    How Have You Personalized Your Lid?

    I always remove feathers, should there be any at all (I think I've only purchased two hats with feathers anyway). First I open the crown with some steam, let it sit for a day, then crease it. Occassionally, if I plan to wear the hat often, I will mess around with brim folding and tilting...

    Incredibly important jazz collection found

    I was going to chime in (as Tomasso, Fletch and Lizzie already have) and say bummer! We'll never get to hear these! :eek: :(

    Have you made a choice as to what you'll wear yet? Do you happen to have any pics of your choices?

    Born in a suit?

    Agreed! A well-fitting suit is precious in the right hands. Many suits are "One Size Fits All", involving bad "spots" on different bodies. Go to a thrift store and inspect jackets of your size - you'll notice some jackets fit right, and others look terrible. It's the difference in fit; you...

    Any writers?

    I know it, and anyway, if you were to cater to the masses, you couldn't get a book out fast enough before the new craze hit the racks. Vampires today, WWII tomorrow, followed by god-knows-what next! (aliens, again!?):rage:

    Formality; Single-breasted vs. Double-breasted suits

    I'm sure others will correct me if I'm wrong, but regarding formality, I don't think one is strictly formal over the other. If we're discussing business attire solely (and not evening wear), a single breasted (SB) peak lapel may be considered by some more formal than a double breasted (DB)...

    Any writers?

    I took your advice and had a few whiskey-colas Saturday while watching Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Girl In Lovers Lane. I sent a query to a referral and I'm waiting for a negatory response. Upon receiving the "NO!", I will send out a deluge of letters to agents.

    Always Coca-Cola? Ain't Nothin' Like The Real Thing!

    Every now and again the soda companies get it straight that savvy consumers by far enjoy cane sugar over corn syrup, and thus, they release "special editions" with sugar. Dr. Pepper has done it, Mt. Dew, Coke, Pepsi, and Royal Crown (aka RC Cola). I'm sure there have been some others...

    Who do you RESPECT most?

    lol I don't see this was ever resolved... Stephen Hawking and Carl Sagan, both, were/are quite amazing. I've always been fascinated with Hawking's take on the multiverse. Has anyone seen his discussion on why we should not solicit aliens? Very interesting!

    I remember when.....

    I'm young yet, but... I remember when the "remote control" was a switch box hardwired to the TV, and my grandparents wouldn't buy one because it was just as easy to stand up and change the channel. I remember when my grandmother took me to a local ice cream shop where they still served...

    Show us your Guns!

    Were those wood handles original, or aftermarket? They look great with those revolvers. I'm a huge fan of the 686.
