    I think we should declare the Lounge an "Artisan" web forum.

    Games with one-syllable names

    I got it-- it turns out to be a "game" of a less formal nature. "It's a sort of a kind of a game, I made up out of my own head." "Oh... BLOCKS?"

    Games with one-syllable names

    In a lot of these 1940 shows, there are remarks about her... kookiness. Not so many "dumb Dora" type jokes, but highlighting her non-standard thinking. On my mp3 player, backing up and replaying is a bit of a hassle, but I'll have to do that and try to figure it out. When I got this disk...

    Games with one-syllable names

    I'm really only bringing it up because... on a Burns and Allen show from 1940 (my copy of which, has poor sound quality) Gracie says "We're going to play a game I made up out of my own head.." and George says (well at first I thought he said) "Oh... FLUFF?" I don't think he's saying FLUFF...

    Hereford, Texas WW2 POW camp!

    I don't know if it was any good, but there was a Kristy McNichol tv-movie called "The Summer of My German Soldier." (She lives near a POW camp...)

    Who Did You Just See Live?

    Formal Wear Primer

    Gracie Allen did a joke about her brother leading an orchestra, but only being able to afford the back half of a tuxedo (the audience view.) It turned out okay, except that he caught cold from standing in front of the wind instruments.

    "It would take Man Mountain to..."

    Arthur Fiedler went to fires, as a spectator sport.

    "It would take Man Mountain to..."

    Forever, my mom has been saying things like "It would take Man Mountain to move that cabinet, without taking everything out of it first" and "It takes Man Mountain to open the box these cookies come in" and "It took Man Mountain to open this jar" At some point, she explained that he was a...

    Burma-Shave signs without rhyme?

    I THOUGHT it might be like that! (I had that same book at one time.) So someplace else they may be displaying: HIGHWAYS ARE NO PLACE TO SLEEP THE QUESTION IS HOW YOU ARRIVE (which may be even worse)

    Burma-Shave signs without rhyme?

    These six signs are among the roadside decor on display in our local example of the "Roadhouse Grill" chain: IT'S NOT HOW FAST OR SLOW YOU DRIVE STOP YOUR CAR TO COUNT YOUR SHEEP Burma-Shave Do you suppose these are newly-made "Antiques" from someone who invented their own message, not...

    It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!

    800 to 830 on Halloween night-- that's a good airtime for most people to miss it completely, or else have it interrupted two dozen times. At least in temperate regions...

    Ketron Earwood, The Tie Merchant

    She's a "regular" at Vintage Expo when it comes to Santa Monica... but not ALWAYS there. Does anyone know how to reach her to find out if she's attending next time (in two weeks)? I don't want to spend the time (and gas) if she's not.

    Wingtip collar/ plain-front shirt (on a budget)

    Why does a tuxedo shirt have a shorter collar... other than to confound me?

    Old Time Radio Shows

    Chuck Cecil's The Swingin' Years was, for about a decade I guess, carried on the Dodgers Radio Network. He could fill-in those odd-time segments before and after a game, and during rain delays. Less hassle for the local stations... In the early 70s I was hearing him "around" Dodger games on...

    Wingtip collar/ plain-front shirt (on a budget)

    Oh well, I suppose from now through Halloween, I could go around in Ghostly White makeup, and then my neck would match the collar.

    Wingtip collar/ plain-front shirt (on a budget)

    Maybe they won't ask about a wedding when I'm wearing a four-in-hand instead of a bow tie... they'll just be confused. I tried on a couple of bows which were handy, but they looked too chunky. Problem was, I was in the house and most of my bows are out in the car! They keep migrating... (but...
