    Are Classy Restaurants Lowering Dress Code Standards in Your Area?

    Mildred I like what you say about womens' shabby attire reflecting their inner selves. I think that goes for guys too. If we have a class of grungy slobs that look like losers they probably classify themselves as loses too with low self esteem and self worth, if not consciously, unconsciously.

    How Active Are You

    Yeah Linc, how many times have we heard of "tenants" refusing to pay rent and the resultant 6 months needed to get an eviction notice served all the while the slobs are destroying the property.:eusa_doh: Or when the zealots at the EPA bar an owner from selling or developing his land because...

    Your most non-vintage preference or attributes ...

    Like many I understand and use modern technology especially PCs. And while I enjoy owning a vintage auto and like them all, I wouldn't want to be forced to drive one over my El Dorado on a daily basis.

    Tattoos.

    Like many, I've watched Miami Ink and appreciate the artistry that many of the more elaborate ones represent. Tatooing has gone way beyond the "old days" of tats of 'USMC' or 'Mother'. It's sort of like American Chopper, I don't own a bike but like to see the innovation that goes into the...

    minor gripe

    Thanks for the tips folks! I happen to find the same nomeclature with old auto parts and accessories I seek for my Packard. It's a bit better though with 'vintage' or 'antique' usually excluding the stuff from Pep Boys but not always. When someone has a pair of fog lights from 1998 they're...

    minor gripe

    Every time I peruse Ebay searching using "vintage" in conjunction with any type of headwear this jamoke that has about 300 listings clutters up the category with his damned "vintage new" descriptions. How can something be vintage new? It can't! It's just a ruse to get his stuff seen by those...

    To Tilt or Not to Tilt...That is the Question!

    What Prepares You?

    A TV ad might get me interested and if the paper has a description it might warm me up to it. I don't care what so-called professional reviewers think since I've seen far too many movies they nixed which were quite acceptable to me. Often the edited content for TV ads is so poorly done that...

    Help with strange phone calls

    I had some friends who were on vacation in like Vermont and his cell on his belt somehow got moved to dial 911. The highway patrol caught up with him and alerted him of the mis-dial. My wife's old phone didn't fold and when I'd use it it would dial a one digit speed dial in the memory when...

    Song lyrics you messed up as a kid

    Ah yes, it was the late 60s and the bikini bar I frequented often played a Creedance Clearwater tune called Bad Moon Rising. The lyrics partially went: "Don't go 'round tonight, well it's bound to take your life. There's a bad moon on the rise." Many people originally mistook it for "There's...

    do you have lots of competition while searching flea markets / thrift shops, etc?

    Every other jamoke and stumble bum pictures themselves an Ebay entrepeneur of large scale compelling them to jump around in an effort to try to obtain and sell crapola with the all empowering "vintage" in their description. A fair portion is broken junk. All anybody who peruses thrift store and...

    The Joys of JURY DUTY!

    I'm waiting for my doctor to return the form excusing me from it. Since cancer and urinary tract surgery 1 1/2 years ago I have to go about 2-3 times and hour- not conductive to the jury format.:eusa_doh:

    Every skipper needs a hat...

    Great, unusual car! Really nice to see you showing it at vintage events instead of hiding it in the garage. I have a cheapy blue skipper's cap I used to wear a lot. They're fun and nobody else wears them!

    They Say Em' From the Golden Era - Slang & Memorable Phrases

    Anyone remember the term gat? Came from shortening Gattling gun to just gat. Was used during the prohibition era to name any gun, but specifically the thompson submachine gun, aka The Tommy Gun.

    D-Day 6th June 1944
