    They Don't Build Them Like They Used To. Do they?

    Thanks for sharing those video links ... sure brought back some great memories. I still remember the first time someone finally handed "The Hammer" his lunch ... was a kid from Pittsburgh by the name of Bob "The Battleship" Kelly -- what a great scrap! Couldn't agree more with your thoughts...

    Loungers' Pets

    For Christmas, I picked this doll face up for my wife ... her (the pup) name's Mia Bella & she was a miniature Chihuahua: Sometimes things don't go as planned and who would have guessed that Sadie, my Aussie-Border Collie would end up having the wife's gift for lunch ...

    Favorite Song/Quote

    Hope I don't banned for this, but I also like Rod Stewart's and (now hold on) Barry Manilow's versions, too ... lyricist, Mitchell Parish really put a face on Carmichael's tune, no?

    Help With Fly Fishing Fedora ...

    Thanks, Rick ... I'd really like something along the lines of Stewart's fedora. Can anyone draw a bullseye on the name/style/whereabouts of his fedora? K.D. -- indeed ... fine driving caps/fishing hats in 'A River Runs Through It'. Watched 'Mobsters' (Christian Slater) last evening and...

    Help With Fly Fishing Fedora ...

    Thanks to all for the replies ... all of the styles suggested would work just fine, however, it's David's, Jimmy Stewart fedora that really does it for me -- i.e., the hat band, front pinch and the front droop brim. What particular style is that and where might I find it? Taking the elements...

    Help With Fly Fishing Fedora ...

    Greetings ... please help me in the purchase of a stylish, yet practical fly fishing fedora. Having googled and perused an infinite number of vendor's sites, I am no closer to a decison than I was, say twenty years ago. Any suggestions will most certainly be appreciated -- thank you

    Born and reared in Chicago, I can say with confidence that the handle you saw belonged to his throw-down piece. All kidding aside ... Dad's cousin, a Chicago cop (retired, mid-eighties) carried a 4" S&W Model 19 and a good friend's Dad, another Chicago police officer (retired...

    Show us your Guns!

    Great thread ... and how good to hear folks still talking about the 10mm, Patriarch to the 40 S&W -- i.e., short & weak (just kidding!). When backcountry flyfishing here in Colorado, it's generally a Glock 20 and on rare occasions, a Kimber Eclipse Custom (10mm) that's on my hip and when in the...
