    Fedora Fever Fading???

    I agree with those who say buy the hat to wear and forget the "collectable value" crapola. We all get stung when people enter a hobby category and decide to collect or speculate by outbidding everyone and temporarily send prices up. Old cars have suffered this because non-car people got...

    Browsing for hats at the antique stores

    I can just picture all those hats coming from the estates of passed-away seniors citizens who migrated to Florida to retire.....

    Pass the Bucket - Eminem is Paladin.

    If mustaches aren't cool why do the so-called "hip" guys have them along with a 4-day beard growth. I guess they're OK as long as they're not well defined.:)

    Most Accurate WWII Battle Video Game?

    Go to www.combatsim.com and read all the pertinent reviews and updates of these and other titles. While I did not review those I have many others plus writen historical articles there. Stay with the PC format though. There are zillions of good games and combat simulations for PCs. There...

    My Vintage Car Aquisition Odyssey

    Mr. H I named my Packard after a beloved cat who was named for Jimi Hendrix. The cat had slick black hair. I call the car Hendrix or Drix for short. The Packard had broadcloth upholstery and except for the driver's seating area it is all original from 1950. At shows and cruise ins people...

    Pass the Bucket - Eminem is Paladin.

    Thinking of this some more and I think Matt Dillon could pull it off as Paladin if they're needing a younger guy, and he ain't all that young. Also the long thin face of Adrian Brody would work visually. Mustaches on anyone who plays Paladin is a given.

    Saggy Pants Trip up Perps

    Don't know how many of you watch Cops but about half the crooked dimwits they chase and catch are nearly out of their pants by the time they're apprehended......

    A crapshoot-$20 to play.

    Even if you use it as a "beater" you'd be ahead of things. Shows there's still lots of baragins out there.:)

    Der Fuehrer's Face

    But if an animator did a cartoon EXACTLY like the Disney one with the basic exception of Saddam Hussein and his cronies substituted and word play on his Hitleresque regime there would have been hell to pay by indignant PC people ranting about it. Remember Denmark had Alla depicted in a newpaper...

    Curiously, I never thought of this. Interesting. Has anyone viewed old flicks on the plasma screens? Wonder how they stack up.

    What's your Pastime?

    Samsa- Naw I couldn't drive it or trust it that far. There's more specialty car events in Southern California than I can get to as it is. But that WOULD be a cool thing. I could cruise by the old, empty Packard plant since it's still there too.

    Oow! I scored on Ebay with this 1940s-50s Ecudorean Panama for $16. Now I'm gonna be cool.:cool2: Ahhh! Been watching the vintage ones go for $50+ usually.

    WWII Espionage

    In postwar times of the late 1940s 50% of the OSS-cum-CIA operatives were ex-Nazis. Many had their backgrounds cleansed under Operation Paperclip. If it is to be believed, Allen Dulles, under the cover of covert plans called Operation Sunrise, Overcast, and Paperclip, actually brought SS...

    Der Fuehrer's Face

    Amazing. My 1st thought was that we could never do anything akin to this today or we'd upset the sensibilities of someone somewhere with our "Politically Correct Uber Alles!"

    How has ebay changed collecting locally, in person?

    Dr Greg- Ok that seems to follow the automobile stuff I noticed. I'd wondered if it was just an abberation. I guess it's universal. Your 1955 Mickey Mantle card is a dogearred piece of crap but it must be worth a lot cause the almost never touched one in lucite on Ebay is $1,500.lol

    Second-thoughts on vintage wearing in public...

    Hmm? It's all perspective I suppose. Every Old Navy commercial I've seen shows hoirrid crap that I wouldn't wear to be cremated. But that's me at my age. Those young whippersnappers seem to like it.[huh]
