    What do you use to shave?

    I should have posted here forever ago. I was using a straight for some time until it dulled. I can't find any decent places to get it sharpened, so I've resorted to a double edge. I picked up a couple old screw tops from an antique store - one in brass, one in chrome. However, my daily DE is a...

    Today's Pinup Fashion a Sly Wink to the Past - New York Times

    Well, at least I got to be a witness at her second wedding. They left straight from work on their lunchbreak, got married in the court room, and went back to work. I brought chocolate chip cookies since there wasn't any cake to be had. I'm not adverse to ladies/gentleman having had relations...

    You guys can get Templeton...and it's an Iowa whiskey? Boy, that doesn't surprise me. We're always 10 years behind everyone, even when it's our own brew. :( Chains and bondage, eh? Now you're speaking my language!

    Ah moonshining. Now that sounds like a great time. I've been half tempted to get into the habit myself.

    If you're in IA, you'll hav eto get a hold of my lady who goes by the handle of MissHawthorne here on the lounge. She's trying to get me out of the house more, and we're always looking for vintage people with whom we might be social. Templeton is just darn near impossible to find, isn't it...

    Tell me about it. You go to the bar, there's a bartender and someone sitting by the jukebox who knows her. You go to McDonald's, one of the fry cooks waves. You hit the auto parts store, some guy in the wipers aisle calls out. It's bizarre, and most definitely ain't my thang. ;)

    Some thoughts about vintage vs modern style

    I think what Metatron is saying is, according to our current standards, a guy in the Era couldn't dress poorly, per se, because the only thing available were "decent" clothes. Consider this - what people called undershirts then, are basically what we call t-shirts now, with some spacial...

    I have the Veblen, which mirrors the Kenmoor. I found it comfortable for two full days of walking.

    Have you ever seen the movie Boondock Saints? I was really good friends with this girl (platonic, mind you) from high school on into our current age. We used to hang out all the time, all around town, had a real gas. But no kidding - I couldn't go to the gas station without meeting 3 guys...

    So a jew, a catholic, and a muslim walk into a bar. Within minutes, they begin to argue about religion. After a few hours of intense debate, all three left dissatisfied and upset... The anti-joke strikes again! lol

    Exactly. What a chump. You know, I think the victims of all this are the eventual husbands and boyfriends of these women. These girls think this is fun, and - god, I don't know - cool? But if/when they eventually grow up and want a family, the man in their lives will be quite hurt to find...

    Maybe if you walk into a room full of teenage boys, then yes, I believe they will think you're something special. If you walked into a room full of men, they would mutter under their breath and shake their heads. Real men are far more impressed when a friend walks into the room with his wife...

    Well, I think technically everyone out here is either German Catholic, Irish Catholic or Other. lol

    See, there's so little to do in IA, we thank various gods (e.g. Bacchus) for our plentiful booze. We're all a bunch of illiterate pagan farmers out here, after all. Or wait...crap. Were we illiterate pagan farmers...or proletariat vegan charmers? Ah, who's countin' anyway?

    That's the part I never got - why pay some kind of crazy $$$ to drink at a bar when you can get fuzzy at home? I don't even mean to get drunk 97% of the time. I have a very low tolerance and I'm a fool for 101 Proof Wild Turkey on the rocks. Might as well stay home and listen to records, I...

    Ah, may the god's bless Iowa. Our state law allows alcohol sales until 2am, along with bars. So we can leave the bar at 1:30, hit the gorcery store (because yes, our local Wal-Mart, Hy-Vee, etc. can sell booze with the food) and get home by 2:00am loaded for the "after party".
