    How many of you were taught this in high school? Or, at home?

    I'm pretty sure at some point they taught this in public school where I grew up. Don't see how anyone could not know it. Probably the general attitude is, "oh that's old fashioned and unnecessary now." That much less competition in the job market for us :rolleyes: Swing High, - Cousin...

    Earliest VIDEO discs: 1920s-30s(!!)

    Earliest VIDEO discs: 1920s-30s(!!) Is this wild or what: 1920s pioneers found a way to modulate a blurry video image into a high-pitched audio whine & cut onto metal phonograph discs (standard wax wasn't high-definition enough). . . . I've passed up tons of metal-cut 1930's...

    What keeps you awake?

    Thinking about long term goals, "where do you want to be in 5 years" kinda stuff, when that gets stuck in my head it's a bear to get out, have to leave the radio on overnight sometimes to get to sleep. But then that's also usually when I've gotten my best ideas on the subject so far! :D (Well...

    More and more Ladies wearing Vintage?

    I *WISH*... (coming from North Carolina) Saw ladies dressed in vintage in person *one* time, at a Glenn Miller concert about 5 years ago, a mother and daughter TOTALLY decked out head to toe late 30s-early 40s, my Favorite era: Hair, makeup, fitted dresses, gloves, cool little hats with the...

    Vinyl record sales increasing

    Vinyl record sales increasing? :) Yup. Many of the new bands are making vinyl LPs and 45s again. And, sweeping new vinyl reissue programs of classic jazz, rock, pop albums. Thoughts? Anyone else noticed this? If we can get them to bring back 78s... :rolleyes: Even picked up a few...

    Disney/Pixar's CARS

    Went with a friend I used to work with & group of her friends; it was really cute, although (and one of my coworkers who went agres) I'd have to say this film is most geared towards kids than any of Pixar's others I've seen. They did have a really cool sequence with the original "Sh-Boom" by...

    I know, I was sorely disappointed, I was hoping to see a new falcon replica for sale! :rage: Are you reading this, Mr. MK? SORELY... :p Mr. Chevalier must've had a different avatar; now I guess it's just a "non sequitur". - Cousin Hepcat

    Is there a Thespian in you?

    What a fun read. Hey, when someone starts the brick-and-mortar Fedora Lounge club franchise, be sure the stages in each one are big enough for not just a band but a whole show :-) Myself, never tried it, but think it'd be Great to do W.C. Fields! lol (Like I could EVER stuff enough pillows...

    Shafted!

    From what I've seen the time I've been here, definitely like everyone else's said, the moderation makes the Lounge. Keeps this from becoming just "one big display case for the most amazing array of personality disorders" like all the net newsgroups. Cheers to the bartenders! :cheers1...

    What Makes You Choose One Decade Over Another?

    THAT is the Exact reason why I can never make it all the way through the movie Holiday Inn (I think that's the one...), or, the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers movie, Swing Time. It gets me EVERY time... Every couple years that go by, I read the description on TMC and say "Wow, what a cool...
