    I really enjoyed this, Story, thank you! :eusa_clap

    "Time Traveler" in 1941: "modern" dress in old photos?

    Wow, this is pretty cool. Thanks Dinerman for the photos of said sunglasses. Very interesting. I'll have to show this off to some local rubes and insist I'm ACTUALLY from another era just as I've told them all along. ;)

    Show us your Guns!

    Thank you for the advice! After some research, I have to agree with you on this one. I see that a Classic Lee Loader would be much more appropriate for a bolt action rifle; especially one in which I planned to carefully watch every little aspect of reloading. The neck sizing die, by itself, is...

    What happened to admiration?

    I must say I don't believe people's reactions are necessarily jealousy; in fact, I would suppose you may only run into 30% or fewer that were actually jealous. I think if anything, there has been a shift in the way people perceive certain durable goods and their owners. At one time, owning a...

    Very good point (as well as your later comment). That is a great perspective!

    Remember common ¢ents?

    That and people (in Des Moines, IA anyway) look at you as if you've STOLEN 50 cents from them when you hand them a half-dollar. Ridiculous! I'm happy to receive a Kennedy (or maybe a Franklin, if I'm lucky), and I tend to save those in my pocket to use them again when I'm able. Granted, I'm...

    Remember common ¢ents?

    I'm certain you're correct with the keyboard functionality issue. If the cents symbol (spelled out because I'm simply too lazy to find the character on my character map) was easier to type, then it would appear on more items as such. I'm sure inflation has also had its part as things aren't...

    Vintage Cartoons

    I think there are two questions that should be examined each time we consider “censoring” and “banning” these throwback cartoons. Why should we allow these to be aired? Who will this actually hurt, and more specifically, how exactly will it hurt them? I’m not saying there is some perfect...

    Vintage Cartoons

    Among others less known, I'm also referring to the "Censored Eleven"; I challenge you to produce DVD titles with these works included. I have found Jungle Jitters on a $1 Walmart DVD in the bargain bin as well as All This and Rabbit Stew, but nothing else thus far. I suppose by "banned" I...

    Could you name one of Hemingway's hunting stories/novels? I've never cared for Hemingway, although I do admit he has a certain luster I appreciate in a writer. I'm always looking to give him another chance!

    Vintage Cartoons

    How about irony? I happen to own all seasons of the crass Drawn Together series. Season Two includes an episode about just this topic. For those of you unfamiliar with the series, I say this is ironic because the show is far, far more racist and objectionable than any of the classic cartoons...

    Retro-extremists? What are we called?

    Oh, and on a side note (haha, just as this entire thread has been a side note) :offtopic: I WISH with all my heart cars still had window vents. I also drive with no AC (not a single car I've owned has ever had functioning AC) and those window vents were the bees' knees! :p

    Retro-extremists? What are we called?

    Well, I guess the engineer was driving the train in reverse because this wreck just keeps piling up. :eusa_doh: So had you (Jack and Lizzie) decided on Atavist then? Can I throw Chronofidelis out in case anyone missed it? Is anyone still interested in the name itself? Personally, I...

    Retro-extremists? What are we called?

    Chronofidelis, perhaps? Seems a little much, but I think True to Time, or something like that is appropriate. Are we even still looking for a name here? Or did I miss the post?

    Show us your Guns!

    Anyone familiar with the old Lee Loaders? I've been seriously considering reloading and the Lee Loader seems to fit the budget. I've read some reviews online and many people say there are two essential tools missing from the core set. 1. Anyone know which essential tools are necessary for...

    "Oldies" radio stations

    I'm guilty of listening to AM/FM radio when I'm driving from point A to B. I usually listen to NPR for the news because I can catch the 8am and 5pm programs when I hop into my car after work. Unfortunately, when NPR is busy with their fundraising, or when they just can't keep my interest, I...

    I suppose it makes sense, a bullet penetrating a refrigerator, as there is really very little for it to go through. I'm just surprised it doesn't shimmy off into another direction. [huh]

    Show us your Guns!

    I haven't had experience with that particular scope, although it looks pretty sharp. I did, however, mount a Burris Fullfield II 4.5x-14x-42mm on my Remy 700 .30-06 and I can say it's pretty darn nice. Dependable and rugged, although I can't say I've been dropping it often. ;) I am really...

    Show us your Guns!

    As you all have mentioned, having a red-dot or holo is good for CQC, and the ACOG is good for 50 to 300 yards (and more, etc). So what if you married the two? I'm considering an ACOG with the DOC (Doctor Optic) Red Dot sight that sits just on top of the ACOG. They're one piece (or at least as...

    Haha ^ lol :eusa_clap Terminator Groundhogs model 101 with Arnold's voice reaches its furry hand out to a young John Connor, "Come wit me if you want to live, and/or enjoy 6 fewer weeks of winter."
