    Chorus wives Some things are the same everywhere! If they all said this at the same time, the roar would be deafening!

    The History Channel

    Bushido I for one hope the young men of Japan do NOT follow this example! This mindset created enough mischief last century for Japan to be 'paid ahead' for quite some time.

    the never-built Führermuseum

    Opportunity knocks What an opportunist! I'm wondering if Goebbels had time to collect much art of any kind, being so busy auditioning starlets for the Deutsche cinema. I am reminded of one of my favorite lines from "Mad Men", when Don Draper is showing someone around the offices at...

    The History Channel

    Hitler's Historical Mysticism I think it was the other big Nazi crank Himmler that swallowed all this stuff. Hitler was everything else evil except as big a sucker for the occult as Himmler. I am glad he only got his hands on the Holy Beer Schooner instead of the Grail.

    The History Channel

    Agenda TV My disappointment is only that this cultural phenomenon-'agenda message' program content- has crept so far into what is ostensibly 'history'. Yes historians are people too, and have biases but some of this HC programming is so obviously driven by current 'pc' and politics that...

    the never-built Führermuseum

    Fuhrer museum I wonder how many tons of 'degenerate art' the fuhrer's second-in-command, Reichsmarshall Goring was able to shield from public gaze by confiscating it for Carinhall or wherever else he stored his loot. Perhaps that was his real reason for grabbing so much of it. The...

    Blank-firing Webley revolver

    Blank firing Webley The gun I tried to buy was a Marushin Enfield no 2, Mark 1 kit (dead ringer for the Webley) on the Tokyo Hobby site, operated by a Miki Nakamura (sp?) who also operates the wwiiwarguns site and the vietnamwarguns site and who knows what other sites. He has great stuff on...

    Suit collar rolling up at the back

    Collared Tomasso, this was a fun thread and a very do-able fix. We all have some of these in the closet and perhaps now they can come out again.

    Blank-firing Webley revolver

    Webley Has anyone had a good experience buying from this site? I got a PPSH and Thompson from his (Miki Nakomura?) other site, Vietnamwarguns several years ago but had a devil of a time getting them sent. I tried to buy the Enfield revolver last fall and he finally just gave me a refund...

    Of Sheep-Dip, Rot-Gut, and Furniture Polish. The worst of the worst.

    Grappa crappa Honestly, this sounds like the 'sausage' equivalent of alcoholic beverages, made from floor sweepings.

    Is this a military belt? Rare? Valuable?

    Shemp Yes, I concede this. It's not something I really recognized consciously before but you're right. Shemp had timing and presence Curly lacked, for all his ....whatever it was.

    Why all the hatred towards black leather jackets?

    Leather fetish OK, I just bought a Museum Replicas Terminator2, 25-year commemorative replica black leather jacket, widely available, e.g. http://www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=4489&sku=900452 I don't know why. Now I have to get the shades and a sawed off Winchester M 1887 lever action...

    Public Enemies shoes

    spade sole shoes Jim at www.motorcowboy.com can make these. Just give him a picture, your measurements, a fistful of cash and wait about 10 weeks.

    Barber Shops

    Two bits Another old guy at work and I are going to do this for the first time this month at The Cincinnatian, a barbershop on Main street in Cincinnati. Straight razor barber shave, hot towels, the whole bit. I can easily imagine a time, fast approaching, when this won't be available anymore...

    Why all the hatred towards black leather jackets?

    Back to black I'm not sure why but black leather jackets seem a bit 'edgier' than brown. Don't know if it's the motorcyle image or the Mad Max/Terminator thing or the more 'hip' vibe it gives but brown seems a more satisfying and useful shade for me. I really have nothing against black leather...

    1930's- 40's repro workwear

    Work a day I bought the chambray shirt off eBay and it's fine. Miss Willy at Old Town in the UK now takes charge cards so you can buy from them. I got two pairs of trousers last December and they are pretty darned nice-a twill and a corduroy pair.

    Of Sheep-Dip, Rot-Gut, and Furniture Polish. The worst of the worst.

    On the floor This is the infamous "hairy buffalo"? Yes we did this more than once (which compares unfavoarably to painful events experienced by lower orders of life) but without any damage to the floor, except for varous abrasions from contact with it (the floor).

    Magnoli Clothers 3 piece suit

    Measure up Not that I need to (Mrs Foster's always complaining of so many things I do that I don't need to) but I second or third the measurement caution. I did my own-not hard to do because Magnoli explains exactly where and how to measure. But the fit is really a pleasant surprise if you...
