    The ONE Celebrity (Living or Dead) You'd Give a Body Part to Have Dinner With?

    I was just re-reading the "Celebrities You've Met" thread and I realize that there's another side to that coin. So I'm asking who's the ONE person you'd give anything (within reason) to have dinner with. I say living or dead because... well... I'm the OP and I wants it that way! (Dagnabit!)...

    Tried searching but no luck. Best Wallet Recommendations?

    My hoary old Sharkskin wallet is fast giving up the ghost. Not the outer shell but everything inside is disintegrating. I'm asking if anyone has any recommendations for a good, strong, durable wallet that'll last me till I shuffle off this mortal coil. I've done some research... learned about...

    How do you decide what "makes the cut?"

    Ah ain't a gitin any younger. There's more sand in the bottom than in the top. I can't afford to waste minutes, hours or days even watching a movie or TV series that are a waste of a valuable resource.... which is time! I don't know how much I've left and I'd hate to be laying on my death bed...

    Filson Leather Jacket.....

    I picked up this Filson leather jacket off of Fleabay a couple of years back. I'll post a pic if anyone's interested. It say's it's made in China. It looks to be made of Vanson's first generation "Octagon" leather... the light tan stuff. I checked their webbie and of course they don't sell...

    The "Great Race" 2018 (Pic Heavy)

    "The Great Race" (look it up) an annual event where vintage cars are driven cross country in time trials. The governing body of this organization consider anything 1974 and below as "Vintage". They have three divisions that I could discern: "Rookie" "Sportsman" "Professional" There's a 50...

    Films and shows that COULD NEVER Be Made Today!

    Lizzie mentioned in the TV thread that "Get Smart" could never be made today... She rightly pointed out that the "spy craze" of the 60's was the perfect time for this farce. Her comment got me thinking so I figured I'd ask you all what you think couldn't get made today... 1. The Beverly...

    What Shows/Movie Franchises have you "Rage Quit"?

    "Rage Quitting" is when a show or franchise does something soooooo incredibly stupid, you throw your hands up and disgust and vow to never spend another minute or second watching it ever again. Prime example being "Da Fonz" Jumping the Shark. Here's a short list off the top of my head: 1...

    Alright! Confession Time! What's YOUR "Guilty Pleasure?"

    It's come up recently and it must be explored. What's your "guilty pleasure"? Can't live with a daily dose of "My Little Pony"? Fantasize nightly about Bea Arthur? Think "Saved by the Bell" is the modern equivalent of Shakespeare? Did you rush home daily for "Dark Shadows"? Did you buy a C.B...

    If you could choose, what city would you like to see crushed by a giant monster?

    Okay we've ALL seen Tokyo demolished, New York mashed, London "Gorgo'd", L.A. folded, spindled AND mutilated and even Copenhagen slimed. If you were the producer of the "next big monster mash"... what city would you like to see flattened by a giant reptile (or the Army trying to kill it!)? Me...

    Errr... maybe dumb question about the G1

    I've never purposefully bought one but the Langlitz Jacket I bought used is essentially a civvie version. I've slimmed down to the point where it now fits very well and I've one question about it. Does the back strap serve any real purpose? Or is it just a style thing? Sorry if this seems...

    New Barnstormer...

    Last year I had Carrie and the fine folks at Thurston Bros. make me my ultimate Winter Leather coat. I opted for a Barnstormer in "Battered Tan" with an Alpaca liner, storm cuffs and black fur collar. The coat is now soft enough to wear and so I thought I'd give you all a peek. Not my...

    My First Highwayman

    I picked this one used off "Da Bay". It's a size 48, Highwayman in Steer, with that funky "neon Orange" plaid inside (I'll take pics of that later. It's thick, heavy, comfortable and the zipper's not too "fussy". It's got storm cuffs but the sides don't stay cinched, common problem I suppose...

    Willing to pay GOOD money for Oatmeal Knits...

    I'm pulling together a new Aero project and found, to my utter dismay, that they no longer sell Oatmeal or light tan colored knits. Anyone have any to sell or know where I can score some will be forever in my debt. Worf

    Loungers Beware - I.R.S. Phone Scam Afoot!

    I was out and about this afternoon, when I got home my son reported that the I.R.S. called with a "final notice" demanding I pay an overdue tax bill. I'm pretty savvy, I have my returns professionally prepared by the same accountant for almost 20 years so I smelled scam right away. I did a...

    Need a solid from my friends in Britain/Europe

    I'm retired but I help an older lady with her gardening... I do the grunt work, she points, nods and smiles. She's a sweety but alas her mind is starting to slip and she knows almost nothing of the internet. She asked me if I could find her copy of the "Royal Horticultural Society's Large...

    Logan's Closet, Avoid at ALL Cost

    I saw a jacket style I wanted on there a year or so back. I won't say what or which. I'm kinda embarrassed by it now. Bottom line is I paid good money for a Jacket back on September 14th, 2014 and here it is July 2015 and no jacket. The guy has his jackets made by Vanson NOT Good Wear so...
