    Vintage style socks: argyle and plaid

    You-all might want to know that Paul Fredrick has a clearance on socks right now, and while some are boring and lame, several of them are very fedora lounge-oriented. The bluish (indigo) plaid ones are particularly nice; the argyles are great too. I just got mine in a moment ago and am pleased...

    Any idea what decade this lamp is?

    No, but I can take some later today. Any preliminary diagnosis?

    Thanks, Lee.

    Any idea what decade this lamp is?

    I've had this for about 18 years and I do not know what decade it is from. I replaced the cord a decade or so ago (that is, the black cord is not original). Anyone have any idea?

    Missing Loungers Whom You Miss.

    I was alerted by Miss1929 through facebook that someone had mentioned my name here, as well as by jamespowers. I am poking my nose here for only a single moment to say why I have not been on the Lounge lately. The rudeness that I have encountered on the Tipping Thread from persons whose names...

    LOUIS FERDINAND CELINE

    Interesting. I did read Vitoux's excellent biography and from the interview material used in it, he does indeed come across as a bitter fellow paranoid about his enemies. But I see your point. I got a copy of L'Eglise in English a couple of years ago. A monstrously long play. I have not read...

    LOUIS FERDINAND CELINE

    True -- he WAS being persecuted, and understandably so, as he didn't think the Jews were worth WW2, or however one wants to put it. To be as fair as possible, the disgusting conditions of e.g. trench warfare in WW1 were so near in his mind that he was willing to do anything or believe...

    LOUIS FERDINAND CELINE

    By scatology all I meant was farting and a turd here and there, not a sexual fetish - sorry, that was ambiguous. My uncle (well, a bit more distantly removed than that -- the husband of my mother's first cousin) is a retired psychiatrist and head of a psychiatric hospital in Paris. Also a...

    Question: Tipping in Restaurants, for Services, ??

    I am now going to discontinue my subscription to this thread. I am deeply disappointed in too many of its writers.

    Question: Tipping in Restaurants, for Services, ??

    When I stop being disrespected for not having tipped exactly twice in my life, both times of which I reacted to extreme disrespect, then I will have an easier time getting along. I react to disrespect. I react hard. That is the way I am. When I am given a basic level of respect, I am the...

    You cannot always find one in every city at 8PM. Can you?

    Question: Tipping in Restaurants, for Services, ??

    Amazingly rude, as well as ill-thought out. I am, again, astonished. I have never, at any point, claimed that anyone had no right to receive good behavior. This is a bizarre claim on your part that perhaps is a reflection of your own behavior on this thread -- and many others. My...

    Question: Tipping in Restaurants, for Services, ??

    A bizarre and ridiculous comment that speaks only of your inexperience in the world. I hope you never find yourself in e.g. Thailand or a small Greek isle with only enough money for the check and not enough for the tip. You will starve.

    Question: Tipping in Restaurants, for Services, ??

    If you think our allegiance to every member of every waitstaff of every restaurant in the USA outweighs our allegiance to a subculture that we care about, and from whose members we expect a bit of respect, then I am confused by your set of allegiances. And by your definition of the word...

    You both need to travel -- and Busterkat, I hereby retract my previous compliment to you.

    Who of you has read his works?

    LOUIS FERDINAND CELINE

    He has been mentioned on threads here in the past, but there has never been a thread devoted to him. The basic facts of his life off the top of my head: he served in WW1, then became a doctor treating the poor in Paris slums. He came from a somewhat impoverished shopkeeper family. Horribly...

    When you're not dressed vintage...

    I wear blue Levis, a white t-shirt, and black steel-toe Docs but this is more because my wife thinks it looks "hot." Otherwise, if I'm not in vintage I wear gray Dickies trousers and a dress shirt and Docs.
