I've answered in this thread before, but as I grow older it seems (like most people I imagine) my perspective on life and on several other issues has changed. That said, the advice I'd give to my younger self is...none. Being brutally honest, I'm fairly certain my arrogant younger self would...

Very pleased to hear this. As much as I liked my first Fed IV (my first proper/fur felt hat), the Campdraft became my favorite hat the moment I had shaped it and put it on my head. The color of that first one, Silverbelly, was considerably lighter than I expected, but I got used to it...until...

I think I still have one of my Zippo lighters around here somewhere, but now that I no longer need it there's really no reason I need to know exactly where it is. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I had the last pack I opened, and an unopened pack, in my car. Y'know, just in case. The only time I touched them was when I threw 'em both in the trash as I was cleaning out that car so I could use it as part of the down payment on my new truck. That was in January; still haven't had a...

:eek:

Chuck Cunningham (well, Gavan O'Herlihy, the actor who played Chuck Cunningham) was 6'3" tall. Those seem kinda' short to have been his ribs. Also, he's still alive, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thank you Sir. I still have times...moments, really, when I'd really like a cigarette, but I know the moment I have that first one I'll be up to two packs a day within a month. So, it's better to just not start again. Cheaper too.

Hear hear. Actually, I didn't quit for health reasons...not my health, anyway. While my late wife was in the hospital undergoing testing to determine what might be causing her memory issues (it was Early Onset Alzheimer's Disease), it suddenly occurred to me that she, who had been smoking...

I've been wearing Converse's sneakers (All Stars, as they like to call them) for four or five decades now, mostly because I find them comfortable, but it doesn't hurt that they're reasonably priced. One of the things I appreciate is that, on the sales page for the style I prefer, there's a note...

Oooh, oooh, I know this one! Short answer, the things we humans place value on here on Earth only have that value to we humans here on Earth. Take them anywhere else in the Universe and they're essentially worthless, because a being living on Omicron Persei 8 wouldn't know what they are, and...

This was me after high school. Hanging out with "the guys" after work, downing liberal amounts of beer in an empty parking lot after sundown simply because we were all bored. Sometimes we'd go to see the new movie(s) that had just premiered, but mostly we just got together and talked for a few...

Wasn't that one of Elton John's "stage wardrobe" hats?

For many Americans, yes, it is. Or, it is if they live anywhere near the U.S./Mexico border. And you're right, most Americans will take up any excuse to drink themselves into an unconscious mess...well, the Americans I've known, anyway. Except for myself--I've never really acquired a taste...

I would eat that in a heartbeat. No arguing about it, no quibbling. To me it looks simple and delicious. I might check the fridge for two more eggs though... ;)
