    Do any Loungers have a regular poker game with friends?

    I've been trying to organize a regular poker game twice a month for the last few weeks. I can't seem to get anyone on board, which seems strange to me because the guys I'm inviting aren't married and only one of them has kids. [huh] There will be a $5 buy in for poker games. We're planning...

    Perhaps just as Old Spice used to be seen as an old man's cologne, until recently?

    Rare and Expensive Books

    Very interesting! I'm sure there are even rarer copies of Mein Kampf, likely including the very first edition published in Germany. I know the UK received copies of Mein Kampf prior to the US; however, it was abridged.

    Hat Wearers: You're Just Trying to Be Don Draper. Stop It.

    Oh, I might add that something we Loungers take for granted is that we do things quite deliberately - with much purpose. The men take their time shaving (enjoying it thoroughly), we research hairstyles, we research fabrics, we think about how we'd like to present ourselves. Perhaps that's part...

    Hat Wearers: You're Just Trying to Be Don Draper. Stop It.

    I have! And I will! And I shall! Thank you, good day! lol I'm just kidding...well, I do have a handle bar mustache which has taken on a life of its own. And I've been known to wear a boater (although it's lost now :( ). And boy let me tell you what! If I could find a pennyfarthing...

    Any writers?

    :eusa_doh: 120k words is too long? What kinda agent are they? Many classical masterpieces were twice that! What do you suppose Moby Dick clocked in at? It was something like 800 pages - and I loved it! shakeshead That's too bad Jack. AmateisGal, I'd also like to be a full-time author...

    New Swanepoel/Stetsons: "Fewer than 50 of these hats will ever be produced."

    There I go, talking before looking...:eusa_doh: I didn't see the link posted, and I kept wondering where you all were getting these names like "the pablo" etc. Now that I've seen all the hats, I have to agree the Pablo is the best looking of the hats (which isn't saying much) and the...

    And You Wonder Why I'm a Cynic...

    He probably didn't even fight it. Seeing as he's a good samaritan, he probably saw it as his civic duty to pony up the cash and settle it there. Too bad. :(

    And You Wonder Why I'm a Cynic...

    Iowa is small towns. You would hope that these police officers were gracious, understanding - more a part of the community and less a part of the police-mindset so often encountered in larger citys. Believe it or not, every single small town I've spent time in has task masters and petty...

    And You Wonder Why I'm a Cynic...

    So Jack, how did this end up? Were you both able to fight this in court to overturn the ticket? Or did he end up paying? Any letters get sent to higher places?

    Does wearing vintage Get you noticed by the opposite sex?

    My love for vintage has done nothing more than ostracize me further from society, unfortunately. My community is so entirely wrapped up with being homogenized, they don't really appreciate someone on the fringes. I occasionally receive compliments, but nothing more. Women find me too old and...

    Any writers?

    God, I can't imagine - but I'll probably find out soon enough! :( I emailed my query letter on Friday night last week (07/30) along with three chapters. Their website said response is usually within 2-3 days, and precisely because they plan to deny most letters. It's been about 7 days...
