Bad Vintage Movies
All films are art. Art is essentially something that is created with the purposes in mind of self expression and to incite a reaction of the viewer/listener. So even bad or tasteless films or other media are achieving the objective. The worst thing that an artist can do is achieve widespread...- Chas

What are you listening to?
The Teddy Wilson Brunswick recordings; 1935-1938. It doesn't get any better. -
Your mid-life crisis
It's got nothing to do with the Bible. It's about exercise and fibre. Scientists are guesstimating that with current trends the life expectancy will likely crack 150 years in the coming decades. My 'fourties' were a mixed bag. Good and bad- but overall they are pretty good, and looking to...- Chas

World War 2 archeology
I think that perhaps the guy who runs this website belongs to a group of Dutch guys that call themselves "The Diggers". I am not absolutely sure of this, but recall seeing a website of a similar bent focusing on WWI archaeology. I use that term generously, as their methods are decidedly... -
World War 2 archeology
I love this one. "Hey, Ivan...I need rear window glass for my Benz. Can I look around your scrapyard for one?" "Sure."..... "Cool. Thanks, man. Wait a mo...Uhh...Did you know you have a Panther Tank sitting in your scrapyard?" "Yeah, but it doesn't run. Why, you interested?" -
What are you listening to?
Adrian Rollini playing the vibes in a trio on a pair of 78s I scored today. Australian Deccas, of all things.... we are pleased. THIS, however is my current favorite song and saxophone etude. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwO5TZdNWok -

Your favorite movie quotes
I love that line of Chief Dan George in The Outlaw Josey Wales: "They call us the civilized tribe because we're easy to sneak up on. The white man have been sneaking up on us for years...." Truer words were never spoken in a film. The Matrix (1999): Morpheus: "I'm trying to free your mind...- Chas

The 6 Most Ill-Conceived Weapons Ever Built
The CEF had something called the McAdam Shield Shovel that was supposed to double as an entrenching tool. The Gov't spent bags of money on them, then when they found out it was useless, had to sell the lot off for scrap. One of Minister of Militia & Defence Sam Hughes' pet projects. He liked... -

I really wish there was a Grand Orient Lodge here. I miss being a Mason, but had to leave when I evolved into an atheist.- Chas

War Art
It would seem like a good idea for folks to post their recommendations for sites that have excellent examples of war art. I have one that I particularly like, and I think it hasn't been well visited- a selection of paintings from the Japanese artist & IJN veteran Takeshi Yuki. Some of them are... -
The 6 Most Ill-Conceived Weapons Ever Built
That, and the rate of cheating and plagiarism in College tests and essays is at a level that pretty much renders a Bachelor's certificate into a glorified G.E.D. The writer of this article likes to use the "F" word. A lot. Now, I happen to like the "F" word and have a great deal of respect... -
Medical Practicioners of Old
I've been working in Psychiatric Units and Long Term Care for about 20+ years - when I first started in the biz it was not at all uncommon to see a jug of Sherry in the medication room. Quite a few of the oldsters liked it and it was as effective as an ativan. Probably better for them, too...- Chas

The general decline in standards today
Oh, man. I have been working as a Psychiatric Nurse for 20+ years and can't tell you how many "oh, that's so wonderful. You must be a special person to be able to do that" I have heard. My stock answer is "well, thank you for that but I have to tell you, I could never go back to waiting on...- Chas
