    Only an ignorant man acts as though he has a monopoly on the truth. Dutch Reagen pardoned a record number of convicted felons who were members of his Administration. The record may be jeopardized by this President if all goes well. The Med fruit fly infestation was an act of nature, not a...

    A mere quibble: Please be not offended. Kentucky Derby is run on first Saturday in May.

    The Open Road Guild

    Information please... James & All, I never got an answer from anyone in the flock on this; I own a still serviceable Stetson 150 and another which is going to Art for as much work as is cost effective. It's only a filthy body at this time. Stripped bare of everything... Both were bought in...

    It's a Beaut! Either "The Jazzman" or "The 52nd Street" would suit Hat to a Vout! Doesn't The Book of Isaiah say something along these lines; ...and they shall beat their best raiment out of the belly fur of aquatic rodents? :drum:

    The Open Road Guild

    This will be my 3rd or 5th Open Road Style Lid It cost $62.50 with shipping and insurance. It is to be returned by mid Autumn at the latest. If I never see it again, it will probably be too soon. :kick: This is my 100th post. What will become of " Familiar Face" as I pass this milestone...

    Golden Era tipples?

    Too Young to Savour this during Prohibition but... 50 parts White Lightnin' and 1 part embalming fluid with a splash of kerosene or lighter fluid was a smashing and sophisticated libation during the Jass Age. :drum: I erred before, should have been only 2% embalming fluid, NOT 20%. I hope...

    Senator Jack, I don't get your cryptic reference. Please amplify.

    Whiskey

    Partial: Started drinkin' and smokin' in mid-50s. My Senior Camp councilor, I was the Junior, introduced me to the joys of 100 proof, bottled in Bond, and I think 4 or more years old Old Overholt straight Rye whiskey. On days off we would also bring a pound of NY cheddar back from the...

    Very good of you MK, to have moved so swiftly on the idea. How will we access user names of those fellow/gal Loungers bidding on the auctions. To this point, barely more than 24 hours since the idea was floated, registration of auction names has been implemented. What have you got in mind for...

    An Excellent Idea. Implement ASAP. eBay has strictures on what is and what is not Fair Play/Usage of their site. I suggest that we familiarize ourselves with them. A caveat; a great deal of information about you may be gleaned from your pattern of buying and less so from your sales.

    A Fedora At My Door

    Struck a chord. I might just carry it off avec panache. An ivory toothpick with an artificial olive or a tiny umbrella as may be found in resort type tropical libations could be substituted for the feather. Even a sprig of parsley might be a welcome change from a beautiful yet hum-drum...

    A great new asset. Thanks Brad. I read the article in The Times but my browser crashed thrice when I tried to access the university site. Perhaps the article drew too much traffic at this time. I've bookmarked the site and will try later on and do whatever it takes. :arated: Once more I...

    Could I have been the only one who saw this Lee One Hundred?

    That Farmer Did NOT Wear The Hat Very Often Not down here, he didn't. Congrats on a great score. Perhaps you'll trade with a fellow Lounger for something in your size. I don't mean me either.(7 1/4 - 3/8) :cheers1:

    We would lie on the carpet and read the Sunday funnies.

    The quote below started this ol' Gaffer/Geezer to maundering. Taken from an abbreviated & boldly edited quote: Does this have meaning to anyone present? "Roast rump of tree dwelling elephant with Ecstasy sauce?" The sauce required that an almost extinct porcine breed; the Hammus...

    What happened!

    Thank Heaven for that. A near thing... To have had an entire life's work destroyed by a few vagrant leptons would have been a shanda(yid.). All humanity shall be at your feet upon publication of said treatise. :arated:
