    Disneyland Is Going 1930's

    If I never go to Disneyland or an other "amusement" park again I won't miss it, except the huge hole on my wallet. The only amusement gained is the chagrin at day's end when you realize how much dough you blew for virtually nothing in the surreal atmosphere of every aspect having been inflated...

    The end of TIME (no...not the magazine)

    Oh well, I guess we'll all just have to get along. If you want accurate time check you cable/satellite system.

    Activists or just followers?

    All that thinking is great. But without action it is so much wasted time. Strategic and tactical battle plans have to be forged out of thinking or it is just a boondoggle. :rolleyes:

    Crowded Faro Table, late 1800s: Great Hats!

    Good photographic evidence that there was a wide variety of headwear in use at that time.:fedora:

    old neighborhood bars

    Teekay, Nulty what you describe are truly neighborhood bars of the past for sure. Look back at the picture I posted and the inside is as you describe. These weren't sports bars or clubs by any stretch just quite, cool, dark places to have a drink and relax.

    Warportraits - Portraits of war

    Spitfire- here is another of Marseille. Yes he was quite a character. In fact Spit, here's an article I wrote about him- STAR OF AFRICA It was an even sixty rounds per plane times six. That's all it took for Hans-Joachim Marseille to down six Tomahawks of the British Desert Air Force...

    In which WWII army should you have fought?

    The questions are quite transparent to anyone with historical military knowledge of the era. "Do you like uniforms" is totally non-American but answered yes by Germans no doubt. And the stuff about do you believe in using massive amounts of ammo versus whatever it said about steady, accurate...

    The Day the Earth Stood Still - Remake

    Let 'em do it! War of the Worlds has been done several times and I don't think any one was massively better or more classic than the rest. How many times have we seen Invasion of the Body Snatchers reincarnated now? Day the Earth Stood Still has a catchy concept that should work well in...

    Flying with a fountain pen

    You get some change due to altitude alone in the luggage. A pen may or may not leak. Everything of a liquid nature expands and contracts. A plastic bottle of Visine will release pressure after a trip when you crack open the cap. If the cap was loose the liquid would have escaped under pressure.

    Activists or just followers?

    I've always been somewhat of a non-conformist. On the subject of the medical profession, I believe the doctors accurately diagnose you 50% of the time for proper treatment. The down side is that the other 50% of the time they haven't got a clue and simply throw sheiite on the wall hoping to...

    Hat compliment

    The more you wear them them more people see them and we can hope that someone else will have a revelation such as, "Hmm? That hat looks cool. Wonder how I'd look in one?"

    Beachboys

    I'm involved in events with my vintage car. Most of the guys are 45-70 and in the summer the majority wear straws of all types. In the mild So. Cal. winter months they unfortunately don't switch to felts. But the very fact that they wear them compared to most any other group in any other...

    Autographs

    I've never been an autograph hunter of anyone of fame. I talked with most of the leading aces of WW 2 while others got them to scribble something. As for the couple of TV/film personalities I've bumped into, I simply mentioned, "I have appreciated your work, thankyou," and let it go at that...

    A fast food rant

    God I ate lunch and sometimes other meals out for like 25 years and that is truly tiring. I've seen the special deals come and go. The temporararily featured sandwich is a staple of the industry with the "limited time offer" mentality. Frankly you get tired of everything and every place...

    Games of Chance!

    When I happen to find myself in Vegas I enjoy the people watching. I don't gamble. The endless drama is amazing as all sizes, types and sorts of people of varying attractiveness or down right ugly entertain you for free as they play out their wierd lives like some sort of reality show.:D

    The Elephant in the Room - Man Purse

    Hey Bebop you're not behind the times. Beyond a slim laptop as about the largest thing one would carry I look at Whetstone's bag bulging with crap and have to wonder what the hell is going on...unless that's the mode when he's packed with guns, ammo and cleaning gear to go shooting. I agree...
