    Who Does Without TV?

    Where do you folks go to download these radio shows? Is there a website that has them posted, or are you doing the Torrent/limewire thing?

    Who Does Without TV?

    You know, it may sound completely silly to some people out there, but I sincerely wish broadcasters would reinvent (or at least emulate) old radio shows like Bergen and McCarthy, The Shadow, etc. I would LOVE to come home, eat dinner and sit around the radio to listen to a good show.

    Who Does Without TV?

    Personally, I could go without television programming for the rest of my life. I'm currently using a set of rabbit ears for my digital "reception" and I only have about 3 channels coming in. It's been no great loss, although I find the move to digital, as well as its inferior reception, a bit...

    State laws

    I don't believe it's legal anywhere in the US to consume (including smoking) or be in possession of marijuana. I understand that some states have attempted to decriminalize possession under a certain amount, but I'm sure you can still be arrested for visibly smoking it. I imagine the west coast...

    Vintage Cartoons

    I agree with the stated sentiment: I think there is very much commercial interest involved in these decisions to pull certain cartoons and very little to do with actual ethics. I think a cartoon like Coal Black should be recognized as a masterpiece and showed often; at least if only to show...

    Court wear, the good, the bad

    When I accepted jury duty, I treated it as a serious public responsibilty. Thus, I made sure to suit up. Others commented and thought I was strange, but in any case, I felt it was necessary to at least appear I was taking my position seriously. I guess it falls along the same lines as weddings...

    Men/Would you wear these pants?

    Perhaps on a golf course, but certainly not my style. I often wear casual plaid shirts, but plaid pants aren't exactly something I would consider. I don't particularly dislike them, but I would definitely question one's motives, (i.e. trying for a "look", etc).

    Court wear, the good, the bad

    I find your perspective on appropriate court dress interesting; this coming from a US resident who's not familiar with anything otherwise. Thanks for your post! :cool2:

    Vintage Cartoons

    I'd like to address something that has been on my mind for the last few years. I apologize if I'm duplicating another thread, and if so feel free to banish this one. I purchased some cheap $1 DVDs from Walmart a few years ago filled with old cartoons including National Telefilm Associates...

    Humour about tragedy.

    Oh my, yes; I do agree! I say, if you're going to have the stones to laugh at something that could be painful to someone, you'd better be able to take what you dish. Nothing is as awkward as a lying coward trying to push their offence off as a "joke" or "kidding". I guess it's one of those...

    Humour about tragedy.

    I suppose I'm a cold-hearted sort. I view humor as an entirely subjective matter and do not believe people "cross-the-line", in general. Public figures who are in positions of power over others' lives, however, may show bad taste in humor, in my opinion. For example, I don't believe the...

    Your favorite Scotch? Your Favorite liquor in general?

    I will see if I can find some Cigar Malt on my next Wild Turkey run. I know a place that has all sorts of old stuff lying around.

    Your favorite Scotch? Your Favorite liquor in general?

    Oh, it is most definitely better - but the price...[huh] :rolleyes: ...that's a little steep. I think the 21 year is excellent and although still a little pricey, worth the money. The Stillman's Dram is amazing, as far as I'm concerned, but yeah, it's way out there in $$$. And speaking of...

    Your favorite Scotch? Your Favorite liquor in general?

    Favorite Scotch is The Dalmore Stillman's Dram, and pretty much anything else by them as well.

    Blended vs. Single Malt

    When I started trying Scotches, they were strictly blends and I immediately decided Scotch was not for me. It wasn't until I started my brief forray into the world of wine/spirits that I had an opportunity to try a single malt and WOAH, what a difference. I've had JW Blue, Black, Green and...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    I agree on both of your above points; thank you for the clarification and yes, I love me a Turkey Sammich! ;) If you're interested in the Yellow Tail shiraz, I highly recommend any shiraz by Penfolds. You won't be disappointed, although I think Yellow Tail is a little more peppery and has...

    Weird Food Combinations

    I love almost all foods but I have very few "weird" combos. I rarely even use condiments. In any case, the weirdest thing I could think of that I really enjoy are Ruffles Potato chips smashed up and covered in Louisiana (brand) Hot Sauce. MMMM! Put it in a bowl and eat it with a fork.

    HELP ... WHERE to start?

    You know, I think each person starts where they feel most comfortable. I started with fedoras because I've always been drawn to them. Then I moved into suits and shoes. From there shirts and accessories. And soon to follow were etiquette, style, class, etc. However, some people start with...

    Riverview Park; Des Moines, IA 1929-1979

    I thought I would share this with you Loungers. Long ago, in a place far away, there used to be things known as "Amusement Parks" geared towards the innocence and enjoyment of children (side note: there were also beasts known as "drive-in theaters" which we can discuss another time). Des...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Wild Turkey 101, neat. I don't care what connotations wild turkey may have; this is a fine sipping whiskey for fans of Knob Creek and Woodford Reserve. I love the stuff! :)
