    The 80s, myth and reality?

    Creating fiction by basing it on something real--Shangri-La based on Tibet's Kunlun mountains, for example--makes it easier for the reader/viewer to believe it's real; sort of a shortcut to a place that doesn't actually exist. Add enough realistic detail, and some people ("Conspiracy Theorists"...

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    The "Kokomo" that they sang about never existed, so if there was ever a Kokomo Bar in the Florida keys it was probably only there for as long as that stupid song was a hit on the radio. One thing to remember about American entertainment--it's ALL fiction. Oh, sure, the song/television...

    Personal opinion as a long time cat parent/owner--if you don't like the fact that cats have claws, don't have a cat in your house. It's that simple.

    I'm with Turnip; I think only one of those boots was actually made in the U.S.. ;)

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Yes, I'd say that's an accurate description.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Poultry concentrate is mixed with chicken feed, then fed to the chickens. It can provide protein, lysine, methionine, calcium, phosphorus, salt, vitamins, trace minerals, and probably anything else that chickens might need in their diet to remain healthy and grow larger.

    I was thinking the Smith brothers.

    Couldn't that be considered cannibalism? :confused:

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I do know a few people who disliked "Dial" as much as I do, but I don't know where they stand on the franchise or Mr. Spielberg in general. For me some of his movies fall under the "acquired taste" category, if I've watched them at all. Scanning the list of movies he's Produced/Directed, I...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I can't remember exactly when it was, but some years ago Rick Springfield was "in concert" here in southern California, and my late wife asked if I would take her to see him perform if none of her friends would go. Now, I knew this was bunk, because she had one friend who was most definitely a...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    As did I, having lived just east of Los Angeles my whole life in a mostly Latino neighborhood. Wide brimmed straw hats are certainly popular here among gardeners, and straw "western/cowboy" hats are popular for family gatherings, backyard barbecues, events that involve horses and bulls and...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I didn't think Dial of Destiny held up to a first watch. I honestly didn't think Mr. Spielberg could have done worse than Temple of Doom, but he proved me wrong. I haven't seen Oppenheimer yet, but I'm looking forward to it despite the mixed reviews it has received here in the U.S..

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Not yet, anyway. Or modern medical science just hasn't found a provable link between death and microwaves. "Well, Dr. Stone, during Mr. Deadman's autopsy we observed his Pineal Gland seemed to have quite literally been cooked into being completely useless, but we don't know what could have...

    I brought some Royaura shirts so you don't have too.

    Been there, done that. A few years ago I saw an ad on Farcebook for a hat I thought looked nice. Allegedly made by some country in "the middle east" that used a photo of an alleged Stetson configured into a Pork Pie with a Diamond crease. Now, I knew it wouldn't be "as advertised" because in...
