    My cat's in heat

    I should be so lucky as to have a female clawing at my sweater at midnight.

    50's and 60's fedora lounge?

    Very well said, and this statement needs more exposure! It's all too easy to think of a particular point in time as being "the moment"--especially if one happened to be there. To me, it's a little like a corporation owning the patent and making millions from the invention of a nameless...

    Old Thread on Living Vintage

    I remember that, too. I can give you the link in which I asked if anyone's work space was retro and showed pictures of my office. I remember at the time people told me there had already been a thread like that and left links to it/them. Maybe that's the one you're looking for...

    The Phantom Comic Strip

    I forgot to answer your question about favorite stories. I remember reading "The Goggle-Eye Pirates" in the Sunday strip with my grandmother as a kid, and then it appearing years later in the Gold Key comic book. That stands out. But I think my favorite is the one where the Phantom goes to a...

    The Phantom Comic Strip

    I also loved The Phantom as a kid; made my own stone throne in the woods where I played (and called it "the jungle"). My first comics were in the '50s and the artist at that time was (I think) Ray Moore. It was also in our Sunday newspaper. Then Gold Key comics came out with a Phantom title...

    If you said you looked like one celebrity from the Golden Era...

    All right. There have been so many great match-ups here I just have to share my resemblance to--you guessed it--Prince Charles. ;)

    Let us not forget Walter Brennan's great performance in "To Have and Have Not", with Bogey!

    Nerd Culture in the 1920's and 30's

    Wow! Thanks for that photo. I had the good fortune to meet the Ackermonster not long before he died. He talked about seeing Things To Come. Very cool!

    Misperception of "vintage" decor

    I think my intent in posting this got a little diluted. I just wanted to say that the original "hook" or headline for the story was the idea that a 1930s kitchen was an eyesore and was remodeled. My point is that the writer didn't think it was important to point out that the eyesore was '70s...

    Misperception of "vintage" decor

    The headline I clicked on to get to the story said: 1930s Kitchen Was a Major Eyesore It's Barely Recognizable After Face-Lift

    Misperception of "vintage" decor

    I clicked on a "news" link that purported to show before-and-after pictures of a 1930s kitchen that "was an eyesore". The link is here...

    Oldest person you ever knew?

    I remember when I was a kid seeing a double list, "traditional" and "modern" anniversaries; some were different. It's strange to think that more time has passed since the "modern" period started than had already passed in the "traditional" period when I read that! Geez, I'm getting old...

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    Add my name to the "Let's forget the '70s" petition.

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    All hail Joe! He was apologetic while bending a quarter in his hands at the age of 100+ years that he could no longer do a dime! Jeez... :eusa_clap
