    1932 again?

    And I've been pondering this ever since the recession started in 2008. In fact, I give this regular thought almost every day. Remember when Lord Cameron mentioned that the UK was only "nine meals from anarchy"? We've already seen what happened in New Orleans during Katrina. I would really...

    1932 again?

    I agree with all those who've posted thusfar and I believe we're at a consensus that 2010 is certainly not 1932. However...I believe we are at a tipping point of sorts. Sure, people have different sensibilities and tastes nowadays, people have different priorities (good or bad), etc. and for...

    Akubra "Bobby" western hat

    Could someone please remind me about Akubras and their tendency to shrink? It seems like some of you Akubra owners had stated that the brand either tends to shrink or is already sized small. As previously posted (just above) I may be purchasing a Bobby or Woomera, but I'm in-between a 7 1/2 -...

    Akubra "Bobby" western hat

    Great post guys! :eusa_clap I've been looking around locally for a while and the unfortunate truth is I'd have to settle for a pretty lame lid if I wanted something from Stetson, Resistol or Justin. Stetson is fine but quite predictably bland. I like the Resistol Chute 5x open crown, but...

    I wonder if my Taurus hammerless .357 should be checked? :eek:

    Barbeque

    My Lady's birthday is nearing (07/05) and the party is scheduled for this Saturday. I'll be getting an 8lbs boston butt and smoking for roughly 10 hours. Once it's done, I'll pull it and we'll have pork tacos/fajitas with margaritas. That and I'm baking a cinnamon nutella cake from scratch with...

    The modern cowboy hat

    I know I've been waiting to get my hands on a felt cowboy hat - just a matter of time. I'll be going for something a little more distinct, or at least something I can steam into different shapes. I currently wear a straw with generic crease. I love it, and it's great for sunny Iowa summers.

    Show us your Guns!

    Wow, those look great. That AR is tiny, haha. And that .22 is pretty sweet. Who made the .22? Is there a model stamped on the barrel?

    The modern cowboy hat

    Frankly, I'm confused as to whether you're attempting to pose a question, or simply make a statement. Are you saying, "I believe there are subtle differences in modern western style hats, and I believe you all are over-simplifying this topic". <-- Statement Or are you asking, "Do you all...

    The modern cowboy hat

    I was basing my observation on visual aspects alone, most certainly not on any technicalities like felt weight, ribbon size etc. Take a look at the Open Road crown and compare it to the "Roper" crown - although I can't personally measure the crown heights, the crease lengths, etc. I can say...

    Does this mean I am getting old, or just finaly smartened up a bit?

    Even if you feel like a coward and a wimp, a reasonable, intelligent and articulate person would shy away from this kind of barbarism if at all possible. It's easy to get caught up in testosterone-fueled MMA matches, boxing, football, etc; violent movies, violent video games, etc., but it's...

    Your Signature Dish

    The modern cowboy hat

    Please don't scorn me for what I'm about to say...:o But I've always thought modern cowboy hats are just Wide-Brim Open Roads, personally. [huh]

    Vintage Fruit Trees / Squirrel Killin'

    Well, I can say that my grandparents had to take a few squirrels when they were in a pinch for food, back in the early '50's, although it was certainly not a habit. I have a feeling this thread my get deep 6'd like the other one. :o

    Favorite Summer Drink

    Margarita with fresh lime, salted rim and Cuervo Tradicional (100% Agave at a reasonable price). That's what I sip when the sun beats down. Fajita mix would certainly help, too. ;)

    Opinions about Johnnie Walker

    I must say JW Red was quite unfortunate in taste, JW Black being not much better. JW Green was fine, but not something I would drink outright. JW Blue was fine as well, and it's something I would drink again, but as you all know, it's $$$. :rolleyes:
