    Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?

    I know it, and that's what makes me sick. To see someone's retirement savings crushed, I don't know... I've been debating pulling the plug on my 401(k) as well, paying the outrageous 40% and sticking what's left in my gun safe. I don't care if it doesn't grow, I just hate losing it...

    Dinner Party Etiquette

    Just to run back to the original topic quickly - I try to avoid the entire mess of too early/too late, and I prefer to show up on time; literally on the minute. Personally, I would prefer my guests did the same should I throw a party. If I say it starts at 6, be there at 6, not 6:15, or else...

    Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?

    Which is why I stopped socking away into mine, and changed from stocks to bonds and money market. Not that it's going to help. [huh] One way or the other, "they'll" get my money. I won't be satisfied until the Dow plummets below 7k in under a month. Then we can really start looking towards...

    The general decline in standards today

    I agree with you on this. Mike Judge is a bit of an unsung hero. I'd like to add (and probably with much disagreement from others) that Ren&Stimpy creator John Kricfalusi is in the same boat. His work with R&S seemed the epitome of stupid, much like Beavis and Butthead. However, there was a...

    The general decline in standards today

    No but seriously...those are real? Someone came up with those and said, "Hey fellas, I have a great idea for an ad campaign!"? Really?

    The general decline in standards today

    Fast food (of all brands) was already declining in my taste selection by that point, but those disgusting, juvenile commercials were the proverbial cataclysmic asteroid. :rip:

    Now that, my friend, is a stretch.

    The general decline in standards today

    I believe there was an issue along these lines brought before the US Supreme Court regarding a Michigan Law School and students claiming reverse discrimination due to quotas. I'm not sure of the outcome unfortunately, and I don't currently have the time to look this up. But, if anyone else is...

    Straight Razors

    I've been using my Dovo 6/8 off and on, but cannot lately. I have the stones and strop, but can't achieve a good edge on my own yet. I've returned to safety razors for the time being, but I'll be getting the straight sharpened up eventually so I can get back to the best shave of my life.

    The general decline in standards today

    At the outset of the Iraq war, there were some grumblings from various political pundits that a draft could be considered, as well as nuclear "retaliation". There was also a particular politician who felt pushing through a draft bill would stop the war because average American families would...

    Reading on paper or screen

    Here's where I disagree. When a story specifically decries the decline and destruction of a beloved medium, and when the author himself is so devoutly "old-fashioned" in his particular habits of writing and storytelling, it would only seem natural that he shouldn't place that specific title...

    This is a question for the GUYS...

    ...because she's driving? Try because we're walking home together! Much more romantic. Heck, I don't even know if I would have driven to the dance at all. Ever heard of light rail my friend? This is 1941 we're talking about, right?

    Printed only, please. I realize there are conveniences and benefits to e-books but I don't need to be convinced.

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

    I heard he was thinking about doing his show. I have to admit - guilty pleasure here - I loved the Peewee's Playhouse show. Loved it. I loved both of his movies too. Alright, badger me all you like; I can take it.
