    Anime anyone?

    I absolutely loved the old Robotech series when I was younger. Watched about half of them again recently - and STILL enjoyed them!! Long story arcs, compelling characters, problems with solutions, problems without solutions, deaths of important characters, emotional trauma. Good stuff...

    Got a hat you like, but are not wildly proud of?

    I bought a "deluxe fur felt indiana jones" fedora from eBay a while back, in black. I am very satisfied with this hat, even though it is not a "real" fedora hat. It doesn't have the cachet of the dobbs, stetson, or knox label, but it fits me well, and looks fantastic on my head. With that...

    Maj. Danger, That's kind of the direction I'm thinking at this moment. There's a really fun vintage genuine nose-art A-2 on eBay (but the bid is up over $1000 - daddy don't have that kind of scratch) and I'm feeling kind of inspired, hence, the question above. Thanks for all the input...

    Secret Pockets in Tailcoats?

    Those pockets in the tails, that's where the lead weights went, right? To keep the tails from blowing about in the wind, or while dancing.... I just keep remembering when Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck or some other character was in tails and blown-up or some such, and the remains of the...
