    CLOVERFIELD (1-18-08)

    From the AICN review, it's a Jerry Bruckheimer-type movie, but instead of the camera following the 1% heroes who run toward the monster, its about the 99% who sensibly run away from the damn thing. And, as posted above, the monster is a true, innovative, Lovecraftian-looking horror and the...

    Just because it's originally of (pre) WWI vintage doesn't mean it didn't see use in WWII. Most of the Army's 1911's were arsenal refitted several times. They didn't trade them in much back then.

    The Elephant in the Room - Man Purse

    The comments against carrying a bag haven't been, for the most part, sex-based. The comments are: Practicality - Are we really always needing to carry all that stuff? It's a philosophical question similar to the modern perceived need to always have a cell phone on your person and ready for...

    Shoes for jeans

    Havana Joe oxfords. Smooth leather upper. Rubber, but not all clunky, sole with good traction. They can be shined up bright or just treated with beeswax. Go with jeans or khakis. Durable and comfortable, I've walked miles (at a time) in mine, on and off-road, and they're probably going...

    A cool, classic knife

    The Scandanavian Pukko type knives are good for the field, though they lack a guard. Good classic design, just don't try stabbing anyone with one. I carry an older model Benchmade AFCK (liner lock) with a 3" blade day-to-day. Safe and fast and works with my defensive knife fighting...

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Heck, when it's cold or wet I flip my suit jacket collar. Trenches and overcoats are not fashion first, they are outerwear. Weather conditions should determine how the collar is worn. In one of the first threads I read when I first got on the Lounge, Deckard (if I remember correctly...

    Favorite Song/Quote

    I actually first heard the two songs I mentioned on a Bryan Ferry album, so you aren't alone.

    Favorite Song/Quote

    Since "Paper Moon" was taken, how about "Falling In Love Again" and/or "Where Or When"?

    Surplus Enfield rifle? Still, just a couple hundred bucks from most distributors nowadays so not much more than that from a local store or online. Gun show might be a good place to look as well, I saw tickets offered a couple posts back. :D You can go to the online gun auction sites...

    Yes, any K frame grips, new or old, should fit just fine. You'll need to figure out if your (future) Mdl. 10 is a square or round butt though. The grip frame you show for the "old grips" is the square. Also, you should be able to get a pencil barrel Mdl. 10 or M&P rather than the heavy...

    Show us your Guns!

    Did a little googling. Can't find the actual brand of revolver they issue(d), You're almost certainly right in that it was a 4" .38 Spc. by either Colt or Smith. In '92 Chicago PD authorized a few different kinds of 9mm semi-auto (Beretta and other traditional DA autos) to transition to...

    The Elephant in the Room - Man Purse

    Project much? Or do you just assume you know the true motivation and rational behind other's comments? Perhaps such mental powers come from the rarified air of the big city? :rolleyes:

    The REAL gangster look

    Aside from style issues, if you've ever had to get at something on your belt in a hurry, it's a lot easier with a SB jacket. Fewer buttons and fabric to manipulate. Also, an unbuttoned SB just looks casual, an unbuttoned DB looks out of place. If you want to have quick access but not stand...

    Playin' The Numbers

    I believe the best description of a lottery I've ever heard is that they are "a tax on people who are bad at math". That said, there's something to be said for a little occasional gambling as entertainment, although I prefer games where I can exert some control. If it isn't actually taking...

    The morning after...Ow... my eyes...Hangover help.

    Liver transplants are easy. Get a nice new fresh lobe from someone else and you can commence to toughening it up as well. :D I think most liver problems come from a lack of conditioning, gotta keep it in practice or it'll go soft on ya. ;)
