Gentlemen's Clubs
Hmm, I'd think any club I liked a lot, would be one I'd want my like-minded friends in, hence I would tell a lot of folks. I used to be a member of the College Club in Seattle. I was sponsored in by my father. However, I didn't really use it much - played a bit of squash there, and did...- Chanfan

Airport Security
Bruce Schneier likes to refer to it as "Security Theater" - things that are done to make you feel safer, without actually being effective at making you safer. He does point out that sometimes security theater is either beneficial or necessary, but also has written many articles about the...- Chanfan

Can you remember where you were when you heard Princess Diana had been killed?...etc
Interesting to think about what's burned in to that grey fuzzy memory of mine (or rather, mostly that the majority of things are not). I recall the general events of Granada, the Challenger explosion, Princess Diana, and so on, but the only one I'd call a "flashbulb moment" is 9/11. It...- Chanfan

Games of Chance!
I like, conceptually, slots - just due to the button pushing, noises, and such. If I end up at a Casino for some reason - I typically don't go there on my own accord - I will sometimes play them, usually the low end ones, with a pre-determined amount of cash that I have decided I've "spent"...- Chanfan

Steampunk, Dieselpunk, etc.
Someone already mentioned one of the Foglios, but surprisingly, didn't link to Girl Genius. I've read Phil's comics from way back. I imagine either you will like his art style or it will put you off. I've always liked it, but I must admit, for no particularly good reason I never got around to...- Chanfan

Today's woman would throw it in his face....
Gah! That is pretty amazing… Does remind me of a pretty geeky version: We've replaced their dilithium crystals with new Foldger's Crystals. Let's watch as they go to warp…- Chanfan

Opinionated actors....SHUT UP!
That's the key to it. I don't think their profession makes their opinions more (or less) valid than any other run-of-the-mill person, it's just they have the means (by way of fame) to get their opinion out to a whole lot of folks. Now, given that they have the means, and assuming they have a...- Chanfan

Got Tiki?
We used to have a Trader Vic's downtown (Seattle), I can recall when it was open (far before I was of age to enter, mind you). It closed, but one opened up across the water in Belleview a bit ago. I tried to make it to the Trader Vics in London when I was visiting, but it was near...- Chanfan

PDA or PAD ??
While I'm a tech head, and voted PDA, I do think it's true that for simplicity and reliability, it's hard to beat a pen and paper for a quick note. That said, I tend to not stick to one pad, so it quickly gets confusing to me. I also tend to not keep the pads themselves organized, or rip pages...- Chanfan

Where to live in NYC?
I've only been to NYC once (and loved it), but don't have an answer for your specific question. But, it might be helpful to give further indication of your fiscal means. Are you expecting to pay for the place when you aren't there, or sublet it? The main thing I've heard is it's very...- Chanfan

Unsweetened Iced Tea
I must admit, having become diabetic, unsweetended iced tea is now a blessing. But it is difficult to find in bottles, true. Fortunately, it's easy to get in espresso joints, where it's become my default no-carb drink.- Chanfan

I lost a friend today
Allow me to add my condolences. Of course I'm sorry for your loss, but - - sounds to me like you gave him an extra year, and a great one at that. While you might toast the departed, be sure to also toast the good you did.- Chanfan
