    Vintage Heat?

    Pistol shooting or any other is just plain fun. There's no need to haul in sociological issues to it or any other passtime that people enjoy. I don't kill people any more but still enjoy going to an indoor range with my daughters. My oldest is deadly with her .357 and the youngest has a .38...

    Yes, if one seeks a modicum of honor look to the military.

    The Hipster minded Airstream.

    There is a whole sub-culture of people into them who restore them and pull them to meets and such. Why not? They're cool like vintage cars.:cool2:

    The episode was fun with no need for nitpicking it to death for historical accuracy.:)

    Just one of those (rare) days

    I think the reward of interacting with people in a kindly way is representative of the Golden Age in general. Today everyone has to be on guard against personal crime and scams in general and therefore tend to be more reserved in the lowering of the personal force field as they go through their...

    in need of a summer hat

    The ubiquitous Panama of any style can't be beat in my opinion. There are decent name brand non-Panama straws of all types out there too. Most are inexpensive. Cruise Ebay for a while and watch what goes for what and don't spend too much.;)

    High Crown Borsalino Fedora Hat On eBay

    Guess it was a deal since it was a fairly large size which don't come along on Ebay all that often in quality. But for the rest of us pin heads the key is simple patience. There's tons of good hats out there for rock bottom prices. Alost every name brand hat I bought has obviously never been...

    Man vs. Wild : Canteen

    I used to use the standard metal WW2 issue canteen when I went out in the sticks. Wouldn't want a plastic on for sure.:)

    Nutty Neighbors

    I have good neighbors with no problems! What is a growing hassle is city ordnances and home owners associations and their pickyass rules. Thankfully I have no HOA in my area. I communicate with folks around the country in all size towns and find a growing safety nazi set of mandates from...

    New eBay feedback rating system

    Like many things it sounds as though its implemented for the worst sellers. By and large you stick with people having 96% or more and you smoothly get what you paid for with no hassles.[huh]

    Any stories of the unexplained?

    My mother and I saw a UFO in St. louis back when I was a kid in the 50s. Before she died we both still recalled the incident same as when it occured.[huh]

    When is a Stetson not a Stetson???

    summer felt hat ?

    Wear what feels right to you. Back in the day all men didn't own straws that they automatically changed into and out of given the calendar. Lots of average working guys had felt hats on even in warm weather. The fashion sense was not a great concern as can be seen from era-contemporary photos.

    Styleforum Mean-Spiritedness

    That's it Baron. Even the dorks that don their faithful ball cap whenever they go out are in some sort of costume. It's simply the degree that some take it to which it can come off as eccentric. I wear virtually no vintage clothing save for a couple 50s-60s casual jackets. And my chinos...

    The loss of occasion

    I have to wonder if society didn't simply rebell against the previous eras conceptions of dress so that the pendulum swung wildly to ultra casual as the norm.[huh] I have been the only guy in a suit at various functions I've attended where I thought I should wear one like a funeral or...

    Since You Went Away (1944)

    That's true Daisy. Women are rarely seen "dressed up" in films unless they are portraying hookers. Guys today get a suit thrown on them and they look decent but it is more difficult to find the right costumes for a well dressed woman character.

    Do color older movies lose some of the magic for you?

    I enjoy the old Technicolor movies too for the sake of how the makers perceived the craft of cinema during the particular era in which they were made. As far as true and vivid color modern techniques far surpass the old. It doesn't mean they are better just different. One local VHF station...
