    I'm glad I spotted this thread, because I have been baffled as to why I haven't received any mail on Saturdays for the past three weeks!

    Care for gabardine shirts?

    Your internal combustion seems to be working just fine, Baron! ;) Seriously, thanks for the good advice.

    All that outfit needs is a can of spinach! ;-)

    What is your vermouth brand of choice?

    Oops, sorry! I didn't realize this had been discussed on the first page of this thread. This is the sort of thing that makes me drink...

    What is your vermouth brand of choice?

    Technically not vermouth, but I like to use Lillet blanc in my martinis instead of vermouth.

    "Detectives Guide to Wearing Fedoras on the Case"

    I felt like someone dripped some cold water down the back of my collar when I read this. I snapped straight up and read your post again and just had to respond. I also started work as a private investigator at the tender age of 19 (although this was in the early '70s) and likewise had to...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Last year a friend introduced me to a woman who is a descendant of Mike Fink! For those of you who remember Davy Crockett's Keelboat Race, Fink is the one Davy challenged and beat. I amazed her by reciting: "Ladies hide And brave men shiver I'm Mike Fink King of the River!" Just more...

    (Re)Book-em Danno

    I loved Hawaii Five-O, and I met Keigh Deigh (Wo Fat), who advised me as to where to go to school when I was waffling about that! So I actually owe my career to Hawaii Five-O, to a certain extent.

    Film Noir Femmes Fatales

    Colleen Grey! Kiss of Death, Kansas City Confidential, Nightmare Alley, The Killing, and one of my faves, The Sleeping City. I couldn't come up with a picture of her (except when I close my eyes at night, of course).

    Film Noir?

    Cursed by noir? Does anyone else feel they have been adversely affected by film noir? I developed an affinity for these movies as a kid and have watched far more than any other genre over the course of my life. In recent years I've wondered if I gravitate toward them because I relate to the...

    The nicest comment I ever heard

    Hey, I got a "nice hat" comment, too. He called out just as I was exiting my car today. The (unhatted) guy looked like he might have been a lawyer. I thanked him and then hurried into the closest building...just in case he was trying to serve me with a summons. One never knows...

    Hats In The Car/A Newbie Question

    At 5'7", I don't have as much trouble in my PT Cruiser in the vertical plane as you do. Even though I'm more comfortable not wearing a hat in the car, people seem to accept the fedora more easily if you're in that car, so I wear it more often now. Anyway, I find that even without the hat, I'm...
