    Ah, but would you shave your beard down to nothing but a goatee? :oops:

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    My guess is that this is due to the obsession among the younger crowds with constantly taking photos of themselves. Calling something an "album" would likely draw their minds towards a "photo album" (on their computer, laptop, notebook, phone, or whatever electronic device is in favor these...

    That's really more a matter of racking up posts, but participation is always welcomed and appreciated!

    ↑ Further proof that women are generally smarter than men--she's the only one looking at the camera.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I've always thought Dawn Wells was more attractive than Tina Louise, but then I prefer shorter curvier women. ;) My guess is that the folks at Sundance didn't want to have to deal with a flood of complaint letters from a bunch of dimwits who can't figure out that the social climate in the...

    What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

    The response I've received in this part of the U.S. is usually something to the effect of, "We can't get any because the Pandemic affected the supply chain, and manufacturers around the world are still trying to get caught up." :rolleyes:

    Old gas stations

    I'm not sure which button you're referring to; we might not have them here in the U.S.. But we do have to select between three different octanes--Regular/87, Midgrade/89-90, or Premium/91-94.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    The Sundance Channel is airing a marathon of Gilligan's Island today. Before some of the episodes, and at the end of each commercial break during those episodes, Sundance decided this warning needed to be aired: "This program includes language and cultural stereotypes inconsistent with modern...

    You know you are getting old when:

    I've seen Sir Elton John in concert five times. The first was the now iconic performance at Dodger Stadium on October 25, 1975. I've forgotten when and where the rest were, but Sir Elton never failed to entertain. Pfff, kids. My dad was born in March of 1913; he was older than some of my...

    Star Trek

    Surely the doctors at that hospital would report her "miraculous" new kidneys, and that information would wind up in the hands of Earth's most knowledgeable physical scientists. So, like Mr. Scott and the "transparent aluminum", how do we know Dr. McCoy's actions didn't lead to the development...

    Old gas stations

    Yeah, but it's all unleaded now; the smells are as different as caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee. :(

    What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

    Nice cap, and I think that crown size and shape suit you. I've had to bookmark their website, because all of the caps I like are out of stock in my size currently.

    Star Trek

    Paramount seems to be happy with their new "streaming" shows, and Star Trek: Picard seems to have been popular enough among the fans (especially the third season) to erase Nemesis from their memories. At this point I'm not sure if we'll ever see a new theatrical Star Trek movie...or even a TV...

    Star Trek

    Lately, each time I've had a conversation with someone about the evolution of Star Trek over the years I tend to mention, "Between all of the changes necessary to continue telling those stories, and the advances in special effects technologies, now the only series that doesn't fit in with the...

    Star Trek

    Keep in mind, TOS was produced by Desilu Productions, later re-named Paramount Television. Broadcast television, that is, not cable or streaming. As such, the aesthetics (sets, costumes, props, etc.) are the intellectual property of Desilu/Paramount TV, so the studio producing Strange New...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    By their very nature, I thought dad jokes weren't supposed to be funny. Nicely played! Unless the city you live in puts all kinds of lousy chemicals, that would discolor the hat, in their tap water. I use distilled water in a spray bottle to re-shape my felt hats. Spray 'em down good, let...

    Movie hats

    Certainly no more than most of us do now. The difference is that movie stars need to show their faces on-screen, so their hats were/are usually tilted on their heads away from the camera so their faces showed better and we audience members could/can recognize them. In real life, this isn't...

    Indiana Jones V

    I've forgotten what they call it, but there appears to be a "syndrome" with some American movie franchises in which every other movie is good, and the others not so much. In this case, Temple of Doom and Crystal Skull, being the even numbered sequels, suffer from this syndrome while Raiders...
