    A Resurgence of Hats

    Pompidou, you raise an interesting point - we should be more flexible in how we approach etiquette. Hats, however, are about as old as time and it was not uncommon to doff one's head covering; whether the knight lifted his visor to the maiden, or the soldier keeps his helmet on specifically...

    Favorite classic horror movies

    Absolutely! Mitchum is chilling in both rolls - loved them!

    Do you think you're drawn here because of past life memories....

    Let me tell you - I've never felt like I was drawn to a past love until recently. It's a strange feeling; the kind that gives you tingles and causes you to look over your shoulder. You're instantly comfortable with them, instantly satisfied, instantly at home. Sure, there are the difficulties of...

    First Dates

    Unfortunately, I have all sorts of whacky issues with this. Either I'm staring right into your soul, or I'm avoiding all eye contact. I have my reasons, but none of them are as simple as, "I'm some crazy/unconfident guy; run away." If that was the case, I'd just come out and say it. Luckily...

    Article: "Should A Kindergartner Really Be Listening To Nicki Minaj?"

    Bless it all - I didn't see your comment here. Well - I agree, haha. Sorry to repeat!

    Article: "Should A Kindergartner Really Be Listening To Nicki Minaj?"

    PB, When you say, "this crowd", to whom are you referring? The varied members of the Fedora Lounge numbering above 21k members? Or the crowd commenting in this thread? Are you, then, separating yourself from said group? Are you, then, not a part of this discussion somehow? What kind of...

    Article: "Should A Kindergartner Really Be Listening To Nicki Minaj?"

    And this specifically highlights my argument. Of course one cannot simply bury their child's head into the sand to protect them from real or imagined harms. Certainly the neighbor children, and quite likely the neighbor adults, may play roles as bad influences in a child's life. And you're...

    Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

    If an older gentleman touched my MissHawthorne's rear, I think there would be problems - and I would steal his hat regardless of how poor his taste lol. But paying a compliment is always appreciated! Nothing wrong with a few flattering words of encouragement! :D I used to own a '95 Honda...

    A Modest Proposal

    Oh my land, it would be utter chaos. We'd have to rely on avatars, and that's not saying much. I'm still pleased with my username. [huh]

    A Modest Proposal

    This is more or less where I stand. I'm Undertow on the Lounge, but David in person. If you and I have met in propria persona, or if, perhaps, we've had discussions over PM, and thus we are familiar with one another, you may call me by my first name on the Lounge. Otherwise, you only know...

    I iron mine... do you iron yours?

    I used to think I was really pretty efficient at ironing, but I was shown the door this weekend when my MissHawthorne came into town. She had 8 shirts done (4 w/starch) in about 30 minutes. That would have taken me hours. lol Believe me - a woman's hard work and finesse is much appreciated in...

    Vintage things you're happy are still here.

    Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

    Hello Rue :wave: (I've never seen that smiley. I like that one.) No posting of newdz? Thank ye gods. And what's this about a rubber room? For some reason, the Monty Python skit about the Protestant looking down his nose at "those bloody Catholics" just prior to a well-known song, "...is...

    Just thought I'd drop in before this thing gets thrown into the eternal flames of lockdum. ;)

    For Wearing 'Golden Era' Vintage, Are Men Socially Castigated More than Women?

    My lady and I have discussed this phenomenon briefly. When I leave the house and go to the grocery store, order some meat, pick up some eggs and milk, and go home, people see me as an eccentric gentleman and they politely give me dirty looks, while muttering, "What a ___[enter anything you...

    Dear Fedora Lounge,

    Excellent attempt sir, touche. Fortunately, 99% of the members on this forum are intelligent, civil folks who prefer clean discourse over inane arguments and one-upping. Moreover, some of us are quite familiar with online forums, including folks of your ilk. Perhaps we troll ourselves. But...

    The 40s Man

    Oh that is simply marvelous! An inspiration to which I aspire!

    What would it be, if you could own just one thing?

    I guess a S&W 6" .357 magnum would suffice (with all the ammo I could use in a lifetime). I could hunt with it, protect with it, and by golly, I bet it could take the edge off a long day! (Now we're just talking about owning objects, right? Because I know there are people I absolutely...

    The general decline in standards today

    :offtopic: I wouldn't decry "fatty" foods. Unprocessed animal fats and some processed dairy fats (e.g. butter) are typically regarded with disdain in this country, if not the entire "western" civilization. The body absolutely needs these fats and processes them quite thoroughly. The...
