was garbed and his opinion thereof, and I am not party to that conversation, it is not an insult. Mr. Vim is right, let's see this thread...
