    Kugelblitz - an interesting read

    I don't know it in that regard but my research indicates something else. Here's a small segment on the Kugelblitz from a book I wrote: LIGHTNING BULLET It is well-known that learned Germans realized the war was lost very early on. The assassination attempt on Hitler and the underground...

    Microsoft Annoys ME!

    I worked in the CD/DVD replication industry for several years and can tell you that counterfit discs are being made every day. The RIAA is the supposed watchdog of the music industry and sent bulletins to replicators regularly to make them aware of titles that have shown up unauthorized...

    Period Films and Inaccuraces

    Wow! I'm impressed you guys. You all have seen lots of flubs most would have missed. I just always feel like the Star Wars nerds that live to go through films frame by frame looking for flaws because they have no lives so I usually never mention errors. At any rate most are not so major as to...

    Period Films and Inaccuraces

    And here's some more flaws for the anally retentive to complain out in movies: "Platoon" (1986): Set in 1967, the film shows Bunny (Kevin Dillon) listening to Merle Haggard's "Okie from Muskogee". It was not recorded until 1969. "The Last Emperor" (1987): Johnson (Peter O'Toole) is...

    You May One Day Make Yourself Invisible

    The military is working on camoflauge that reflects the electronically background and projects it on the opposite side of the clothing so the viewer sees more of the same thing that is behind the wearer. Anyone see the aliens in Predator?;)

    Has Target gone too far?

    That link isn't direct. One needs to click on the "home" to get there. I dunno the stuff is at least identifyable as "Target." [huh] One thing for sure the advertising company that does their TV commercials is superbly innovative. They're such a stand-out comapared to any other store's ads...

    Your favorite silent movies.

    The only thing worth watching for me are the comedies- Keaton, Keystone cops etc. Never cared much for the "genius" of Chaplin.

    WWII Aircraft excavated and Fly Again

    The crate ended up costing upwards of $7 million and they scavenged needed parts from other planes there too. The original projection was $2 million. Looks cool but way too expensive.

    Fedora to accompany jeans and t-shirt

    Last week at our weekly classic car cruise-in there was a guy with an old Chevy who had on a white T shirt under a white short sleeve dress shirt, open and untucked with black pants of the Dockers-type snug fit variety. They weren't dressy at all. He had a black fedora with about a 2 inch brim...

    What happened to admiration?

    I've always been a connoisseur of fine automobiles endowed with performance and comfort. I have enjoyed many a drive in a high performance car on lovely days. I've sped and slid through turns and simply relaxed in the comfort cocoon my vehicle offered. I have never ever been insecure in my...

    weird wing

    I gave up on that show long ago after one season. The way it is written and choreographed in dialogue you have to ingest every scene and line of the script so as to understand some obtuse future reference to a previous statement. Miss a line of conversation and in 2 weeks you're going "Huh?"...

    Where to buy?

    ufguy11- the key to Ebay is patience. You can get a quite decent fedora for as little as 10 bucks. Just watch, wait and bit ONLY to your limit. Ebay seems to flow in cycles. One hat will get lots of attention one week and then a similar hat will go down to the last hour without a bid and you...

    Update on my head.

    As one who has personally gone through a lot of "medical crap" over that past couple of years I can identify at how much better you feel. Big relief.:eusa_clap

    "it"

    I feel a big part of the "it" is being comfortable with who you are. Perhaps the multi-millions contributed but Howard had "it" too.

    Show us your vehicles

    Reno your '39 Ford is a thing of beauty! The 39s and 40s are simply the best looking of the era in my humble opinion.

    Was Your Hometown Retro?

    This was my high school built in 1916. Dubbed 'the castle' for obvious reasons.
