    Of Sheep-Dip, Rot-Gut, and Furniture Polish. The worst of the worst.

    Ah the memories of youthful alcohol indiscretions.....I remember an incident involving a Jack In The Box drive through, and Bacardi 151....Amazing how an incident imprints on your mind.:(

    Barflys, what kind of atmosphere do you prefer?

    First and foremost, the bartenders must be extremely well versed in the art of making a proper drink. All of the right seating and decor means nothing, if your drink is sub-par. This is where I go regularly: http://www.anvilhouston.com/

    The fall of the phone

    My aging cell phone is starting to qualify as an antique. I thought about a more modern gadget, but have yet to actually go as far getting a new phone. But then I'm still waiting for my personal helicopter with a chrome grille.

    WWII Scale Model Aircraft

    The '52 was a decent kit in it's day, a local hobby shop had a Monogram factory built kit on display for many years with the operating 'jet sound". I wanted one, but never had the space to display one properly, so I'd end up with a 60 cent Hawk Komet with the orange plastic flame.

    WWII Scale Model Aircraft

    They are pretty rare in the old Lindberg boxes, I have a full set of them in the early Lindberg boxes, made just after they changed the name of the company from Olin. (Olsen & Lindberg) I also have the private aircraft like the SeaBee, Ercoupe, Navion, Bonanza, and Cub, from Lindberg. They...

    Gin vs Vodka (Martini)

    Nah,.......a well made cocktail has some flavor, anyone can toss down a shot of cold hooch. The bloodless 1950s "Madison Ave." type martini is simply boring.

    Gin vs Vodka (Martini)

    It's in many vintage cocktail books. Very popular in the 1930s, until the Martini was ruined in the 1950s.

    Gin vs Vodka (Martini)

    The last one is a proper Martini, anything else is a cold glass of Gin. Vodka?:eusa_doh: .......never.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I have a not (currently) working Dumont TV in the same state, looks like new (1949)......someday I'll find a person to get it working again. I remember when it did work when my Grandmother had it, I was fascinated that you tuned it like a radio, complete with green tuning eye.

    The Miracle of Absinthe

    The modern 90 proof Herbsaint is not too bad, it's generally looked upon more as a mixing ingredient, and the 100 proof vintage repro Herbsaint Original is a better stand alone drink. (Herbsaint Original is quite nice in a Sazerac too) I understand some internet crank likes to drink Herbsaint...

    The Miracle of Absinthe

    The 90 proof Herbsaint is less complex than J.M. Legendre's original version, and is more forward in the use of star anise. I've gone through a couple of bottles of the new Herbsaint Original myself.;)

    Early Art Deco Radio Lamp.

    A couple I have. This one was a freebie from my Grandmother, I'm looking for the right second console to put under it. The lamp on my Zenith console:

    Radio Restoration

    What brand, and year range could help. You may be able to drop in a generic turntable/record changer from the same era in the old cabinet, look for a donor turntable from the usual places. I remember watching a lot of 8-Tracks self destruct.
