    Surrey Man guilds 60ft WWI trench in backyard.

    Maybe some band will want to make a music video of "Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag."

    Books on Radio Drama

    Oh yeah, that IS her! I'm reading David Eisenhower's "Going Home to Glory" which talks about-- though not in much detail-- Dwight Eisenhower being pals with Freeman Gosden. (Buddies from Augusta National Country Club.)

    What are you listening to?

    Colonel Stoopnagle and Budd... mid -1930s with guests Nick Lucas and Cleo Brown... announcer Andre Baruch (him, I saw in person once.)

    4-Way Cold Tablets

    This product name seems to have struck some people's funny bones. Over the years, I've heard several gags on old radio shows. I don't recall any being particularly funny.. therefore, I can only quote the one I heard yesterday, from Life With Luigi, in the late 1940s. There's a fundraising...

    Show us your TIES

    I may go back and grab the latest one I saw-- muted red and green with some off-white. "A little bit Christmas-y" which I prefer to cartoon reindeer and golfing Santas.

    Show us your TIES

    Ties with a shape to the skinny end A few times in thrift stores I've seen ties which have three things in common: Thin material (silk); About 11" shorter than the other ties; Narrow end widens to form a shape which would complement the wide end when worn "free." One was a Wembley; another...

    Strange Superstitions and The Superstitious Among Us

    Didn't look to see if anyone's mentioned the 1933 radio series "The Origin of Superstition." Fifteen-minute shows. I've only heard one-- about bad luck if anyone whistles in a theater dressing room.

    Bow Ties

    Penney's /Stafford has three versions of camo pattern bow ties-- green, rust, and gray. No, they're not the current US military, digital "blocks" camo.

    WEIRD stuff from the golden era

    My mom pushed mercury around in the office of her father-- a dentist.

    Costume Suggestions Desired. Help me look the part!

    You wouldn't WEAR the hat there, would you? (Now someone else can tell you what kind.)

    So a lady called me a Pimp today....

    There's such a thing as knowing what the neighborhood pimp looks like, without being closely associated with him.

    Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

    My aunt was a schoolteacher in Kentucky and had Lee Majors for a student. He brought Farrah to visit her, at least once. Hearing about this-- over the phone from 2500 miles away-- I tried not to pant audibly or make any other sound effects. Later, he brought another wife for a visit-- Playboy...

    Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

    There was an alternate version of the famous Lynda Carter poster-- rarely seen. But it was on the cover of Palm Springs Life. It's just a tad naughtier... but I didn't buy it for some reason!

    Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

    The girl with the car is reminiscent of the current poster girl at Charles David Shoes. That one's hair is only a bit reddish, but she has the same creamy skin. Of course, that being a shoe store, the pose is much different!

    RIP, the movie theater?

    I walk by the "slightly stale movies" plex ($1 to $4 depending on day of the week, and whether it's 3-D) and it's only about once in 2-3 months they have anything I want to bother with. But I drive 20 miles and spend $8 for a classic (or not-so-classic) at Old Town Music Hall.

    BOARDWALK EMPIRE (HBO) - Everything you wanted to bootleg about the Show!

    I remember Touché Turtle, but nothing about him having a partner. Hmmm... We had a dog who repeatedly earned the nickname " dum-dum," right around that time.

    Earliest Recorded Voice from 1878 Discovered and Restored

    "The Sinking of the Titanic" by Gavin Breyars has some nearly-buried voices. At one point I hear two ladies in conversation, but I have no idea what they're saying. And there's a fellow i take to be a retired British officer... I expect him to mention his service in "IN-jiah" at any moment...

    Halloween Costumes

    Some year, I'd like to be the basketball coach of Zombie High-- just blow a whistle and yell "Hey you guys, look alive out there!"

    Ban Charlie Brown

    I saw a post-Schulz CB shirt, and instead of saying "Good Grief" or "ARRRGHHH!" he was saying something containing "#*%@*#"... I don't recall him using that sort of language...
