    Baby it's (not) cold outside

    It was in the 40's 3 days ago. 90% of the melt-off was done. Yesterday morning the snow started and we ended up with over a foot in <24 hours. Of course all the snow-removal equipment had been warehoused and the street-cleaners brought out. :eusa_doh:

    Classic firearms of the classic era.

    ... and the gun too, a little. Unless, of course, the guy has the power to kill a yak from 200 yards... with mind bullets. :p

    Classic firearms of the classic era.

    You strike me as more of a .32 Colt than a revolver kinda guy. Those were big in noir movies and are slim and classy.

    Vintage Concealed Weapons

    I think the Bodyguard and shrouds are both '50s era. Smith's Centennial goes back a lot further. Not a lot that's really "new" in guns other than materials used.

    Vintage Concealed Weapons

    In John Bianchi's "Blue Steel and Gun Leather" he points out that most early holsters were designed for external belt wear of large pistols. Civilians and even police in the early years carried their smaller, concealable pistols in reinforced, lined and/or specially shaped pockets. So...

    Some new styles for 2008

    First off, beautiful hats, I love the dyed. If the names are still in flux... When I think "Panama hat" I think coastal. People wearing them by the sea or a river. Maybe instead of yet another "Outback" named hat, a name like "Inlander" or "Hinterland" or "Veldt"? Something that...

    Snake Plissken Wears Vintage

    What's the leather weight? I too like the buttons, but that would be a unique riding jacket either way.

    UK anti-vintage rules (well, kinda)

    You don't need handcuffs and shackles. :rolleyes: Just one shackle, to attach the chain. You know, the chain anchored to the stove. ;)

    UK anti-vintage rules (well, kinda)

    The simple solution would seem to be to keep the lawyers away from the typing pool. That's so wrong. :p

    UK anti-vintage rules (well, kinda)

    This is correct. Modesty in dress is required, as it is in Judaism and Christianity, but the burqua is not specified. Much of the truly misogynistic stuff you see is traditional tribal practice from the millennia prior to Islam. The animists in Africa practice female mutilation and poorer...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I took it that the alpha male set the trap, he came out that night, studied it, and set up Neville for revenge and to get his mate back. That the infected were getting more intelligent, more human. The original book is worth reading, as it explores that. I also would have expected him to...

    If you weren't so insistant on a full skin mount we could roast it in the same pit used to trap it.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Spoilers contained Here's what I got from context within the movie: He wasn't there to conduct the evacuation, he was a military doctor, a virologist, who's job it was to defend the US and its people against biological warfare attacks. He lived locally and was also the lead scientist...
