    To Avoid Leads to A "Void"?

    A franchise... like Subway! Only much more selective in who can start one, and in choice of operational staff... with operational training by Lounge bartenders... now there's some delicious food for thought, if not very practical - Cousin Hepcat

    What makes a suit "cheap"?

    There are plenty of great threads on F.L. about what to look for. What are the subtleties of what to avoid in a vintage or reproduction 1930s-40s suit? This isn't a request for posting outrageous pics of 1970s Napolean Dynamite's pumpkin-colored tuxedo or John Travolta's disco suits...

    Surviving the '50s, '60s...

    DITTO and DITTO! "gummy bears" we called them here. In fact growing up in a low income neighborhood that's about ALL we could ever afford to do is ride our bikes around and talk trash... but in retrospect, all that time was spent INTERACTING with people, really getting to know the people who...

    Professor Predicts Human Time Travel This Century

    You can see this one in use in the movie "Napoleon Dynamite"- the T-shaped stick is connected to 120v AC and placed in the crotch area... (it didn't work very well in the movie, which BTW, was hilarious) Put it this way.... Here's a blowup: Still wanna know how much they run? :)...

    Oh man! Solid - I just can't help but think of Pee Wee Herman! lol but really I think every one of us would Love to have P.W.'s bike (maybe without the propeller) So, according to the free online dictionary, you can use it to "exercise a regime of absolute and centralized control, crushing...

    Professor Predicts Human Time Travel This Century

    Just be sure you're ready to "pay your fare" fighting in a war! Unless you want to cop out and set the dial for 45... running joke with my coworkers: Whenever they read aloud a news article about some depraved voilent act, I respond, "Wouldn'tve happened back in the 40s... Gonna build me a...

    Fedora Lounge: The Book

    Definitely. Maybe we could Start Really Small, then add more layers of detail later. Something for total newbies. In fact, to start it may not contain any info at all, just pointers to weblinks and books, then fill it in over time with more permanent text summarized from those sources...

    Fedora Lounge: The Book

    It would be nice to have a Fedora Lounge reference book, with much of the collective intelligence of lounge members in an immediately findable form, and in print. Going through all forums, all posts, collecting & organizing into a logical hierarchy of categories, all information for men...

    WHRO - Another streaming Golden Era station

    Mojave Jack, I'd avoid the Crutchfield ones, they probably are just for shorter distances. I use the 1/4-mile AM xmitter (so it will work with older radios) for about $100 in the link below: There are cheaper ones but in my experience they're useless junk that hardly work at all (I've tried...

    Yeah, Ditto? Mojave Jack, thanks for the tip! Man, now I'm definitely gonna need to relocate the AM transmitter and/or PC in the house to start rebroadcasting web stations instead of just CDs & MP3 discs... Swing High, - Cousin Hepcat
