    The Great Beer Thread

    All fictional beer aside, when I order beer @ a bar or resteraunt, I usually get a Bodington Pub Ale, Guiness or Newcastle. In the summertime I tend to drink lighter fare especially Pacifico Clara. There's nothing better then a few of those with lime after a day of surfing!

    The Great Beer Thread

    GCR is correct. FUDD bottled in the fictional town of Shelbyville which is always @ odds with Springfield, home of the Simpsons! I've never been a drinker of PBR. When I'm home visiting my folks in Illinois, I will tip a bottle of Leinenkugel or Old Style though! PBG

    Leather soles V. rubber.

    For day to day wear, I wears rubber soled Sketchers or Dr. Martins (when I'm not wearing Aldens). I also swing dance, and it's leather soles all the way. I have a pair of black & white spectators with leather soles (I forget the brand name) and 1 pair of Allen Edmonds. I even found a bowling...

    Optimo Davenport

    Re: Wow Coming from someone so well versed in the subject of hats, that is a compliment! It just goes to show that making the trip to see Graham & Kevin was definately worth my time. After I tried on the Mitchum style, the Davenport was the first one Graham suggested. He certainly knows his...

    Titles

    You still need to come up with some swell names for us though! "Moderator" is still too generic. The rest of the new titles are Great!

    Hitch

    The original house and motel are still there. The new house for VanSant's version is there too. It stands right next to the original. The funny thing is, all they built was the front, one side and the roof! The last time I took the tour, the tour guide told us that durring the filming of The...

    Barber Shops

    I think Zohar and I had some kind of mental connection this past weekend, because I visited a barbershop that I've passed several times but I've never had my hair cut at. It's called Gerry's Hollywood Barbershop" and it's in Long Beach, CA. Gerry is a man in his late 60's and is barbershop is a...

    Smoking Jackets

    I'm no expert, but sport coats and blazers are slightly less formal then suits. They can be worn with slacks that are not the same color so they are more versatile. Smoking jackets are like silk robes but they are short like a suit jacket. They have a tie at the waste instead of buttons. They...

    Are We Not Male?

    I'm not sure if it is related or not, but I have often seen the word "man" used instead of "human". I have seen this a lot in nature shows on television. The narrators always seem to refer to "the encroachment of man" or "the effect of man". As to MK's thoughts, Men seem to be a huge target...

    A Smug Moment

    I grew up in northern Illinois and I went to college in Michigan, so I am no stranger to driving in adverse conditions. I've driven in downpours so heavy that my car's windshield wipers couldn't keep up, unplowed snow midway up my wheels and in ice storms where the slightest application of the...
