    Democracy

    It occurred to me the other day that one of the critical differences in systems of government is this. Do they put the rights of the individual first, or do the masses, the proletariat, the master race, the chosen people or some other group count for everything and the individual for nothing...

    Your TOP Bogart movie..?

    Bogart was known as a juvenile in upper crust comedies, "tennis anyone" is exactly right. He actually did come from a wealthy New York family. And it was Petrified Forest that gave him the chance to play the heavy for the first time. In his younger years he could have killed in Sabrina but not...

    What's for Dinner?

    You could try adding a tablespoon of maple syrup to the melted marshmallows when you make krispy squares.

    Tourist cabins, auto and motor courts

    Cities like New York are full of buildings built and decorated by skilled stone masons before the 1930s. Then the modern glass and brick, or glass and aluminum look came in and the stone masons were out of work. Then of course large building projects ground to a halt in the depression. It was...

    Spam turns 80!

    I always keep a couple of cans in the cupboard for emergencies. I like fried spam and eggs, also fried spam and cheese sandwiches.

    What's for Dinner?

    The maple flavor marshmallows are President's Choice brand. This is the premium house brand of Loblaw's stores in Canada. I got them at No Frills, a Loblaw's chain. I checked the label on the bag and it says they are made in the US for Loblaw's stores so they may be available in the US under a...

    What's for Dinner?

    Not dinner exactly, but the other day they had Maple flavor marshmallows at the grocery store for Canada Day. I thought they might make an interesting rice krispy square. So that is what I made. They are good.

    What's for Dinner?

    Bangers and mash with a twist. Had a jacket potato with mushroom gravy, pork sausage with fried onions green peas and of course brown sauce. And a mug of tea. Last night I fancied a baked potato. Since I don't like to heat up the oven for one potato I made 4 and made some mushroom gravy to go...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Has anyone looked into the theory that the Titanic sinking was faked up as an insurance scam, that the so called Titanic was actually the badly damaged sister ship Olympic disguised as the Titanic, it was deliberately scuttled, and the ship that was standing by to rescue the passengers and crew...

    What Shows/Movie Franchises have you "Rage Quit"?

    I'm glad you said it. I tried to watch his movies for years thinking there was some sophisticated New York humor I wasn't getting. Nope. They just aren't very good.

    What Shows/Movie Franchises have you "Rage Quit"?

    Older I get, pickier I get. I watched a whole season of Breaking Bad because I heard it was a well made show. It is that, as far as I can judge. Even though it was just a couple of losers trying to get rich quick selling drugs. I quit when it became obvious it was never going to get any better.

    Your favorite movie quotes

    There is a movie I saw part of on TV about 50 years ago. Have never been able to find it again or figure out what it was but there was one very funny scene in it that I remember. Young athletic health nut type guy is trying to woo a young widow with 2 little boys. She doesn't care for him...

    The Real Reason Malls Are Closing

    They are dying from lack of money, because the middle class is being slowly destroyed. Younger people prefer to buy online. Goodbye malls, you had a good run.

    What Shows/Movie Franchises have you "Rage Quit"?

    Go watch some gangster movies of the twenties and thirties or read accounts of hijackings from that era. Find a picture or description of gangsters in balaclavas and I will buy you a lollipop. I am perfectly aware of what a Balaclava is, when it was invented and who wore them. I defy you to...

    What Shows/Movie Franchises have you "Rage Quit"?

    More often than not I will watch 5 or 10 minutes of a movie or TV show and shut it off in disgust or boredom. I heard Boardwalk Empire was a good show. Managed to watch about 5 minutes of the first episode, ignoring the anacronisms until a gang of hijackers showed up in ski masks. Yea right...

    1950's Style plain T-Shirts? But where ????

    I'd be happy if I could get some where the neck band doesn't stretch out of shape after the first washing. Old ones weren't like that.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    If you work in the body shop trade and don't know what feathering disc adhesive is, it would be something like not knowing what paint or sandpaper were. It is something you use every day or at least was until a few years ago. I will admit, they seldom use it anymore and that is the point. This...
