    Hat Flap??? Anyone tried?

    Certainly looks warm. I'd be more inclined to use a scarf. [huh]

    Universe kicked me in the junk so I dialed in Xmas Tunes

    I listen to Bing all year 'round, and sometimes his Xmas stuff pops in, too. As far as strictly holiday music, I also wait until Thanksgiving is over, the turkey's put away and the tree goes up. Then I can start officially.

    "Thirty Things that Need to Stage a Comeback"

    Yes, and yes. lol I never understood drinking games either. Why wait around to drink? Just drink. If you want to inebriate yourself so thoroughly as fall-down, smash-faced, then do it. No need to complicate matters with a thinly veiled game. And I agree - we need more board games and card...

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    Excellent advice all, and thanks for the sites! When I move into a house shortly (been looking for a few weeks now), I'm going to be sewing some curtains, too.

    Censored!

    That's an interesting point because I believe corporations used that logic to argue they deserved to contribute to campaigns anonomously and without limit.

    Censored!

    But are pedophilic thoughts illegal? Or pedophilic words? Why shouldn't someone be able to write about it? For instance, The Poor Man's James Bond vol.2 describes in great detail how to make a silencer for nearly any firearm. Unless you live in a Class III state, and possess the correct...

    Censored!

    And if you're ever browsed The Poor Man's James Bond, you'd agree very much of it is illegal as well. ;)

    Censored!

    You're right - a private company like Amazon is not obligated to sell literature. Moreover, the 1st Amend. only protects citizens from government interaction. However, Amazon has already stated they don't censor their books - but they've pulled this publication due to its content and due to...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Argento's Inferno (1980). Very stylistic, but light on plot.

    Censored!

    Please refer to the following BBC story as a backdrop to the topic: Row over Amazon sales of paedophile advice guide We've had some great discussions on this board lately and I was hoping we could all intellectually weigh in on something else. I read the above article this morning and I...

    What Happened to Florsheim?

    I have to agree to some extent; Florsheims, Bulovas - they are a really mixed bag now. I've seen some utterly wretched Flor's with the cheapest pleather one could buy. Utter garbage. But like Doran, I have a pair of Flor wingtips in cordovan that are really solid. In fact, their my favorite...

    German magazine scans 1930s

    I can certainly understand your feelings on this and I would support your decision to censor some of the pics. However, I will note how timeless these styles are regardless to their country of origin. Sharp pictures, thanks for sharing!

    "Thirty Things that Need to Stage a Comeback"

    No kidding? That's really poor management in my opinion. Ceramic mugs require minimal upkeep and provide a lifetime of use. Plastic/foam cups fill up landfills. Quite unfortunate for you, sir. Should you ever come to Des Moines, your first joe is on me (and it will be in ceramic)!

    All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette

    Ticker Tape Parade For Truman Original caption: 10/24/1949-New York, NY: President Truman is showered with ticker tape as his car passes down 34th Street in New York on the way to the cornerstone-laying ceremony at the U.N. permanent headquarters, Oct. 24. The occasion also marks the fourth...

    "Thirty Things that Need to Stage a Comeback"

    I don't know what kinds of places you have in your neck of the woods, but all three coffee shops I frequent have ceramic mugs. Perhaps it's the difference between Chain vs. Locally Owned? [huh]

    This generation of kids...

    Well, I don't think that's entirely fair. Albert Fish was quite mad after all. And certainly, Wertham had a point that society would have greatly benefited from the examination of Fish, seeing as he was supposedly gripped by the most known fetishes one person could muster. On the other hand...

    Any writers?

    Oh, by the way...*insert drum roll* I finally finished my "small town" novel. Penned the last scenes two nights ago. Of course, the editing process will take a year or so, and I'll likely end up rewriting or adding scenes, but in any case, the thing is done. I've been working on it for the...

    Any writers?

    I really don't blame you. This "market" business has me fed up with the whole publishing idea. Of course, once you start writing you never stop, but perhaps dying in relative obscurity and leaving progeny to publish your work would be better. I finally stopped sending inquiries on my other...

    Interests of other lifetimes.

    I've always been fond of medieval, feudal Japan, as well as medieval Europe. I also greatly enjoyed reading about the life and conquests Ghengis Khan through the Middle/Dark ages.
