    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Finally got around to watching The Tingler (1959) with Vincent Price on our DVR. It was very creative for it's time. In select theaters they put electrical buzzers under select seats so patrons would feel the mild jolt or tingle from the creature.The film went black, all lights in the auditorium...

    On yer bike!

    Very well done, I like it!:eusa_clap All it needs now is a rack and some panniers. So, did it originally have pad breaks on it or was that something you added? Just curious as how long that style of break has been around. Cheers! Dan

    Bow Ties

    Even "The Doctor" thinks a bow tie is cool.:D And it seems that they are making a good comeback too. http://www.abcneckties.com/blog/2010/06/01/5-reasons-you-should-join-the-growing-group-of-bow-tie-wearers/ Cheers! Dan

    On yer bike!

    Where can I find one of these? Sure would make you concentrate on keeping your balance though. But seriously I wouldn't mind coming across an old German military bicycle. Even if it was to restore it. Cheers! Dan

    The Adventurer's Gear Thread

    Ah, very cool! Thanks Gijoe. Makes sense and it makes you wonder how the Mountain Troops managed with those boots back in the day before the rubber soles. Several Armies back then marched on hobnails and their mountain troops had the hobnails and cleats. Makes you wonder how they never fell down...

    The Adventurer's Gear Thread

    And I just recently picked up a pair of gamaschen (gaiters) for these boots as well. Gijoe, thanks for your input. I had noticed that one of your friends (wearing the Bergmutze) in another post you had shared was wearing the hobnailed & cleated boots. Were those also a Swiss model boot? The...

    Johnny Depp in talks to Play The Thin Man

    Well I think that Depp could pull it off. He has experience playing a drunk, and can pull off the look without much effort. The hard part will be finding the right Nora. I has to be some one Depp already has on screen chemistry with so they can bounce their lines off of each other and make it...

    Adventure! Fedora Lounge Folks in Action!

    Gijoe, Are the boots your friend is wearing, in the Bergmutze and scarf, vintage Gebirgsjager boots or are they the Swiss equivalent or reproductions? I'm just curious because of the cleats I can see there & I have been searching all over the place for a pair similar to that at a reasonable...

    The Adventurer's Gear Thread

    Picked up a pair of Swiss Mountain Boots at The Sportsman's Guide the other day. Should be here in a few days. I figure for about $20 total They should be a good start. I've been hunting around for the Swiss variant that looks like the Gebirgjager boots that are cleated, but they appear as...

    Vintage Camping Equipment

    Still on the hunt for a Swedish Trangia Mess Kit. Those little suckers are pretty hard to find in the States. Ebay had a slew there for a while and they had real high price tags for ending bids, now they've dried up. Most likely because I want one now. Always the way. Id love to be able to get...

    Burke & Hare (2010)

    Thought this was an interesting bit of trivia. It would be interesting to see how he would have done with this material. Cheers! Dan

    Burke & Hare (2010)

    Now this looks funny. I watched the trailer and it made me laugh out loud, so I can't wait to see the whole thing. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1320239/ Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UE7KvAyVnbw Cheers! Dan

    The most horrible remake ever to be made

    Some of those on the list could stand a good remake. I loved Fright Night when it came out, but I think that it could be better. I mean, David Tennant (Dr. Who) will be in it. Commando, that's a given. With so many technical flubs in the original it is in dire need of a remake. Judge Dredd...

    What pens are we carrying today?

    I carry my Pop's old Parker pen from the late 60's. A clicker model that has the Western Electric logo on the top. I just wished I could find his matching pencil to go with it. I do have his matching Cross pencil & pens that he got every 10 years with Western Electric. Always kept them in the...

    Vintage Eyeglasses

    Hey, does anyone here know where one could send their vintage glasses to get the plastic ear guard at the end of the temples replaced or repaired? The above chrome pair is starting to lose that plastic protector and it'll gouge in behind the ear. I'd like to make good use of these and keep them...
